  1. 8.2 |   Beats Per Minute

    Proves My Chemical Romance don’t need to be eccentric or theatrical to put out an enjoyable record
    Read Review

  2. 8.0 |   Rave Magazine

    Danger Days is cheesy and overblown as hell, but it’s so much fun that it’s easiest just to go with it
    Read Review

  3. 8.0 |   BBC

    This is a band that never rests on its laurels, a band that embraces new ideas but also knows how to write killer choruses. The worry was that this record would turn out dull; the reality blows that concern out of the water

  4. 8.0 |   NME

    Never mind that punk bollocks, here are MCR the pop group. And they're amazing
    Read Review

  5. 8.0 |   The Guardian

    The album should delight their fanbase while appealing to people who previously wouldn't be seen dead listening to MCR
    Read Review

  6. 8.0 |   The Fly

    My Chemical Romance’s fourth effort comes as a much needed kick up the jacksy of a genre that’s lost its way of late. Perfect timing, magnificently played
    Read Review

  7. 8.0 |   Consequence Of Sound

    Emo punk for grown-ups, something you won’t be embarrassed to be caught listening to on the train
    Read Review

  8. 8.0 |   FasterLouder

    My Chemical Romance are very much back on top of the pile
    Read Review

  9. 8.0 |   FasterLouder

    MCR have concocted big guitars, bigger beats and possibly their biggest choruses yet; resulting in an extravagant, devilishly fun adrenalin rush of a rock record
    Read Review

  10. 8.0 |   DIY

    'Danger Days' is a band embracing what they are: the loudest, brightest, most exciting gang from their block
    Read Review

  11. 8.0 |   The Digital Fix

    If it’s subtlety, depth and meaning that you’re searching for in a rock album, then Danger Days is definitely not going to be for you
    Read Review

  12. 7.0 |   No Ripcord

    MCR proves with Danger Days that the days of their self-involved, namby-pampy crybaby act are a thing (mostly) of the past
    Read Review

  13. 7.0 |   Rolling Stone

    Danger Days offers a total rejection of bloated celebrity rock
    Read Review

  14. 7.0 |   Independent on Sunday

    This record constitutes nothing less than an audacious play for mega-band status
    Read Review

  15. 6.0 |   Evening Standard

    There is nothing here that will startle the rocking horses, just a bunch of snappy tunes that don't outstay their welcome
    Read Review

  16. 6.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    It ambles, it slouches; it says little of consequence
    Read Review

  17. 6.0 |   The Observer

    Radio-friendly rock that's never far from the chorus
    Read Review

  18. 6.0 |   Q

    Their shift from, existential gloom-merchants to perverse party people could allow their audience to grow up alongside them. Print edition only

  19. 6.0 |   Mojo

    You'll either be thrilled by the ride or running in the opposite direction. Print edition only

  20. 6.0 |   Eye Weekly

    MCR did stadium angst better than anyone; by going out on a happy note, they’ve done us all a grave disservice
    Read Review

  21. 5.0 |   PopMatters

    Though, Danger Days is a far cry from the artistic plane that The Black Parade sits on: it’s a decent pop-rock album
    Read Review

  22. 4.0 |   The Independent

    Delivered in a series of shrilly efficient rockers that blend Queen bombast with Green Day bubblegum-punk
    Read Review

  23. 4.0 |   The Irish Times

    As polished as these songs are, they’re often too stylised to be emotionally engaging
    Read Review

  24. 4.0 |   State

    In contrast to the warped imagination that brought us the archetypal futuristic concept record of recent years – Deltron 3030 – the faces behind Danger Days come across as just a little bit mad and more than a bit out of touch
    Read Review

  25. 1.7 |   A.V. Club

    Pretentious yet lunkheaded, the disc’s only charm is its slick, fist-pumping arrogance
