[Havenspear]

His voice sounds really different on the new album. Not sure I like it...

[01chardw]

it sounds a *uck less emo though

[Maddy!]

The new album is ace I love it. Glad there top for once we don't have some indie bullcrap or pop star princess at the top

[Walternativo]

I dont know if I like this Ill have to get used to it. I totally think his new look is gayer than emo tho.

[gary666]

yeh mcr at the top, finally somethin i agree with

[papersun87]

Meatloaf is on the charts.

What is this world coming to?

[FrenchyFungus]

Anyone posting "MCR are fags" or similar will be warned/banned, OK?

If you don't like them, leave. NOW.

[TheGhostOfYou]

I'm glad they're at the top. The album is perfect.

[Rebourne]

I've never really listened to their music but he sure looks really creepy in the new issue of guitar world.

well said, easily the best album of the year. how the hell did they manage to beat muse and trivium?

[fender3592]

listening to welcome to the black parade right now. i actually like this song better then what they did in the past, never really was a big MCR fan, but i might get into them.

[schecter_guy]

there are too many good CDs coming out now. trivium, lamb of god, MCR.....I CAN'T BUY THEM ALL AHHHHH

[guitarist41]

good on them. I dont really listen to emo but these guys are awesome.

Even the emo haters would like them if they REALLY listened to them.

[punkrockjoe]

This is quite weird(but good) Red hot chili peppers have never had a U.k no 1, neither have muse as far as im aware and here are MCR in their second week at the top. Omg just got the album im on track two right now, I'm so excited.

[FunkedUp]

Interesting that they top the chart having been bottled off at Reading. Conclusive proof, if it was needed, that the CD single-buying demographic really does comprise prepubescent kids?

Meatloaf is great.

[rich_sg]

I quite like this song. Big improvement on what I last heard.

MCR? Punk??? Jesus christ...

im a metalman myself, but the sooner +44 come out and wipe the floor with all these emo and screamo bands, the better.

[andyscoot]

they must be good to be at no1....i just dont see it....im a huge fan of razorlight so im pissed of at them

[enchiladitos88]

didn't that meatloaf song come out about 20 years ago?

[faqu]

Checked.

[nik_I]

this name seems like a ripoff of a combination of many albums

read the total guitar interview with them. they say they dont consider themselves emo, and theyre not. only reason theyve been labelled this is cos internet fags say so, when in fact they have no clue what theyre talking about. so i hope a lot of people give them a chance now as its such an amazing album

..third.. the new album is really pretty nice, i'm glad they are including more and better solos now, too

[IsThereLoveInSp]

1-MCR is not emo
2-I like this album a lot, I cant wait for it to come out in the states

[Jondy]

who the crap is that picture of? There... there's NO way that can be Gerald Way... can it? wtf?

[gemtextr]

listenin 2 da nu MCR album rite now
i luv 'dead' lol haha
g xo

[str84ever]

as much as i hate to admit it i heard the new single and it was quite catchy, i liked the video for the first single - cant remember name - im ok or something :S

[vbackseatromeov]

Scissor sisters!

I think those guys are great even though the singer is a little queer.

Id appreciate MCR more if they had a good live show.

[GoodCharlotte92]

who the crap is that picture of? There... there's NO way that can be Gerald Way... can it? wtf?
yeah he died his hair and got it cut. imo it looks better, for him. a guy at my school died his hair
blond to be like gerald but it was pretty bed. he was pretty much the talk of the school
can't wait for the album

[runnah4life808]

i listened to the AOL session thingy, and liked it very much. Less hardcore, and has some cool riffs and solos. Even my friend, he who dispises MCR, started warming up to the new material.

[yawn]

Odd, it seems like no one's disliking the new material.

Anyways, I don't really like the new song. The chorus is rather repetative, one of the verses (or maybe the bridge) sounds like it was pulled from the Blink 182 Christmas song, and overall the soloing could have been better.

Oh well, hopefully the rest of the album is better.

I personally was hoping for more along the lines of Thanks For All the Venom :o

[Friar Tuck]

I got the new MCR today, and I wish I'd gone for Meatloaf instead.

good for you.

[BlueZephyr]

The new song is pretty good. The whole marching theme is sweet. I like how they transition from like 70 bpm to 200 bpm.

[The Spoon]

God damn, i cant wait till the album comes out here tomorrow. Haha usually the chart toppers suck.


AHHH!! Ive been waiting too long. to theblackparade.com!

and the narrowmindedness of yours makes me sick, you think just because i listen to metal i dont listen to any other genres? go learn a thing or two about music tastes.

[xrawrockkillsx]

MCR own, the new album is everything it promises, i got to listen to it last week at a listening sessiona nd evryone in the room was floored.
awesome

[Kobrakai]

I liked the last album, I don't like this one. They seem to up themselves now to be honest.

[Axeman25]

These guys aren't really my music coz i hate emo but if others listen fair enuff...but top of the chart come on what happeneed to humanity!

[bloodhound_tm]

is it just me or does the intro to the song "I don't love you" sound a lot like coldplay's yellow?

[Geek_Aus]

love MCR damn albums not out where i live yet grrrr

[8766654321]

MCR is not emo.. maybe their image, maybe their song names or even the band name but no. Im not even a fan, but that new song is catchy as shit I actually like it :P

[muzz666]

Yay for My Chemical Romance. The new song is awesome . Death to Lil' Chris

[a7xrock12]

His names spelt gerard..not gerald.
I've never really been a fan of MCR but i prefer this new stuff a lot more than their old stuff.

[Captain Gregio]

It would be nice to not hate a band because of a genre. Can we even classify music anymore? Who cares if it's emo, or punk, or metal. Music is Music. If you get anything from music, then it's good. Quit bitching about bands. They are doing what they love, let them be, and just enjoy it.

[FrenchyFungus]

Checked

[slashlover]

must say... like bob sinclair better...

[nirvanafan11111]

i have to say i hate this song, having heard it played every other hour on radio, i can safely say that it is the most overrated song ever, also what the hell happened to his vocals!

He could grow up to be the next Prime Minister and add to the UK's shame. Oh well, nobody really buys singles anyway, it's the album charts that matter.

[mcrbp]

mcr got wierd on this one...anyone checked out the website.....still very good

[xXbleed4meXx]

At least they're above P. Diddy. That's all that matters.

[Yespleasevicar]

Am i the only one who thinks this is awful?

[blackDoll]

mcr new song is brilliant ive never liked stuff like this b4 but now im addicted.. im pissed of about the bottle thing as it happened in the uk wot are they going to think ov us now... nd wot the **** is emo or whatever please??.

[blackDoll]
