The Black Parade
I somehow managed to overlook My Chemical Romance for years before a friend recommended TBP. I listened and I've been fairly hooked ever since. With The Black Parade, MCR doesn't just dish out dark-and-raw emo-punk tracks. They combine the expected death-and-depression-bound subject matter with irresistibly catchy melodies (Mama), clever, tightly-controlled lyrics (Teenagers), and even poignancy (Cancer, Disenchanted). Emo-punk bands might not be everyone's cup of tea, as they say, but The Black Parade is definitely mine.
