this is BULL-SHIT!
i mean, come on! they break our tiny little black hearts into itsy bitsy pieces and then they plan to release a "greatest hits" album two days after the anniversary of their death?!
come fucking on! this is playing with our feelings, and they sign off as themselves? what were they thinking?! yes, of course some fans are gonna be pleased and already pre-ordered this little shit, and to be completely honest, i may buy it myself later on... MAYBE. but that doesn't mean i'm hecka angry about all this.
i feel so fucking used.
on the other hand, Fall Out Boy released a greatest hits album right after they "took some time off" and four years later they came up with (in my opinion) they're best work yet. so, fingers crossed. but i'm still really mad about this. and i find it weird that niether of them talked about it through their personal twitter accounts -scrach that! i'm talking about it later on. this whole business is fishy; it's not from them, it's not Gee's, Mikey's, Ray's or Frankie's idea.
also: this tracklist is more bullshit than anything:
Album Tracklisting
Fake Your Death (unreleased song)
Honey, This Mirror Isn't Big Enough For The Two Of Us
Vampires Will Never Hurt You

“Fake Your Death”
Somewhere in the liner notes for “May Death Never Stop You”, there are written statements about each song on the collection. These statements were contributed by the members of the band and reflect their personal thoughts on the songs (dispersed to members at random). There is however, one song that bears no statement.
I consider “Fake Your Death” to be the “last MCR song”, and to me, it is absolutely the final fully realized collaboration between the members of the band. Oddly, or fittingly, it was written while the Los Angeles Kings beat the New Jersey Devils and won the Stanley Cup, though this did not inform or inspire the song as I was unaware (along with James and Doug) that this was happening and have only a small interest in sports. After the game, the rest of the band had arrived at the studio where we added elements to its existing structure, fleshing it out some more, and it started to form.
What was not so obvious at the time was that the song was, and would serve as, a eulogy for the band, though I should have known it from the lyrics. I think internally I did, as I felt an odd sense of sadness and loss after hearing back the words on top of the music. I also felt a strange sense of pride in how honest it was, and could not remember a band recording a song of this nature, being so self-aware. Ending felt like something honest, and honest always feels like something new.
So it will exist, and it is no cowardly act to release something of this nature, but a service to those who believed in a band that did not compromise, and a wave goodbye to all. And yes, it is fucking heartbreaking.
And while I don’t believe the lyrics of the chorus today- I did at the time, which to me is a core ingredient to the music of MCR. And it is through that belief, and yours, that we were able to achieve many beautiful things.

SERIOUSLY?! i'm so fucking pissed off! ¬¬
this is a corporative descision... i can smell it. the label is trying to dry up the fans as long as they're still caught up with the band.
i hate it all.
