Why am I reviewing this?
Rating: 3/5
I hate emo. I hate bands like Taking Back Sunday, Finch, Hawthorne Heights, etc etc etc. This is a dying trend of music that came and went pretty fast in the 2002-2005 time period, and frankly I'm glad it's gone, even if the pseudo hardcore/ freaky deaky stop-start-stop-start music is no better.

So what is it about this CD? Well this is what it is. My Chemical Romance and the Used, which are the only two bands in the emo/scene that I can deal with without wanting to kill myself because of how bad the music is, have one thing that the other bands do not. Rhythm and flow. That is, the music sounds like rock music that is chock full of quirks and curveballs, not a bunch of incoherant sounds that were accidentally meshed together and then saved by mistake. No, My Chemical Romance, while I admit that I used to hate, actually deserve some credit here, because they manage to make a music that is so incredibly mainstream friendly, but they still stay true to the fact that they are musicians. The craft songs that have a rocking feel to them, that you could bang your head to if you wanted. YES I SAID BANG YOUR HEAD NOT HARDCORE DANCE LIKE SOME OF THESE OTHER BANDS OUT THERE. Now I don't know what fans do at shows like these, I've never seen this band live and never intend to. Honest to God I sold this CD to protect my ego and pride, and get some money to buy some more Bad Religion, but I burned myself a copy before I did and every once in a million years I listen to it, because as much as I would love to dismiss this band as mainstream codswallup, I can't, because they're not. Their new CD, the one after "Black Parade" has rumors about it returning to a simpler punkier feeling roots. If they did that, that'd truly be great. They need to step away from the mainstream garbage because quite frankly, they're a step above it.

I don't have all that much more insight to the typical person who would read this review or like this band, but that's okay 'cause they probably spend more time in Hot Topic than they would actually reading anything, and they probably already have this CD illegally downloaded for their ipod anyway, so it's not like I'm going to be the decision maker as to whether you buy this CD. But if I hypothetically was the decision maker, I'd say borrow it from someone, listen to it, maybe burn a copy, and if you're really into that, why not buy it.

Highlight Tracks: "Thanks for the Venom" "Till the End" "Give 'em Hell Kid"

AMAZING!
Rating: 5/5
I purchsed their first album "I Brought You my Bullets, You brought you me your love", and I was taken aback my how great these guys are. So as soon as "Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge" was released, I ran out and bought it. I was NOT disappointed at all, amazing album. Every song on that album is beautiful. Gerard Way has an beautiful voice, and does an awesome job of making you feel the emotion of the music, I mean really feel it. This being their sophomore album, they definitely didn't hit that sophomore slump as most bands do. My favorite song on the album is "Thank You For The Venom", the words to that song are BEAUTIFUL. Especially "You'll never make me leave ,I wear this on my sleeve Give me a reason to believe." "Gimme all your poison, and gimme all your pills, gimme all your hopeless hearts and make me ill. You're running after something that you'll never kill, if this is what you want then fire at will." There is definitely a story behind this album, and you can hear the story in each individual song. This album takes you on this amazing journey. It's beautifully put together, and I listen to it just about everyday :)!

Really Great
Rating: 5/5
The first time I had heard that MCR had created a new album was when I was surfing the net for music, and I stumbled upon MCR's website. I hadn't checked up on them since they released thier first album in '02. The first song I heard from this album was 'I'm Not Okay (I Promise)', and right then I was sold. I bought the album, and listened to every song and fell in love with MCR all over again.

A perfect purchase if you're looking for an album that has a lot of cursing, amazing riffs, and one hell of a frontman.

Getting better
Rating: 4/5
MCR keeps getting better with each album. I think little of their first release. This (their 2nd) is much better but not as good as the third (3rd=The Black Parade - which is the most recent at the time of this review).

This album is good, it shows promise, and it has a few real gems. However there are too many disposable and/or forgettable tracks for me to give it 5 stars.

Cryptic, Thrilling and a wonderful plot
Rating: 5/5
My Chemical Romance's second CD is a tribute to their unique style. It is similar to having a rock opera occur in your head. Each song builds upon the story line first introduced within the first few lyrics of the first song. Gerard Way's vocals and the different guitar beats that the band members develop play together in harmony complimenting one another. The message of loss, revenge and the struggle to overcome tragedies in life beautifully mingle in each song. The tragic story the music holds touches the listener in ways only human empathy allows creating for the listener a moment in time to not feel alone.
