entitledEcstasy:Three Tales of Chemical Romance, by IrvineWelsh.Since formingalmost five years ago, the group has managed
torelease twoalbums with a third in the works titled The Black Parade ( setto be releasedOct. 24th 2006 ). In 2002,
theyreleased IBrought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love, a collection ofsongsrecorded only threemonths after
theband's initialformation. An admirable achievement definitely, but even more surprising was thereceptionthe
albumreceived.Critically, it waslauded from many corners (and derided from many others) and led to support tours
withestablished artiststhelikes ofThriceand Taking Back Sunday.Signing to Reprise Records in 2003, the band set to work on their
major label debutandreleasedThree CheersFor Sweet Revenge thenext summer. Eventually to go platinum, the album broke
the band as afullymainstreamoutfit, with hit singles'Helena,' 'I'm Not Okay' and'The Ghost of You' causing a stir on MTV and TRL
alike.Togetherwith bands like The Used,Panic! At The Disco et al.,My Chemical Romancehave received much scorn for
theirsupposedly "emo"sound and image however with an ever-expanding fanbase, theirapparent notorietyseems only to be
