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.

Summary: The Dark Parade
Comment: This is a very provacative work. I have been listening to it nonstop for weeks. I love it. MCR is a great band and I will be waiting for their next endeavor eagerly!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Very moving.
Comment: This CD reminds me of that choked up feeling you get when you listen to Queen and you feel like the music is bigger than yourself. It really is beautiful, and passionate, and makes you feel alive. Epic.

Summary: What made MCR.
Comment: I thought that this album would just be the same as the others but wow was it different! It was slightly like other songs in the way that they have taken bits of them to improve there old songs but I am not saying that the original stuff wasn't good but it could be better. The one song i am not sure about is i don't love you. This album has slightly gone over the top with things about death and breaking hearts. But I would suggest buying this album if you liked there previous stuff.

Summary: From Aversion.Com
Comment: "My Chemical Romance's confusion of maudlin with dark, light-metal riffs with rock and overwrought teenage melodrama with substance? Lame.
The replacement of its signature mascara-and-Hot Topic encrusted pop punk with an equal love of Styx-like prog wankery and glam-metal glossy riffs? Lame. Totally lame.
The marching-band drums, singer Gerard Way's over-pronounced delivery and fumbled attempts at epic arrangements in "Welcome to the Black Parade?" Lame.
Finding out "Cancer," the track Way tipped as the "darkest song ever," is a mere tear-jerker piano ballad that's more like Elton John's tribute to Death Be Not Proud than anything mustered by The Birthday Party, Joy Division or The Cure's Pornography? Lame.
Pretending to be The Black Parade instead of My Chemical Romance when recording this album? Lame.
The Queen-like operatic intro that opens up "Dead" and continues in "The Sharpest Lives?" Lame.
Shooting for the housewife and schoolgirl vote with a piano ballad that's the collaboration between Keane and Fall Out Boy we hope never happens in "I Don't Love You?" Lame.
The feeling you get after The Black Parade ends, when you can't figure if you just heard the worst prog-rock album ever, the worst off-Broadway soundtrack ever or the worst Goth-punk album ever? Lame.
Knowing it doesn't matter which of the three The Black Parade leans to most, as, when it's all said and done, over-the-top crap is over-the-top crap no matter where it comes from? Lame."
-Matt Schild
Now, I'm not exactly a goer of this website (I really don't care about professional websites, anyway), but I thought this was an apt description. This album bites and it still warrants another hideous one star review.

Summary: Bought for 13yo Daughter
Comment: Like the other parents that have enjoyed this music because of their kids, I have to say it is very theatrical, musically progressive and fun.
Yes, there is a parental advisory but I suggest you listen first before you judge. It has a few "potty words" but nothing extreme and I don't feel its really worthy of the label like some of the current mainstream music today.
If your kids ask for this one, give it a shot- you will most likely end up enjoying it yourself.
