10 Perfect Rock Music Albums Of The 2010s

10. Danger Days - My Chemical Romance

My Chemical Romance were almost set up for failure by the time they got to making Danger Days. Since their last album The Black Parade shifted their entire sound and made them one of the kings of the rock world, not many other acts can measure up to something like that. Even when left to their own devices though, this is still one of the best send offs we could have hoped for from the kings of the emo movement.

Being another concept like The Black Parade, Gerard Way has taken the story line in a different direction on this outing, feeling a lot closer to something like Mad Max in its presentation. There's a lot more sonic avenues that the guys explore on this album, incorporating different elements of dance music on Planetary (GO!) and bringing in keyboards like Bulletproof Heart.

That doesn't mean that the aggro version of MCR is missing either, making one of their most caustic rockers like Party Poison and eventually closing things out with one of their most sarcastic songs Vampire Money. And after this, that was all they wanted to say, breaking up after touring commitments wrapped up and going their separate ways. When you look back on everything though, MCR really deserved to go out on their own terms like this.
