The Black Parade
$13.98
You've always been told not to listen to the little teenage girls and their opinion on music, but in this case the girls are right. This CD is amazing! I am a MCR fan and have been for a long time, I am the same age as the band members and it seemed like their lives on CD changed and bore a strange resemblance to what I was going though at the time. It was uncanny. I would swear they had been reading my thoughts! You don't have to be a firkin teenager to like great music. Music has no age limit people, remember that. If someone tells you listening to MCR or anyone else you like is stupid because teenagers like them, they are completely music retarded and close minded. After you punch them in the face, you should just walk away, knowing that crap doesn't matter! Ok don't hit anyone, but you know you feel like it sometimes.LOL Sorry not a big category popularity contest person.:) And I hate it when others tell me what I should be listening to, instead of just saying "hey, not my cup of tea"...(sighs)(I had a moment, it over now, promise.;))

Anyway, I digress... The Black Parade is a concept CD that has had much praise, but not nearly what it deserves! I fear that people think they are some teeny bopper crap band like AFI or Fallout Boy. Unfortunately, They hit the height of their Popularity during the moments that those bands were coming out, so they got looped into a stereotype by people that hadn't heard them, but had heard of them and what they had heard was, that MCR one of those one hit wonder crap bands.(Run-on sentence much?? LOL) I promise you that is far from the truth. The Black Parade is there most "grown up" CD by far, which makes since as they are more grown up.LOL This CD has something for everyone that enjoys good rock music. It has aspects of Queen,Kiss,Bowie,and even Meatloaf.LOL When I say Meatloaf, I think more like the constant changes in the music and moods on the CD. It's a rollercoaster of emotion. Hard Rock, Classic Rock, Punk Rock, Pop Rock are some of the "Categories" I think people can identify with when choosing to listen to this CD. It's got it all! The musicianship is brilliant! Songs Like Momma make me think of Les Miserable's.(Broadway) Like I said it has everything. I highly recommend this CD to anyone who has good taste in music. And if you claim to have good taste and don't own & love this CD, then I truly believe you are music retarded.;)
The moral to the story... check it out!

I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love
$13.98
This album is an incredible record.

The story of MCR is that Gerard Way, the lead singer, saw the 9/11 events going on and saw people falling from the Twin Towers. He realized after this that he had to do something with his life, instead of drawing cartoons for people all day, which he was doing for work. He started My Chemical Romance with Matt Pelissier and Ray Toro, with Pelissier on drums and Toro on guitar. They recorded a demo and handed it out to a few people, while looking for a bassist. Gerard's younger brother, Mikey, played bass and after hearing the demo, decided to join. Among the people that got the demo were the members of Pencey Prep. After playing a few shows, My Chemical Romance signed to Eyeball Records, a local record label. After Pencey Prep broke up, the lead singer/guitarist Frank Iero joined MCR as the rhythm guitarist, and the band headed into the studio. Even though Iero hadn't composed anything for My Chem at this point, he did add some parts to "Demolition Lovers" and "Early Sunsets Over Monroeville".

Thus, My Chemical Romance was born.

To tell the truth, this review is very biased. It's biased because this is the record that saved my life, and turned it to music. About four years ago, I was incredibly depressed and didn't know what I wanted to do with my life. I didn't have any friends at school and I was starting to do stupid things to get what I wanted, like stealing money and food and pretty much whatever I wanted. I stole this CD and a Plain White T's one as well, and started listening to them both. My sister liked the PWT's, so she stole it from me and I had no choice but to listen to I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love. I could mosh to "Honey..." before I knew what moshing was, and I was hypnotized by the time that "Vampires Will Never Hurt You" was on.

After that, comes "Drowning Lessons", which has a great guitar riff and makes Ray Toro look like Slash. Then comes "Our Lady of Sorrows," one of the first MCR songs, and my personal favorite. The great lyrics and metal/punk riffs will stick in your head until you are thinking My Chemical Romance all day. After comes the first "emo" song by My Chemical Romance, called "Headfirst for Halos", which is a pop-punk song about a kid that's messed up and takes different pills to get different highs and thinks about suicide. It's very catchy and if you aren't humming/singing "Our Lady of Sorrows" then you will definitely be singing "Headfirst for Halos". After "Halos" is "Skylines and Turnstiles", the first MCR song that Gerard wrote to get over 9/11, and show everyone how he intended the band to be like.

The two most beautiful songs on the record are definitely "Early Sunsets Over Monroeville" and "Demolition Lovers", which are both slow and melodic symphony-like pieces. They're both about two lovers that run away from their former lives, from the nightmares that they use to have to confront on a day to day basis, and the promise to shoot the other in the heart should they turn into a vampire. They're great songs and if you're an emotional person you'll end up crying. The songs in between are "Cubicles" and "This is the Best Day Ever", both like "Drowning Lessons", with great guitar riffs and catchy drums and memorable vocals that will not get My Chemical Romance off your mind. I promise, this record will either save your life or make it better. At least listen to it on Myspace, so you can say that you've heard it. Then buy it, because it is very much worth it. It's so much worth it that after I stole it, I looked for it at FYI and bought it as well, after returning the library's copy. You will not regret buying this album.
