Call me "Johnny Come Lately", but I absolutely love this band. I haven't been really excited about new music for about ten years or so, but this band blows me away.

Their new album, "The Black Parade" is simply amazing. I realize they've been around for a couple years now, but I'm just now catching on. Their appearance on SNL last week grabbed me, but sampling the songs on iTunes hooked me.

I know this sounds like an ad for the band, but I'm truly excited about their brand of jam.

Any thoughts?

    I got home with "The Black Parade" an hour ago and am finding it unsuspectedly good. I wasn't a big fan of "Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge," and I was a bit suspicious of TBP because of all the hype. I mean, Blender called it an instant classic so all is up for speculation. But yeah, it's proving to be a pretty decent listen.

    It sounds like MCR is moving from the pop/punk/screamo/what ever you want to label it territory to full on rock 'n roll band.

    Is it just me or the lead singer is looking like a cross beween Billy Corgan and Annie Lennox?

    i saw them last year in concert and they sucked live. i think their theatrics distract from their lack of live ability. i dont really care for their sound, but i do respect the band. better than this panic at the disco bullshit

    what i hate even more than this band or people who "respect" this band are the people who refer to them as "my chem." i wanna stab them in their eyes.

    Teenager off of Black Parade is a really good song. It will be all over the radio in a few weeks.

    LMAO! Wasn't there a thread a couple weeks back about these guys? This band is pure shite. I still cannot understand how anyone in their right mind can listen to or endorse this shitty crap. Pure shit. THey will probably be huge too. Thats the sad thing.

    Probably; so everyone do your bit for society and break a radio.

    Seriously though, fair enough if people like them, who am i to tell people they are crap?

    I personally cant stand them though.
    People say im paranoid. Well, they dont say it, but i know that's what they are thinking.

    yes we understand. they're emo screaming emo's..or were.

    mcr gets a bad rep just like every other really popular band that is actually good because theres alot of tasteless people who like them....but they really are a good band!!!

    they're last album was really emo..but it was great. this album is just pure rock and is even better.

    they even make fun of their emo fans in their songs.

    say what you want but this is one of the best albums in a long time
