Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys
What a terrible note to go out on. I get that the guys wanted to change things up but this was not the way to go. The songwriting is generic, most of the electronics sounded dated on release and the concept is too messy to keep up with if you haven't read the comics, which is a problem on the two first albums too but at least there the stories are grounded enough to be enjoyable even if you don't fully get what's going on. 2,5/5 | | 4 |  | My Chemical Romance
I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love
Some nice ideas here but the production and rushed performances hold them back. Gerard Way is also still a terrible frontman at this point in time. Sometimes the band even struggles to keep a steady rhythm. For me this is only enjoyable as a demo album that shows where they started outside a few highlights like Headfirst For Halos. 3/5 | | 3 |  | My Chemical Romance
Conventional Weapons
You can clearly tell that the album wasn't finished. While most of the songs are good, they don't really work together to create a full experience. The quality is also very inconsistent. Some of MCR's best post- Black Parade tracks are here (Boy Division, The Light Behind Your Eyes) but also some of their worst (mainly The World Is Ugly). Overall the album (or rather collection) ends up being more enjoyable than Dangers Days but doesn't reach the hights of their best material. 4/5 | | 2 |  | My Chemical Romance
Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge
One of the best sellout records ever. The hooks are poppier than on Bullets but the songwriting is so infectious that it doesn't even matter. Bob Bryar is a much better drummer than Matt Pelissier and Gerar has greatly improved as a vocalist. 4,5/5 | | 1 |  | My Chemical Romance
The Black Parade
Their magnum opus. This has everything Three Cheers had but with better production, more variety and a better concept. Also the best album to come out of the 2000s' emo scene. 5/5 | |

11.17.19 | Honestly hard agree on this, except that I never heard Conventional Weapons unfortunately.
Black Parade was leagues above their mainstream colleagues in terms of ambition. Such a damn good album.
I enjoy all of them to some degree (even Danger Days) but there's a pretty stark difference in quality haha | SineEclipse
11.18.19 | agree, but would switch Three Cheers and Black Parade personally. while Three Cheers has more pop hooks than Bullets, Three Cheers has spastic bursts of energy that bring chaos to the forefront. Wouldn't really call it a sell out. | dimsim3478
11.18.19 | Bob didnt play on Three Cheers; it's Matt on that album | LightChaotic
11.18.19 | Three Cheers is their best work in my opinion. I wasn't really into MCR when Black Parade came out and I always thought that the theatrical aspects of it were a bit cheesy but it has definitely grown on me a lot over the years. Three Cheers just has more bite to it. "This Is How I Disappear" and "House Of Wolves" are great though. Danger Days is honestly underrated. Starting at "Save Yourself, I'll Hold Them Back" the back half of the album is fucking great. And the first half definitely has some catchy stuff going on. Three Cheers is just so consistently fantastic. Listening to it now this is just all killer and zero filler. Even the filler interlude is killer. | Faraudo
11.18.19 | 1 will always be 1, so yes. | SwanSoup
11.18.19 | I also think Three Cheers is their best album. I agree with The Black Parade being too theatrical for me when it came out. I was already segueing to being a bit "cooler" (lmao) of a post-hardcore/metalcore-kid in 2006, and NOW when I try listening to it, it's actually not too dissimilar to Three Cheers except for a few songs, but to me at that time it sounded super sell-out-y to me. Alas, it doesn't have any nostalgia attached to it for me so I would rate it being above Danger Days because that album is ass, but... yeah.

11.18.19 | I actually thought the same thing when Black Parade came out. For a long time I saw it as a step into the mainstream, not sure why- maybe it was the classic rock influences that took away some of that post-hardcore edge. Both are fantastic but Three Cheers is relentless all the way through | SymbolicInTime
11.18.19 | 3 is 1 for me. Rest is fine where it is | onionbubs
11.18.19 | swap 2 and 1 and you gold | onionbubs
11.18.19 | theres some really good shit in 5 but bar bulletproof heart everything before save yourself is fucking awful |
