10 Reasons Why My Chemical Romance Desperately Need To Reform

6. They Had Practically Finished Their New Album

No, I'm not talking about the completed-then-scrapped Conventional Weapons, released as a series of singles over several months. I'm talking about MCR 5, the now-mythical record that was bigged up for months before the band's breakup. Having started work on the record the year prior, Gerard was quoted as calling it "extremely dark" and he even released its tentative title, The Paper Kingdom. Not only that, the band had even started working with a new drummer, Jarrod Alexander, and there were reports that the recording sessions were going extremely well. So what happened? Where is all of that recorded material? If the band got back together, they'd probably finish and release it. At the very least they'd work with the scraps and incorporate them into new material. But with the band currently defunct, so too are fan's chances of hearing this lost potential masterpiece.
