Stagg reviewer has My Chemical Romance in her sights
The Record-sponsored high school journalism contest - in its fifth year - is open to students across San Joaquin County. This is the winning entry for reviews.
More than just a summary, good criticism should offer a careful blend of analysis and opinion that ultimately helps readers decide how to spend their time. In undertaking her review of a new My Chemical Romance album, first-place winner Mikeala Axton of Stagg High School found herself struggling with how to deliver a fair critique within the context of her "deep-rooted love for the band." We thought she was successful. "You're a fan, you like the music, but you're able to articulate your reasons ... in a compelling way," one judge wrote. "It makes it useful to a reader interested in giving the new work a listen." Find the second-place winning entry by Marlena Sauceda (Tokay High School) at recordnet.com. No third-place award was given.
Judge's note: "I like the style of your writing. I had fun reading this."

Back with a bangIf, four years ago, you looked at My Chemical Romance and thought to yourself, "Hmmm, one day they'll misplace their eyeliner and write an album full of upbeat songs and bright colors," you would have been crazy. You also would have been right.
MCR has plunged into its fourth studio album - twice, in fact, considering the band wrote, recorded and trashed an entire album before releasing "Danger Days: The True Lives of The Fabulous Killjoys."
The album contains a loose storyline, set in California 2019, in the wake of an environmental disaster. The world has been taken over by a brainwashing behemoth known as Better Living Industries, or BL/ind. The band is cast as a color-clad, raygun-wielding rebel force against BL/ind agents.
If this is starting to sound like the familiar, storytelling My Chem album, worry no more. Gone are the days it took a shovel to dig through the band's sweeping metaphors and imagery (however enjoyable the process).
The listener is guided through the album by pirate radio disc jockey Dr. Death-Defying, who opens the blazing first track, "Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na)." This first single sets the tone for the rest of the album, reeking of high speeds, fast times and an element of fun rarely heard from MCR.
Aural Vampire Lyrics - News
"Danger Days" is a rebellion, a fun loud rebellion, armed with pounding drums, savage guitar anthems and Way's aural assault on all the misfortunes and criticisms stacked against them, and a sure sign of the good times to come.
They broke the silence with some spectacular live shows in Europe and America that included concrete mixers, explosives, live welding and then live sheep to calm the audience after the aural assault. They released Rien a live album and the soundtrack
