I guess they're doing what Linkin Park did.

I'm hoping this one really takes off. "Na Na Na" was a disappointing lead single, although not a bad one. This, on the other hand, is amazing.

Hopefully this can make the Top 5. The bit I've heard of this sounded good.

I didn't dislike "Na Na Na" by any means (in fact I liked it more than "Black Parade") but "Sing" feels more like the type of song that would give MCR success. This should have a more sustained run, and I agree that top 5 is likely possible despite "Na Na Na" barely puncturing the top 10. This will also end my comparison of this era for MCR compared to their last with AFI's 2 most recent eras as "Medicate" didn't drop off anywhere near as fast as "Na Na Na" and "Sing" is flying up much faster than "Beautiful Thieves".

Let's line 'em up here...
11 16 MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE Na Na Na 674 905 -231 2.154 68 31 MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE Sing 305 74 231 2.015
Look at that; new one rising by the exact same amount that the old one is falling. What a novel idea!
I haven't heard this "Sing" yet, but just about every comment is making this move sound justified. I wish this example didn't have to seemingly be the first time this has ever happened because I could think of handful after handful of followup singles that I wish could have gotten a similar path up the chart vacated by a fading lead single. And I mean fading lead singles that deserved to be fading too. Personally, I don't think "Na Na Na" qualifies as such, but at least those plays it's losing aren't being replaced by My Darkest Days or some shit like that.

On first listen, the new album is... different from the group's other albums. It's hard to believe they started out with the more punk-ish/post-hardcore Bullets album.
This album isn't really that dark at all. In fact, half of it sounds like kind of a "party" album. That said, there are a few songs that were really good, and maybe I'll be used to it.
That said, I'm confident after listening to this that I'll be more partial to Three Cheers and Black Parade, as will many other listeners.

Like I said on Tunelab, if Black Parade is their American Idiot, then this is their 21st Century Breakdown, although from Halo's comments, maybe it's more their Minutes To Midnight. I don't think it's that far removed from their last albums. Just using different components to achieve the same effects.

I love the whole theme of it being played on a radio station or whatever. The album is pretty cool, imo. Scarecrow, The Only Hope for Me is you, and I think Sing are actually my favorites.

Only Hope For Me, Bulletproof Heart, and Planetary are my favorites besides Na Na Na. Bulletproof is great too, and I listened to Planetary on the way home. I missed how good it was before, but I'm really diggin that one too. Definitely not a single song I don't like yet.

Alot of songs on this cd are anthemic. But as far as single candidates, I feel that "Bulletproof Heart" is THE song. It has the perfect balance of rock with a ridiculously catchy chorus. I hope it becomes a single somewhere down the line.

I usually don't care for My Chemical Romance's songs, but this is pretty damn good. Hope it does well. :)

Is it just me or does "Planetary" rhythmically sound way too much like "When Worlds Collide", and if it's coincidental, how wild is it that both songs are about planets of all things? Maybe I'm missing something....

Amazing and inspirational song! Not many songs cause that effect in me. I'm rooting for this to be a big hit. Right now, it seems safe to say it will outpeak "Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na)", which I also like a lot.
About the new album, I'm more than satisfied. During the last couple of years, I had lost much of my interest in this release, due to the long time time they took to put it out. Happily, the wait was worth it.
I love how this band changes their sound with every new album and always delivers. They are really talented. I can see them being relevant for many years and achieving some importance in rock music's history if they keep this strong.

Chorus is a dead ringer for "everlasting love" by Gloria Estefan and whoever sang the original.

LOL, I hate the chorus for this song so maybe that's why. I hope they release Bulletproof Heart and Planetary (Go). Does rock radio need radio edits for length because I'm not sure BH would hold up well with an edit?

This album is epic. I didn't think they would give an effort as strong as the Black Parade. But they did. good for them. They trumped Linkin Park. and Btw the "show me your jazz hands" line in Na Na Na maked the album hehe
