Aside from a few songs American idiot didn't age super well for me. Ambitious but I skip around a lot
Danger Days is one of those albums that once I put it on, I can’t turn it off. Definitely my favorite album by them and one of my favorites of all time. God I want a follow up so bad haha
If there were a studio version of Stay, that plus Fake Your Death would make such a sweet album with CW.
Here we go again with Danger Days... Damn, I love it haha. Still need it on vinyl. Think I’ll look today. I LOVE driving through the desert listening to it. I remember the build up to the release and really digging the direction they went with it. The videos were all awesome too. I actually saw them live more in danger days era than any other era, which is weird to think about bc I was obsessed with Three Cheers when that dropped. It would be so interesting to hear what MCR would sound like in 2019.
Lol seriously, I got the feeling that would happen. They did an Elders React video of MCR at one point too and I think they were surprisingly a bit more positive than the kids if I'm remembering correctly
MCR in 2019 should sound like "Desolation Row" in my humble opinion. I loved that aesthetic and what they did with that song. But I also REALLY REALLY liked Danger Days and "Fake Your Death"
Wow I never knew about Fake Your Death. Didn't realize their compilation album had an unreleased track, holy fuck haha
I wish the Danger Days vinyl was on a double LP or at least 3 sides of 2 LPs it sounds pretty good but it's still rather compressed but such is the reality of re-pressing stuff for vinyl far after the fact
It’s a hot August day, and I’m listening to DD. It’s funny because I never listened to it when it came out due to how long it felt between TBP. I just kinda lost interest in the band between that time. Finally listened to it probably 3 years ago, and love it now. When I saw it was coming out I thought it was corny how they were going for a post-apocalypse vibe. Mannnn was I wrong. I love the whole aesthetic they went for, and it works so well.
Only took me a dozen years but their pre-Danger Days albums are finally clicking with me. I appreciated them but rarely revisited them. I guess I'm pinching myself for not stanning them harder as a teenager. Unrelated to their music, but I'm just realizing how much work and taste went into their looks through their career. The ones for the Danger Days era in particular (Gerard!) are incredible.
Holy shit that was amazing. If that doesn't get the band back together, IDK what will. His version should be on the radio
Imagining Gerard standing, looking back, reflecting on all their albums...saying; "Just look at all that pain...." (from "Fake Your Death"). Pretty perfect way to send off their career.
