The Black Parade

[Tarheels.]

I got the cd after school and to me its much better than Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge. Who's gotten it so far and what do you think of it?

I've not got the CD yet, but I loved the two songs I've heard. Welcome to the Black Parade and another which was on the radio, I believe it has the word Heaven in the title.. or maybe not.

Miles better than the stuff on 3 Cheers.

Grr, I couldn't escape the discussion on this CD today at school if I tried. I'll download it at some point, I suppose, but I still am coming in it with low expectations.

[YI]

Heard it a few days ago. It fucking sucks.

[ROC]

On another note, isn't the CD called just The Black Parade?

The song is called Welcome, on the CD I believe.

My Chemical Romance is easily the most overbashed band in music today. If they would have hit it big before the emo craze, people wouldn't even be associating them with that genre.

I agree with Zero.

My Chemical Romance are a very good band, IMHO. They know how to write a good tune and are ages better than most of the shit on the radio.

I downloaded the new album and it is decent. These guys are branching out into different styles/influences and definitely have the integrity to keep making some good music.

[Tarheels.]

Yeah it is called The Black Parade ^_^

I think the new album is an easy candidate for Album of the Year. It ranks right up there for me alongside "The Sufferer and the Witness" from Rise Against and "Black Holes & Revelations" from Muse. My Chemical Romance is taking a huge risk on this album by creating something as layered as this and quite honestly, this intelligent; it could easily turn away their younger audience for going way over their heads. I mean, it's obvious they've been listening to a lot of Queen lately, but maybe if more bands were doing that, music wouldn't suck so fucking bad right now.

Music only sucks if you aren't looking in the right places.

Tangent, but one worth pointing out IMO.

Mainstream music. I shouldn't have to scour the Earth to find a band that I might like. It was only 10-15 years ago where mainstream music was Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam, STP, Smashing Pumpkins, etc. I want those kind of days back.

Yeah, but it isn't as if you need to scour the Earth these days to find good bands, what with the internet, p2p's, discussions board, torrents, and the ilk.

Sure, I'd love "good" music on the radio, but since I don't listen to it anyway, I'm not too fussed.

[ROC]

Yeah, I actually thought about that back in the day and while perhaps nostalgia dilutes things, grunge era rock and some of the late 90s rock was so much better than the current rock on the radio.

[apsham]

I'm sure there were people back then who didn't like that style of music, why, that might even be why another style is in the mainstream right now!

Yeah, that goes to Dog Problems from The Format. (Y)

Yeah, that goes to Dog Problems from The Format. (Y) Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly's "Chronicles Of A Bohemian Teenager"

[ROC]

Wow, this album does kind of sort of suck hard. Album of the Year it is not especially when Return to Cookie Mountain and The Information (not to mention the aforementioned Black Holes and Revelations) came out in the same year.
