The Black Parade
About This Album
At the heart of My Chemical Romance lore is the story of lead singer/songwriter/mouthpiece Gerard Way, an animator who decided to abandon illustrations and do "something with his life" in the wake of 9/11. Needless to say, that "important" thing was My Chemical Romance, which quickly rose to prominence among the emo and neo-punk bands that cluttered the rock landscape of the 2000s thanks in large part to "I'm Not OK (I Promise)," a surging piece of emo pop with a hook as ridiculously catchy as its title was ridiculous. It deservedly became a hit on both sides of the Atlantic in 2005, dragging its accompanying album -- 2004's Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge, the group's second -- along for the ride, turning MCR into stars, at least in modern rock circles. But, anybody who didn't follow the fashions of emo and punk closely might have ignored the group's tragic, romantic neo-goth image and merely assumed that MCR was another good poppy punk one-hit wonder, not far removed from, say, Fall Out Boy. My Chemical Romance intended to dispel all such misconceptions with their third album, The Black Parade, an unabashed, old-fashioned concept album, complete with characters wandering through a vague narrative that concerns very big themes like death.

i absoFREAKINl u t l y love thi album but more importantly THIS BAND!!!!1
|
||
This was not their best album, but it is still very impressive.
But I think someone should have told Gerard that the new sound doesn't take advantage of how beautiful his voice is now that it has matured. |
||
that's pretty cool, Syrian Kanachi. I'm glad you gave MCR a chance and are enjoying them! ;D
|
||
My Chemical Romance is totally awesome, first of all, but how is Fall Out Boy a one-hit wonder? Wtf?
|
||
teenagers scare the living s**t out of me lol
that means i scare the living s**t out of myself!! |
||
Of all the talk surrounding this album, and this band, and their majorly negative reputation. They exceded all of that. I have to admit that a mere 3 months ago, I was one of those sterotypical MCR haters that you all know and love. People that hate something without giving it a chance. Until atleast, House of Wolves played on my punk rock station. Had I not been doing homework, I wouldn't have even given the song a chance. But I did, And have found that they are one damn amazing band.

i love this album...its amazing....
every single song has a story behind it... |
||
whenever I hear this album, I come up with a musical in my head to it. (maybe that's how Gerard wanted it - hee... musical lover XD) this was a great album for a kick butt band.
ps. emo is so overused these days to the level of abuse. it's not funny. this is just the age of abuse... |
||
I agree I am the antithesis of Emo: the style - but this album rocks. Its real rock as opposed to the s**t thats out these days them and Muse are my two current fav rock bands.
|
||
I agree viledragon (and many others); just because someone likes this band does not mean that they are emo. Is it wrong to love bands like Van Halen, Boston, and Zeppelin, while still absolutely adoring "Teenagers," "This is How I Disappear," and "Dead!"? I think not. MCR just has that magic flair that makes you fall in love with them... you can't quite place your finger on it, but it's there... and it ROCKS!
|
||
OMG Olivia, I luv Infinity on High too!!! (but I'm not an FOB fan)
|
||
one of the best.
too bad this album attracted the "real fans" who haven't heard of the band's better works: "Bullets" and "Revenge". |
||
omg best cd ever!!! i luv this song like all of there songs amazing
|
||
This is truly one of the best albums I have heard in my life... right up there with Sgt. Pepper, A Fever You Can't Sweat Out, Dark Side of the Moon, The Wall, Icky Thump, Infinity on High, and Hot Fuss. For people who say that their lyrics are satanic... obviously you don't get the message. Listen to the CD again if you still don't get it, but it's actually very inspiring and uplifting. You keep hearing about all of those people who say that this band saved their life, and I totally believe them
|
||
i love mcr and if ppl think im emo then who the f**k cares then if im emo im emo god dammit and ill be proud of it.
|
||
I PUT this cd and the others on my iPod. And no, for the last f***ing time, I'm not emo.
|
||
I seriously get very annoyed when someone calls MCR or me an emo, 'over obsessed', or anything else that makes fun of them. Yes, I may be really obsessed, but that's normal. No, I am not emo, I am a normal 7th grader who happens to like them. They are really cool, and I have never heard music like I hear theirs. I feel like their songs really have a meaning, not a song they just made up just because they were bored. Long live the Black Parade!
|
||
i luv this band they are great for when i feel bad they take my head to a different world so that im no longer stuck in this life that was planned to tortured my soul ROCK ON MCR!!!!!!!!! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
|
||
i luv these guys. all their albums are magical but this is friggin epic. btw Gerard Way is magically delicious!!
|
||
The band is just amazing. I highly recommend seeing them live. This album exemplifies everything that they do right. It's incredible.
|
||
