¡Uno! ¡Dos! ¡Tré!," said Green Day's Mike Dirnt. "¡Quatro! brings our fans one step closer by giving them even more access and revealing what it was like for us to make these records."

Back in September, My Chemical Romance released a statement stating that:

"Beginning in October we will be releasing 2 songs a month for 5 months. 10 songs in total from the Conventional Weapons sessions we did back in 2009. We hope you enjoy these time capsules, and that they may shed a little more light on how and where Danger Days came from, and maybe even where the future of MCR might be heading. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times...and now it is finally time to lift the veil on Conventional Weapons."
