DEAD. ASS. I was ridiculed for openly being an MCR fan. I get the fandom could be a turn off, but their music is actually so good. My taste has changed so much throughout the years but I can listen to their first three albums without skipping any songs to this day
I was one of the outspoken hater voices. I was wrong. Full stop. The 2000s were a weird time around music; Gatekeeping and genre splits were dumb and all shouldn't have been that way.
@@Plazthespaz3 I liked the oft played radio singles from TBP {Except Teenagers. I still full stop hate that song} but at the time I was viscerally turned off by the idea of "Emo" and pointedly shunned music associated with the phase. Getting into the music after they broke up was gut wrenching. YAY, for the return!
Things Anthony hates about his youth, according to this review: 1) George Bush president 2) Internet porn takes forever to download 3) You can't listen to Death Grips yet
@@itsk3hiphop woah TBP is a near perfect album it earns a classic review it is a complete story front to back, three cheers is just a collection of great rock songs, still love it but its not better than TBP as an album.
Gerard Way is also a comic book writer funny enough. Check out The True Lives of The Fabulous Killjoys comic. It's insanely good, That was my favorite album and one I can listen to start to finish with ease, so when I found the comic I was elated.
Garcia2003 the first two certainly are but this and killjoys are objectively not emo even tho the more emotional songs on this album can fit into that category
Not only he reviewed Black Parade as a classic... he even said that Three Cheers is good. It's perfectly fine to love MCR and not feel ashamed people. So happy.
The hate for MCR was so dumb; they were easily the best band of the mid-00s emo/post-hardcore scene. Sadly, their more insane fans were an understandable turn off for a lot of people.
“Famous Last Words” is an ambiguous ending. You don’t know if the patient survive and is gonna live different or if he is going to die and he just embrace death.
Isn’t a bad thing per se, Gerard said multiple times that it was intentionally ambiguous, and it’s kind of a portrait of the time and mental health of them at the time. They were bad to worst, but somehow they overcome the shit in their lives, half of the album it’s less ironical and more melodramatic, the patient facing not only death but his own mistakes and sins in life, to the end in Famous Last Words he’s facing life itself, he’s not knowing what is going on, what would be left of him... is he’s going to die? To live? What? We don’t know the same way we don’t now either. He’s telling us that whatever it will be he’ll face it bravely, not ironical or sinister as in the track Dead! He’s in between life and death, pleasure and tragedy but he’s accepting himself and the dark parts
thats where Blood and Heaven Help Us come in. Blood is about how life sucks assuming the patient died and HHU is about the patient dying and going to hell. HHU Is only on the Japanese version and the WTTBP single though
Dude. This. I’ll never forget my first listen to this album and being overwhelmed with euphoria during the end of Famous Last Words. I wish I could hear it for the first time again lol.
The production period for this album was hella cursed (wrote/recorded in a haunted mansion, everyone got injured filming the Famous Last Words mv, etc) which only makes it more legendary tbh
I remember listening to Famous Last Words by myself in the bus a few days after nearly committing suicide. It gives me the feels, man. This band means so much to me.
It’s honestly insane how ambitious and big this album is for a band that was associated as being an “emo band” from the mid 2000s. It has such a unique place in music history and really stands out from the other albums of this era. Probably one of my favorite rock/alternative albums ever.
The writing was my favorite with all the double entendres, timeless idioms, and the contrast of emotionally gut wrenching and ghoulishly cynical. Not to mention the pristine production, explosive anthems, and batshit tangents. Truly a mind unreeling with death, dying, and suffering. Looking forward to their take on the pandemic and political strife for the next album.
@@Remedy462 Well said. It really is just an incredibly impressive album all around, in terms of its song structuring, vocals, and concept. It has this strikingly addictive aura to it
@@JCSmith717 I only recently just got into MCR, I was around when both Three Cheers and Black Parade were huge but I wrote it off as melodramatic emo crap, though I secretly loved Helena, Dead!, and Teenagers. I was too much into classic 70's rock like Rush, Led Zeppelin, and King Crimson to besmirch my ears with such common drab lol (most Zeppelin songs are just dick songs, at least the ones they didn't cover haha). Recently I've gotten into them and just floored that each album is good to outstanding, Black Parade is definitely an actual rock masterpiece. Dead! Is still my all time favorite song by the band, as generic as it may make me seem as an MCR fan. :)
tbh i feel like the way i contemplate death is as erratic as the album and it’s narrative is. i don’t agree with the idea of there being multiple primary characters, it just takes away from the intention of the album. songs like dead aren’t a character within the story singing to another character, it’s the song directly laying out these ideas and the setup to the rest of the album to the listener. the listener is the patient, the rest of the songs are just elaborating on the many complex feelings one would have about impending death. just in my experience
I’m so glad that these dudes are being appreciated for their talent now, and that most people are over that dumb “HURRR DURRR EMO CRINGE! TEENAGE GIRLS LIKE THIS SO I CAN’T!!! CRINGE CRINGE CRINGE POSER SELLOUTS” stigma
Well, I sorta am that kinda guy, I want to get into MCR, but I don't want to be called out for listening to "emo" music, and also I'm not someone that really likes punk music, only enjoying some because of Green Day's American Idiot.
Man I still wear my Three Cheers t-shirt that I bought in Hot Topic when I was 16. I don't care what anybody says, My Chem is and always was a great band.
I want to give a shoutout to Gerard's astounding vocal performances on this album. The wall of screams in Sleep and the soaring finale to Famous Last Words are unbelievable
He really delivered a big one on this album. But the one that really gets me is mama. Amazing raw performance at the bridge when he screams with all his guts "mama!"
Excuse me???? The most recent AJR album??????? Are we just gonna pretend like it didnt change music as it is and left a colossal impact on the world? The disrespect, smh.
@@RJIS It’s still only tangentially related at best. You can draw ties all you want but the fact of the matter is it just doesnt fit with the overall narrative of overcoming death
I have such a vivid memory of going to get this album on release day, running home, throwing it in the stereo, and feeling totally spellbound from start to finish. Even upon first listen I could tell it was something special, and almost fourteen years later those feelings haven't dulled at all. My Chem's albums are so cinematic/atmospheric/narrative-heavy that I always carve out time to just sit and soak in them without any distractions, even today. I loved this review; it's been super heartwarming to see the band be recognized more and more over the years for their artistry and impact.
Same! It was a Monday after school and I insisted my parents drive me to the store. I feel lucky I saw them on this tour too. And I agree, there is something particularly special about this album getting the acclaim it deserves. Melon alluded to it in his review, but I think a lot of this current warm reception has to do with our anxious MySpace generation growing up and ditching the adolescent mindset of "guilty" musical pleasures. I was in my earliest teens when the album came out, right at that age where you started to really explore music that was to your own taste, rather than passively absorbing radio hits. MCR was a gateway to heavier stuff for lots of us, so soon enough they were considered "scene music" that you weren't allowed to enjoy. You always kinda knew the album was amazing, and you always weirdly enjoyed it, but you just couldn't admit it. I think Paramore fell into the same category with Riot! Enter Shikari's first album would be another example - actual scene-kid music that was amazing but totally forbidden if you also liked heavy metal. Nowadays we're older and wiser we understand that there was nothing wrong enjoying what we did as kids. Without all those teenage hangups we're finally free to enjoy what is really great music.
@@GainingOne Oh, wow! I don't think I ever went through the guilty pleasures phase (My Chem has been a constant in my life since they entered it around the time of Three Cheers), so I really appreciate this comment! You have given me a much better understanding of how peoples' journey with the music went and why they eventually felt more comfortable openly loving it later in life. Super interesting, thank you for sharing!
Wow a good comment on melons channel? Also you're definitely right about people being afraid to enjoy Paramore back in the day. But now those same people recognise the success of their music (myself included).
Man this was the first album I ever fell in love with. My first ever concert was their Danger Days tour when I was 13 (a decade ago) and it remains one of the best memories of my life. I don't think I'll ever get tired of listening to it.
One time I asked my high school orchestra teacher if he ever knew Gerard Way since he attended the same school we were at and he said he'd actually taught him as a kid. That blew my mind.
@A Self Called L Yeah, Gerard's mom sent him to Belleville High School instead of a school in Newark presumably so he could get a better education as Newark is a rough place to grow up in. My orchestra teacher used to teach band too and he told me he had Gerard as a student.
I finally feel at peace. Musically, The Black Parade always felt like a masterpiece but the god damn emo stigma always had me second guessing. Thank you melon for allowing me to lay this to rest.
They never had anything to do with Emo. They were a rock band with a gothic horror presentation, which was easily mistaken for Emo... given that the Emo thing was at a peak during their time.
I have similar feelings. I've been a fan since not long before Parade was released, and I remember thinking 'this is so huge, it'll change rock'... it did, but not without being absolutely smashed by many (elitists?) that would dismiss the band simply on the grounds of them being associated with the term emo, which alright, I get it, emo was a rather obnoxious thing most of the time and even though I was a fan of MCR I never wanted to be associated with it either, but at the same time it was insanely unfair for the band. They're only being recognized as the quality, imaginative band that they were/are now, as oppossed to just by fans, and it's been 14 years since release. Oops, a tedtalk.
MemesAreDreams because emo was very popular at that time , basically every band that came out was considered emo, three cheers and the black parade was still listenable to this day, atleast in my opinion, compared to other emo songs
It's nice to see this much praise for this project. I can't listen to it too much anymore, my friend listened to this in the depths of her own fight with cancer, and when she beat it, we would blast it as a reminder that she won. 4 months later, a rapid onset of leukemia killed her. I love this whole album, but welcome to the black parade hits a little different when you sing it as you lower a 21 year old in her sparkly casket she picked at 15. Thank you for the review, it reminds me of all the good times we had.
I'm so sorry this happened to you. It sounds awful and I can't imagine anything embodying the entire vibe of this album and this band more than your story.
Disenchanted was originally going to be cut from the album. However it was saved at the last second by the bassist Mikey Way who urged the band to keep it. IMO it’s the best track on the album as it packs a massive punch and is absolutely crushing - as the main character comes to the final stages of accepting his fate and doing so feeling absolutely bitter. While I would hope no one here would ever face a situation like an early death - I think there are many moments in life where you have to accept a fate you aren’t happy about, and it’s not always a “happy” acceptance, and often is one of a bitter nature. Even if you eventually move on past it. The song captures that feeling of helplessness that I don’t think most songwriters want to talk about. Musically it’s incredible. The lyrics sting with every turn. The chorus flies high emotionally and crashes down. It’s catchy as hell. Easily the most underrated track on the record, and was my personal favorite back when this album originally released. Nice to see MCR finally get some love. I’ve noticed over the last 10 years more and more people realizing they love their music. Even those that hated them at the time they were popular. I think Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge - while not as great - has a ton of amazing songs. “The ghost of You” and “Thank You for the Venom” are awesome. And while Danger Days was hit and miss it also had some great moments. They are overall just a really solid band that is totally worth remembering.
honestly i think three cheers is underrated... i like it more than black parade, but that's not to discredit it! tbp was THE turning point and it's an amazing fucking album, i could go on and on. im just very passionate about this band and i guess i relate to the grimey sounding, "unprofessional" earlier stuff like bullets, but three cheers was a more cleaned up version of their heaviness. i just love it so much.
Disenchanted is probably my favourite song of all time, period. Idk what it is about it, I can't really explain it but somehow it makes me nostalgic and longing for a youth I never had (even though i am still in my youth)
"I think there are many moments in life where you have to accept a fate you aren’t happy about" "The song captures that feeling of helplessness that I don’t think most songwriters want to talk about." This is EXACTLY why it's perfect where it is, because it captures that emotion perfectly. Didn't know it almost didn't make the cut. Glad it did, it's important.
This has probably the first album I listened to front and back and fell in love with. It blows my mind how much of the Black Parades overall message went over people's heads tbh. The music videos and some lyrics were pretty straight forward. I may have moved on to a lot more heavier and nastier music, but this album always has a place in my heart as one of my all time favorites and don't care what anyone says.
can relate, my first album to listen to as well as long with Evanescence's album, the one that contains bring me to life, which I can't even recall the name
Same, I got the CD for Christmas back in 2006 after having heard Welcome to the Black Parade on some music list program on TV. It was the first album I owned and where my interest in music really got its start.
It's cool seeing how other people share my experience on this. I remember hearing Black Parade on the radio as a kid and it stuck with me. I seeked it out when i was a bit older, decided to downloaded and the album. Listened to it twice in a row with my mouth hanging open XD
@@dimitrisbk800 Check out bandsike Agoraphobic Nosebleed, Impaled( Mondo Medicale is a good album), Chat Pile, Ghoul is a fun band to listen to, Nocturnus, Pig Destoryer, Go-Zen, Jig-AI, and Bolt Thrower.
Ah, no one ever mentions I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love. Like yeah its not really an album that youd think of with MCR, but like, its still a respectable album with some great songs. (I may be biased as its a personal favorite)
As much as I love Bullets (it has some of my favourite lyrical work), Gerard Way's vocals were still untrained and rough around the edges. Does it deserve more attention? Sure. But I can certainly see why some people don't really like it compared to the rest of the discography.
emo music in the mid 2000s wasn't known for being "interesting" and as an ex emo kid it's dissappointing to go back and listen to things like P!atD's Pretty Odd, or FOB Folie a Duex, and realize they were trying really hard to be cool and ground breaking, but failing. MCR was my favorite band from 2009 to maybe 2016 and going back I'm pleased to say their stuff holds up
This album literally got me into music. I remember my friend letting me borrow his copy and i used to just sit in my room everyday after school just blasting this record on repeat till i finally got a copy burned. This album means so much to me I can't even describe it.
In an interview with MCR they said that The End. was actually heavily inspired by Pink Floyd's In The Flesh? off The Wall. It's very easy to see the similarities.
t heard it when I was around 14 and formed my love for more modern music and not just 90s songs and prior music that my parents or the radio made me listen to
I was obsessed with this album as a 12-year-old, when it first came out. My 65-year-old grandfather (rest his soul) also LOVED it. It was a really strange connection between us. He was a folk rock lovin' ex-vietnam vet, listening to my favorite emo album.
"Famous Last Words" is one of my top ten favorite songs of all time. It's gotten me through many, many, dark times in my life. My only problem with it is that the songs can sometimes mush together. I only buy vinyl of albums I think are a 9 or 10/10. This is probably a 9.5/10. One of my favorite albums ever.
iamdoriian The song itself may not be emo, but the emo crowd played the fuck out of it tho. Gerard himself said their music is not emo and that he hates emo music and that they’re just rock.
I'm > 40 years old, I only heard this album for the first time about 3 years ago when I found the cd for $2 in a second hand shop. This album has no connection to my youth but this is a great album.
I felt like Teenagers sort of tied in to the childhood/teenage narrative we see in Disenchanted, almost as if the protagonist is flashing back to his own “emo middle/high school days”. Just like an “outcast” or “emo” kid, they hate and are scared of their fellow teenagers, who viciously bully them while also remaining “cogs in the machine” of the real world’s conformity and cleanliness. This (imo) is the climactic area of the album where MCR invite their teenage fans (who have not lived anything close to a full life) to identify with the narrative, saving the inspirational “Famous Last Words” for the end as a plea to be brave and choose life instead of suicide or self-harm.
My initial purchase of this album is one of my favorite memories. About a year after its initial release, I picked up a CD copy from Barnes & Noble. I stopped to get some lunch in the food court of the mall the store was attached to, and a couple of scene kids were standing next to me as I waited for my food. One of them saw what I had in my clear B&N bag, and he said, "Dude, you're gonna LOVE that album!" with a huge grin on his face. When I got home and listened to it, all I could think was, "He wasn't lying." One of my favorite albums of all time.
Man,wasn't expecting that Dresden Dolls shout out. Just discovered them not too long ago and love them. Also since you mentioned it, classic review for Dookie plz?
Omfg. Finally. I discovered this album/band exactly a year ago, and I personally _loved_ this record. I listened to songs from it or even the whole thing almost every day for like 10 months. In the great times, in the hard times. I always felt it was something special (even most reviews say it's a classic), but there were also people who didn't think so high of it. Same with Three Cheers, which I discovered in around October. But it doesn't matter now. Finally. This. Is so. Validating.

It’s honestly insane how ambitious and big this album is for a band that was associated as being an “emo band” from the mid 2000s. It has such a unique place in music history and really stands out from the other albums of this era. Probably one of my favorite rock/alternative albums ever.
The writing was my favorite with all the double entendres, timeless idioms, and the contrast of emotionally gut wrenching and ghoulishly cynical. Not to mention the pristine production, explosive anthems, and batshit tangents. Truly a mind unreeling with death, dying, and suffering. Looking forward to their take on the pandemic and political strife for the next album.
@@Remedy462 Well said. It really is just an incredibly impressive album all around, in terms of its song structuring, vocals, and concept. It has this strikingly addictive aura to it
@@JCSmith717 I only recently just got into MCR, I was around when both Three Cheers and Black Parade were huge but I wrote it off as melodramatic emo crap, though I secretly loved Helena, Dead!, and Teenagers. I was too much into classic 70's rock like Rush, Led Zeppelin, and King Crimson to besmirch my ears with such common drab lol (most Zeppelin songs are just dick songs, at least the ones they didn't cover haha). Recently I've gotten into them and just floored that each album is good to outstanding, Black Parade is definitely an actual rock masterpiece. Dead! Is still my all time favorite song by the band, as generic as it may make me seem as an MCR fan. :)
@@Remedy462can you explain more about the ghoulishly cynical and batshit tangents?

wendigoon's interpretation of this album is my favorite i've seen so far and i cant listen to this album without thinking about it
Facts people get confused on the story because the songs aren’t in chronological order
his interpretation in my eyes has the best layout of the story
This is my opinion, but I think that his interpretation is too surface level
Can you elaborate?@@Androids23
tbh i feel like the way i contemplate death is as erratic as the album and it’s narrative is. i don’t agree with the idea of there being multiple primary characters, it just takes away from the intention of the album. songs like dead aren’t a character within the story singing to another character, it’s the song directly laying out these ideas and the setup to the rest of the album to the listener. the listener is the patient, the rest of the songs are just elaborating on the many complex feelings one would have about impending death. just in my experience

I have such a vivid memory of going to get this album on release day, running home, throwing it in the stereo, and feeling totally spellbound from start to finish. Even upon first listen I could tell it was something special, and almost fourteen years later those feelings haven't dulled at all. My Chem's albums are so cinematic/atmospheric/narrative-heavy that I always carve out time to just sit and soak in them without any distractions, even today. I loved this review; it's been super heartwarming to see the band be recognized more and more over the years for their artistry and impact.
Same! It was a Monday after school and I insisted my parents drive me to the store. I feel lucky I saw them on this tour too.
And I agree, there is something particularly special about this album getting the acclaim it deserves. Melon alluded to it in his review, but I think a lot of this current warm reception has to do with our anxious MySpace generation growing up and ditching the adolescent mindset of "guilty" musical pleasures.
I was in my earliest teens when the album came out, right at that age where you started to really explore music that was to your own taste, rather than passively absorbing radio hits. MCR was a gateway to heavier stuff for lots of us, so soon enough they were considered "scene music" that you weren't allowed to enjoy. You always kinda knew the album was amazing, and you always weirdly enjoyed it, but you just couldn't admit it. I think Paramore fell into the same category with Riot! Enter Shikari's first album would be another example - actual scene-kid music that was amazing but totally forbidden if you also liked heavy metal.
Nowadays we're older and wiser we understand that there was nothing wrong enjoying what we did as kids. Without all those teenage hangups we're finally free to enjoy what is really great music.
You should also check out Polyphonic's video on the topic!
@@GainingOne Oh, wow! I don't think I ever went through the guilty pleasures phase (My Chem has been a constant in my life since they entered it around the time of Three Cheers), so I really appreciate this comment! You have given me a much better understanding of how peoples' journey with the music went and why they eventually felt more comfortable openly loving it later in life. Super interesting, thank you for sharing!
Wow a good comment on melons channel? Also you're definitely right about people being afraid to enjoy Paramore back in the day. But now those same people recognise the success of their music (myself included).
Man this was the first album I ever fell in love with. My first ever concert was their Danger Days tour when I was 13 (a decade ago) and it remains one of the best memories of my life. I don't think I'll ever get tired of listening to it.

Hot damn. Does your teacher have any interesting stories about Gerard?
What Highschool?
@A Self Called L WHEN I WAS A YOUNG BOY MY FATHER..... sorry.
@A Self Called L Yeah, Gerard's mom sent him to Belleville High School instead of a school in Newark presumably so he could get a better education as Newark is a rough place to grow up in. My orchestra teacher used to teach band too and he told me he had Gerard as a student.
What did he play?
Review “Soup” by Blind Melon. They named their band after you.
Been talking to myself more
Dysfunctional Records 2 x 4
I really did laugh out loud at this comment. And Soup is a fantastic album!
I finally feel at peace. Musically, The Black Parade always felt like a masterpiece but the god damn emo stigma always had me second guessing. Thank you melon for allowing me to lay this to rest.
The band doesn't even like that term neither
They never had anything to do with Emo. They were a rock band with a gothic horror presentation, which was easily mistaken for Emo... given that the Emo thing was at a peak during their time.
Emo’s ruin bands, they called panic! An emo band and i don’t see why
I have similar feelings. I've been a fan since not long before Parade was released, and I remember thinking 'this is so huge, it'll change rock'... it did, but not without being absolutely smashed by many (elitists?) that would dismiss the band simply on the grounds of them being associated with the term emo, which alright, I get it, emo was a rather obnoxious thing most of the time and even though I was a fan of MCR I never wanted to be associated with it either, but at the same time it was insanely unfair for the band. They're only being recognized as the quality, imaginative band that they were/are now, as oppossed to just by fans, and it's been 14 years since release. Oops, a tedtalk.
MemesAreDreams because emo was very popular at that time , basically every band that came out was considered emo, three cheers and the black parade was still listenable to this day, atleast in my opinion, compared to other emo songs
Anthony, I know you've been getting a lot of racism accusations recently, but there really is no need to refer to this album as "the parade of colour"
"WHITE! BOI! WHITE! BOI!"
Rowan Jeffree Godtier comment sire
It's nice to see this much praise for this project. I can't listen to it too much anymore, my friend listened to this in the depths of her own fight with cancer, and when she beat it, we would blast it as a reminder that she won. 4 months later, a rapid onset of leukemia killed her. I love this whole album, but welcome to the black parade hits a little different when you sing it as you lower a 21 year old in her sparkly casket she picked at 15. Thank you for the review, it reminds me of all the good times we had.
I'm so sorry this happened to you. It sounds awful and I can't imagine anything embodying the entire vibe of this album and this band more than your story.

Disenchanted was originally going to be cut from the album. However it was saved at the last second by the bassist Mikey Way who urged the band to keep it.
IMO it’s the best track on the album as it packs a massive punch and is absolutely crushing - as the main character comes to the final stages of accepting his fate and doing so feeling absolutely bitter.
While I would hope no one here would ever face a situation like an early death - I think there are many moments in life where you have to accept a fate you aren’t happy about, and it’s not always a “happy” acceptance, and often is one of a bitter nature. Even if you eventually move on past it. The song captures that feeling of helplessness that I don’t think most songwriters want to talk about.
Musically it’s incredible. The lyrics sting with every turn. The chorus flies high emotionally and crashes down. It’s catchy as hell. Easily the most underrated track on the record, and was my personal favorite back when this album originally released.
Nice to see MCR finally get some love. I’ve noticed over the last 10 years more and more people realizing they love their music. Even those that hated them at the time they were popular.
I think Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge - while not as great - has a ton of amazing songs. “The ghost of You” and “Thank You for the Venom” are awesome.
And while Danger Days was hit and miss it also had some great moments. They are overall just a really solid band that is totally worth remembering.
honestly i think three cheers is underrated... i like it more than black parade, but that's not to discredit it! tbp was THE turning point and it's an amazing fucking album, i could go on and on. im just very passionate about this band and i guess i relate to the grimey sounding, "unprofessional" earlier stuff like bullets, but three cheers was a more cleaned up version of their heaviness. i just love it so much.
Disenchanted is probably my favourite song of all time, period. Idk what it is about it, I can't really explain it but somehow it makes me nostalgic and longing for a youth I never had (even though i am still in my youth)
*brad taste wants to know your location*
"I think there are many moments in life where you have to accept a fate you aren’t happy about"
"The song captures that feeling of helplessness that I don’t think most songwriters want to talk about."
This is EXACTLY why it's perfect where it is, because it captures that emotion perfectly. Didn't know it almost didn't make the cut. Glad it did, it's important.
Disenchanted is in my top 3 songs of all time, easily
This has probably the first album I listened to front and back and fell in love with. It blows my mind how much of the Black Parades overall message went over people's heads tbh. The music videos and some lyrics were pretty straight forward. I may have moved on to a lot more heavier and nastier music, but this album always has a place in my heart as one of my all time favorites and don't care what anyone says.
can relate, my first album to listen to as well as long with Evanescence's album, the one that contains bring me to life, which I can't even recall the name
Same, I got the CD for Christmas back in 2006 after having heard Welcome to the Black Parade on some music list program on TV. It was the first album I owned and where my interest in music really got its start.
hey there man, would you be kind as recommending some of this heavier, nastier music for me 2 check out?
It's cool seeing how other people share my experience on this. I remember hearing Black Parade on the radio as a kid and it stuck with me. I seeked it out when i was a bit older, decided to downloaded and the album. Listened to it twice in a row with my mouth hanging open XD

Right?!!by far their best and noone talks about it ever
@@Myfukinusername I mean to be fair, melon talked alot about black parades changes to their earlier sound so their first album isnt entirely relevant.
As much as I love Bullets (it has some of my favourite lyrical work), Gerard Way's vocals were still untrained and rough around the edges. Does it deserve more attention? Sure. But I can certainly see why some people don't really like it compared to the rest of the discography.
My personal favorite song off that album is Demolition Lovers

MCR was my favorite band from 2009 to maybe 2016 and going back I'm pleased to say their stuff holds up
This album literally got me into music. I remember my friend letting me borrow his copy and i used to just sit in my room everyday after school just blasting this record on repeat till i finally got a copy burned. This album means so much to me I can't even describe it.
He actually did it, the absolute madman.
Kind of wish he talked about their first album as well.
Ikr it’s my favorite for sure
I no like it tho
Reviewed never take the time to listen to the discography of the less famous works to get a sense of the path of development.
In an interview with MCR they said that The End. was actually heavily inspired by Pink Floyd's In The Flesh? off The Wall. It's very easy to see the similarities.
And Mama has direct ties to The Trial
I said the same. I don't hear David Bowie influences in that song at all. It was clearly modeled after "In the Flesh?".
@@CatLives9 it literally has the exact same chords
I hear similarities between the end and bowie's five years
It literally has the same chords and also the “five years” chant by backing vocals followed by the lead singer is the same as the “save me” chant.
I’m glad to have this record as a starting point of my music taste
Same here
t heard it when I was around 14 and formed my love for more modern music and not just 90s songs and prior music that my parents or the radio made me listen to
I was obsessed with this album as a 12-year-old, when it first came out. My 65-year-old grandfather (rest his soul) also LOVED it. It was a really strange connection between us. He was a folk rock lovin' ex-vietnam vet, listening to my favorite emo album.
That's cute, love that for you
"Famous Last Words" is one of my top ten favorite songs of all time. It's gotten me through many, many, dark times in my life. My only problem with it is that the songs can sometimes mush together. I only buy vinyl of albums I think are a 9 or 10/10. This is probably a 9.5/10. One of my favorite albums ever.
Also the vinyl cover art and the vinyl itself are beautiful, it's definitely worth having

I'm pretty sure this review was to celebrate the fact that MCR is back babbyyyyy
I'm > 40 years old, I only heard this album for the first time about 3 years ago when I found the cd for $2 in a second hand shop. This album has no connection to my youth but this is a great album.
I felt like Teenagers sort of tied in to the childhood/teenage narrative we see in Disenchanted, almost as if the protagonist is flashing back to his own “emo middle/high school days”. Just like an “outcast” or “emo” kid, they hate and are scared of their fellow teenagers, who viciously bully them while also remaining “cogs in the machine” of the real world’s conformity and cleanliness. This (imo) is the climactic area of the album where MCR invite their teenage fans (who have not lived anything close to a full life) to identify with the narrative, saving the inspirational “Famous Last Words” for the end as a plea to be brave and choose life instead of suicide or self-harm.
Not nearly as good as their other clasic album Loveless
Period. The Black Parade is already a classic.
My initial purchase of this album is one of my favorite memories. About a year after its initial release, I picked up a CD copy from Barnes & Noble. I stopped to get some lunch in the food court of the mall the store was attached to, and a couple of scene kids were standing next to me as I waited for my food. One of them saw what I had in my clear B&N bag, and he said, "Dude, you're gonna LOVE that album!" with a huge grin on his face. When I got home and listened to it, all I could think was, "He wasn't lying."
One of my favorite albums of all time.
