unfortunately, thats probably the best song on the album. ok, maybe doomsday clock is better. not much, but slightly.

That's The Way My Love Is is the best track on there.

You haven't heard the parody Hey There Vagina.

i didnt care for the song when i first heard it, but now i love it but they do play it too much on the radio. it's been out for a long time too, but it seems people are just now catching on to it.

You honestly discredit yourself more and more with each and every post.

Amen.

I wasn't going to start a new thread on it, but I also honestly LOVE the new My Chemical Romance single, "Teenagers." That's a great song, too. It's got that Cheap Trick/Rocky Horror/Meatloaf/Alice Cooper vibe to it.

Come on, drop your hipster pose. Someone's also got to admit that that one's really short, funny and ebola-like contagious.

It's OK, but I liked "The Black Parade" more.

My Chemical Romance? I've never heard of them… are they a Pixies cover band or something?

No. More like a HORRIBLE version of Queen. But emo. Bleeeech . . .

Brian Walalce seemed like a bitter, cynical, irrational dude . . . but Brian Wallace is a caring, sensitive soul. Its like Dr. Walalce and Mr. Wallace, or vice versa.

I am not a hipster, but even I think that song is not very good. The difference between that song and the influences you lsited is that most of those influences can sing. I've grown tired of Gerard Way's screaming into the mic.

i used to like this song till i read a story about it in the paper and saw a picture of Delilah and found her rather unattractive. now the song makes no sense to me.

btw, i hate all of you for putting this wretched song in my head. can't get rid of it. "ooooh, what you do to meeeeee…"

ugh. not a horrible song, just annoying after the second listen. i'm sure the teenage gilrs eat it up, tho.

This is an important thread: I was driving a car that had nothing but radio last month, flipping the channels like mad, trying to find something that was at least interesting. "Hey There" came on, and I was caught, not exactly captured, but close: fascinated by the lineage of the song. It sounded, to me, like a Paul Simon re-write, but, importantly, filtered through the generation that identified with the garbage bag/rain scene in "Garden State." A sensitive, just-moved-to-New-York-to-make-it-song. A re-write of "America." An American song, then. A song of longing. A song of hope, a song of America before it broke. But it might not be more than a song that got me through a long traffic light. In any case, this song signaled to me that there will be (at least) a brief era in which the fragmentation/niche life of ipod/xm/self-programmed music will give way to a few mass-identified radio hits. Is it beginning? Don't ask me, I've been playing the first Suicide album alot lately…

STOP BEING A GRINCH!

I remember PWT opening for Lucky Boys Confusion back in 2001 at the Metro, why the hell are they on MTV?
