Magical. Of course, this might not be someone's cup of tea.

Absolute masterpiece. The 'Mellon Collie' of the new millenium. For the girl who was appalled that The Black Parade was rated higher than 'Zeitgeist', have you heard 'Zeitgeist'? I loved the Smashing Pumpkins as much as anybody but when exactly did Billy Corgan forget how to write songs? I find it hard to believe that the same guy who wrote 'Today' and 'Tonight Tonight' came up with the mindless drivel that is 'Tarantula'. The Black Parade is by far the best record since Mellon Collie, only better. Mellon Collie has a few hole in it, you would be hard pressed to find a hole in The Black Parade.

Pathetic fashion rock playing to the minds of young teens and guys who think its ok to wear makeup. Songwriting is terrible. The execution is terrible and typical of something you'd see on MTV.
Joshua M gave it a0:
Absolute pop-punk filth. Cliched lyrics, annoying vocals. Talentless, soulless schlock.

There is absolutely no favoritism in this album. you'll definitely find yourself listening to the whole CD straight and skipping absolutely NOTHING. this is a must buy for new time and old time MCR fans. what the hell, this is a must buy for every single alternative rock fan on the planet! three cheers for the black parade!
Cronos A. gave it a10:
This is not only the best album of My Chemical Romance, but a true masterpiece of the whole rock scene. Prejudice isn't the most accurate way to rate an album, and this happens here. It's not the fact that MCR is an emo band or not, actually Gerard Way said that emo is shit. I think it is a before and an after "The Black Parade". You may dislike it, but it's sure this album won't be forgotten for many years, instead of that, it surely be one of the albums more representative of de decade.
Heather C. gave it a9:
Not emo at all. With things like, "I am not afraid to keep on living" it is a message of hope. Sure they are... not so good live, but the message and the album is solid. Only reason why it's not a 10 is since I could live without ever hearing mama again. ugh. if they only put out that killer b-side "Kill all your friends" (pun intended).
