Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys

the take

Danger Days is a masterpiece and I refuse to hear any criticism on the subject. It’s storytelling is totally unique, and also totally immersive, leading the listener through the environment rather than the individual plight of the characters, while also defining specific character beats for each of them to follow. Speaking of, the Killjoys are perfect. I don’t care, they are perfect. Their names, concepts, and designs are all phenomenal, and they are so incredibly compelling. I love every second that we get with them, and the gut punch that happens when you know that time has come to an end (Kids from Yesterday, you beautiful gem of a song). And Vampire Money??? I am all for hating on Stephanie Meyer (it’s okay Twilight I still love you your mother is just not a vibe). Anyways, amazing album, I adore I adore.
