So I was listening to the Watchmen soundtrack, totally enjoying tracks like “The Times They Are A-Changin’” by Bob Dylan, “All Along The Watchtower” by Jimi Hendrix, and “I’m Your Boogie Man” by K.C. And The Sunshine Band. And then I heard My Chemical Romance’s version of “Desolation Row” and I was like “What the eff is this shit?”

I know it’s a way for the soundtrack to somehow connect with the kids, but I wish they used another band to cover the song or they could’ve just used the original. Heck, it would’ve been awesome if they remastered or remixed the Grateful Dead version. Like all Bob Dylan songs, the beauty of “Desolation Row” lies in the lyrics. You can’t really appreciate the song if you can’t understand the lyrics, can you? And let’s face it, all you can hear in MCR’s cover is SHOUTING. Lots and lots of shouting. Am I right, Statler and Waldorf?
