My Chemical Romance have revealed about crafting new songs for their upcoming fourth studio album. In finishing the record, this band team up with producer Brendan O'Brien, the same man who helped Bruce Springsteen and Pearl Jam working on their albums.
"We're so happy working with Brendan O'Brien," frontman Gerard Way told MTV. "We love him, we're having the best time of our lives. It's a total blast. I feel like it's getting close to being finished. We're doing tracking now. There's no title yet. It's crazy - this is the first time we're waiting to get really far into the project before [choosing a title]. I'm actually kind of excited about that. It's kind of 'anything goes' at this point, but I'm so happy with the songs."
On what to expect from the not yet titled effort, Gerard said, "It's definitely more aggressive, but to me it feels like a celebration of rock and roll. It feels like a true love letter to rock and roll. There's something about being an American rock-and-roll band that we've kind of grown into and we're very proud of. And I think that's what we're celebrating with this record. There's no agenda, there's no mission; it's just about rock and roll."
Still in the same interview with MTV, Gerard also opened up about songwriting sessions for this album. He shared, "It's actually kind of liberating. I'm writing lyrics simply about what the song's telling me, instead of trying to shoehorn something into a story line. I'd say they all have their own little stories. Some of them are direct, real life things that happened to us or me. Some of them are fiction, [because] I didn't want to lose that side."
"One of the things I really liked about 'Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge' is that we took people on a journey with each video and each single, even though it was a concept record. 'The Black Parade' didn't do that. It stuck all the way through to this rigid vision up until the end, but this time I'm really excited about giving someone something new every time."
One of the new songs which is likely to be featured in their upcoming album has been performed during a gig at The Roxy in Los Angeles. The new track is called "Death Before Disco".

i really don't care about the small things. i think it's about time MCR is coming out with a new album...you can only listen to the other albums so many times before it starts to get old..
Somebody tell people like "rough" to get a life and stop posting comments on articles about bands they don't like. Emo is dead, but MCR isn't emo.
somebody tells Gerard Way (an infinite less talented clone of Billy Corgan) that emo is dead. You're not rock'roll, buddy. You're trashy emo. And emo is for retarded losers.
