My Chemical Romance's Frank Iero: 'New album will have a vision'

My Chemical Romance guitarist Frank Iero has revealed that the band's next album will have a "vision".
Iero explained that the group will soon record the follow-up to 2010's Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys, and that it won't "just be a collection of songs".
He told Noise11: "It can't just be a collection of songs. It's never going to be 'Oh, we had these 12 songs so record it real quick and we'll put them out!'
"I don't think anyone can really do that these days without some sort of thought or vision behind it. I think the days of just filling the time and putting a disc out is over, and I'm glad, because those are some of my least favourite records."
He added that the band are currently building their own studio in Los Angeles to ease the recording process and take their time over their next effort.
"That's the tough thing doing records in a cycle and you have three or four months where you have to write and record a record and sometimes that's tough," he said.
"You can take longer, but you always feel like there's something over your head like a time constraint, and now we'll have our own place where we can go and make music 24 hours a day."
Frank Iero had previously said that their fifth studio LP is likely to be released in summer 2012.
