Leak Of The <s>Week</s> Day: My Chemical Romance’s ‘Mama’ Issues

mcr_1017.jpgWe’ve been scouring the Web for leaks from The Black Parade, the My Chemical Romance album that comes out on Tuesday, and we’ve finally–finally!–found a crack in Warner Brothers’ watermarked wall. “Mama” is an over-the-top, vitriolic rager that’s part Arcade Fire stomp, part musical-theatre monologue–and at the end, it veers into a pool of guitar sludge that’s only tempered by the presence of one Liza Minnelli.

I listen to My Chemical Romance. I like the angst and driving guitars ... At the same time, I know my boys have rap on their MP3 players that I think is terrible. It doesn’t make them gangsters. And,yeah, I put it there at their request.

    Theoretically I should like all this and yet Gerard is *such* an empty-skulled doof. I understand now at last the feeling of those people who said “Oh I like the Smashing Pumpkins all right but I can’t get past the singer…” I wanted goth that grew up with Nightmare Before Christmas to do better.

    is this a Gogol Bordello cover?

    Is this a Genesis cover?

    Shocking resemblance, really. Genesis: “Mama”

    The way he said ‘letter’ in the first verse (mama, I’m writing you this lettAH’ made me want to bash my screen with my keyboard.

    listen to how he says ‘letter’ in the first verse. he goes ‘mama, I’m writing you this lettah’. then stab yourself in the eye with a pen.

    oops sorry guys.

    I was actually really hoping this was a cover at first. That way, my iffy proposition that Phil Collins is a bigger influence on the kids these days than Lou Reed would get just that much more juice.

    Hugh Padham, anyway. Lionize Hannett and ignore Padham? Criminal.

    Brian, you’re already QED on that – I’ve got the Postal Service, Eminem and five seasons’ worth of American Idol contestants to back you up.

    You taunt, you tease me, mama…

    I’m not okay…after hearing that .

    Really, if I want to listen to aggressively petulant Goth music, I’ll just dig up my old Type O Negative CDs.

    How wonderfully appropriate that THIS is the song with Liza’s cameo!

    God, it’s ridiculously bad. Which is to say, I totes love it.

  13. AcilletaM  |   Posted on Oct 18th, 2006

    Is this a cover? The words sound a lot like a Johnny Cash song.

    And my girlfriend does not appreciate it when I play Type O Negative’s My Girlfriend’s Girlfriend at all.

    scissor sisters “take your mama” > genesis “mama” > MCR “mama”

  15. the rich girls are weeping  |   Posted on Oct 19th, 2006

    How could you leave the Spice Girls’ “Mama” out of that equation? For shame!
