I’d consider this first album by MCR their weakest. Although there are hints of the genius to come, the overall effect is marred by excessive screeching. I still can’t decide whether it’s worth purchasing or not.

I’m not an MCR fan by any means. Quite the contrary, I have a rather strong distaste for emo music. However, I have to admit, these kids have definitely got some talent. It’s good to listen to when I’m not in the best mood, and Headfirst for Halos is a damn good song.
