With Titles Like These, What Will MCR's Newest Album Be Named?
My Chemical Romance has been hard at work in the studio for a few months. Just yesterday, Ray wrote a blog about the recording process and even some of the titles of their upcoming tracks. There hasn't been much said about the title of the upcoming album, but with names like these, what do you think the next album will be called?
Per Ray and his magic ability to transmit his thoughts onto the interwebz, a teeny blog was released about the new what's next for My Chemical Romance. There was lots of talk about how each song is bigger and louder than the next and that kind of made me wince. Just because something is bigger and louder does not mean it rocks. Hopefully MCR can pull it off.
Songs thus far -
Still Alive - Apparently this song is loud. Ray says it's bass and drum heavy, with some influence by Queen. Let's hope MCR doesn't get all "Muse" on us. There was only one Queen and sadly, all others usually end up in the corner of shame wearing a plastic tiara from the 99 Cent store.

Save Yourself - Ray says this song is very Judas Priest. I can only hope that it is from when Rob Halford was into faux leather daddy suits. Plz Gerard, plz bring sexy back because it looks like sexy broke up with you a LONG time ago.

The Only Hope For Me Is You - With a name like that, I already smell radio air waves. Yes, I have an awesome sense of smell. Also, this song is SEW on the next "Twilight" movie soundtrack, i noes it.

Trans Am - Ray says, "Trans Am" is an epic take on "Born To Run" in 4 minutes." I don't even know what that means. Trans Am's just make me think about hipsters being ironic on the city streets as they play some crap-tastic Southern Rock from the late 70's.

Death Before Disco - According to Ray, this song is awesome because when he drives as he listens to this track, HE MUST DRIVE FAST. Straight from the Ray's mouth, "I think that's a hallmark of a great rock song." I can see it now: Ray, in his lifted truck, racing at break-neck speeds while listening to his own music, slams a RockStar Energy Drink all while doing donuts in a parking lot of the local mall at 1 in the morning because he's misunderstood. BRAVO. The following photo is a guy being "misunderstood." I googled "I'm so misunderstood" and Gerard Way's face came up like, on the first or second page. LULz

Kiss The Ring - I'm thinking "Godfather" crammed into tight black jeans.This song was played at the Roxy shows (as were others off the upcoming album).

Black Dragon Fighting Society - Ray says this song is MCR's "Ode to Misfits punk." Wasn't that basically there the last few albums? SKELETON GLOVES you guise. Look - The Misfits already ruined "The Misfits." We don't need anyone else to. Just sayin'.

These names SCREAM 1980-something. I don't know if anyone told MCR, but the people being into the 80's for the heck of it happened like 10 years ago. That's cool, though. Maybe the boiz in MCR will do something to the 80's that HAS NEVER BEEN DONE before. I know in mai black hart that they can do it. As long as anyone doesn't bust out a key-tar, then I will keep an open mind about New Jersey's finest purveyors of rock.

Having said that, these names make me think that the next album is going to be called something like "Bro-encholy and the Infinite Brotasticness." Or maybe it will be all punx rawx and be "Earth 1985 A.D." Go ahead. Give the new album title a spin. It makes you feel good about yourself. What do you think the new album will be called with title tracks like these?
