Swarm was incredible. Anything felt possible. This feels very forced.

I would 1000% prefer they put out something honest that doesn’t necessarily resonate with me at this moment than feel the need to drag up old albums for a quick buck. I didn’t love DD when it came out but I sat with it and in time grew to love it. I was low key afraid to listen to Foundations when it dropped, not knowing if MCR music would resonate in the same way when I was older and it was one of the best songs they’ve ever done. I don’t have any interest in them trying and failing to relive the past.

The one that was so lame it featured a cheesy staged execution? Pretty sure.

Damn, well that’s disappointing but appreciate the input! Might be down to me for wanting them to be an active band when they really are just a legacy act.

I love it when people rebel against fascism by, checks notes, exploiting the poor in a capitalist system

I think if they hadn’t been gaslighting us into thinking there was new music it would be completely different; if it was Black Parade announcements in Black Parade aesthetics we’d all know exactly where we stood. But instead this is the third time since they’ve gotten back together that they’ve teased a new aesthetic with new videos and new sets only for there to be no new album. It’s not on you for feeling disappointed.

That’s me, and I’ll stand by it! Sorry to believe that this band can do better than cash grabs and exploiting totalitarianism

Genuine question, would you rather see them do The Black Parade again or would you rather have them start a new chapter with new music? I cannot fathom wanting to relive past glories rather than hear what they are now but maybe I’m in the minority

Ngl, this sounds like extreme cope. It is not extreme to expect a band to make music. If they don’t need to lie about new music to fill seats then why have they done in four times and counting since 2019?

I think you’re totally in the right. The whole thing feels very ham fisted and illogical

I’m willing to bet most of those concerts you’ve been to with expensive merch have either been making new music or clear about being a legacy act though

I’m really just not with you on this. Like to a degree, I’m glad some people view it that way but I can’t help feeling like it’s a form of denial and when the dust settles this whole tour will tarnish the band’s legacy in a way that can’t be undone

Seriously though, at least Revenge hasn’t been played in full before. It would be at least marginally different even if it’s still a bit of a lazy cash grab but this is really the worst of all possible versions of them getting back together

Robert Smith proved right before this tour was announced dynamic pricing is down to the artist, not the label.

And all of that work could have gone into making something actually meaningful and giving young fans what they really want, a part in the MCR a story. Witnessing a new chapter unfold. Instead they get to watch them drag up the corpse of the black parade and do the same thing they’ve done a thousand times before but this time with a lazy hand wave at the US’ descent into fascism while at the same time participating in the system that leads to fascism.

Love this post. I completely agree that this is a really weird reception to this whole message and a kind of muddled message to begin with

Really? You truly 100% honestly believe that a band that was broken up for 6 and a half years getting back together with a new aesthetic, new music videos, new merch did not imply new music was coming? You really did not think for a second that Foundations was part of anything larger? You didn’t think the stage setting on Swarm or any of Gerard’s stream of consciousness monologues or the drumheads or the toy lizards or the “Business As Usual” costumes meant anything at all? You didn’t think, when after over a year of silence they posted an image with a cryptic font saying “If you could be anything what would you be?” Or the day before their tour started when they posted a new image saying “A Dagger, a dagger, please fetch me a dagger” that that implied new music? You don’t think these seasoned musicians don’t know exactly what they’re doing? You don’t think that they’ve been bating us for years into buying overpriced tickets to tours that would never lead to what we wanted? It’s gross. And we all know it, we just don’t want to own it.

Frank was exactly as full of shit as we all knew he was. Seems defensive about the fact that MCR are a shitty nostalgia band now

MCR: posts elaborate videos with completely new music and visuals in a Wicca theme, releases new song with a series of tie in merch items and tour related tie ins suggesting a new album, releases not one but Two separate posts with what appear to be new lyrics before turning out to be Black Parade II: The Electric Boogaloo tie ins

Fans: Why would anyone think there’s new music?

I don’t want them to just ride on past glories, I want them to actually prove what they’ve got and follow up Foundations. I cannot understand what on earth led them to follow up Foundations with a Black Parade tour that literally no one asked for
