>New Jersy emo kings get ideas above their station
>Those that witnessed the piss-filled bottles raining down on them at this year's Reading Festival will understand how metallers feel about My Chemical Romance. Album three sees New Jersey's pale-faced suburbanites mould their poppy emo into a bizarre range of guises. From the cock-rock of 'Cancer' to the stadium schmaltz of 'The End', it reeks of a band with ideas above their station. Worse, it employs a pseudo-theatrical feel, as if they're Meat Loaf's spoilt nephews. The marching band outro on 'Welcome to the Black Parade' is the final nail in the coffin.
Just one star? Must be a piece of shit. Especially "Welcome to the Black Parade" by the sound of it. That's one group I can scratch off my list. Thanks, Jaimie Hodgson!
