Album Review: My Chemical Romance - Danger Days: The True Lives Of The Fabulous Killjoys (Warner)

An epic, end-of-days drive, taking in '80s synths, mainstream metal and gleaming pop

When NME first met My Chemical Romance they were a fresh-faced bunch of punk rock tykes playing a truly incendiary gig at Manchester’s cupboard-like Hop & Grape. After frontman Gerard Way dived into the crowd and got a female fan’s thumb stuck behind his eyeball, we thought we’d take them out on the town for a drink. Racing upstairs on the bus to whisk everyone off to an...

My Chemical Romance - Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys: Wikipedia Album Entry

On November 22, My Chemical Romance will return with their supercharged new album, Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys, and if they seem rather invigorated this time out — what with frontman Gerard Way's radioactive-red dye job and their newfound affinity for Trans Ams and DayGlo leather jackets — well, they owe it all to one song: the hyperkinetic first single, "Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na)."
Recharged, the band met up with Cavallo (who did their 2006 album, The Black Parade) and powered through. The end result was Danger Days, and though the album's release is still more than two months away, Way says that "Na Na Na" is just a taste of what fans can expect on the album. There's an energy to it, a spirit. It's the song that saved the band.
