My Chemical Romance – The Black Parade
2006 was the year this amazing concept album by My Chemical Romance was released. I had not listened to anything by MCR before and I have not listeded to anything else after. This is my only exposure to MCR. For some reason I was intrigued by the album cover and decided to give it a shot and I am so glad I did. The songs and story it tells is captivating and definitely rocks. I have gotten back into listening to it again lately and it has stood the test of time in my opinion.
According to the MCR Wiki page, ‘The Black Parade follows the death of “The Patient”, a character suffering from a terminal illness. It chronicles him as he ventures out of life and death meets him as “The Black Parade”. The story is inspired by Gerard’s belief that you are met, upon death, by a prominent memory from your life; in the album, The Patient is met by the memory of a parade he was taken to as a child.’
Some people say that this rock album about life, ,love, death and dying could have been done better but I think MCR did a great job and it is definitely a modern day masterpiece as far a a concept album.
