My Chemical Romance frontman Gerard Way has alternately described his band's third album as "completely over the top" and "borderline psychotic." But even those words can't adequately prepare fans of the group's 2004 platinum major-label debut, Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge, for the onslaught of twisted song suites, glam-rock cannon fire and drama-club theatrics that make up The Black Parade. Tracks like "Mama" and "The End" make "Bohemian Rhapsody" sound like "Blitzkrieg Bop." It's no coincidence that the disc feels as dizzyingly monumental as Green Day's American Idiot--after all, the two albums share the same label, producer, studio, janitorial team, and sense of apocalyptic dread. Similarly, The Black Parade will cast its creators in a completely new light. Despite its overly histrionic tendencies and a totally oddball cameo from Liza Minelli, it offers a clear signal that My Chemical Romance is ready to be taken seriously. --Aidin Vaziri

Album Description
The Black Parade, My Chemical Romance's follow-up to its 2004 platinum major-label debut Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge, "is way more dramatic, way more theatrical, completely over the top, borderline psychotic," says Gerard Way. "It's the most pure, intense thing we've ever been involved in." Producer by Rob Cavallo (Green Day), the album is a celebration of lvoe and death and darkness. Join The Black Parade.

Customer Reviews

Not too old to love this album
I am a 55 year old attorney and the mother of four children. My youngest son started listening to this album and I got hooked. This is the first album since the 1980's that I have enjoyed and listened to repeatedly. I even went to see the group with my son.

I urge anyone who loves this album to ask their parents to listen to it. The melodies, the words and the theme are riveting. Although all the songs are great, I particularly like "When you Go" and "Famous Last Words."

Good Album
I love the intensity of "The Black Parade" and "Famous Last Words" so I had to buy this CD. I also found that I couldn't stop listening to "I Don't Love You", and "Cancer" moved me so much that I started crying. "This is How I Disappear" is also a great track.

All in all, I enjoy this album immensely and listen to it all of the time.

The best album I have heard in a long time
TBH I had never listened to this band until a few days ago. Being 37 my tastes are more older school metal (Queensryche, older Metallica, Dream Theater etc...) with some newer stuff mixed in (HIM comes to mind.) I was looking for something new to listen to and this caught my eye. Well give it a chance. This album is excellent. My Chemical Romance has the sound of an updated Pink Floyd mixed with Queen mixed with commercial punk (ala Green Day.) Also what I enjoyed was the drummer and guitarists really pushed themselves. They worked hard on this album if that makes sense. Too many musicians today seem to take the easy way out with beats that are simple with no high hat work....little to no guitar solo's and down tuning with the same old sound. This band made the best album they could and it shows. It shows on EVERY song. If you work hard and take chances (expose yourself artistically) anything is possible...to bad more bands chose not to.
