This album is loaded with great guitars and the trademark raspy vocals by Phil Lewis that made L.A. Some Lie 4 Love, Kiss My Love Goodbye and It’s Over Now. On Hollywood Vampires the songs still have that sing along quality that Cocked & Loaded expressed so well but this time out there was more mainstream success with three singles charting in the US and UK. Guns is an excellent but darker sounding twist for the band.

This band needs no other to be compared with but I think if you like Queen, concept albums or rock operas you will enjoy The Black Parade.Ĭopyright © 2010 Kevin P. The best tracks on the album are DEAD!, This Is How I Disappear, Welcome To The Black Parade, I Don’t Love You, Cancer, Mama, and Teenagers and don’t forget the hidden track Blood. I suggest you listen to the entire album in one sitting to get the best experience of The Black Parade it will rock you from start to finish. It may sound strange but an album that is filled with so much sadness in the end sounds really fun and almost happy. This album keeps you interested from start to finish with songs that have many different layers with excellent musicians backing up the amazing lyrics. The first time that I listened to The Black Parade it blew me away and I instantly thought that it was going to be the album of the year for sure but only reached number two on the Billboard 200 chart and only Welcome To The Black Parade reached number one on the Hot Modern Rock Chart.įor an album that is loaded with songs that deal with depressing subject matter it makes you want jump and dance and even feels kind of good. The album tells the sad tale at a rapid pace and with a catchy alterno-pop sound that grabs from emo, punk, rock, 1970’s era Queen and all that made the 1990’s alternative scene work. This album tells the story of a person dying of cancer. Emo rock opera is how I would describe the third album from My Chemical Romance.
