My Chemical Romance look to avoid concept record next time around

My Chemical Romance‘s Gerard Way seemed to recently promise that the band’s next album will not be conceptual.


"I want to go into it not thinking about a definite story," he explained. "I said that [while working on The Black Parade], but I still think I had something to work out. I think I had to get it out of my system, as far as writing concept records. I had to at least do one more before I stopped doing them. Obviously, they’ll always be cohesive though. The songs need to fit together; that’s what makes a great album."


The band recently tracked a cover of Bob Dylan’s "Desolation Row" for next year’s "Watchmen" adaptation, and shot a video for it as well.


The Black Parade came out in 2006.
