I own this album in both the CD and vinyl format. The photos that make up the lyric book in the CD are also what make up the inside artwork for the vinyl. The lyrics are also included on the vinyl insert. The vinyl itself is a standard black 180 gram pressing, and the label has the spider logo, which is a cool addition. Since this is a single vinyl LP I thought that it was a bit strange for it to come in a gatefold jacket, but it's great that it allows you to have the beautiful photographs as part of the album artwork. When you hear this album, it doesn't seem like it would translate well onto vinyl, but I can assure you that it sounds absolutely amazing, you can really hear all of the incredible layers of sound in all of the songs.



Musically, I don't think that this album will ever compare to Three Cheers or The Black Parade, but this album was never meant to live up to those albums, it was made to stand on its own. Once you separate Danger Days from MCR's earlier albums, you can appreciate it for how incredible it truly is. This album is a masterpiece in its own right, each song is well crafted and they all work together to create a story for the listener. The singles from this album (Na Na Na, Sing, and Planetary) are all amazing songs, but the other tracks are all equally incredible. My personal favorites are S/C/A/R/E/C/R/O/W, Save Yourself I'll Hold Them Back, Destroya, and The Only Hope For Me Is You. Destroya and Save Yourself are both high energy songs that carry a very strong beat. S/C/A/R/E/C/R/O/W is my absolute favorite track on this album, it is so different from any other song the band has done, and it is very emotional. If you listen to its lyrics, you can really hear the emotion that was invested into it. Overall, this album is absolutely incredible even though it was a huge step in a different direction for the band. Listen to this album straight through, including the spoken tracks, before you make your judgement on this album. This album is absolutely incredible, and I think that it is a great representation of the talent in My Chem. Definitely check this album out!
