WORTH CONSUMING!

MCR is a band I was hesitant to like for a while as I take pleasure in enjoying music most of my friends haven’t heard of (I’m in my 30s). However, despite an appearance on Saturday Night Live, I think you could say they’re still pretty far from mainstream.

The Black Parade is a strong, brilliant album. The song “Welcome to the Black Parade” deservedly takes center stage. Its style of several songs rolled into one reminds me of Queen’s ‘The March of the Black Queen’ and Green Day’s ‘Jesus of Suburbia.’ I’m a big fan of complex arrangements. Other standout tracks for me include ‘Teenagers’ and the theatrical ‘Mama,’ which features cameo vocals by, of all people, Liza Minnelli.

I hope MCR has staying power. I’m looking forward to more.

As a north Jersey guy, I am biased towards this band. You’ve heard of six degrees of separation? In NJ, it’s two. These dudes played in my basement 6 years ago on Halloween and I thought, wow! These guys sound much different than the other Thursday rip-off bands that play in town. They’re actually doing something NEW, and with STYLE!

Then one day I’m in the grocery store and see Gerard on the cover of teen beat magazine. Friends who I know who said they knew the guy described him as a driven guy who was destined for stardom, so I thought hells yes. That guy deserves it.

The Black Parade did not surprise me. Their sound has stayed consistent and consistently unique (re: pop punk meets thematic cabaret music meets, dare I say it, “screemo”).

I won’t be putting their posters up on my wall any time soon and judged as any other band, I’d say this album is worth a listen or two, but not many more. The dark lyrics set to circus music sometimes comes off as silly and overall, the album could rock MUCH harder than it does from start to finish.

Judging this band for the teen-pop superstars they are, I’d say the “kids today” are finally listening to something with talent, creativity and originality. When Gerard yells, “Teenagers scare the living shit out of me,” he means you. The world needs more bands like My Chem.

This is most definately the best album to come from My Chemical Romance. Theatrical, wonderfully written lyrics, amazing work of musical elements. Everything is wonderful about this album. It has a big WOW factor. It’s one of the few albums where you can see a story unfolding before you very eyes, when you listen to it.

With an exception to Gerard Way’s new haircut, absolutely everything about this band is awesome!

It’d be a sin to miss it.

Three Cheers for My Chemical Romance.
