Album Notes
My Chemical Romance: Gerard Way (vocals); Frank Lero, Ray Toro (guitar); Mikey Way (bass guitar); Bob Bryar (drums).Additional personnel: Cheech Lero, Jamie Muhoberac, Liza Minelli, Rob Cavallo.Recording information: Eldorado Studios, Burbank, California (2006).On this ambitious 2006 outing, My Chemical Romance boldly follows in the footsteps of Green Day, both in working with producer Rob Cavallo and in taking a conceptual route (a la AMERICAN IDIOT). The result is an impressive collection of songs that finds the goth-leaning New Jersey punk-pop group transforming itself into the title's "Black Parade," a darkly clad marching band that relates the woeful tale of "the Patient," as portrayed by frontman Gerard Way (who bleached his hair blond to convey the character's sickness). In addition to bringing--believe it or not--the equally dramatic and eye-liner-loving Liza Minelli on board for a guest appearance, My Chemical Romance proves its theatrical mettle by moving from the melancholy grandeur of "Welcome to the Black Parade," which bears an undeniable Queen influence, to "Cancer," an emotive piano-driven ballad. Lifted by its lush, inventive arrangements and Way's dynamic vocal performances, THE BLACK PARADE effectively stakes its claim as the SGT. PEPPER'S of the brooding Myspace set, and secures My Chemical Romance's shadowy space in rock history.

Editorial Reviews
4 stars out of 5 -- [T]he best mid-Seventies record of 2006, a rabid, ingenious para-phrasing of echoes and kitsch from rock's golden age of bombast.Spin (p.95) - 4 stars out of 5 -- It's a savage, heartfelt, at times hilarious goth-mosh emopera...Entertainment Weekly (p.70) - [U]plifting, ambitious, and at times riotously enjoyable....Pristinely produced by regular Green Day collaborator Rob Cavallo, this album is not just the band's most adventurous, but also its best. -- Grade: A-Q (p.147) - 3 stars out of 5 -- [T]hey've concocted a startlingly ambitious concept album, complete with Queen-inspired solos, windswept piano ballads and Sgt Pepper-style vaudeville.Mojo (p.110) - 3 stars out of 5 -- A record riddled with blood-soaked riffs, morbid lyricism and the biggest of conceptual game plans...Alternative Press (p.179) - What's really engaging is that THE BLACK PARADE is a concept album about death, yet even the most weepy sentiments are delivered with a swagger, a blistering guitar lead or a joyful, bouncy cadence.Kerrang (Magazine) (p.10/14/2006) - [W]hen THE BLACK PARADE reveals its secrets to you, you'll be dazzled by its brilliance.

From an artistic perspective, this album is fantastic! In terms of the song writing and performance it would be very hard to surpass!! however the choice of theme and lyrics of many if not all of the songs is questionable. Lyrics are very dark and sinister, throwing up negative issues such as death/dying, hell, suicide etc. If anyone has ever told you that you're emotionally unstable, or you've suffered/surring depression this probably isn't the best album for you. Otherwise, buy it now and enjoy!!! listen to with caution

We love it! We think its awesome!
Who are we? - A 45 year old ageing rocker into Led Zeppelin and a 10 year old son into Green Day.
I guess there will be many other ages who agree.
Powerful lyrics and powerful music!

My son very happy and knows most of the words to sing at full tilt everywhere he goes. He went by word of mouth & checking tracks on UTube bugged me till we found it. catchy thing so as a parent I can live with it when he plays. I like that the lyrics are more erudite than many bands - sneak teaching of poetry.
