My Chemical Romance will release one of the year's most anticipated records on November 22, and SPIN.com has an exclusive 15-second snippet of the new song "Planetary (GO!)," which finds the band experimenting with a pop-funk direction. Check it out below.

In addition to featuring the song on their new album, My Chem have teamed up with Sony to feature the track in the forthcoming video game Gran Turismo 5 for PS3, due out later this year. But it's not like My Chem licensed the song just for a check — turns out they're big fans of the game. "I remember playing it and loving it years ago," says guitarist Ray Toro. "And I think you hear that song and it just makes you want to drive faster. There's so much energy on the track."

As for Toro's driving skills in real life, he says he's a bit of a scatterbrain behind the wheel: "I'm constantly doing other things while I'm driving. Frank [Iero, My Chem guitarist] makes fun of me cus I'll be like mixing demos on my computer while driving. I hate wasting time. But I've only been in one major accident — I don't know if that's a good or bad thing."

The fan tour reports from MCR's second stop on the "World Contamination Tour" are in from Manchester, UK. Fan tour reporters Emma B. and Josh T., were on the scene. Read their reports below:

"There are no words to describe just how amazing the night was, Ray, Frank, Mikey and Gerard were like Super Heroes and I have woken up this morning aching all over and with a sore throat and a croaky voice and I cannot wait to do it all over again, it really was one of the best nights of my life and I'm positive I'm not the only person saying that today." - Emma B.

"MCR stormed through songs from all of their albums including the yet to be released Danger Days. Anthem after anthem was played to a crowd who were not only happy, but relieved to see their heroes play on an English stage again." - Josh T.
