The band, which released a trailer for the album, worked with producer and New Warner Bros. head Rob Cavallo on this, their fourth LP and first since 2006′s aforementioned The Black Parade. If the trailer is indicative of the visual elements the band plan on utilizing, then their first single, the annoyingly titled “Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na)”, should indicate that we’re in for quite a caffeine-fueled romp through the pop-rock desert in a trippy dune bug. One ticket, please.
Other than the song whose title we refuse to write again, frontman Gerard Way told NME that while he’s proud of the wildly different album as a whole, he compared “Death Before Disco” to Bruce Springsteen’s 1975 classic “Born To Run”, calling their song a “an anti-party song that you can party to.” We’re confused, and we like it.
Enjoy the first single and the tracklist below. Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys is due out November 22nd on Reprise Records.
