What was the point of this album?

Enough already

>>126811996 (OP)
he wanted to make music and made it. thats it. couple of solid tunes.

>>126812210
was it worth disbanding MCR for?

>>126812225
MCR is deadweight. a legacy thing that has no chance of doing anything.

>>126812225
mcr was already disbanded. this was just to pass the downtime.

>>126811996 (OP)
He's cuhrayzee!

>>126812225
Disbanding was the best best decision they could have made. Their absence during the 10s, the worst decade for rock music ever, made them more popular than ever. Imagine the slop they'd be forced to make in the 10s.

He should have included Pinkish in the album.

>>126816779
It’s just sad at this point. It’s the new fans they got, same ones that got the black parade a high rating on RYM when it was barely 3.6. They just fucking suck.

>>126816779
>>126816948
There hasn't been a thread about this album in years afaik.

>>126816697
what could this image have anything to do with anything

>>126811996 (OP)
it was a Bowie-esque excursion

>>126820295
lmao

>>126811996 (OP)
So he could LARP as his hero Bowie on the cover

>>126814805
They never really caved to label pressure
The label wanted em to make a song for Twilight and they outright refused

>>126820767
Yeah but the state of the industry was worse in the 2010s and after Danger Days being a relative flop, they'd have more pressure from the label and that's probably partly why they called it quits.
They'd be less revered now, if they stayed during that decade and released mediocre phoned in material like most of their peers.

samefag thread

the one about the germs was his best solo track. never made anything else like it unfortunately. very of the beachy indie surf sound that was big in the early 00s.
i miss college.

>What was the point of this album?
What is the point of anything dude, it's a good album and I'm glad he was doing this and not whatever the fuck Fall Out Boy was doing at that point

>>126820315
>>126820607
It was more of a britpop+shoegaze worship though.

>>126823217
Yup

>>126823217
You've been samefagging more than anyone here.

>>126825922
>projection
also
>>126823217

>>126820767
And then they made Danger Days right after, which was the biggest artistically bankrupt sellout trash EVER

>>126829127
Scarecrow, Bulletproof Heart, Na Na Na, Planetary go !, and The Kids from Yesterday, are all amazing songs, better than 99% of the stuff that came out in 2010 !

>>126829142
Too bad no one ever heard those songs

>>126829174
>17.7 million listeners

>>126829142
Only TKFY and Scarecrow are good actually. Those and Summertime are the only good things on the album, and regardless, still a major sellout

>>126829346
18 million bots

>>126829720
Did bots also buy the vinyl version?

>>126829958
No, because that's actually good. DD is obvs mostly bots though.

>>126829716
How the fuck Bulletproof Heart isn't good?, it's awesome ! it along with scarecrow are the 2 best tracks on the album, followed by Na Na Na, all are in my MCR top 10. Btw, BH has ~8m views on yt, scarecrow only 2.6m. https://youtu.be/Rv0XgeFHFMw?si=oAGdeqTk43W5eHy5 , https://youtu.be/-RAWnc5F848?si=91Q7KtcYNO-NnrrX

>>126830016
>How the fuck Bulletproof Heart isn't good?
Because it isn't.
>Btw, BH has ~8m views on yt, scarecrow only 2.6m.
Yeah normies are dumb, what's new?

>>126830490
Yes it is, one of their best. This is the official rank : 1) S/c/a/r/e/c/r/o/w 2) Bulletproof Heart 3) Na Na Na 4) The Kids From Yesterday 5) The Only Hope For Me Is You 6) Summertime 7) Sing 8) Save Yourself 9) Planetary go 10) Party Poison

>>126829958
Lol retard moving the goalposts

>>126829127
Well we got what they were originally making on Conventional Weapons
And really Danger Days isn't even that much different than the previous two albums
It's just brighter
They sold out with Three Cheers

>>126831385
it's completely different from the previous two, no edge or depth at all.

>>126829958
it's always this turbouautist samefag posting about mcr like they're k-pop idols lmao
>b-but muh sales

>>126831426
It's all pop punk
Just cause it doesn't have the edgy mall goth aesthetic doesn't mean it's not the same musically

>>126829716
>>126829142
Oh wait, Destroya's a good song too, but that's it, only 4 worthwhile things on the entire album, and even then the rest of their catalog bodies those tracks.

>>126831493
>It's all pop punk
not DD, it's pure pop. that's why it sucks.

>>126831515
Anon have you listened to the album?
The only song you could call just straight pop is Planetary

>>126831545
i have, there's no pop punk on there. power pop is about as rocky as it gets.

>>126831515
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5f18AsYv-0
I wouldn't call Save yourself, I'll hold them back pure pop.

>>126831467
It’s so tiring

>>126812451
He could have made analog horror, https://youtu.be/KnjkmBmWW5k?si=eFKrCIuFGk3Tx-ST , https://youtu.be/AEPf1qR01PA?si=mK8fYAGmIHC1UPgD , https://youtu.be/pQweWdXeqVM?si=kGjscXE-LtDHWrey imagine Gerard creating SPC, or at least content, or the backrooms. . .

>>126833084
butt metal

I liked Danger Days more than Black Parade
I'm sorry but I never cared for that album aside from maybe Famous Last Words

>>126833636
Yeah, not pure pop.

>>126833900
the pop of metal

>>126833953
Mall emo, yea

>>126834001
the linked song wasn't mall emo, it was butt metal. BIG difference.

>>126833391
lmao wtf, never seen that before.
SPC and backrooms stuff was pretty cool as a concept back then, novel. Not sure it would've fit his vibe though. Also a shame how pozzed it's gotten nowadays. Ran into the ground

>>126833391
Right before Danger Days came out they posted a lot of short videos with a similar vibe.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRxzgrIZdNM
And recently they posted this one
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__OJrvuyKP8
which is similar to this pre-danger days one
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XA-ruTOCUks
It gives me hopium that there will actually be a new album.

>>126834564
Yeah, I remember those. I enjoyed the lore they built up around DD, even if I didn't enjoy the music. But regarding a new album, even with those vids: my own hopium has run out.

>>126811996 (OP)
kwab

>Way’s previous band, My Chemical Romance, broke up with little explanation shortly after announcing their fifth album. As a result of the breakup, this album, or storybook, will neither be found nor listened to.
>The album was planned on being titled The Paper Kingdom, and would tell a fairy-tale-esque story involving a group of lost, troubled children fighting a witch.
wtf, i never knew that. we were robbed

any Desert Song enjoyers here ?

Very worth it

>>126840920
Putting Helena at the top was the red flag for me

>>126841496
Helena is for MCR, what "Yesterday" or "I want to Hold Your Hand" was for the beatles, why wouldn't it be on top ? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gb28fUq26J0&pp=ygUPaGVsZW5hIGFjb3VzdGlj0gcJCcMJAYcqIYzv

Nah, some things are cliche for a reason. It's a perfect song. The real red flag is that there's only one Bullets track on there

MCR released the original "Welcome to the Black Parade" https://youtu.be/aPYh-RL6Lu8?si=BNxMzitZz6fh8zzp , but didn't want to release the original "Helena", so The Offspring was kind enough to do it for them : https://youtu.be/A7VEZx7Dobk?si=TsWdWVP3rfPBmsht Why am I the only one posting lists ? :-(

> Why am I the only one posting lists ?
Probably because you are the only one posting in your samefag thread ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

>>126845438
>Why am I the only one posting lists ? :-(
they only have four albums - and one of those is best forgotten about. so no point in making lists, not enough material. would make sense if you were talking about coil or siouxsie or something, but as it stands four albums is nothing. anyway:

>bullets > three cheers > parade >>>>>>>>>>>>> danger days

>>126845536
You're an idiot, I didn't start this, or any other, MCR threads. >>126845544
Disagree totally, The Black Parade is the best, I'd give it a 10/10, Three Cheers a 9.5/10, Danger Days a 8.5/10, and Bullets a 7.5/10

>>126845544
They have five albums
Conventional Weapons is an album no matter how stupid the release of it was

>>126845594
>Danger Days above Bullets in any universe
i'm gonna have an autistic meltdown

>>126845798
Danger Days has better songs, according to me, and many others. Bullets has some great songs (Mirror, Headfirst, Skylines, Lessons) but DD has some even greater (Both Bulletproof and Scarecrow, are in my all time top 30 best songs) https://www.ranker.com/list/best-my-chemical-romance-albums/ranker-music , https://thehardtimes.net/rankings/every-my-chemical-romance-album-ranked/ , https://returnofrock.com/my-chemical-romance-albums-ranked/ .

>>126846600
>every post that isn’t me is the same person

>>126845605
No, it's not. It's basically Danger Days outtakes.

>>126840094
Best from B side is definitely "Heaven Help Us" https://youtu.be/90DdNfvYjtU?si=8PKzPW6LheqIevx9 would rank 4-6, if it were in the album. WTTBP is the hardest MCR album to rank, while the others remain mostly consistent to me, I can't decide, is "this is how I disappear" really better than "Black Parade" ?, what about "Dead" isn't it better than "House of Wolves" ?, is it as good as "The Sharpest lives" ?

you say the same stock phrases, talk with the same cadence. i know you're the same person.

>>126847744
I can't fucking stand WTTBP (the song). Also hate Teenagers. HHU should've took it's place.
Rest of the album is good though, especially Sharpest Lives.

It isn't, Gerard said they were working on a song called "half-truism" when a gale blew the sheets through the window, they had forgotten it, so started again.
>>126851757
Damn, maybe try listening to an alternative version/cover ? It is definitely in the top 10 at least. I'm listening to all albums again, to try and make a proper list, based both on personal preference, and critical acclaim/fans. I think the closest I could get to a definitive ranking for the 1st album would be :
1- Headfirst For Halos
2- Skylines And Turnstiles
3- Honey, This Mirror isn't Big Enough For The Two of Us
4- Demolition Lovers
5- Vampires Will Never Hurt You
6- Drowning Lessons
