My Chemical Romance have begun work on their follow-up to 2006’s Welcome to the Black Parade. According to bassist Mikey Way, the album’s sound is constantly changing: “So if, say, we wrote some songs that sound like Rick Springfield, a week later they’ve all turned into Children of Bodom songs,” Way said. As opposed to the band’s last three albums, the new disc likely won’t have a central concept.
