Yeah currently listening to this one. Reminds of AFI in a GREAT way.

 

Idk if I ever listened to all the CW songs since they initially released them at separate times and I'm terrible at keeping up with music in general let alone when it's like gradually released. I'll have to go back and see if I've heard them all. Even if I have, I never listened enough for it to stick

 

CW doesn't match any of their albums but I still love it. Boy Division and Burn Bright especially are two of my favourite MCR songs.

 

Yeah, there are some songs I would consider near top tier MCR, but I can see why they decided to take Danger Days in a different direction

 

I need to go back and listen to Danger Days, because in my head right now I like Conventional Weapons a lot more.

 

I'm thankful we live in a timeline with both DD and CW. My controversial opinion on CW is that the acoustic songs (yes even Light Behind) are some of the weaker songs they ever recorded. But they're still good and I love CW as a whole.

 

I'm still salty about the recorded version of The World is Ugly.

 

Boy Division is such a ripper. If they ever reform, it would be cool if they played it.

 

Looks like I’m a weird one that kinda fell off after TBP was released.

 

Since the break up I’ve gone back to Danger Days more than any other album by them. I really like that album and think it’s great for road trips.

 

I love Summertime so much.

 

Danger days is also great for gaming and biking and honestly most things.

 

Naw a lot of people fell off. TBP was a massive era for them and danger days wasn't in comparison. I feel like DD hadn't been very well-received when it was released and they lost some momentum and fans which is why it wasn't v surprising when they broke up.

 

Yeah I’m definitely in this camp. I think I wanted another AFI and it wasn’t what I got. I enjoy all that older stuff regularly though.

 

We'll Love Again
We'll Laugh Again
We'll Cry Again
We'll Dance Again

Probably not, tho.

 

Danger Days and Folie a Deux both have the exact same story it's kind of wild

 

Confirmed MCR Pop/Arena-Rock comeback 2019

 

I remember trying to pass out stickers at Warped Tour in 2006 promoting the Black Parade and getting little to no interest. I was "working" at the AP tent so I'd ask anyone walking by if they liked MCR and wanted a sticker and they'd either halfheartedly say yeah or shrug then walk away. I probably still have a bunch in my collection somewhere.

 

If they pull it off as well as FOB then I'm in... haha

 

Could you imagine?? I’d feel so blessed

 

They became festival headliners during the Danger Days era which I'm pretty sure they weren't before. and they were supposedly working on new music a few months before they broke up. Their break-up was hugely surprising at the time, though yes, with hindsight it's become more obvious in retrospect. This is at best revisionist.

 

I mean okay I disagree is all. They played 10-15k capacity venues on TBP tour and 1500 capacity venues for DD. Their material wasn't being received as enthusiastically. All I can say is that a breakup was obvious to me? I was waiting for it for a while before it was announced because it felt inevitable. Not because I'm like all knowing or so smart or anything lol just cause they were playing smaller venues, again dd was being panned by fans, talk of scrapped albums, Mikey way cheating scandal, Anecdotally a lot of ppl I knew who loved three cheers and TBP checked out of the band so their hype felt flatter, etc. It's not rly revisionist history like I was a fan at the time and remember the things happening pretty clearly? I mean regardless if anyone saw the breakup coming doesn't rly matter but... shrug emoji

 

God, if that Mikey Way cheating on and leaving his fiancee for a 20 year old fan shit happened today....

 

Like that scandal was wild af. Like he legit had a secret life. He was married but then engaged to that young fan at the same time and people found out cause the fan made her account public or something idek and then she accused him of using drugs or something instead of helping with her kid and then Bob chimed in and said he should've punched Mikey back in that elevator when he had the chance, Gerard's "oh pickles" response. Hot mess.

 

There was also that time Gerard called a teenage troll on Twitter a **** and threatened to smash their face. ~different times
