I wish My Chemical Romance would go away. You Brought Me Your Bullets was good, but everything since has been a joke, in my opinion.
I love all their CDs, one of my top bands. What is it you dislike about TCfSE and TBP so much? I found both brilliant. This said, I never found them a band that lent themselves well to cover songs.
I hate Gerard's voice and I think most of his lyrics are utter crap. He ruins for me what would otherwise be a great band.
Fair enough, as a singer he is certainly lacking. And his lyrics are often pretty generic. I enjoy them, they're no worse than Paramore or other pop-punk/rock acts out there, but surely nothing amazing.
I wouldn't compare My Chemical Romance to any other pop punk band in the scene these days. They've got their own sound, that's for sure. It's just not a sound I can invest in with Gerard's voice.
Oh yeah, I agree, I just meant a lot of the lyrics (especially on Three Cheers...) were pretty typical for the genre. Not their overall sound.
My opinion used to be the complete opposite, but I think they've gotten better with their last album. For me the first two sound as if they can't decide whether they'd rather sound like Thursday or The Smiths. They're still not a band I love but I like them and I don't think they're bad by any means. I'm anticipating a chance to listen to Leathermouth's album much more than anything by MCR themselves, though.
This is supposed to be a showcase of the direction they want to take for their 4th LP. They want a more general rock sound, and this is what it will sound like. Hopefully that means the lyrics will be at this level as well. I personally look forward to it, this song was great. If peopel look at this as a separate song and not a cover of a classic, they'll find a great MCR song.
Why, Daniel... you so posted that after I brought it up in my last gee-mail I like the song. Don't love it, just like it - it'll probably grow on me later, though, as My Chem have the habit of doing. Will, it's I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love.

I used to like MCR when i was in grade 4. Then one day i started finding them incredibly annoying. Still do.
