No topic for this? Anyway, I haven't picked this up yet, and was wondering what people's thoughts are on the new album.

Really? I thought I was reading a discussion about it somewhere? Maybe I was looking at the thread for the single in the alternative forum

Its a good album, they did a very good job with it. I can only see myself listening to it for a couple of weeks and then completely ignoring it though. But for the hardcore fans, it will be their favorite album of the year.

Not a hardcore fan or anything, but I think "Welcome to..." is decent, so I'm kinda on the fence about getting what will be a 'decent' album.

That's promising.... I should probably just listen for myself to decide if I want to own it. |

From the soundscan thread:
<<<<My Chemical Romance checks in at No. 2 with "The Black Parade," the follow-up to its 2004 breakthrough album "Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge." Fueled by the lead single "Welcome To The Black Parade," the Reprise set sold 240,000 copies, dwarfing the 38,000-unit debut week for "Three Cheers.">>>>
Strong opening... and people really love their Disney.

So, I ended up getting this.... pretty good actually, there are more good songs than I expected. What does everyone else think?
41 39 MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE BLACK PARADE,THE 51,222 57 32,694 549,230
So far, are these sales better or worse than expected? And how do you think it'll end up?

I got it a few weeks back. Haven't gotten in to it yet but I did like what I've listened to so far. It took me awhile to get into Green Day too. Rock music isn't really my choice when I want something to listen to. It took me a few months to get into Green Day's CD because I didn't listen to it, not because the songs took a long time to grow on me.
I think this album will be big in 2007.

I'm a little disappointed in this choice. When I listen to it, I think it's a great song and is perfect for closing their album with (which is exactly why it does). I do not, however, hear "successful radio song" when I listen. It will do fine because of who they are and because "Welcome to the Black Parade" is such a success, but it's not the best choice they could've made for a surefire follow-up smash. By the way, the beginning of their new album reminds me of the beginning of Good Charlotte's last CD (if you skip track 1): A reasonably short mission statement song, if you will, that starts out with stripped down acoustic guitar and vocal all with a hospital life support system underneath, which reappears at the end to bleed right into the next track. |

In my opinion, best disc of the year (I bought 50+ discs this year). I liked the singles from Three Cheers, but wasn't blown away by the whole album. I picked up Black Parade b/c it was on sale. I like every song on the disc (an oddity these days) and can realistically point to 6-7 songs that could be singles. Very strong and diverse. I was pleasantly surprised.

I was quite impressed with the album.... yeah, the guy's voice is a bit unique..... but, it's not too annoying on these tracks...... it's a pretty cohesive album - it's quite a ride the whole way through...
