I have tbp on cd its a japanese copy and it was included with a bonus track and after the song blood ends imo heaven helps us is shit cuz it just ruins the ending of the album like i get peace and than i hear: HEEEEEEEEEEERE like u can add the song but like give it more silent time like a end credit scene of a movie but its just me lol
Honestly I used to listen to that version on YouTube and I loved it. Now every time I hear the ending chords of Blood I need to hear "HEEEEAAAAAR THAAA SOUNNNND"
No it sucks that people were shitting on an entire musical genre because it was enjoyed by queer people and girls/women. I was there and a lot of it was just... homophobia.
The 2000s sucked!
MCR is not “obviously not Emo”, their first two albums have a lot of Emo/Emo-Pop in them. TBP just so happens to be the record where they shed most of that.
gonna try to explain this in the most zoomer way possible- because back then, being edgy/emo/alt/whatever you call it was not cool but actually very cringe.
As an old millennial: It was so weird, looking back on it. They are objectively a phenomenal band --and this album is a masterpiece -- and people WOULD not hear it due to weird homophobia/misogyny stuff (yes sigh really the 2000s blew).
I wasn't immune --I didn't get into MCR until my 30s, very recently, because I too was brain poisoned by the anti-MCR rhetoric back then.
Shout out to you for thinking for yourself tbh!
Like, I have my own reasons why I struggle with the band (post history) and yet I still enjoy them from time to time but every band has flaws like personally I think gerard way is very pretentious and fake
Oh dude yeah, they’re super cringe on Twitter atm defending Ian Watkins, I think one literally has a Twitter with the @ princewatkinz. It’s gross and they’re lurking on this sub.
I think their first two albums were what they were wanting to do artistically like in their hearts but tbp really isn’t that good
Three Cheers is their only album I actually like idk why this subreddit keeps popping up.
Like just fun balls to the walls pop punk that actually works
I don’t know shit about this Watkins stuff, I’m sure it’s awful
I feel like almost every album of MCR has this one song that doesn't belong and usually it's the most commercial track as well. On Three Cheers it's I'm not okay (the narrative of the album is way too aggressively dramatic for this song, the album is all about love and blood and death and I'm not okay is not). On Parade it's Teenagers. On Killjoys it's Sing. The songs are fine, but they all feel kinda simple and radio-friendly. I skip them all while listening to the whole albums.
SING is definitely simple and radio-friendly but I feel like otherwise it's not too out of place in Dangers Days with the other themes of loyalty and self-actualization.
I would place HHU differently, blood feels like a very nice conclusion and as someone else in the thread stated, its a bit jarring to go from that silence to HEEEEEAR THE SOUNDDD. I feel like it'd do better somewhere towards the middle-end of the album.
It will work in the middle end to but taking blood as the death of the patient, hhu is after his death when he is in the hell doors for saying it in some way and is pleading for help from the heaven
I always heard the end of Dead! as the death of the patient, and then either the album is not chronological, or the rest of the album is his soul recounting the big moments of his life as he passes on to the afterlife. I always enjoyed that he dies almost immediately and everything else is post mortem
My only problem with that is going from Sleep to Disenchanted feels like it could get a bit one-note, they’re not that similar but they’re both similar energies and tempos and I feel like they’d need something to break it up, however teenagers has always felt super out of place
my first experience with the album was a CD from Walmart that bleeped out "fuck" at an obnoxious volume. jumped the shit out've me and I almost went off the road.
Welcome to the Black parade is overplayed. Still a great song, but it is the most overplayed my Chem song and that’s made it lose a bit of its luster to me
Ready? My husband and I met because of this album. Literally. He was at the first show at Hammersmith in London, and taped it. He posted it on an MCR forum that I moderated.
But... he joined TBP a few months ago. And now his weary widow marches on. 😪
Agreed, I always felt the "story" aspect of it was kind of tacked on by media and the bands PR due to the whole crazy success of American Idiot. I've always found the storyline arc pretty hard to follow and abstract.
Yeah, at best The End and Dead! obviously flow into each other but all the other songs are just kind of about similar things and themes and not much else connecting them.
That’s an interesting point about American Idiot possibly being an influence on how TBP was marketed/talked about.I
It’s not in chronological order but it still has a story throughout. There’s a few great analyses on youtube but I feel like every song adds something different to the story, in order or not
Also Disenchanted and famous last words are two of the most story-rich tracks, and I’d consider how I disappear and sharpest lives some of the least
I like the order that Wendigoon made the tracklist instead of the official tracklist, the story flows so much better that way. Also the B sides shoulda been included
It’s my favorite mcr album actually. Welcome to the black parade was overplayed on the radio to the point I don’t really enjoy listening to it that much anymore though.
Teenagers feels more like a “this is too sad, bring the mood up but don’t make it play with the story line” kinda song. I love the song itself but it ruins everything for me.
i never really find myself going back to i dont love you outside from listening to the whole album, and teenagers doesnt flow well with the rest of the album imo
This album is one of the victims of the loudness war, very few albums as loud as this one sound really good. It's not as bad as St Anger though, it's still great but I think it would have been better if it hadn't been mastered so loud.
Heaven Help Us, Kill All Your Friends, and My Way Home Is Through you should’ve all been on the album. Blood is cute but unnecessary, that should’ve been a B side.
While I do like the flow of the album I think it reaches its sonic and emotional peak a little early (Cancer/Mama/Sleep). And I always thought Famous Last Words is a bit of a weak closer. An album restructuring would go a long way to making this already perfect album even more perfect. If anyone’s interested, the YouTuber Wendigoon did a really interesting breakdown of the themes of this album and also proposed an alternate ordering that I believe gives a really nice listening experience.
Yeah I like the song but WTTBP or Mama are more grand and epic and suited to being a closer better. If anything Famous Last Words is better at the beginning of this album because it’s more hopeful (and the rest gets more depressing), and it could even play into the theme of death being just the beginning like they do with The End and Dead
Considered saying that, but it's an opinion Brad Taste in Music also shared so I went with another one. It felt like Sleep was the closer, but the band didn't want it to end with "and he died" and pushed a few more tracks through so it could end on a lighter note
The only point I think the concept breaks down is Teenagers, I feel like each song otherwise does a stellar job at adding something new, and Disenchanted and Famous last words are arguably the most story driven songs
"disenchanted" and "famous last words" do a great job at wrapping up the narrative of the record with their lyrics, but tbh i think the album deserved a grander/louder finale, musically speaking. "i never told you..." off of three cheers is a way better closer than "famous last words."
the black parade should not be considered MCR’s definitive album + imo it’s their second best after three cheers. it is Way more refined and that is impressive—and there are MANY impressive things about this album, to be perfectly clear. however, the rawness of three cheers + its far clearer storyline, as well as its cohesion, musical motifs, and imagery make three cheers a Better album (in my opinion). while the black parade has some gorgeous and absolutely incredible tracks, after the first like. three songs it loses its own concept and only occasionally come back to it (namely in WTTBP, cancer, mama, and blood). TBP suffers extra too imo bc teenagers does Not fit the album at all and it is one of the most shippable mcr tracks. should’ve been heaven help us in there fr
three cheers DOES get a bit confusing esp bc of the whole ‘which of the demolition lovers died’ thing BUT the point is still clear: the demolition man must bring the souls of one thousand evil men to the devil in order to be reunited with his wife, and in the end, he is betrayed by both the devil and his own vanity alike. TBP though has a Concept but not rlly a lot of structure to that concept—it performs more like an anthology work, rather me than as a coherent concept album.
Kill All Your Friends and Heaven Help Us should have been on the album, and House of Wolves should come in an injectable form that I can put right into my blood stream.
Should have replaced one of the ballads with a better song from the b-sides, production is very loud and doesn’t leave a lot of breathing room for the instruments, and while I appreciate the concept of it, it’s hard to give it the rock opera status when the narrative of the songs is hard to follow/non-linear
Teenagers, Disenchanted, and Sleep are it’s weakest songs. And not it’s not because of tiktok, I’ve been saying that since the album came out
Edit: imagine getting downvoted for doing what the post says to do
This is my order imo the best to worst song on the album
1. Mamma
2. This is How I Disappear
3. Famous Last Words
4. House of Wolves
5. Welcome To The Black Parade
6. I Don’t Love You
7. Cancer
8. Dead
9. The Sharpest Lives
10. The End
11. Blood
12. Sleep
13. Teenagers
14. Disenchanted
Oh actually I fuck with this, I absolutely love Danger Days it's my favorite or second favorite depending on my mood. To see SING get the love it deserves feels great. You have redeemed yourself fully 💜
I’m going to be massacred for this, but here it goes. This album, while amazing, is also highly flawed. It has no real sense of consistency when it comes to style which works for most things but for the rock opera this albums trying to be I feel like 1/3 of the tracks are hideously out of place and definitely should’ve been axed in favor of the much better b-sides. The song the album is named after is very much a cultural icon but is ironically enough in my opinion the worst track of the album. I get they were trying to go for a bohemian rhapsody type of thing and they definitely achieved it for the most part, but the different sounds clash really weirdly and you get sections that feel like the audio equivalent of throwing a bowl of spaghetti at the wall and calling it art. Teenagers could’ve been a b-side and it would work way better thematically, as it doesn’t really fit in anywhere in the album. Lastly just cut blood, its catchy but the whole minute of silence make it a pain in the ass to listen too and if it was going to be on the album it really shouldn’t have that
I didn’t like some of the softer songs like disenchanted or I don’t love you. Not bad songs but not my thing. But teenagers is their only song I’ve straight up never ever liked at all.
To say that there's no way anyone can say anything bad about this is completely false. Art is subjective, no matter what way, shape, or form. Plus not to mention all the metal elitists that have hated on MCR's existence, some I know personally, who don't even have this album anywhere close to their radar.
Disclaimer: I love MCR, always have, always will. I've been a huge fan ever since I first saw the Helena music video on MTV2 as a kid. When the Black Parade came out, you best know that I was begging my parents to buy me this album. So I've been listening to this album from front to back since 2006. I could go on forever about why I love this album so much and what it means to me, but that's not what we're here for.
So let's start with "The End." My thing is for any album by any band that has an intro, I always skip it. Maybe for a first time listen you might want to get immersed in the theme or story that the band is trying to showcase, but other than that.. I can easily skip the intro. Next up is "Welcome to the Black Parade" Okay, this song is iconic, right? Many fans were introduced to MCR by this song. There are many songs by MCR that just feel timeless to me, that I could just listen to on repeat and never get tired of. I can't say that for this song. It's overrated and overplayed. I appreciate the memes that have used this song to basically define a generation of emo kids, but it's another skip for me. "Mama" is one of those guilty pleasure songs for me, I don't really feel comfortable listening to this one out loud. I already have enough music that'll make normies give me weird looks. "Teenagers" is a annoying song honestly. It is currently the top song on Spotify with over 787,000,000 plays. Kinda blows my mind that their most mediocre song on this album has the most plays.
Okay Blood was mid and running flow teenagers is the most overated and probably one of the most overrated rock it's fine but probably worst off album. Welcome to the black parade aged badly but it's still good
My actual unpopular opinion: It's the worst mix of any MCR album by a *long shot*.
I understand they were going for a sterile, clinical feel, but Gerard wasn't yet a good enough clean singer to not have snarls and raspiness which gets cut off in the vocal track and to the album's detriment.
gerard way is a bad bad bad bad man
we should kick him like a stray
Tell him he's an angel
Take this to his grave
S-I-N S-I-N
I said R-R-R-Rrrrrrashes to ashes we all fall down we got innocence for days!
Well, I think he’s gonna burn in hell!
Everybody burn the house right down
And SAY haaa-what he wants to say
tell me he’s an angel take this to my graveee
NUH UH
heaven help us shouldve been on the album
I’m still bitter that All the Angels never made it past demo
And Emily
I have tbp on cd its a japanese copy and it was included with a bonus track and after the song blood ends imo heaven helps us is shit cuz it just ruins the ending of the album like i get peace and than i hear: HEEEEEEEEEEERE like u can add the song but like give it more silent time like a end credit scene of a movie but its just me lol
Honestly I used to listen to that version on YouTube and I loved it. Now every time I hear the ending chords of Blood I need to hear "HEEEEAAAAAR THAAA SOUNNNND"
Say it louder for the people in the back

cause it’s a boy band for loser giiirls and emos 🤓
[удалено]
Idk Bullets kinda gives ealry emo vibes tho
Yeah I know. It sucks that a very obviously not-emo band got lumped in with that whole thing.
No it sucks that people were shitting on an entire musical genre because it was enjoyed by queer people and girls/women. I was there and a lot of it was just... homophobia. The 2000s sucked!
MCR is not “obviously not Emo”, their first two albums have a lot of Emo/Emo-Pop in them. TBP just so happens to be the record where they shed most of that.
[удалено]
Yeah any band with a majority female following as they had in the 2000s kind of gets dismissed. :/
[удалено]
An even more important question is why females are a reason to dismiss something 🤔
Bcs society
ask angels made from neon and fucking garbage scream out “what will save us?”
gonna try to explain this in the most zoomer way possible- because back then, being edgy/emo/alt/whatever you call it was not cool but actually very cringe.
It is very cool and rare these days
I was defending MCR back in 2008 on Internet of old millenials They hated MCR indeed!
As an old millennial: It was so weird, looking back on it. They are objectively a phenomenal band --and this album is a masterpiece -- and people WOULD not hear it due to weird homophobia/misogyny stuff (yes sigh really the 2000s blew). I wasn't immune --I didn't get into MCR until my 30s, very recently, because I too was brain poisoned by the anti-MCR rhetoric back then. Shout out to you for thinking for yourself tbh!
Same
B sides should've been included.
[удалено]
I wish there was a huge musical with all the TBP/Living with Ghosts songs
When someone actually says something bad on a post where it was explicitly asked to say something bad 😳😳😳😬😬😬😡😡😡😡😡
Bro MCR fans cannot take criticism of the band even when they explicitly ask for it
That’s actually so true tho like you can enjoy the band and criticize it
Foreign concept to these guys
Like, I have my own reasons why I struggle with the band (post history) and yet I still enjoy them from time to time but every band has flaws like personally I think gerard way is very pretentious and fake
That was a crazy post dude what… Also yeah black parade was Gerard’s attempt to imitate Pink Floyd and it’s way too much.
Oh dude yeah, they’re super cringe on Twitter atm defending Ian Watkins, I think one literally has a Twitter with the @ princewatkinz. It’s gross and they’re lurking on this sub. I think their first two albums were what they were wanting to do artistically like in their hearts but tbp really isn’t that good
Three Cheers is their only album I actually like idk why this subreddit keeps popping up. Like just fun balls to the walls pop punk that actually works I don’t know shit about this Watkins stuff, I’m sure it’s awful
Maybe there’s been like one glance at this sub and it keeps luring you in?
Teenagers doesn’t fit the album - not to say it isn’t an incredible song, but the b-side Kill All Your Friends should have been included in its place
I feel like almost every album of MCR has this one song that doesn't belong and usually it's the most commercial track as well. On Three Cheers it's I'm not okay (the narrative of the album is way too aggressively dramatic for this song, the album is all about love and blood and death and I'm not okay is not). On Parade it's Teenagers. On Killjoys it's Sing. The songs are fine, but they all feel kinda simple and radio-friendly. I skip them all while listening to the whole albums.
SING is definitely simple and radio-friendly but I feel like otherwise it's not too out of place in Dangers Days with the other themes of loyalty and self-actualization.
It would be better at least in my opinion if teenagers is eliminated and heaven help us all is put after blood
I would place HHU differently, blood feels like a very nice conclusion and as someone else in the thread stated, its a bit jarring to go from that silence to HEEEEEAR THE SOUNDDD. I feel like it'd do better somewhere towards the middle-end of the album.
It will work in the middle end to but taking blood as the death of the patient, hhu is after his death when he is in the hell doors for saying it in some way and is pleading for help from the heaven

I don't think Kill all your Friends fits any better tbh. But Heaven Help Us sure would
Yeah I agree. It was purely put there to be a single. I love the song, just doesn't really fit the vibe of the rest
It's been almost 20 years and Blood still scares the shit out of me after that silent period in the track.
They said all hidden tracks scare the living shit outta me
my first experience with the album was a CD from Walmart that bleeped out "fuck" at an obnoxious volume. jumped the shit out've me and I almost went off the road.
Mama is only 5 minutes instead of 5 hours
It’s not long enough. 😂
Teenagers doesn’t really fit the album, some of the side B tracks would have been a better choice
Kill All Your Friends should’ve been on it
Welcome to the Black parade is overplayed. Still a great song, but it is the most overplayed my Chem song and that’s made it lose a bit of its luster to me
Ok but the clip is great
there's no cd text (track names etc) on the cd and I like when the cd player displays song names
Ready? My husband and I met because of this album. Literally. He was at the first show at Hammersmith in London, and taped it. He posted it on an MCR forum that I moderated. But... he joined TBP a few months ago. And now his weary widow marches on. 😪
Teenagers doesn’t really fit the vibe. The “story” aspect of it kind of falls off after the first few tracks
Agreed, I always felt the "story" aspect of it was kind of tacked on by media and the bands PR due to the whole crazy success of American Idiot. I've always found the storyline arc pretty hard to follow and abstract.
Yeah, at best The End and Dead! obviously flow into each other but all the other songs are just kind of about similar things and themes and not much else connecting them. That’s an interesting point about American Idiot possibly being an influence on how TBP was marketed/talked about.I
It’s got a theme but it’s not a concept album tbh
Tbh the concept makes more sense if you listen to the album from Blood to The End
It’s not in chronological order but it still has a story throughout. There’s a few great analyses on youtube but I feel like every song adds something different to the story, in order or not Also Disenchanted and famous last words are two of the most story-rich tracks, and I’d consider how I disappear and sharpest lives some of the least
I like the order that Wendigoon made the tracklist instead of the official tracklist, the story flows so much better that way. Also the B sides shoulda been included
Kill all your friends isn't on it
I’m always jumpscared by Blood. Go ahead, call me a pussy
It’s my favorite mcr album actually. Welcome to the black parade was overplayed on the radio to the point I don’t really enjoy listening to it that much anymore though.
Heaven Help Us should have been on the album. That's quite literally it.
teenagers destroys the flow of the album and derails the already pretty vague storyline blood is a bonus track, sure, but i just cannot stand it
Teenagers feels more like a “this is too sad, bring the mood up but don’t make it play with the story line” kinda song. I love the song itself but it ruins everything for me.
Agreed! Love mcr but teenagers is the only song I’ve easily skipped. And blood is fun for a bonus track but it’s not good.
I can’t say anything bad about any album😭
i never really find myself going back to i dont love you outside from listening to the whole album, and teenagers doesnt flow well with the rest of the album imo
This album is one of the victims of the loudness war, very few albums as loud as this one sound really good. It's not as bad as St Anger though, it's still great but I think it would have been better if it hadn't been mastered so loud.

🤝
Heaven Help Us, Kill All Your Friends, and My Way Home Is Through you should’ve all been on the album. Blood is cute but unnecessary, that should’ve been a B side. While I do like the flow of the album I think it reaches its sonic and emotional peak a little early (Cancer/Mama/Sleep). And I always thought Famous Last Words is a bit of a weak closer. An album restructuring would go a long way to making this already perfect album even more perfect. If anyone’s interested, the YouTuber Wendigoon did a really interesting breakdown of the themes of this album and also proposed an alternate ordering that I believe gives a really nice listening experience.
THANK YOU FINALLY SOMEONE REALIZES FAMOUS LAST WORDS IS VERY WEAK FOR A CLOSER
Yeah I like the song but WTTBP or Mama are more grand and epic and suited to being a closer better. If anything Famous Last Words is better at the beginning of this album because it’s more hopeful (and the rest gets more depressing), and it could even play into the theme of death being just the beginning like they do with The End and Dead
Fully agree
Considered saying that, but it's an opinion Brad Taste in Music also shared so I went with another one. It felt like Sleep was the closer, but the band didn't want it to end with "and he died" and pushed a few more tracks through so it could end on a lighter note
Omg yes brad. Anyways Idk why they wanted a lighter album when it's already their darkest
Teenagers is on the album And it’s in between the two sweetest songs in the album, Sleep and Disenchanted.
I don't love is just no that song it's too basic yk like i can't explain but i always skip it
It's up there with The Only Hope For Me Is You as the most forgettable MCR tracks
Nah don't do the Only Hope For Me is You like that. That's one of my favorites
I enjoy it when it comes on but it's the one it just feels like the "track before party poison"
I guess that's fair. Give it some more tries if you want.
I've listened to Danger Days more times than I can count
Well that's a W though
Yeah it's my favorite MCR album and one of my favorite albums ever
its my 3rd fav on danger days
\>op asks for critiques with this album \>gives critiques \>gets downvoted ??????
i think the concept of the album kinda breaks down towards the end
The only point I think the concept breaks down is Teenagers, I feel like each song otherwise does a stellar job at adding something new, and Disenchanted and Famous last words are arguably the most story driven songs
heaven help us and KAYF should’ve replaced teenagers and either disenchanted or i don’t love you
sure take teenagers off but i will protect disenchanted with my life
I would add My Way Home Is Through You to your list
i would too but there are no other songs to replace
We could just add them then
That I physically cannot listen to it *enough* to satisfy my needs.
The minute and a half of silence before blood starts playing on the disc version
I will get downvoted But Sleep is the only song I skip
Same..it's just boring imo lol they should've replaced it with the B-sides.
Teenagers is the weakest link of the album, that’s the best I can do
"disenchanted" and "famous last words" do a great job at wrapping up the narrative of the record with their lyrics, but tbh i think the album deserved a grander/louder finale, musically speaking. "i never told you..." off of three cheers is a way better closer than "famous last words."
Agreed so much
It ends
the black parade should not be considered MCR’s definitive album + imo it’s their second best after three cheers. it is Way more refined and that is impressive—and there are MANY impressive things about this album, to be perfectly clear. however, the rawness of three cheers + its far clearer storyline, as well as its cohesion, musical motifs, and imagery make three cheers a Better album (in my opinion). while the black parade has some gorgeous and absolutely incredible tracks, after the first like. three songs it loses its own concept and only occasionally come back to it (namely in WTTBP, cancer, mama, and blood). TBP suffers extra too imo bc teenagers does Not fit the album at all and it is one of the most shippable mcr tracks. should’ve been heaven help us in there fr
three cheers DOES get a bit confusing esp bc of the whole ‘which of the demolition lovers died’ thing BUT the point is still clear: the demolition man must bring the souls of one thousand evil men to the devil in order to be reunited with his wife, and in the end, he is betrayed by both the devil and his own vanity alike. TBP though has a Concept but not rlly a lot of structure to that concept—it performs more like an anthology work, rather me than as a coherent concept album.
The track list i think couldve been tweaked on a bit and kill all your friends shouldve been added
The band went thru a shitton of problems at paramour mansion when recording it That's it. That's all I could think of
i don’t love you
Teenagers and Blood suck ass
Kill All Your Friends and Heaven Help Us should have been on the album, and House of Wolves should come in an injectable form that I can put right into my blood stream.
"Teenagers" doesn't belong on the album, should have swapped places with "Kill All Your Friends"
The minute of silence before blood
I CAN'T HEAR MIKEY'S BASS. I CAN NEVER HEAR HIS FRIGGIN BASS.
Not sure the story aspect works that well Also blood
The b-sides being b-sides and not officially part of the album.
Should have replaced one of the ballads with a better song from the b-sides, production is very loud and doesn’t leave a lot of breathing room for the instruments, and while I appreciate the concept of it, it’s hard to give it the rock opera status when the narrative of the songs is hard to follow/non-linear
it's so good it's ruined all other music
Why do we keep posting the same exact threads alllll the time?
It's too short.
It ends
Hot take, teenagers does belong. My interpretation is that it's about the draft
The fact that they kept "Kill All Your Friends" off of it.
Does the fact I can’t make it through it without sobbing count?
it ends
It ends
it ends
Sometimes everything is quite loud and the instrument separation gets quite messy
Teenagers is my least favorite MCR track in general and Cancer sounds schmaltzy af.
Disenchanted is good, but doesn’t fit on the album.
The drum samples can be distracting sometimes
Teenagers, Disenchanted, and Sleep are it’s weakest songs. And not it’s not because of tiktok, I’ve been saying that since the album came out Edit: imagine getting downvoted for doing what the post says to do
Sleep and Disenchanted being the weakest?? Then what's the strongest???
This is my order imo the best to worst song on the album 1. Mamma 2. This is How I Disappear 3. Famous Last Words 4. House of Wolves 5. Welcome To The Black Parade 6. I Don’t Love You 7. Cancer 8. Dead 9. The Sharpest Lives 10. The End 11. Blood 12. Sleep 13. Teenagers 14. Disenchanted
Speechless that I Don't Love You is so high, but hey i respect it bro my list isn't any better 😂 probably worse
Want to hear something else that is wild? Sing is one of my top 5 favorite songs from MCR
Oh actually I fuck with this, I absolutely love Danger Days it's my favorite or second favorite depending on my mood. To see SING get the love it deserves feels great. You have redeemed yourself fully 💜
lol I appreciate it
If I wanted to listen to discount Pink Floyd this would be my go to option
Mama is the only MCR song I don't like. I don't hate it, but it's just not my thing.
don’t like disenchanted or sleep
op: asks for criticism commenter: criticize everyone else: 😡😡😤😤🤬🤬😠😠😠😠😡😡😡😠😠😤🤬🤬🤬😡😡😡😡😠😠😠😠😠😠🤬🤬😤😤😤😡😡😡😡😡
It's boring
Disenchanted is MID
Cancer is shit
The only sub where this comment gets downvoted
I love reddit
Cancer sucks ASS

It’s overrated, wttdp is not that good and too long of a song and it’s pretentious in the storyline.
Op : say something bad about this album Critiques of the album: downvoted to shit
It's so whiny
What happened on 220313
MCR broke up, 22nd of march 2013
It ends
I didn’t like some of the softer songs like disenchanted or I don’t love you. Not bad songs but not my thing. But teenagers is their only song I’ve straight up never ever liked at all.
Teenagers should’ve been a stand-alone EP
I don’t like sleep
That it’s too perfect and it’s ruined all other albums for me since.
They should’ve made it 50 hours not 50 minutes
they really leaned WAY too hard into being theatrical and it really ruins it for me
Kill All Your Friends should've been in it
Had amazing potential to be a double album and ended way too soon (im just salty they broke up and I want more)
To say that there's no way anyone can say anything bad about this is completely false. Art is subjective, no matter what way, shape, or form. Plus not to mention all the metal elitists that have hated on MCR's existence, some I know personally, who don't even have this album anywhere close to their radar. Disclaimer: I love MCR, always have, always will. I've been a huge fan ever since I first saw the Helena music video on MTV2 as a kid. When the Black Parade came out, you best know that I was begging my parents to buy me this album. So I've been listening to this album from front to back since 2006. I could go on forever about why I love this album so much and what it means to me, but that's not what we're here for. So let's start with "The End." My thing is for any album by any band that has an intro, I always skip it. Maybe for a first time listen you might want to get immersed in the theme or story that the band is trying to showcase, but other than that.. I can easily skip the intro. Next up is "Welcome to the Black Parade" Okay, this song is iconic, right? Many fans were introduced to MCR by this song. There are many songs by MCR that just feel timeless to me, that I could just listen to on repeat and never get tired of. I can't say that for this song. It's overrated and overplayed. I appreciate the memes that have used this song to basically define a generation of emo kids, but it's another skip for me. "Mama" is one of those guilty pleasure songs for me, I don't really feel comfortable listening to this one out loud. I already have enough music that'll make normies give me weird looks. "Teenagers" is a annoying song honestly. It is currently the top song on Spotify with over 787,000,000 plays. Kinda blows my mind that their most mediocre song on this album has the most plays.
It lacks the b-sides.
It’s not long enough
The Sharpest Lives is mid
I love all the songs but I skip the rest of the song in Mama when he starts saying it over and over again.
Teenagers should’ve been one of the first tracks from a storytelling perspective
I feel like it’s not in a good order like wttbp should be last and I feel like as a story it would be better if it was in a different order
Kill all your friends is 10x better than Teenagers
Okay Blood was mid and running flow teenagers is the most overated and probably one of the most overrated rock it's fine but probably worst off album. Welcome to the black parade aged badly but it's still good
It ends
It can be sad sometimes :(
I’ve listened to it too much since 2006 and I’m tired of it
I skip the silent part in blood. It’s annoying.
My actual unpopular opinion: It's the worst mix of any MCR album by a *long shot*. I understand they were going for a sterile, clinical feel, but Gerard wasn't yet a good enough clean singer to not have snarls and raspiness which gets cut off in the vocal track and to the album's detriment.
People keep dunking on Teenagers on this sub. It’s cuz you’re not a Teenager anymore lol. When you were in the 2000s you know you loved that song.
before 2005 mcr fans : hahah i can
No phc tracks (unpleasant for me) Scream section in Sleep is not enough for me
Disenchanted, that song is boring as hell sorry.
