I think this band's actually gotten better since The Black Parade. I never got too into Bullets or Three Cheers, but The Black Parade is one of my favorite albums of all time - the concept part of it is really great, and it was just done very well. And this is also going to be a concept album, I believe? If they do it half as well as they did it on that album, this should be a great work.
I like this song a lot, particularly the synth bit at the beginning. It's really very sweet and honest feeling. Rather not think too hard on meaning since I've only listened to it a few times...
And I agree with Adalia - Na Na Na and Only Hope are really very different. And both are completely different from anything else this band's done before. I love how they actually attempt to make progress musically; something you don't hear from a lot of bands as mainstream as MCR. Prog rock in pop culture is essentially dead, but this band certainly makes the attempt without ever crossing into an area where they'd lose their audience. Damn good band, really.
