I might get flamed for posting this here, of all places, but the new My Chemical Romance album sucks a lot less than I thought it would.
I think they get a bad rap because "emo kids" latched on to them after that "I'm Not Okay" song made it big on the radio even though most of them haven't even heard any of their entire albums. I mean, most of their songs are about dying and/or killing stuff, they have a song that pretty much glorifies prison rape, and there are a lot of references to religion in their music. It's kind of ironic that preteens have latched on to them the way they have.

OK, see, otakupunkx, I actually agree with you that the latest My Chemical Romance album is good, but the funny thing is that it isn't about all that stuff you listed in your post at all. I mean, their last album, yeah totally was, and as long as you thought it was a joke, it was decent fun. Their last album is surprisingly moee...umm...upbeat? It might have a happy ending? It certainly is from the mid to late 70's.
They certainly are on my guilty pleasure list. As are Valient Thorr, who might have the best band name ever. |
It was certainly upbeat in a way, but I wouldn't say it had a happy ending by any means (depending on your definition of happy). Big time guilty pleasure though.
Also, you don't think the preteens actually listen to the lyrics, do you? I told this one kid what the songs were actually about and I thought he was going to shit himself. Preteens nowadays are more interested in High School Musical or what-have-you than debauchery, nowadays, at least where I'm at.

Well, I mean, the last song (not counting the little extra thingee) seemed pretty positive, given the whole theme of the album. |
I can see your point (I actually gave this discussion a lot of thought last period (I'm at school right now by the way)), I always got kind of a sinister feeling from that song though... I might have to give the whole album another listen to one of these days.
Me First and the Gimme Gimmes are great.
