Tom: Comeback album after a “hiatus”. Third single. Pretentious concept video. To repeat some shtick from yesterday: it’ll be awful, right?
Tom: NO. It’s a great song. Whatever genre they’re in now — alt-rock? emo? Who knows — they’re nailing it.
Tim: They really are, its great. Strange how there are some bands that I like even though if they were just a tiny little bit elsewhere musically I’d hate. My Chemical Romance is the same – emo-rock that’s got just the right small degree of pop to it that makes it work really well for me.
Tom: The album’s been well received — it made it to number 1 on the US album chart. Given the troubles they’ve had in the past (do consult Wikipedia), I’d say this is one of the most triumphant comebacks of recent years.
Tim: High praise indeed, but you may not be far off.
