Details For My Chemical Romance's 'The Black Parade' Reissue Released, Fans Notably Annoyed

Earlier today, My Chemical Romance, or rather their old label and management, only furthered to annoy the band's die-hard fanbase holding out for a full reunion.

How? By releasing the track listing and details for the tenth-anniversary edition of the 'The Black Parade' - fully titled as 'The Black Parade/Living With Ghosts' - and man, it really isn't that great all things considered.

Apart from a very rough demo of 'The Five Of Us Are Dying' (which would eventually develop into 'Welcome To The Black Parade') and the fan-favourite B-side of 'Kill All Your Friends', we have not one, but two new versions of 'House Of Wolves', a live demo version of both 'Mama' and 'Disenchanted', and a couple other random demos that'll probably be forgotten about in no time flat. And that's really it.

Hurray...?

On the band's website (where you also can pre-order the album) it states that this re-issue features "The full-length album of The Black Parade plus 11 never before heard demos, rarities, and songs from The Black Parade recording sessions." Well, some of these are most likely unheard tracks outside of the bands/label's inner circle, but with other tracks, like say 'Kill All Your Friends', a lil' bit of Internet digging will reveal these "rare" and "unheard"of  tunes. Hell, while it's been floating around online for years now, a studio version of the colloquially known 'Stay' wouldn't have gone amiss here.

One must ask themselves, 'Is this re-issue even worth it?' Well, for newer, younger fans who missed out on the initial MCR fandom, yeah, maybe it is. But for all of the countless long time, die had fans - which I myself am - it's going to be a resounding 'Fuck no'. Why? Because this September, we'll be given a bunch of demos and rarities that we probably won't see live anyway, and many of us will be royally pissed off that this wasn't the reunion tour we'd so desperately hoped for.

But despite all of this, I'll still probably buy this shit just so I can have bitchin' flag that comes with the release because I am MCR trash. Anywho, alongside the original 14-track album, the full track listing for these "new songs" is below:
