Anyone familiar with My Chemical Romance because of The Black Parade or Danger Days will be surprised by I Brought You My Bullets. The band's low budget debut is their heaviest work with more of a post-hardcore screamo sound with metal influences than the hard rock/pop punk sound they would be known for. Gerard Way's screams work really well and Ray Toro delivers some great piercing guitar work. Considering that the album was merely recorded in over a week, it's a very solid punky album. I personally don't consider it as strong as the band's later work as some tracks do sound a bit samey and lack much versatility but it's still a blast.

This album has helped me rock out on so many occasions. I've went through at least two store bought copies and countless burned copies.
What this album does, and when it worked for me, is help me feel like a million dollars. After only a couple listens, I quickly learned nearly all the lyrics, and it sets up even the most amateur of vocalists opportunities to both sing and scream along until you are red in the face.
It may not be a masterpiece to anyone that attempts to label the band as "emo shit," but respectfully calling it "alternative rock" my help to swallow this pill a bit for those that don't dig MCR.
Regardless, this album has heightened my senses on many levels. It make me an MCR fan, and this album is definitely their best work in demonstrating their ability and desire to rock an audience.
That said, it definitely isn't for everyone. I must admit, I was much younger when I found the charm in this album, so if you are past your rebellious teen stage then it is most likely too late to enjoy this album.
It is just a really fun album, and definately one of my top favorites. If you own the real deal, just try reading the outside of the album for a little Easter egg.

I had a big ant prepared for this album. Then I listened to "Our Lady of Sorrows". And I was sad because thats a genuinely good song surrounded by mountains of crap. Everyone here does what they're supposed to do at almost an average level, but overall the songs feel hollow and as if their all missing something. Gerard wasn't even decent on this album, which is one of the few saving graces of their next record. Honestly, dont bother with this. You'll die a happier man. I'm not politcally correct stfu women.

By far their rawest and best outing, MCR showed promise and potential but took it in a new and unbearable direction later on, see "Black Parade".

An authentic album before they transitioned to a pop-punk route which I'm not fond of. Best described as Post-Hardcore (?) act, but differentiate from others at the time with uniquely sensitive lyrics, and gothic imagery without being needlessly melodramatic. Gerard Way ties it all together will his phenomenal vocal talent. Bass is also joyously audible. A good amount of the songs are valid but pretty lackluster. However..Vampires Will Never Hurt You, Our Lady of Sorrows, This Is the Best Day Ever, and Demolition Lovers will always be fucking amazing.

not the best debut, but drowning lessons, lady of sorrows & demolition lovers are pretty fun

While not the most well funded or intricate debut, MCR manage to still pull out an absolute hit based on a factor of brash emotion and energy only self serious kids with dreams of grander could make and actually be able to pull it off.

This album is such a mess. All the songs sound the same, they're all too long, and the production is too sloppy to even be charming.

Decent songs that are dragged down by bad production quality with a few misfires in the writing section too

Not sure if this is actually good or if nostalgia is kicking in. Either way, it sounds ******* good right now and better than the bands that followed them today.

Holy shit. The first 4-5 times I listened to this album I thought it was mediocre at best. A couple years later I find myself flipping through my ipod and decide to give this go again. Something finally clicked, and I've immensely grown to really appreciate this album. I know I'll get hate for this, whatever.

This definitely their worst album. They sound like they are just finding their footing with their sound. They would definitely get better. There are some standout songs that save this from being a complete failure: "Our Lady of Sorrows," "Headfirst for Halos," and "Demolition Lovers", the rest are just okay.

While rough and coarse throughout the album in terms of production and vocals, My Chemical Romance's debut is a solid effort which showcased a sizable amount of potential with fast riffing, speedy drums and an overall sense of passion that helps add value to instrumentals and the vocals.

I don't know what to rate this and i don't know how to un-rate something, so it's just going to sit in this category for a bit.

This album just wasnt that great. Typical considering their others (which arent great eithier). Coming in as repetative at points and also very annoying as well. The band can be very annoying especially with there so called "emo" style (which is a misconception considering "Emo" and emotional have a common meaning, THINK ABOUT IT!!!).Over all its not an album i would buy or even consider looking at. This band dissapoints.

So yeah this was the second cd of theirs that i got, the first being seet revenge, which i loved. I thought they'd be another fad but i still liked their sound. Now to get this out of the way, i dont care for this album musch and i really dont truly like any songs, just bits and peices of each one. The main problem being that these songs are way to goth, at least for me, but some people(emos, goths) will really like this one.

Truly their greatest album...so far.. it has a ton of emotion and a ton of consistancy. Both of the guitars work together great and the drums are amazing.
Best songs :
1 Demolion lover
2 Drowning lessons
3 Early Sunsets Over Monroeville
4 Vampires Will Never Hurt You
5 Headfirst For Halos
That last list was very hard to decide
