Review Summary: A great album with a solid concept and lots of energy. Imagine, it was 2006. ''you are in Junior high'' facing your darkest times and being so afraid of society. ''All of sudden'' The Black Parade is gracing through your ears, it changes how you see/hear things, that's what it did to me back then. Eight years later, My Chemical Romance's The Black Parade is still getting recognition and respect it deserves. I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love and Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge, had different attributes to each song. They were being so prepared, organized and ready to fall in such certain pieces, that will make them hard to forget and easy to remember. My Chemical Romance's different approaches to scene, were quite unusual, they wore different styles, looks and even their characteristics. The Black Parade's concept is hard to grasp or control about what it really meant. Dying cancer patient, who is fighting really hard to stay alive, almost like a chapter book without a finished ending.
The Black Parade's influences comes from bands like Queen, Pink Floyd and David Bowie. My Chemical Romance, really wanted to mix their sound with a classic rock edge, to make it accessible and enjoyable for their fan-base. My Chemical Romance's lyrical content contains emotional outbreaks, past reflections and most importantly saving people's lives. The Black Parade, showcases the band's unique values'' Each member, really preserves every attitude, long settling furious tone, they were luckily enough to contain. The dual guitar work of Ray Toro and Frank Iero, they both played it, in cleaner channels, with less distortion on the previous releases. Their talent is quite unpredictable, which makes a perfect example for brilliant switches of guitar melodies and techniques from leads and rhythms, that is gracious to hear time and time again. Mikey Way ''Bassist'' is nothing really special, in my opinion and yes he does have talent, however he doesn't shine, in certain kinds of areas, where it would be perfect from him, to really pursue and really appreciate his qualified technique, as a bassist. Bob Bryar ''Drummer'' Debuts his strength, the most educated way possible. ''Touring during the 3 Cheers era'' Bob Bryar is proven to be the muscle on this record and never skips a beat and it's consistent with his powerful attitude. ''A man with many different hair cuts'' He is the Lead Vocalist of My Chemical Romance ''Gerard Way'' Gerard's vocal is a love-hate relationship for a lot of people. You either love his whiny- appreciable and sometimes out of control structure or it either burns your ears and gives the quickest headache, that is painful and with very little comfort. I always loved/admire his style, he really respects, how each instrument of each track is played smoothly and whatever they want it to be. A charismatic front-man that has the right connections and quality to make, The Black Parade filled with such surprises and energy.
Musicianship is one of the biggest aspects in music, each member needs to shine and value different melodies, theories and unique perspectives, especially during a concept record that holds so much sadness and emptiness for people, My Chemical Romance, really did a define job on working together, thinking of new ideas and creating an album, that is perfect for fans of modern rock.
The Black Parade is a breath of fresh air, it does have low points based on it's more similar actions, not using the versatility that Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge and Even I Brought You Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love had. The Black Parade is questionably too be a modern rock masterpiece, that will forever appeal to younger audiences, My Chemical Romance did a great job on finding new ideals, explains and charisma to put forth in their material. The cautiousness and hard work, the band endured, through 12 years'' Seems like a journey more than an actual career.
The Black Parade is a great album, it's not mind blowing, jaw dropping, etc. It's a very unique, fun and it's always an excellent time, feeling such positive aspects, this album brings. Concept records, have a sense of connections, with your past lives'' My Chemical Romance, was very influenced by horror themes, western movies and inspirations from The Wall, Ziggy Stardust and a Night At The Opera. The Black Parade's success and character, is very well thought out and prepared respectably with mind blogging tones, personal issues, the timing of each instrument part you hear, you will admire this album as very upbeat, dark, passionate and it contains such a capable plot, for a talented band, rising from New Jersey.

It's an album, i always wanted to review, plus i'm sick
| | | oh sweet sweet nostalgia < 3
so, i haven't read the whole thing yet because i'm sort of busy, but i see some questionable word
choices ("gracing through your ears") as well as some unnecessary punctuation:
I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love and Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge, had
different attributes to each song.
get rid of that comma
| | | Album Rating: 4.0
First paragraph is too general.
The second paragraph needs to be cut down by a LOT. I appreciate you on being specific but not THAT specific.
Third and fourth paragraph isn't needed at all.
This reads more like a 5 rather than a 3.5, you don't state any negatives throughout the entire review.
With that being said, it is well written, it's just structured poorly. I'm not going to pos but I'm not going to neg either

I'm not a reviewer, but this sentence:
"Musicianship is one of the biggest aspects in music"
is repetitive.

That too. Forgot to mention that one.

Almost done with their discography, I'am going to redo my reviews for 3 Cheers and Bullets, in the near future, cause they were both so bad.
| | | Album Rating: 4.0
@ToonDude- It's a 3.5 cause of it's energizing quality, it's just a very fun album to jam too but nothing really mind boggling about it, it's just really enjoyable from time to time.
| | | " I'am going to redo my reviews for 3 Cheers and Bullets, in the near future, cause they were both so bad."
maybe they could have been better if you actually applied the criticisms people give you to your writing?
| | | Album Rating: 4.0
That doesn't really justify your rating in the review. You don't really state it, and if you did, then I would make it its own separate paragraph so that it can it can be noticed by the readers. Otherwise, this reads like a 5.

omg Insanely bad review. The first paragraph is enough to turn me away. Please, do not try to write a review if you don't have the basics down.

Hey asshole why don't you write one if you know the basics, cause I don't see any on your account.

step up black tie white jacket fgt
| | | Toondude is wayyyyy too critical.
This isn't a great review, but it's not bad. You just need to fix the numerous typos.
Also, I don't understand why you put "Bassist" and "Drummer" in quotations like you did.
