Listen "Danger Days: Why MCR's Most Ambitious Rock Opera Doesn't Work (Even Though They're a Great Band)"
Episode Synopsis
Since we have no new release reviews this week, we're giving you our latest Record Club a few days early, and it is a doozy to kick off 2023 - we are breaking down the stratospheric ambitions and maximalist sound of My Chemical Romance's 2010 smash-hit success DANGER DAYS: THE TRUE LIVES OF THE FABULOUS KILLJOYS. It's an album that reaches for the stars and should be applauded for the attempt but drowns in a miasma of unbearable production, cheesy writing, and a squandering of the band's many talents. However, we recognize there will be a lot of fans out there, so if this record means something to you, or if you have a take on why it works, let us know your counterpoint in the comments on YouTube!
