The first two tracks of the ditched album that got replaced by 2010's
Danger Days finds the band rekindling the raw fire that fueled their breakout album,
Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge. Both are tightly-constructed rock/pop cuts that show off the harsh side of the band. On the other hand, I can completely understand why they abandoned the safe zone of this session for a new direction. Neither come close to the glory of the
The Black Parade but offer interesting insight into a lost road.
The dangerous energy of
Three Cheers feels glossed over and over-produced here. The true highlight of the set is the last half of "Boy Division" which mimics the call and response that eventually got carried over to
Danger Days. Both are enjoyably empty listens but new nonetheless. The first entry in what will surely be a set of interesting b-sides purposed to tide over fans while the band plots their next project.
