This review is from: Desolation Row (MP3 Download)

My Chemical Romance. You either love them or you hate them. Yes, they're corporate shills now, but they're such GOOD corporate shills! I know that they use a lot of music & image cliches, but I can't help but listen to their albums again & again.

For this song MCR has tried to update the classic Bob Dylan song "Desolation Row" by setting it to a punky beat. While they succeed at making it catchy & listenable, they lose the soul of the song in the process. Still, it's a fun listen & a decent version of the original song. I don't know how well it will fit in with the movie (it almost but doesn't quite fit in with the feel of the comic), but it sure is fun to listen to. Fans of MCR will love it, but fans of Bob Dylan may prefer the original.
