Life on the Murder Scene
For My Chemical Romance's ever-expanding list of fanatics, this double-disc set is better than an XBox 360, MySpace.com, and free internet combined. In terms of content, it handily laps the New Jersey screamo band's only major label release, 2004'sThree Cheers For Sweet Revenge. My Chemical Romance spreads its blood-soaked anguish and angst over a live album and DVD package that's spilling over with four-hours worth of rarities, demos, and live appearances. All told, it's the perfect excuse to revisit the band's perfect union of frightening metal riffs and knockout pop melodies.--Aidin Vaziri
