Desolation Row

This single represents a violent collision between the literate, sprawling folk-rock of the 1960s and the hyper-charged, theatrical punk of the late 2000s. By stripping away the eleven-minute acoustic runtime of the original and replacing it with a three-minute barrage of power chords, My Chemical Romance manages to preserve the cynical, apocalyptic heart of the lyrics while injecting them with a modern sense of urgency. It sounds like a city on the brink of collapse, perfectly capturing the gritty, alternate-history aesthetic of the film it was commissioned for.
