Listened this last night and this morning to and from work.
It's a bit bonkers and a little pretentious, but I love it.
Personally I consider it to be more creative, ambitious and ultimately more credible than The Killers or Kasabian's new material.

What is it?
The new
My Chemical Romance album.
Ah.
I'm clearly getting old.
Don't worry
I had to be told this as well the other day. You're better off not knowing, really.
Not heard it yet
But I shall be exposed to it for the next year by my housemate. I am dubious about it being any good to my ears, nearly as dubious as I am about claims from certain circles that the new Robbie Williams album is good.
That lead single though. It has a key change. A KEY CHANGE! Key changes are for West End musicals and boy band ballads.

It's full
blown musical theatre all the way through. It's got Liza Minelli on it for fuck's sake!
