I've never listened to MCR before, but I iTuned it last night and listened to it on the train this morning. My morning commute was really brightened by cheerful music about death and what-not. (No, really.)
What do their other albums sound like?
You were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words 'let that be a lesson' are a tad redundant at this juncture.

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

That's kind of their sound. It's at its best on this album, I think, but if you liked this one, check out their other stuff.

Crap. I'm gonna need an 80 Gig iPod pretty soon. And my Mac Mini (where all my music resides) is running out of space too.

What do their other albums sound like?
The independent radio station I listened to when I lived in VT used to play stuff from their last album all the time and it never really grabbed me. I don't know why. But I really like this one, so I may have to go back and re-listen.
I've had "Welcome to the Black Parade" in my head for days now. In a good way.

What do their other albums sound like?
Both of their previous albums are a little punkier sounding, a little rougher. The songs are still very catchy, and with a fun sense of drama to the lyrics, but nowhere near as cohesive as The Black Parade.

I think I got this link from Slate, not anyone here. Anyway, here's a fascinating article on the iPod shuffle mode.

Ha! I often notice that my iPod seems to favour certain bands. One day, out of a dozen songs, it played 6 songs by a band of friends of mine. I was waiting to run into one of them for the rest of the day.
It rarely plays songs by the same artist in a row, but it will often play them one song apart.

I often get concurrent songs that seem non-random, such as when, on my drive from AL to TX Monday, I heard Camper Van Beethoven's "Interstellar Overdrive," followed by Syd Barrett's "Baby Lemonade," followed by The Television Personalities' "I Know Where Syd Barrett Lives".

Once I went to the student union with a friend to celebrate her 22nd birthday. Just as we were walking in, the jukebox had Dylan singing, "On your 22nd birtday...."

Heh, Numb3rs just did this on an episode. But this morning, I got 4 tracks by Zero 7 one after another. It totally suited my mood, but I'm always curious how that happens.
