My Chemical Romance, Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys (November)
Auditing the sound: Frontman Gerard Way and company had finished a raw rock album last year, then chucked it and started over after getting signals from a fresh muse. While not a concept album like 2006's The Black Parade, Danger Days represents a transmission blasted from the future, according to the band. Planetary (GO!) and Na Na Na are among the confirmed tracks produced by Rob Cavallo and recorded in Calabasas, Calif. No other specifics have been leaked, and the band's blog advises fans to "look alive, keep your ears to the ground and your eyes bloodshot and open … there are signs everywhere."
Eyeing the sales: The Black Parade was the band's biggest artistic and commercial success, selling 1.5 million copies (for a career total of 3.7 million albums) while impressing critics with its daring and ambitious strokes. Blender dubbed it "the Sgt. Pepper of screamo." My Chemical Romance's profile grew substantially with Parade, and the follow-up's scrapped first draft and tight lid on details have fans salivating.
