My Chemical Romance "Danger Days: True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys""

How do you follow up your most critically acclaimed concept album? By going bigger or going home, and do they? While the last record was am entertaining and enjoyable concept album about the adventures of the protagonist  known as "The Patient," in a record that took their sound and theatrics to a different level with influences from Queen to System of a Down (I don't know, they said it not me, or at least I remember that comparison). While this may also be another concept album, they are not one in the same. First, the influences are different on this record than that of the previous, as well as the sound; well it should be. While the songs off the previous record didn't exactly sound the same, their sound was not as diverse as those in this record. Are you falling asleep? "Look Alive, Sunshine" You only have possibly, like a couple more minutes of reading to go. Just listening to the aforementioned intro and the voice overs in the really rambunctious, catchy, and addictive singalong sounds like bare-bones classic punk with modern-touches; that makes you wanna sing "Na Na Na (Na Na Na)", or shout it as the adrenaline rushes through your veins as you pump your fist in the air. The next song has a spacey Styx-like intro that brings them back to earth, but despite the force being exerted: the chorus soars because "Gravity/don't mean too much to me/ I'm who I've got to be..." Don't be mad at me for loving to join in and "Sing" a song that does so for so many different kinds of people from the underdog to those that you love, and to sing with your heart, possibly until you're nuts; maybe even enough to "Planetary (GO!)" on a journey to when worlds collide (A TIME) through words and phrasing that will take you to a galactic rave instead of a mosh pit on the moon. Maybe we're still somewhere out of the atmosphere, and we're  running out of oxygen. With the intro it is hard to tell if it's true, if "The Only Hope For Me is You." Another short interlude help make this experience more cinematic, than theatric with a little help from "Jet Star and the Kobra Kid/Traffic Report" is that there is no cognitive congestion in determining that this is a song that is no frills rock with a good deal of attitude and a driving beat; who cares if the "Party Poison," it sounds like good time."Save Yourself, I'll Hold Them Back." Shoot! why did I say that when I had no plan?! ok, I gotta think quick because they're reading this, rolling their eyes, and..umm...AH HA! I got it, It's not the best but this is what I got. Let's just say that this song has a sound only  the spirit of a Mama or Helena can love; the sound is theatrical, brash, and full of attitude. It may even take you to The Other Side to when Aerosmith rocked the stage. This "S/C/A/R/E/C/C/R/O/W" is ill-equipped when it comes to keeping me away from singing along to this homage to classic rock, and just seems like it would make a great single to listen to during the "Summertime." Take some Queen and a dash of Jimmy Eat World and you got yourself a hit. The tribal drums and ragga-punk tendencies may urge you to "Destroya" chair or something. It is one of their most addictive and heavier tunes. The "Kids From Yesterday" has a prominent beat, that could be downright annoying, or a minor misstep, and a mixture of Jack Johnson and Jimmy Eat World. "Goodnite, Dr. Death" is the final transmission from one of the protagonists in the story, possibly, and why not add an instrumental of The National Anthem for flair? I won't even mention the last song because it is sooo bad, but is it really that bad? Check it out to see.
