- 2002 was a time. This album may have been the quintessential soundtrack for people who swore that no one understood them, said repeatedly that “it wasn’t a phase”, or were just going through a lot at one time. Regardless of my opinion, there’s a reason this band took the world by storm.

you liked early sunsets i dont care about anything else
Hahaha! 😁🙌🏾 focusing on the positives!!
That is one of the only decent tracks here tbh.
Not true at all. Headfirst for halos is fantastic, Vampires and honey this mirror isnt big enough is are both bangers.
though this is my favourite MCR album im just biased
The only decent tracks to me are Early Sunsets, Romance (nice intro) and Demolition Lovers but even those tracks I wouldn't care if I never heard them again. And the rest of the album is just bad imo. If you like it, that's fine. Just my opinion.
I honestly think Early Sunsets is actually one of the weaker songs lol
i really love how openminded you are, you stay honest and didn’t like the album cause it’s not your thing but you didn’t bash the artist or the album. that’s great!!
I try to be as respectful as possible when going about these suggestions 😊 it's always going to be about the music on here. I never want to personally attack anyone, artist or viewer.
I don't blame you for not liking the production, everyone knows the production sucks lol. It was recorded in a recording studio of a friends mom's basement. Many of the songs were wrote hours before recording. Btw, skylines and turnistalls was wrote about Gerards experience witnessing 9/11 it was their very first song.
That's just icing on the cake for me, I'm glad it wasn't polished.
My favorite somgs from this album are “Early sunsets over monroeville”, “Our Lady Of Sorrows”, “Demolition Lovers”, and “Cubicles” this album is great though imo.
I’m glad you love it! Early Sunsets was phenomenal.
aha my favourites are exactly the same as yours, no more or less.
The ending when talking about this album helping others I can really relate. I'm glad I found it, just some months ago. Wasn't even born by 2002, but I still enjoy this album so much. It really makes me happy that you didnt flat out say that it sucks because so many people including me have used this as a coping mechanism. I respect you for that.😁
Thanks for watching!! I'm always going to go about these suggestions respectfully because they're albums/songs/etc. that you guys are, in a way, showing me. I may not love it like the rest of you, but that doesn't mean I have to trash it. I'm always going to be more of a open minded music lover than a TH-cam critic 😂😊
The Tune Up *cries internally because there aren't enough nice and respectful people like you left in the world*
We are a rare breed 😂😊
I just wanna leave a little defense that they basically wrote, produced and put out the album within a year of forming.
help help help, oh my lord god damn im excited, aHHHAH. edit: skyline and turnstiles was the first "actual" mcr song recorded, i believe!
Haha hope you enjoy 👍🏾👍🏾
yes my children
😂😂
Hi dad
This channel has become one of my favorite reaction/critique channels on TH-cam. I love that while you are critical of certain things, its always from a good place in your heart. I'll admit, I'm a huge MCR fan, and when I saw you were listening to this album, my first reaction was "Uh oh. I really dont think he's gonna like this one." It has taken me several listen throughs to get used to the raw sound of it. Sometimes I'm in the mood for it. Other times I just want the happy dance party sounds of Danger Days.
I know you're doing Conventional Weapons next. That is the album they scrapped that was recorded between Black Parade & Danger Days. Of the tracks on it, I think you'll enjoy The World is Ugly the most. Also, The Light Behind Your Eyes was written for his daughter(so I've been told), but it's a tear jerker even if you dont know that info.
I didn't mean to write a novel, but I hope you find some tracks on CW that you will go back to. If not, you gave it a fair shot and that's something not a lot of people will do.
Thank you so much!!! It truly means the world to see comments like this. My goal has always been to entertain and to keep it strictly about the music. I always keep in mind that these are viewer suggested videos so I make sure to be respectful with whatever I listen to. I may not love everything I get to, but I keep an open mind for everything 😊
In Vampires Will Never Hurt You, the only thing I've ever heard from the whispering is, "Like ghosts in the snow." The production of this album is terrible but the lyrical aspect is very nice. Then again I'm a sucker for good lyrics. For me, i like a few, i love a few, and i hate a few. Overall this is definitely not my favorite album, but its a hella good starting point for a band.
I always thought he said "Let Ghostins know"
Thanks for coming for my cubicle job
😂😂
early sunsets over monroeville is truly beautiful. its heavily slept on when it comes to bullets as an album. its so raw and emotional. It has a huge sense of pain to it.
Fun fact: Gerard got really emotional during the recording of that song to which the rest of the band had to have a "smoking break" because it was getting a bit emotional.
Another fact: Gerard had a rotten tooth and was struggling to do vocals around the time of recording early sunsets over monroeville. The producer of the album Geoff Rickley (lead singer of Thursday), knew of the pain and emotion Gerard was producing due to the rotten tooth and actually punched gerard to try and get emotion that you eventually hear in the final recording
I really love Gerard and his screaming you guys are tripping imo lol
Same.
I just had to catch my breath.
(I don’t think you’re going to like this one that much. I personally like it but I don’t feel like its going to be your cup of tea. Idk though still excited.
In a nutshell that’s exactly what I said in my album review at the end lol
My sympathies. I absolutely adore MCR, but I know they aren't for everyone. Kudos to you for giving them a shot.
Chris Stanley it’s all good! Thanks for watching!! If it’s any consolation, I had a lot of fun with Conventional Weapons!
@@TheTuneUp that's an album I never gave a shot, after listening to most of danger days. You've convinced me to listen to it, what sort of backwards timeline is this??
😂😂 2019 is wild!! Hope you enjoy!!
we deadass have the same taste.
i don't rly care for bullets but a lot of fans rly lov it n i could never get into it as much as i lov a 'raw' record (i didn't rly care for danger days either) however i LOVE black parade even tho ppl considered it too 'over produced' n considered it mcr's 'selling out' record
Great minds think alike!!! 😁🙌🏾
I love Danger Days :/
i personally really like this album but you’re feelings and opinion on this album totally makes sense and i one hundred percent see where you are coming from. it did however take me a few listens to get used to it and eventually like it. not saying it will be the same for you bc who knows, maybe it will grow on you, maybe it won’t. we can’t force you of course. but as always, glad to see you appreciate to “unappreciate” if that makes sense lol. keep up the good work!
Uh oh there's a disclaimer lmao 😂
😅🤷🏾♂️
Damn that intro track was dope af
domesticV1190XxOo shoutout my brother Cássio!!! 🙌🏾🔥🔥🙌🏾
The Tune Up also loved this reaction. Lol I feel bad sometimes as a major fan of the band, but their first album is not for me. Mainly because of the screaming. Like I enjoy screaming, (System of a Down ❤) but I get it. Their production value wasn't on point cuz they were just starting out.
I started with 3 Cheers, which had me HOOKED lol but The Black Parade had so many hits, that it became my fav album overall.
In this album my faves are Sunsets over Monroeville, Cubicle, and track 11 🙄. The guitar and music composition in some songs are pretty dope as well
Thanks for watching!! Yeah, it’s really not for me, but there’s still a couple shining moments on here. SOAD is dope as hell btw 👍🏾
domesticV1190XxOo Yeah, and if you ever see footage of Ray Toro playing live, it's awesome. They were diamonds in the rough here. Gerard's voice was rly raw here too.
1st of all MY FAVORITE DAMN ALBUM
2nd of all MY FAVORITE DAMN BAND
MCR WILL LIVE ON WITHIN ME!!
Also can we just bring up the fact that through this album Gerard (lead singer) was dealing with drug and alcohol addiction.
Not to mention his abscess tooth, lol
And this was also recorded in a basement
I knew you weren’t going to enjoy this album at all, but I really appreciate how you realized that this album means so much to other people while most others would listen to it and trash it afterwards. This album is my favourite album of all time and Demolition Lovers is my favourite song of all time (mostly based on the fact that I listened to it during a really dark time, and not so much because of the sound itself).
That’s all that matters. As long as the music did something for you, who am I to say anything at all? I can give my opinion, but that’s all it is, my opinion. It’s a fact that this album was a huge milestone for them, and it’s another fact that it helped millions. I can always support that 😊 thanks for watching!!
Okay hi, my sister gave birth last night so I couldn't watch but I'm here! Firstly, I'm glad you can see where my username is from now :) its so old but its become a thing. Secondly, I totally agree with everything you said, I disliked the album when I first heard it, (too much screaming), but at some point I just acquired a taste for it and focused on the softer parts. Theres a lot of beautiful things in there like lyrics, guitars, and just some of the general emotion at times. They definitely were on the right path with what they wanted but were limited in tech, resources, and just overall music knowledge and composition. Its kind of a product of its time, and after watching some old footage of the making of this album, it kind of filled fans with a love for their pureness in this. You see a bunch of kids who didn't really know what they were doing but had so many emotions and didn't really know how to deal with them. I think I'm just rambling now but before I go, RAY TORO IS A GENIUS WITH GUITARS ANd he's just an amazing musician who doesn't get enough credit, but yeah, I'm glad you liked the guitar parts!
While watching that making of video, I learned that you can't eat Beefaroni without forks. And yes, Ray Toro is just a freakin' genius on a guitar.
Caeleinn i could watch that video thousands of times without it getting old
First and foremost, CONGRATULATIONS TO YOUR SISTER! I HOPE THE BABY IS HEALTHY 🙌🏾
Secondly, thanks for watching!! Yeah, it’s definitely an acquired taste. If you focus on what makes the album pop I think it’s easier to digest.
The Tune Up hes healthy and so cute and has the chubbiest little cheeks
so happy to hear it!!! Send him and your sister my love please!!
If you listen to Gerard's vocals in this album and the next, his improvement is astounding. And yes there's a concept. "The Demolition Lovers" are a Bonnie and Clyde couple that possibly die at the end. It's rumoured that its the same couple in "Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge". If so, she lives, but he dies. So he makes a deal with the devil to take the souls of 1000 evil men in one night (to be reunited w/ her). But he fails and gets sent back to hell.
I see. That would make sense if that’s the case. That ending song leading into the focus of the following album.
He had an abscess in his jaw and he had just learned how to scream.
i get why you wouldn't like aspects of the album. personally, i love the raw vocals and screaming (mainly because it isn't over the top or constant screaming, which i can't stand) but yea the somewhat flat vocals, screaming and dark sound can definitely turn people away and i completely get that, i just love how aggressive and dark it is, probably why i love Three Cheers as well lmaoo glad you checked it out though man
edit: also, the analysis at the end about this album not being for everybody is true. this album is a place of comfort for me, the aggressive nature and tone of the project and how loud everything is helps get out emotions that have no other outlet and i'm glad i was able to find it when i did
Your description of people who would like this was totally me when I found out about them. I used to be a person who didn't pay attention to lyrics in songs but this band really made me into a lyrical person but I love everything with music. This band specifically got me through a lot of unhappiness and the feeling of loneliness and monotony and got me into a lot more awesome music that I wouldn't have paid any attention to otherwise. I can totally see why this album isn't for you and that's totally respectable, there's mainstream stuff that I can not stand at all but see how people love it. Music is something that everyone can love.
I can’t believe you even reacted to this one! I’m officially shook.
Haha I had to. People kept asking about it on my other socials lol
Man right when you uploaded this I was reading old diary entry’s.
Forgive me for asking but, were they your own entries or is that another MCR reference?
The Tune Up lol no i actually found like an old diary I had from like a year ago. It was mainly me complaining about teachers and obsessing over boys.
Ohhhh forsure 😂 the nostalgia is real!
early sunsets got me through a lot im glad you liked it
I’m not surprised!! It’s a standout song! Happy it helped you.
I like your Gerard Way profile pic. Gerard is our Lord and Savior
Even though I absolutely love every song on this album, I enjoyed hearing your praises and your criticisms. drowning lessons and early sunsets are my favorites
Was i the only one getting Linkin Park vibes on Our Lady of Sorrow? Specifically with the guitar riffs
Hahahaha now that you mention it I can hear that now!
this is one of my favorite alubums of all time, and I respect your opinion! keeping it real and being dead honest!
For most of the album Gerard had an abscess in his jaw, also he was sober for black parade so that might explain things for you.
Wtf happened to his jaw? I tried to look for info online but i couldnt find any
@@cold5529 he had a rotten tooth and it hurt every time he opened his mouth
@@duru7865 oof ouch
i just had a heart attack thank you v much
Hahaha you’re welcome 😂
Every time I hear our lady sorrows I just think of “yOU CAN FIGHT ME FOR AN APPLE” a lot of people wont understand this but whatever
Yeah, you lost me on this one 😂😂😂
No, I understand. It's from a performance they did in Italy where in the middle of the song Gerard gives the Microphone to Frank and he said "YOU CAN FIGHT ME FOR AN APPLE!" That whole performance was a mess but a good mess.
I definitely think that this isn't the first mcr album you should listen to and it probably will take a few listens to used to but once you get it you get it. It's quite a polarising album. Great video👍
Still two years late, but still gonna comment! 😂 I just love this so much! Sometimes I like Bullets, sometimes I don’t! (Also I adore Ray Toro), I completely understand the off-putting nature of most of it, but you liked Sunsets which made me feel really good ☺️
MCR started after Gerard witnessed 9/11 so there was a lot of trauma, anger, grief. Skylines and Turnstiles was explicitly about that, I wasn’t born then so that tells you my age, but watching a recording of a live performance of it in a basement show in New Jersey, it sunk in pretty heavily. It and other things were deeply felt by all of them on this album. I seriously appreciate how respectful you are, it makes your reactions so great to watch.
Ray Toro is my favorite mcr member
Frank iero plz
Forgive me for asking, but who is that?
The Tune Up the guitar player in my chemical romance
Ahhhh. He has solo projects?
Ya
The Tune Up If I remember correctly, you had mentioned checking out Frnkiero and the Cellabration - Stomachaches
Everyone else has said this but I love how kind you are with your criticisms. Of course this album isn't for everyone, but you gave it a chance and that's all anyone can ask!
Drowning Lessons is so underrated
Definitely one of the better songs on there. 👍🏾👍🏾
So glad this came up in my recommended. Good video! I'm actually a really big fan of this album, just the rawness of this album I feel I can get behind really well.
Thank you so much for watching!! Yeah, emotion in music always makes it pure and fun to go back to 😊
Haha when you said you weren’t like a super huge fan of screaming I knew this album would not be a fave for you but that’s totally fine and you gave it an honest try! I was really surprised though that you preferred over 3 cheers cause that album seems way for melodic to me and has way better production
there's a disclaimer oh no
😐😐
oh i completely agree with your opinion. i get why people like this album, it's just something i personally don't enjoy. it's the same feeling i have with pray for the wicked.
8:20 my man said everything that had to be said about the album
i am a huge mcr fan and to be honest this is the only album that I don’t really listen to. the only song I really really like off the album is early sunsets over Monroeville and I’m so happy like it. It is so beautiful and I hold it very close to my heart.
You have some strong points that I agree with but I won’t stop loving this album I love it so much
This album definitely showed the start of something great. Like they pushed it out very quickly because the emotion was there and they wanted to jump in while it was still there. Gerard was singing most of these songs with a tooth abscess, and you can hear the pain in his voice. And right after 9/11 you can feel the upset, sadness, and frustration. It’s their only album that wasn’t a whole concept. They reference this album a lot on their later releases. The end of The World is Ugly samples the whispering at the end of Vampires Will Never Hurt You. Three Cheers and Bullets are like night and day in terms of production.
If you liked the music on this album I think you might* like Thursday’s music. Geoff from Thursday produced this album, and had a hand in Drowning Lessons outro. (Id check out “friends in the armed forces”, “standing on the edge of summer”, “running from the rain”, and “division st.” If you’re interested)
This is the best day ever is my least favourite MCR song.
Also if you where interested skylines and turnstiles is about 9 11, Gerard was working as a illustrator for the Cartoon Network in New York so saw it happening in front of his very eyes. He went home and wrote the song which was the first MCR song ever written.
I completely understand you not feeling the album. It’s a rough listen, not mainstream at all, but it’s nice to see that some elements of it resonates in later projects, like the tendency to opera rock and concept (Demolition Lovers was the beginning of the concept for Three Cheers, and the album cover is a reference of that, called “Demolition Lovers II” if I’m not mistaken).
After all is said and done, I think MCR may win you over with Conventional Weapons, which has a lot of what is supposed to be Danger Days in early stages, and has a lot of concept ideas that echoes from Umbrella Academy (Gerard’s Comic Book Series - a highly prized one).
As a fan since 2002, I have to agree that MCR is not a perfect band, but is very loved by the Army and they hanged a lot of lives. Long live the Black Parade.
I love your honest reviews. A lot of what you say is really accurate. This album really doesn't sound very polished. For some people, that draws them to it, but it's totally fair to not be a fan of that. I think it's really funny how the only song you really liked was early sunsets, which I definitely thought was boring when I was an angsty thirteen year old. I love seeing your outside perspective of an album that holds nostalgia for me as an early emotional outlet and it made me appreciate the more melodic parts of it that you pointed out for the beautiful bits that they are.
''This Is the Best Day Ever'' best song on the album
I feel like in the early days of MCR, expecially in this album, the strongest part was, probably, the instrumental espects, and maybe the lyrical (although I personally tend to think of the music first, and concidering that it is your first reaction, i believe you tend to do so too). Gerard, as a vocalist, is obviously not the anazing-voice-how-can-anyone-sing-that-well singer, but his quite rough sounding, unpolished voice, seems to fit with the style. I am certain this album is not one for everyone's taste, obviously, though I quite like the raw sound of it.
I do have to mention that Ray is a very tallented guitarist and so is Frank.
And that Mikey has some really nice parts here.
And that Matt, even if you don't like him as a person (completely understandable) is an horrendously tallented drummer.
Also I am very happy you liked Early Sunsets, this is indeed a beautiful song.
To be fair, he did have an abscess in his jaw at the time.
Oooo disclaimer lmao
--
Hella late, but I just got off of work. But I'm curious is youll like *Conventional weapons*. They're throw away tracks. (Which I fucking love. I think you'd like them too but idk)
Btw my favorite tracks on here is Honey..., Vampires, Early Sunsets, and Our Lady of Sorrows, and Demolition lovers. The others I skip tbh lmao.
-
I loved your reaction thank you for listening to our suggestion!
Thank YOU for watching 😊 yeah, that’s the album that’s up next. I’ve been told they’re all throwaway tracks so that’s pretty intriguing to know going into it. I don’t know when I’ll get to that suggestion but you’ll all be notified one way or another when I do 😊👍🏾
I found your channel from brad, pretty cool vids! You got a new sub!
I can’t wait I love this album and mcr in general
Bullets is the most under produced album from MCR. It's like the complete opposite of Danger Days, production wise.
I wonder if your mind would change about Skylines and Turnstiles if you read the lyrics and knew it was about 9/11
I really love this album because it's so raw. Feels very experimental and also not afraid to take risks.
I think there was a breakdown of the lyrics in the comments somewhere!!
And yeah, for a debut it’s really raw and unapologetic!!
@@TheTuneUp Yeah, I love it but I won't pretend that is a great album.
Yo i just found your channel. I'm a pretty huge MCR fan, this one took me several listens to wrap my head around, the overarching story gave it a little bit of a pass from some of my criticism tho. Anyway, I really like what you do here, good shit! Subbed.
Some of the faces you made while listening to the songs were so funny I started laughing
Don't Hold Back is such a great song to this day, super nostalgic- that entire album is one of my favorite pop-punk listens bc it's so crisp and fun to this day! As far as Bullets goes, I get why it's really hard to digest, but it also happens to be my personal favorite by MCR. I'm one of the odd ones lol
Odd’s just another word for interesting 😊 and hey! I was right!!! It’s by The Sleeping right? Such a dope song! I love the tempo changes from the hook to the verses!!
yeah it's by The Sleeping! If you dug that track I would recommend listening to their album Questions and Answers that Don't Hold Back is on! I feel like you'll definitely enjoy at least a couple songs- super underrated album by an underrated band!
I’ll give it a listen! Don’t Hold Back was so fire 😊👍🏾👍🏾
Well this album definitely isn't pop punk, this is post-hardcore. The later ones do have some pop punk in them :P
I was talking about The Sleeping's album being pop-punk! I also classify this album as post-hardcore with a little bit of pop-punk elements here and there lol
Conventional Weapons is actually really good imo
So I’ve been told!! When I bring the suggestions back I’ll definitely notify everyone when I take a listen to it!
Scorpion 66 views in 1 day and mcr 505 views in 8 hours.........that says something
Not really. My audience mainly only cares for emo related reactions lol this is nothing new 😂
Also, both Scorpion videos did 300+ in a day so idk where you got that 66 from.
The Tune Up idk for me I said that
My fave album by them, at the age of like 12/13 listened to it everyday. Gerard's vocals are one my fave things about the album tbf even though everyone is slating it
I understand your point of view, while this album has some of my favorite songs in total it was a hit or miss for me
While others could enjoy all of it I don't want to have to read the lyrics
Yeah, I’m right there with you. I move with the feeling more than on the meaning of the music nowadays. It’s more enjoyable that way.
To each their own. This is my favorite band of all time. However I recognize that everyone has their own style.
I had a tiny heart attack when I saw the notification. .-.
Haha, well I hope you’re okay now
The Tune Up I am. 🤣
Skylines Is the first song they ever made its talking about 9/11 attack
I love all mcr album & i love all their song... thanks for reacting😉
Thanks for watching!! 😊
If I'm being honest, my only problem with this album were gerard's vocals. While I'm usually not put off by screamo, I just feel like it wasn't very well executed on here. The main reason why I like bullets are the lyrics and the overall aesthetic of it. I think it was mainly just mcr getting started and learning to work together as a band, if that makes sense.
Makes total sense. It’s the starting point for what was to follow. It’s rough, pitchy, and uneven, but that’s probably a good estimate of how life was for them back then.
This is my favorite album of theirs just for the raw energy
The energy is definitely a standout feature!!
Could you possibly react to a green day album? By the way, loved the reaction! Early sunsets over monroeville is one of my favorite songs too?
Yeah, I was going to do an Album Archives upload for Dookie soon. It’s gonna be like a semi suggestions because I don’t remember that album too well other than the hits from it so you can expect that in the near future
ok here we go let me guess what your review is gonna be: “the best and only good thing MCR has ever done starts with a ‘B’ and ends with ‘lack Parade’ and i hate that all these people showed up in my comment section and made me listen to this fucker screaming in a basement. better than danger days though! also like whatever you like, just because _I_ think it’s shit and want it to die doesn’t mean it can’t be your favorite album :) have a nice day everyone :)”
honestly though it’s really cool that you do these, i love listening to your opinions and your thoughts and watching your face as you listen to stuff, and i’m really sorry you’re not looking forward to the suggestion sessions anymore :(
Hahahaha 😂😂 your comments always make me smile 😊
I didn’t think it was shit though!! Just not for me 😊 as you’re probably seeing lol
Yeah, I think suspending suggestions for a while is going to help me enjoy making videos again. I know every other video that I post is about to flop so hard but at least I’ll be happy with what I’m uploading. Regardless of how I feel about DOING the suggestions, it always makes it worth it to see how you guys respond to them 😊❤️🙏🏾
bullets is my favorite album of all time and i absolutely adore drowning lessons & our lady & early sunsets & demolition lovers, but i totally see why someone wouldn't like this album. hell, the first time i heard it i hated it. it's definitely an acquired taste.
it also helped me (and still does!) through dark times, so whenever someone trashes it i can get defensive so thanks for being open minded about it 😂
(also yeah gerards vocals are trash in this like 90% of the time but idk, for some reason i really love that too)
Okay so I've been diving into old/older Hardcore music like Have Heart and Bane lately and there is a lot of that influence in this Album and I get that it's not everyone's cup of tea and I'm not even sure if I like the overwhelmingly depressing tone of this album since Hardcore was all about PMA (positive mental attitude). So they talked about the problems but in the end the message is always: We can get through this, we can change things.
Also: Punk lives from tempo- and dynamic-changes so going from a quiet half time part into a really loud and moshy punk time part is to be expected
And there is no "The one song you mosh to", around that time and espeically with that album the whole venue would be a mosh pit for the whole duration of the show.
Okay so here's my personal opinion: I think My Chem is overrated. Not that they make bad music but espeically now people just like them because it's edgy and they're so emo. It's also probably one of the only non-mainstream-pop bands they know. People like this album because of "nostalgia" but this is just a mess at most points. If you compare this with for example Senses Fail's 2002 release you'd see how much of a car crash this is and it was both their first releases. The Black Parade is a great album but making everything the band did the best thing ever because of that is just stupid
I really respect your input on any video I’ve seen a comment of yours on. Every time I get 10x more insight on whatever album we’ll be talking about. I never heard of that whole PMA attitude and hearing your opinion on why you think MCR is overrated makes a lot of sense. Again, thank you for the comments and thank you for watching 😊
even a lot of kids who grew up in the scene don't know about PMA and the old Hardcore scene. But that's why I write these comments, to clear up misconceptions about the scene even if a lot of the original sentiment got lost somewhere along the way and has to fight its way back in now. A big part of Hardcore was straight edge (no alcohol, no drugs, being vegan) and no ego and that worked when it was still a couter-movement but as alternative bands like Fall Out Boy got mainstream success the scene really forgot about all of that. Now younger bands and fans try to reclaim the scene again and make it stand for something. PMA never really went away since Pop Punk took it over with their posi posi life but only few actually know where it came from. All in all the scene is fascinating and has something for everybody
Why has no one mentioned he didn’t finish Demolition Lovers 😭😭😭
Your reactions made me realize how gnarly Gerard's singing was on this album loool but it's still some of the best songs they wrote so who cares.
I totally get not liking this album. I don't mind the screaming too much and I like the raw energy of this album. But I know that this is definitely not for everyone
oh jesus, I'm not ready for this. Oh god.
I mainly appreciate this album for the instrumentals- MCR's guitar has always fucked me up- but I can definitely understand how people wouldn't be able to overlook the other parts even if the instruments are great. I grew into myself while listening to this kind of music, and I also typically prefer raw vocals over super auto-toned vocals, so his voice really doesn't turn me off in any way. It's weird, it's like I don't notice it anymore, whereas I absolutely hated it when I first heard it.
This whole video was a mess of me singing along to all of the words while trying not to laugh at your displeased facial expressions as a mechanism for dealing with my secondhand embarrassment. Idk how to feel, honestly XD
HOWEVER! Something good about albums you aren't into is that when you do find a song you like, it makes me soooo happy and excited lmao
Random fact: Skylines and Turnstiles was written about 9/11, which Gerard Way witnessed firsthand. Supposedly that's what made him start up the band idea again (there had been previous attempts, I believe) because he didn't think his current life was making the kind of difference he wanted to make.
Demolition Lover is one of my favorite songs. It's hard to explain why, other than it gives me strong feelings that I also can't explain? I know, very articulate.
Even though I knew you weren't going to necessarily like the album, I was also expecting you to dislike it more than you did, so... not a win, but not a crippling loss, either?
Still a loss. But nothing unexpected, I guess haha
I love the way you look at music as a whole. You're so non-judgmental about different genres while still holding to your opinions, which is, in my opinion, the perfect reaction to things you don't like.
And now. Conventional Weapons. I have no idea what you will think about it. One or two of my favorite songs by them come from CW, but it's also an album that's not very hyped. At all. It was only released digitally i'm pretty sure, and I think it was made before Danger Days, then pushed aside because they felt it was too "safe" for them, or something to that effect.
Oooookay, this is way too long so I'm gonna cut it off. Thanks for the reaction!
I'm kinda sad you don't like Headfirst for Halos but I'm not mad it's you opinion not mine ( BTW I like you were so positive and how you did not diss the album you gave it some hope on Drowning Lessons and Early Sunsets and Drowning Lessons is about a TERRIBLE accident the happened when they made The next album and don't wanna ruin it but Early Sunsets is about a Apocalypse that happened Sry to tell you that also THERE MORE OF DEMOLITION LOVERS :( )
Tell you what, the thing about Skylines is that I absolutely hate the official version. The demo version, which can be found on the greatest hits compilation, is way better in that it's just a lot simpler of a production (duh, it's a demo, but you get my point). There's no weird vocal stacking or other "experimental" shit going on that just kills the whole point, which was literally that Gerard had an identity crisis after watching the Towers come down. Demo version - definitely the more enjoyable listen, even if half their shit wasn't in tune hahahaha
Hahaha I feel you! I’ll give it a listen! Thanks for watching 😊👍🏾
Headfirst is in my top 10 by them, but i gotta agree this album needs a remix, maybe for the 20th anniversary?
That would be awesome to hear!
This is my favorite mcr album and black parade is my least favorite lol. I really really hated black parade when it was new because it’s so theatrical and way less punk. But I do like it now.
I actually know some people who feel the same! They didn’t like how theatrical and popular that album was, and they resonated more with this album and Three Cheers. 😊
Lmao he missed the second part of demolition lovers
Had to cut it. It’s a 6 minutes song and I had to make sure the video was within fair use.
The Tune Up oh sorry thought you missed it
I listen / record the full songs but I can’t upload them in their entirety. Especially at the rate my videos have been getting blocked.
I love our lady of sorrows
Bro you here looks like ray toro from my chem. He is handsome tho. Gotta tell
I appreciate that so much ❤️😊
React to Nothing But Thieves, please!
I am. If you check out the upload after this, I list it in the upcoming suggestions.
yes I am ready
Hope you enjoyed!!
Gerard had a toothache during the recording of these songs, which is why his voice is a little shitty on this album.
Yeah, I remember seeing a comment about that. Still impressed by the fact he was able to power through and record the album at all. Salute to that man.
Makes me sad to hear you bash the incredibly raw lyrics even though it was made in some dudes moms basement. That’s kinda what I dig. He also had a massive tooth abscess one of his teeth while recording these lyrics so he does have an excuse lol
While it's not my fave by a long shot, there's a few songs I love. Desolation Lovers, This Mirror..., and Vampires. The Vampires as ppl who suck the life out of you symbolism recurs metaphorically in later albums. Rly vivid stuff.
I see. Seems like a concept they enjoyed in their beginnings and just continued to run with it.
The Tune Up I'm not a huge fan of the screaming either. They were diamonds in the rough imp. Gerard's voice was rly different too.
I don't get the voices either. Sunsets over Monroeville makes me cry, but I love it. This album definitely draws on their love of horror movies.
Ahhh Headfirst for halos is my favourite on the album I’m scared for your opinion on it
Ahhhhh no
Okay you liked Early Sunsets so it’s all good!
Haha I like how me liking Early Sunsets is the redeeming factor 😂
Happy July 4th!!
Hope you had a good one 🙂👍🏾
Thanks!
@@TheTuneUp rewatching this 3 years later. Man I've changed. Hope you are well 🙏🏽
Yeah, I don’t think you are gonna like this. I mean, I don’t really like it either, so.😂
Yeah. It wasn’t fun, but I hope it’s a fun video for people to reminisce over.
Disclaimer on mcr?!
I think all of my MCR reactions have disclaimers on them, but the only one that didn't need one was The Black Parade lol
skylines was the first song they wrote after they witnessed 9,11
thats why its rough
Uh oh there's a disclaimmerrrrrr
this was entertaining lmao
Happy to hear it 😂👍🏾
Yeah, this album is not for everyone. It's bad, pretty bad, but I love it. It took multiple listenings but now these songs are total bangers to me. The only song I haven't grown to like is Headfirst for Halos. No idea what but I don't really like it
But as much as I like this album, nothing is bigger than my love for Three Cheers
Please react to Die Antwoord's newest album "Mount Ninji and the Nice Time Kid" It's very different rap, very entertaining
Different how? I don’t really like serious rap 😂 how would you describe it?
They're a south African electro-rap group consisting of male/female duo, Ninja and Yolandi Visser, and it's not super serious. Not every song is rap either. The Mount Ninji and the Nice Time Kid album actually gives off Tim Burton vibes which I was so not expecting. And all of their music videos are nuts. Very artistic honestly and they don't give a flying f*ck what anybody thinks of them. Would love to see your reaction
i've only watched like 2 of your videos and i already know you're not gonna like most of this album JDBSJDB
Haha yeah, it wasn’t my favorite, but I still gave it a chance!
Listen to Gorillaz
Covered their new album in my next upload. Should be up tomorrow.
Now Now reaction is up.
Inuyasha fan huh. Lmfao.
What’s wrong with Inuyasha?
