Album: My Chemical Romance “The Black Parade”

Sometimes things don’t live up to the hype. But sometimes they do, and in this case, even better than.
Everyone’s talking about Queen and glam-rock, but there are so many other influences obvious here as well. 90s anthem rock (Boston/REO), with a dose of punk thrown in, and several songs that bring Smashing Pumpkins to mind. It’s loud and sassy and upbeat and fun. And the hidden track has a real Morrissey/Smiths feel to it.
Balme, you will love this. And Michelle, I think you would as well.
