I just bought Danger Days: The true lives of the fabulous killjoys and The Black Parade and they are both two very well done albums. What do you think of them? I know they did project rev with lp a while back...
To summarize, kids, MCR were a boring, bland, generic post-hardcore/emo band, then they wrote a catchy song a bunch of teens and MTV liked, then they became a boring, bland, generic rock radio band. TEENAGERS SCARE DA LIVIN SHIT OUTTA ME yeah man
I loved the first 3 albums. Danger days I just can't get into. They just seem to be trying to have fun with it instead of taking it seriously. I tend to prefer music to be taken very seriously.
Can somewhat agree with this, but their fanbase was always mostly teens/MTV regardless of whether they were "post-hardcore" or radio rock. The first album was boring as fuck, never liked their third album either - at the time I probably said some shit at the time about how they were trying to be Queen, and I haven't heard the new one. Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge was GOLD though. Can't get the same feeling from it that I can from The Used S/T or Suicide Notes And Butterfly Kisses now though (unfortunately? fortunately?). Anyway, I'm not eleven anymore, so I can safely admit to myself that they were pretty horrible.
