Who's the Better Tease?
Because right now, it seems almost as if Panic! At The Disco and My Chemical Romance are having a competition of sorts on who can better tease their fans with "new album" info.
Panic! At The Disco
Although TYV had already come out with an album and begun touring, P!ATD had not had any new info on a new album besides a few offhand references in interviews, New Perspective, and that old demo of Oh Glory!, until recently. First came these five Tweets from Spencer (two of which were reTweeted by Brendon), discussing (in order) Brendon's songwriting, the finishing of drum tracking, the finishing of guitar and bass tracking, the near-finishing of vocal tracking and keyboard/orchestration, and the finishing of percussion (which came with an attached photo). A day after the last Tweet, Pete Wentz granted us another tidbit in the form of a Tweet about his personal side project, Bl4ck C4rds, and mentioning how he had "17 new panic songs 2 listen 2 &work out now".
My Chemical Romance
After repeated mentions of being "nearly finished" with the new album for the past few months years, MCR decided to start posting cryptic messages on the new record's state. First was Ray, with his Tweet of "the final countdown", which was then reTweeted by Frank, along with a dramatic soundtrack. Next, Ray posted this image, which appears to be an image of the ProTools application "bouncing to disk", or mastering the final versions of music recordings. In other words, the program being used to finish producing their album. ETA: Also, Warner Music Tweeted to "keep a lookout" for a fall album.
So, who do you think will release first? Tour first? First single (besides New Perspective)? And above all... which band is the bigger cocktease?
