Never got super into MCR, Black Parade is decent and every once in a while I do enjoy rocking out to the title track

Can basically take or leave the show (entertaining fraff, essentially), but the They Might Be Giants drop was inspired.

Entertaining fraff for sure, agreed on the TMBG scene. I was also a fan of the Bay City Rollers song during the bowling alley scene. I've found myself going to the show's spotify playlist more than I thought I would

In my opinion, The Black Parade is My Chemical Romance's best albums (Although Three Cheers come close)

Can you share it? I would love to read it.

Being 28 years old, I somehow never got on the MCR hype train and never actively listened to them, apart from couple of uber present hits. So the first time I actively listened to this was last year, and I absolutely loved it, and made me realise that there are some great tunes here if you can tolerate the over the top emo aesthetic, which I definitely can. That stretch of songs from How I Dissapear to I Don't Love You is as good as any 4 song strech from the 00's. Fantastic stuff.

Here you go.

This is just wonderful. Thank you.

There's a super great Hanif Abdurraquib piece about this album which makes me wish I loved it. Alas, I do not.

Hey this one's for the kids and though still young at the time I realized I wasn't down with the kids anymore.

Still I think Welcome to the Black Parade and Teenagers are both great 2000's songs.

I'm 30 now and I feel that way about UK drill. A lot of it is great, but it's not for me (or people my age, more specifically). However, we have a Point of Discussion thread for this exact conversation so I'll probably expand on this in there.

Seen a few people who has this as their all-time favorite. Understand it to some extent, but not personally mine - I still find it a killer rock album for the 00s.

I am sure this album was album of the day a few weeks back? I do remember a fairly great comment you made on it Skinny. 🤔

I was a huge fan at time although not listened in ages now.
