Dec 16, 2011Unique, catchy, and still staying true to their style many have loved since they began. Their songs are meaningful, sombre, and written and performed to perfection.
-
JordanNov 1, 2006After their 2004 hit "Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge", My Chemical Romance return with one of the best albums of the year. Who says a story of a dying boy cant be enjoyable? It is uplifting, ambitious and ingenius. Download: "Disenchanted", "Teenagers", and "Famous Last Words"

Aug 24, 2011In this journey of death my chemical romance comes off stronger than they did in three cheers or I brought you my bullets you brought me your love. With some of their best songs including welcome to the black parade and disenchanted this is a must have album and one of the best albums of the decade 10 out of 10
-
Jun 28, 2012Great follow up to 2004's Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge and the band are as good as ever, producing a fantastic album full of great songs with catchy lyrics and is one of few albums where I love every song.
As an MCR fan I loved this album and would recommend it to any MCR fan or rock fan in general. -

May 10, 2013This is the most outstanding album I own and that I have ever heard. This is MCR's finest effort. Every single song on this album is incredible, deep, thoughtful, masterful and magical. This is the album against which I compare all others. If I was stuck on a desert island and could only have one CD, The Black Parade would be my choice.
-
Nov 22, 2013A lot of people have compared this album to Green Day's American Idiot, and it's not hard to see why. However, that doesn't necessarily mean that it's a ripoff, because that it is not.

Jul 20, 2016This album is my favorite of my chemical romance by far. It has my favorite songs of MCR. This album is greatness just plain greatness. I love the black parade.
-
Nov 26, 2011Amazing album with dark and deep lyrics that live up to MCR's "emo" label but it also has that fast pased exciting rebellious punk sound that makes the dark theme of The Black Parade come alive. Possibly my favorite MCR album.
-
willJJul 5, 2009Amazing. Pure genius. The best album of the decade and the best band to emerge in the past twenty years.
-
-
Sep 25, 2010The best album i've seen. The lyrics, rythm, voice, guitar solos, etc... all in this album is perfect. Amazing. Pure genius.[2]
Three Cheers for Sweet Revange is good, but The Black Parade is the best album of My Chemical Romance. -
Nov 24, 2010One of the Best bands of our time!!The words and emotions really captures you. If you didnt enjoy this album you just dont have a heart. If this doesnt make you love this genre of music then nothing will!!
-
Apr 26, 2012A definite guilty pleasure of mine. This was MCR's "conceptual" album, and honestly, I thought it was brought out nicely. A nice blend of happiness and melancholy makes this a great album. Way to go.

JosephT.May 9, 2007HELLO PEOPLE!!! JUST BECAUSE AN ALBUM STRIKES YOUR FANCY DOESN'T MEAN IT DESERVES A '10' -- TRY TO BE MORE ACCURATE TO YOUR INTELLIGENCE AND TRY TO GIVE SOME ALBUMS '7' '8' or EVEN '9' AND SAVE YOUR '10s' FOR SOMETHING TRULY INGENIOUS, OK?

FrankTOct 25, 2006I don't want to like MCR, and I've never been moved to listen to them, but I gave "Welcome to the Black Parade" a spin and was floored. Bought the record and it's really impressive. Just a GREAT album.
-
-
EnriqueROct 25, 2006Wow! An excellent album by My Chemical Romance! It's pure rock n roll from the first to the last song! It must be the best record of the year for sure...and Liza Minelli sings on "Mama"! No more words... Simply great...
-
-
JesseSOct 25, 2006What a surprise--I barely noticed this band before. Exhileratingly creepy. Negative reviews tend to snub theatricality. Like there's something very uncool about it. Maybe there is.

AlliecNov 14, 2006Such an amazing record, each song has such meaning behind it, it's empowering and opens your eyes to such things. A Great listen for those long bus rides, gives you a chance to think about each song.
-

ErikaCNov 14, 2006The Black Parade is the best of bolth bullets and revenge. This album stands out because, the lyrics are somewhat gloomy while still making the person who is listing to it feel optimistic. The amazing instrumental in the songs are marvelous, mixed with the vocals it is one of their most amazing albums ever.

JohnB.Oct 24, 2006Reminiscent of Green Day's "American Idiot," but more ambitious. It overreaches itself at times, but overall an excellent record.
-
-
FreddyFOct 25, 2006CLASSIC album. They have far reached what I think anyone thought they could do. TEENAGERS and MAMA are instant classics. Who ever gives it a 2 definitely hasn't heard or given the album a chance and is just biased against the bands for no reason, except for being a critical D*ck. Pretty much discredits them. This album is a MUST PICK UP!!!!! I applaude MCR vision.

M88Oct 26, 2006I'm not a fan of this "type" of music. But i find this album extremely addictive. And to say this band's new cd is just "emo-pop" is kind of a cop-out.

coreysOct 26, 2006two glaring omissions from everyone's "spot the influences". cheap trick and the marvelous 3. nobody writes a hook like cheap trick and the marvelous three is just as underrated. just like "american idiot". don't think too hard about it, just enjoy it. it's rock n roll.

MaxLOct 27, 2006I have to say that I am a little surprised at the quality of this album. I wasn't a fan of their last record, but they poished themselves silly on this one. It's really quite fun, and at times, a little beautiful. And really, this is rarely the sort of thing I like. I'm shocked.
