My Chemical Romance – The Only Hope For Me Is You

Just buy the damn album.

Tom: Just buy the damn “Danger Days” album.

Tim: Oh, is that your view? I wasn’t aware.

Tom: Look, we both have bands and artists we like. If Hera Bjork was bringing out singles, you’d be all over them. At least give me this one.

Tim: Fair point. Plug away, my friend, because you’re right, it is a good album.

Tom: And yes, I know I said “just buy the album” last time, but it’s the first album in a long time that I’ve found that I can just keep listening to – it’s one of those that will help me work. It reliably gives me about an hour of concentrated focus and flow. Then – finishing with the American national anthem and a track sort-of mocking ‘Twilight’ and the Sweet’s ‘Ballroom Blitz’ at the same time – it leaves me uplifted and enthused, with a load of work done and the time having passed easily.

Tom: This version suffers a bit from YouTube compression, but ignore it. In fact, the album’s a fiver. Just get it. Some day, these guys will put out a duff album: but this isn’t it.
