Nov 30, 2017While definitely not MCR's best album, "Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys" still gets a resounding 10/10. I don't have one complaint about this album other than I wish it wasn't their last. I wish they hadn't broken up, they're just too good. This album sends them out on a super high note and just makes me want more. While not their best, still absolutely amazing. A+

Nov 23, 2010It's a real rock album, treading in both old and unfamiliar grounds, but there's a lack of emotion and inability to get me feel the music involuntarily. They can't make an arena rock song if KISS and King Crimson joined them, so they should just stick to dark emo rock.

Nov 22, 2010A FANTASTIC album. I have not been this blown away by a piece of work like this in a very long time. The album is as flawless as any album I have ever heard with only one track that I'm not a big fan of (DESTROYA). From Na Na Na to Vampire Money, this album has it all.

Nov 22, 2010Blown Away. That pretty much sums up my reaction to this album. To be honest I was not expecting such a well-rounded, brilliant album. But they delivered. Hands Down.
Standout Tracks:
Bulletproof Heart
Planetary (GO!)
The Only Hope For Me Is You
Summertime
This album thoroughly deserves a 10/10. Right up there with the Black Keys as best album of the year -

Nov 23, 2010A near perfect album. The music sets a tone that is consistent throughout. Consistently fun. Tracks like "Planetary (GO!)" could just as easily be played at a club as well as during a rock show. What a departure from previous albums! Wow! Truly music ahead of its time.

Nov 24, 2010I love this upbeat MCR album; Its not emo like thier other album but its a really good album i love it. The songs are so good on this album. This album contains alot of good songs. I like the new mcr more. This band made too many dark songs i think it was time for them to make more happy songs. One of the best rock album of 2010

Dec 7, 2010pienso que este album, es una convinacion de los grandes exitos de esta banda, se nota en una estetica musical tiene una consolidacion, cada tema presenta claramente lo que quiere demostrar la banda, y no queda mas que decirles a los amantes de mcr que este es un gran disco, en el cual tiene que mostrar lo que mcr ha sido en estos 10 años.

Jan 25, 2012Great album that is undermined by emo a-holes who to begin with are stupid for even calling them emo, this change from dark and colorless themes found in 3 cheers for sweet revenge and The Black Parade have been replaced with a more colorful and progressive rock theme that seems to resemble the music of Bon Jovi, MCR has succesfully made the transition.

Feb 13, 2011Biggest disappointment of 2010. This is one of my favourite bands but this album is not the band I have grown to love. It's polished and poppy and unoriginal in sound. In multiple interviews, lead singer Gerard Way promised readers that the album was going to be more underground, harder, and more true to their roots but this is more Lady Gaga than the Misfits. Try again, boys.
-
Nov 24, 2010This album wouldn't even make it on it's own. It is complete trash. I loved their past 3 albums. but this sounds like hollow dance rock made by a 6 year old. I am no longer a fan of My Chemical Romance because of this.

Dec 16, 2011I absolutely cannot stand this album. I feeling like bawling my eyes out when I listen to it. I have been trying to accept it but My Chemical Romance is just trying too hard to become mainstream, unoriginal, and more pop than anything else. I have loved this band since I heard of them, at about age 9. They're cemented into my life. This album should be cemented into the ground. I'm disgusted.

Feb 13, 2011Great album. Their best since Bullets. I'm a huge fan of MCR, and this fails to disappoint. Their style has changed from dark (not emo though) alt. rock to a more punky edge. So some fans will be disappointed, some fans will be gained, but I like this album along with Bullets, 3 Cheers, and Parade.

May 24, 2011This is rock and roll. This is the way forwards for rock music. But this, sadly, is not the MCR fans will have been expecting. It pumps out some great ballads, and has an incredible perception and storyline, but ultimately leaves you thinking what just happened. A great experiment, hampered by the band killing some of it's own appeal in the process.

Jun 28, 2011I was never a fan on the band's earlier material. In fact, I still dislike the first few albums. But this album proved to be a surprise. It's fun all the way through in a silly kind of way and deffinatly memorable.

Sep 29, 2011It was really good, especially the first half of the album. There was a couple of songs that didn't really fit the album, though (Summertime + Save yourself I'll hold them back). I particularly enjoyed the songs Bulletproof Heart, Planetary (GO!) and The Kids From Yesterday.
-
Nov 3, 2011This album is a stray away from the original MCR feel, it's a lot more 'popy' then previous albums so long time MCR fans may be disappointed, But still a fun exiting album.

Apr 25, 2018Has some highlights like the first 3 full-length tracks which are genuinely great but after that it goes downhill a little. Some lowpoints include Planetary (GO!) and Party Poison as well as the pointless "Dr. Death" tracks which contribute nothing. There are still some pretty good stuff after the first 3 full-length songs like Save Yourself, I'll Hold Them Back.

Apr 27, 2020This album proves all the people that said that my Chemical Romance are nothing but another "emo" band, fairly it's not their best album
But it's surely one of my all time favorite -
Jan 4, 2022Actual garbage, I have relistened to this many times and I can never bring myself to find a single reedemeable aspect to it. I like nothing at all about this. Its not only its annoying songs, but its just that the rest just sounds like compiled garbage that they decided to make and add to album, I seriously cannot find anything enjoyable at all
-
Jun 25, 2022although it may not be as iconic as it's predecessors this album is my favourite mcr album songs like na na na and party poison are amazing pop punk tracks. The only reason I deduct a point is because the black parade is just better at getting it's message across though this album is still the best mcr album in my opinion.

Aug 11, 2022Buen album pero es muy infravalorado y odiado por que no tiene una tematica emo

Jan 13, 2011This is the kind of album you just throw on to have fun. If anything, it proves My Chemical Romance don't need to be eccentric or theatrical to put out an enjoyable record.
-
Dec 22, 2010The reason this convoluted rock opera can't match the Who, U2, Green Day, or even Styx is that Danger Days is a story constructed without rising or falling action.

MojoDec 20, 2010For a band feeling they had painted themselves into a corner, this is them sodding the consequences and stomping their way out. [Dec 2010, p.96]
