All due, but talking over the lyrics with MCR can hamper your experience. Cancer is one of the most heartfelt and truthful songs ever written about the experience of having that disease (and I can tell you first hand; i'm a survivor, but that song would have been played at my memorial), and you talked through the entire thing.
Also, idk if you mentioned this but the UA-cam video you’re watching also includes the B-Sides of the album (Heaven Help Us, My Way Home Is Through You, Kill All Your Friends) as well as the secret track, Blood. The actual album ends with “Famous Last Words.” So, those B-Sides and Blood aren’t officially on the album (I suppose Blood is, but it was a “hidden track” I believe if you waited 5 or so minutes after Famous Last Words ended on the vinyl + CD)
@@cryptozex I still listen to them via cds and lemme tell you, blood sure does feel like it starts with 5 minutes of silence. Especially when welcome to the black parade feels like its only a minute thirty second long song (I frequently have to rewind and give that song a second listen through, because blink of an eye and that 5 min song is done, but in a good way)
I grew up in the 80s-90s and am a HUGE Queen fan. I enjoyed a few MCR songs here and there (I was too old for the emo scene) but when this album came out it gave me such huge Queen vibes that I had to sit down and really listen. And I loved it. Saw them on tour for that album and it was really great.
track 6, "Heaven Help Us" isn't on the original album. it's a bonus track. "My Way Home Is Through You" and "Kill All Your Friends" are also bonus tracks from the deluxe edition of the album from iTunes. They don't fit the narrative of the standard album as well.
Little fun fact about this album: they recorded it in the Paramore mansion, which is known to be haunted. The band went through very many mental health crises during the recording of the album, and that’s what the dialogue about the “night terrors” is about at the beginning of Sleep. Gerard Way would have horrible night terrors in the haunted mansion and it felt like someone was gripping his throat and choking him.
It's interesting that you say The Sharpest Lives is more straightforward, because it's actually one of their bolder and more honest songs. The construction is straightforward but if you pay closer attention to the lyrics, it's a really personal story about a struggle with addiction.
Putting the B sides in this album is nice. (Heaven Help Us, My Way is Through You, Kill Your Friends.) Would be interested in seeing your reaction to Conventional Weapons (which is rough because it was originally unreleased), and Danger Days.
He hates MCR being CALLED emo, because he sees people thinking Emo is eyeliner and black shirts. He grew up with emo that was flannel and heartbreak and acoustic. He very much thinks of MCR as theatrical.
It was INSPIRED by Bohemian Rhapsody but sounds nothing like it "A lot of these videos are connected to each other right?" oh you have no clue. This whole album is 2 characters fighting over whether death is worth it
You should really react to their first album "I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love". It's post hardcore mostly, and it has that "recorded in a basement" feel to it
The album is about a cancer patient who is going to die .. and the phantom who is guiding him into the afterlife The story goes the cancer patient didn't want to go but the phantom dont really care up until they have an argument they are similar all along because they died alone And the cancer patients died accepting he's fate
I kept MCR at arms length for the same reasons as you as a teen until a girl (a former 14yo emo girl) i dated put me on this album. Just baseline musicianship and production wise they are so far above their peers of the era. Like every 10 seconds there's a "ooh that's a cool/interesting choice" moment. Also I miss guitar solos! We don't get enough of them more.
An alarming of people thing MCR is bad because of all the memes from the 2000s. I did too, until I actually listened to a full album 20 years later. It's so hard to convince people to give them a chance.
Same story. I was in hardcore metal bands that spent their time posing as "thougher" and "more serious" than this. I was a teenager and I guess I was impressed by the community i've found, so I was nourrishing something of a pejorative look at emo bands and the emo culture. Fell in love with a girl who was a fan of MCR. Never shared this with her. Then we separated. I was sad and I missed her really much. Listened to MCR, I dont know, to understand something. And I did. A couple of years later, as friends (YES we can) we went to see MCR's comeback in Paris. And I felt like "hahaha, such a shame, years without understanding this music and here I am enjoying every song and shaking my ass in this seat that a longtime hardcore dreamed of"...
I loved this story- the love of my many lives (we had several together) passed away on July 2nd of this year at the age of 35 and he wasn't a fan of MCR either. He started listening to them to try to know me better. Dislike became appreciation... then became love. Funny how in the end, it's the smallest gestures that make you smile. Thank you for sharing this.
This album is peak 2000s rock! It's been so long since I heard it, there were 2 tracks I didn't recognise and overall I think they pull it off really well, very versatile and no filler. Nothing feels half hearted.
After Welcome to the Black Parade you listened to Heaven Help Us which is a b side from the Welcome to the Black Parade single. The sixth song is I Don't Love You
I don't really like the sound of teenagers either, but I love the song anyway, solely because of Gerard writing it while being scared of high schoolers on a train and feeling old. I always imagine him sitting there, writing that fcking song to cope, all stressed out and surrounded by teenagers. It's hilarious, and the song not really making sense for them as a band, and it becoming a troubled emo teen-anthem only makes it even more comical to me.
I didn’t know the background to that song! Thats funny I always thought it was written ironically as he was maybe a teenager that scared adults-not personality just at first glance. This does make the song so much better hahah! I really do like the song though-always have.
Huge album. One of the most iconic rock albums of the 2000s. Like it or hate it, it was iconic. Same as how people from the 90s loved or hated Nirvana's Nevermind. It just takes time for people to get over their biases and what gatekeeper reviewes think. There are a lot of great albums, but it takes something different to be 'iconic'. There is a reason that albums like The Black Parade or Hybrid Theory are considered as defining for the 00's rock. People tend to hate whats popular, some because they feel its not edgy to like popular stuff, others because they are annoyed that this album is more popular than whatever sub-genre basement band album they feel is better. But objectively i find it silly to not acknowledge that TBP was a defining album of its time.
DEFINITELY do mcr's first album, i brought you my bullets, you brought me your love!! especially if you want that raw rock sound. it's a concept album, tied to three cheers, essentially a part 1 to it
Give any young woman content that's dark, tragic, AND romantic, and we're pretty much sold. The rawness and imperfection of Gerard's voice also really sell it. It's the same reason I like grunge: Authenticity. Uniqueness. Shot through with messages of hope and perseverance. Also lines like: "A light to burn all the empires / So bright the sun is ashamed to rise and be" have no business going so hard.
I'm not the biggest mcr fan but a few of their songs I'm totally obsessed with. Sleep is definitely my favourite, I love the guitars and the screaming section. It isn't just screaming, he's screaming 'wake up' but the rest of the music drowns it out, summing up the whole message of the song. The few others I listen to are Mama, This is How I Disappear, I Don't Love You and Cancer. :)
MCR is one of my favorite bands and I was never “emo.” Gerard says they’re not emo and after reading and listening to all their songs, they’re really not emo. Btw, I’m 50 and still listen to them.
@@arnoldbarnold2047 wait what? Uh, no. I don’t just listen to emo music. I listen to all genres of music. That’s the dumbest statement I have read all year.
99% of people don't give a shit about the deeper meaning of a song that they just heard. They care about the music and the sound, especially this guy. He knows music theory, so his focus is on commenting on the music.
During Welcome To The Black Parade when you said it sounds like classical music? Thats because it's from Tchaikovsky's Overture 1812. ETA: their first album is really similar to My Way Home is Through You
I'd wholly disagree. That may have been the meme about it of the time, but this CD was a clean track to track win. Played this so much back in the day my friend tossed the CD where I promptly grabbed a ripped version on CD-R out of my visor and loaded it back in. Plus, Welcome to the Black Parade was pretty popular with Famous Last Words. The emos were more Ateyu/Hawthorne Heights and even then people on our basketball team had stuff on their iPods from all of them. Partially because I'd rip everyone's music and make one giant library for the school. You'd bring me your iPod, I'd rip the music, delete the multiples, and then upload a few thousand songs where there were _maybe_ a couple hundred at best. So maybe that helped break down some barriers.
Disagree. The music and sound is what's important. Lyrics are just a possible bonus, screw them. He knows music theory, so he's focused on commenting on the music.
@@cherryenthusiastlmao this conversation is a joke now. So you would have rathered he just read out of the lyric booklet? I swear, all yall can say is "but it's a concept album!" OK and? That maybe makes the lyrics more important than they usually are, but it's called music for a reason. NOTHING will ever be more important than the sound. Point blank and the period.
@@patrickperot6296 some music is both lyrics and melody and they work together to give a concept. if lyrics weren't important then they wouldn't be there.
As a 21 year old who is listening to MCR un-ironically, our opinions are not the same (for example, I love House of Wolves). However, some things I can agree with (like Sharpest Lives being vanilla compared to the rest). I think this is a good critical analysis as a first time watching. Because some people (like me) can’t hear the lyrics even without talking over it.
House of Wolves is S-tier for that breakdown alone, plus I love the instrument layering towards the end. Sleep does the same layering, but lets it breathe a little longer. It's a great technique. But then I love Blues Rock as a genre.
i think u would like green day's american idiot and 21st century breakdown albums. they are both rock operas. this is the album that got me into this band like last december. I really love their unique sound and gerard's writing. dead! is my fave song
9:51 as a fourteen year old emo girl, yep, mcr is my special interest. im the stereotypical emo girl but with autism so i become wayyyy to obsessed lol
Only a select few of us get to say this but for this album to drop when you are 15-16 along with every other amazing album that came out in that time frame was something that can never be replicated! Teenagers was unironically our Anthem!
I was 13 and went through the 4th death in my family in 5 years. It was the most perfect thing I had ever heard, hahaha. My mom was *so* tired of it, but unlike most teens my argument was solid enough for her to just suffer through it 😂
I would love to see you dive into listening to a Coheed and Cambria album. "In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth:3" or "No World for Tomorrow" would be good starting points for your tastes.
Always loved every MCR album but one thing about this one (though it may be a little overrated, still amazing) is that it has something for everybody no matter your taste
Dude has the McLovin look without the McLovin vibes. At least he has on a Smashing Pumpkins shirt. MCR have never been & continue to not be "emo". I know, I know the look is there but that was the style of the early '00 era. I have always seen MCR as more punk rock or hard rock than anything else. I met the boys in '04 when working at a concert venue called The Masquerade in Tampa Florida. If I hadn't already been a big fan of 3 Cheers & MCR i would have after meeting Mikey Way first then the rest of the boys. Very sweet, genuine, and just really good dude's. I gave up my bar that night to work on the MCR rider backstage so I got to spend some time with them. Long live My Chemical Romance ♥️
Yes. I think they are multiple genres, one of which is absolutely emo. Emo is just an especially emotional version of post-hardcore and/or pop-punk, usually. And I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love is one of the most emo album titles of all time. Up there with Dear Diary, My Teen Angst Has a Body Count.
Honestly, emo has kind of diverted from being a genre long ago.. It's more like a lyrical style now, really. Imo the last real genre of emo was midwest emo and then it just kinda diverged so much it stopped being a single genre entirely (side rant, sorry)
Different people get different things out of music. some are very lyrically inclined, some are more into analyzing chord progressions or the way the vocals harmonize with the other instruments or the way a song is mixed etc. Lyrics don't seem to be a focal point for him, but chords are something he's clearly interested in, judging by the fact that he comments on them a lot. Genuine suggestion, if that bothers you, try to find reactors who share your priorities. A lot of rap fans are very lyrics-oriented, maybe searching them out will help you find content you enjoy.
B sides should be at the end as a bonus. Not against them being reviewed, just their placement in the tracklist. People agree with me, the flow is off.
Your videos are really cool. Would love to see you check out more bring me the horizon or maybe even some electric callboy or tool? What did you used to hate?

Can never listen to "The End" without listening to "Dead!" following it... They go together forever.

The screaming that you liked in the background of Sleep--It's hard to hear, but he's actually screaming "wake up!"

I would love to see you dive into listening to a Coheed and Cambria album. "In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth:3" or "No World for Tomorrow" would be good starting points for your tastes.
Part of what made mcr to me was the use of two really great guitarists in frank, and ray… and obviously Gerard’s voice
you should definitely listen to their first album at some point.
Thank you for that!
Please consider reacting to The Used debut album.
I prefer in love and death but self titled is also great
@@Butters253 great album as well
the lyrics are so important on this album and i am a little sad that you are jumping over them
He knows music theory and is listening and reacting to the music and sound. Lyrics are for a third listen.
@@patrickperot6296 if you are stupid and lack a brain, sure, but they all work in unision. stop treatin gmusic as a linear progress
PLEASE LISTEN TO BULLETS NEXT !!!
I like when he calls out a key change
You should do danger days next
If you like the style of Sleep, You'd appreciate their first album
Always loved every MCR album but one thing about this one (though it may be a little overrated, still amazing) is that it has something for everybody no matter your taste
mcr are emo culture for sure but i for sure do not think there genre is emo not even close
Bands can be multiple genres, and emo is definitely one of theirs.
Bullets is definitely an emo album, I think it also depends on the song tho because I’d consider I’m Not Okay pretty emo
Ok I take back the Mclovin jab. I saw the pup. Beautiful.
They never said they were Emo.
Continue with the Danger Days album, I like the way you react to it
Yeahhh
RIP Bob Bryar, he was the one that made me want to start drumming, also I bought that white Les Paul because of the teenagers video
15:41 G NOTE 😭😭😭
I was so ashamed of listening to them growing up, but they've always been my favourite band.
Please do Sempiternal by BMTH next
Please please please
Why does bro look like fogle without glasses
Dude has the McLovin look without the McLovin vibes. At least he has on a Smashing Pumpkins shirt. MCR have never been & continue to not be "emo". I know, I know the look is there but that was the style of the early '00 era. I have always seen MCR as more punk rock or hard rock than anything else. I met the boys in '04 when working at a concert venue called The Masquerade in Tampa Florida. If I hadn't already been a big fan of 3 Cheers & MCR i would have after meeting Mikey Way first then the rest of the boys. Very sweet, genuine, and just really good dude's. I gave up my bar that night to work on the MCR rider backstage so I got to spend some time with them. Long live My Chemical Romance ♥️
What? MCR is quintessential emo, especially the first two albums.
@@patrickperot6296 you think Bullets & 3 Cheers are emo?
Yes. I think they are multiple genres, one of which is absolutely emo. Emo is just an especially emotional version of post-hardcore and/or pop-punk, usually. And I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love is one of the most emo album titles of all time. Up there with Dear Diary, My Teen Angst Has a Body Count.
You should react a muse album, one of they first five
your not getting it you need to be 16 in 2006 idk
Nah being 17 in 2024 works as well.
@@HamstringCollector thats mee lol
Mrc is not emo, they are a genre...
Honestly, emo has kind of diverted from being a genre long ago.. It's more like a lyrical style now, really. Imo the last real genre of emo was midwest emo and then it just kinda diverged so much it stopped being a single genre entirely (side rant, sorry)
Great reaction dude do you take album requests by donations? If you got a Patreon or something
Bro keeps compairing and not paying attention to lyrics 💀💀💀
Different people get different things out of music. some are very lyrically inclined, some are more into analyzing chord progressions or the way the vocals harmonize with the other instruments or the way a song is mixed etc. Lyrics don't seem to be a focal point for him, but chords are something he's clearly interested in, judging by the fact that he comments on them a lot.
Genuine suggestion, if that bothers you, try to find reactors who share your priorities. A lot of rap fans are very lyrics-oriented, maybe searching them out will help you find content you enjoy.
I’m never gonna unhear Get It On during Teenagers now after that T. Rex comparison (like on the rare occasion I don’t skip it, anyway) 😂
Should’ve listened to the version without the b sides thrown in the middle of it
The b-sides are good though so idk what you’re crying about man
@@mausilw crying? They’re good songs, but they throw off the cohesive flow of the original release.
@@TomasBridal maybe for you, not for everybody else.
@@mausilw nah, for most people. There’s a reason they are b sides.
B sides should be at the end as a bonus. Not against them being reviewed, just their placement in the tracklist. People agree with me, the flow is off.
Your videos are really cool. Would love to see you check out more bring me the horizon or maybe even some electric callboy or tool? What did you used to hate?
You might also check out pierce the veil. Kind of a cool Spanish guitar etc flairs to the emo scene
How can you be a hater if this is your first time reaction.
its his first time reaction to the album
maybe hater for the emo culture
He had preconceptions bc in the 2000s he hated emo subculture. I just finished watching the revenge reaction, he explains it a lot more there
