Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys (often referred to as simply Danger Days) is the fourth studio album by American rock band My Chemical Romance released on November 22, 2010, by Reprise Records, its songs are associated with the band's well known sound of alternative rock, pop punk, and punk rock as well as new elements, including power pop, pop rock, and electronic rock. The inspiration for the album comes from contemporary rock, psychedelic rock, and protopunk bands of the sixties and seventies. In addition, the group has stated that there is a strong influence of cinema on the record. Like its predecessor, The Black Parade (2006), it was produced by Rob Cavallo. At the time, it was the band's final studio album before their hiatus from 2013 to 2019. The album's recording process took over a year, in which the band recorded more than thirty-six songs, most of which were discarded. The album's storyline follows a city in post-apocalyptic California in 2019, where a few outsiders called Killjoys fight against an evil corporation. In 2013, frontman Gerard Way published a comic that continues the story described in the album. more »
