It's one of the bet albums so far, but behind The Black Parade and Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge.

Let up off all of the swears, which are present in almost every song, and it's great.

You must know Green Day. They've been here for quite some time now.

Green Day is a really good band, with the classic PUNK written all over the band. It's got more energy than a battery, and vocalist Billie Joe Armstrong has the unique pseudo-British accent that's really a pull-off against other bands.

On par with MCR, though???? Let's see....

Chicosci Rock/Pop

One thing I like about Chicosci is that they adore MCR. But that's it. I did like their re-release of their self-titled album, but that's not much. I only liked Chicosci Vampire Social Club, and that's it.

Being a Filipino, I must say Chicosci is just one of the , may I say, 'poseurs' in this world.

Hindi sa ayaw ko sila. Pero, hindi ko sila gusto.

Album Review

The Black Parade My Chemical Romance
""
It starts with a song called "The End.", which suggestively tells that there's a dying man called "The Patient". It then ends with "Famous Last Words", which tells how the Patient died. Then, after Famous Last Words, a hidden track starts, called "Blood", which suggests that the Patient didn't die after all.

It's one of these great story twists that make The Black Parade such an awesome little album and what you could call a "rock gem". With songs like "Cancer", "Disenchanted" and "I Don't Love You" tailing along the hard-rocking tracks of the album, it's got a whole more variety into it. It tells the story of a dying man called "The Patient". The story goes with the Patient having cancer and dying because of it, and then The Black Parade welcomes him.

My Chemical Romance really does an awesome job. Following their multi-million hit second album, The Black Parade trails hot on its heels. A really great album, if you ask me.

Such notable songs are "Cancer", "I Don't Love You", "Disenchanted", "Dead", "Famous Last Words" and all others in the album.

It's got that melodic tunes, that rocked-out guitar solos, and thud-thud-thudding drums, not to mention the energetic vocals.

That's enough blabbering. What I'd like to recommend is that you listen to the album. It's one of the albums where you wouldn't get tired listening to over and over again. And that's a good thing, 'cause MCR wouldn't come out with a new album until 2009 or beyond.

It is one of the best things that ever happened. The meaningful songs the album contains just hits the cake. Couple it with strong guitars, heart-wrenching vocals and thud-thud-thud drums and it gets better. As a whole, Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge is definitely a masterpiece.

Signing with Reprise Records is a good thing, too. My Chemical Romance easily spread their music through a large record label.

As it suggestively goes, this record continues the story present in I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love. The whole story is cut short, though, as the album's main theme is the loss of someone you hold close. And it is true. As the opening song (an second single) "Helena" starts, it's about Gerard and Mikey's late grandmother, an inspiration to them.

The whole album sums it up. The Ghost of You, The Jetset Life Is Gonna Kill You, I'm Not Okay(I Promise) and generally all other songs on the album really, really is melodic and meaningful.

Yes. The real deal. MCR's best. It's one of those rock gems that's for the keeps. Powerful vocals, thunderous drums and extremely hard-strummed guitars really pull this up. This is one which will stand the test of time.

In the end, the real reason why it's great is because it's been recorded by the best band, My Chemical Romance. And it's on the best record label, Reprise Records.

This is one of the albums that really caught me.

Oh, and by the way, MCR vocalist Gerard Way did all the artwork. Pretty neat, huh?

Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge is really sweetm and a diamond among all other rock albums.
