Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys is the album My Chemical Romance have been building towards their entire, nearly decade long, career.

From soaring sentiment to bare-knuckled brawling in the streets, it defies lazy labels and demolishes expectations. Beholden to no scene, credo or code, it's a rock'n'roll album from the future aimed directly at the dead-hearted present.

'This is the best rock record of the year by such a margin that you actually feel rather embarrassed for everybody else. This isn't over-excitement. In 2010's final act, consider rock'n'roll saved.' - NME
