The new breed of rock music, for anyone wanna try new stuff. December 22, 2004
169 out of 208 found this review helpful

The winning formula of My Chemical Romance (MCR) is a mixture of four totally different styles, Gothic/British vocal and lyric, "Sonic youth"-ish type of rhythm guitar, neck-breaking "Metal"-ish guitar solo, and punk/emo rhythm, and this album (their second album and first major label release) show what is the best answer they can work out from the formula.

This 13 tracks disc is a combination of strong melodies, smart and exciting arrangement, breath-taking guitar solo, the mix-up of emo/punk rhythm and guitar solo is refeshing and sucessful twist, they sucessfully made turn and twist and stop, nothing really innovative here, but they just combined things that we already knew in smart and effective ways, in order to push and pull listeners to different climax and scenes, and the "Romeo and Juliet" inspired lyrics are sentimental and powerful, listen to "Thank You for the Venom", "I Never Told You What I Do for a Living", "Helena" and their first single "I'm Not Okay (I Promise)", you might feel weird at first, but you'll find yourselves singing their tunes while you have nothing to do soon.

A step up from their prior release! September 23, 2004

I was impressed with them in I Brought You Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love but not floored. They came out with this new release and I picked it up out of curiousity.

This time, they floored me. The music is nothing short of amazing. I had chills going up and down my spine when I heard the first track Helena. The riffs, and tunes are catchy, and the singer's voice is really filled with emotion. You can feel the music.

My favorite track on the album is probably I'm Not OKay. The song is amazing. Catchy and a great song to sing your lungs out to, especially if you can identify with their message.

If you are looking for something kind of like Finch/Taking Back Sunday/Thursday I would reccommend this. It's not the same, it's just sort of like them. My Chemical Romance is more hardcore ballad like, with fast guitars and heavy beats..

A sound choice, if I do say so myself.

Hi, I don't know if you know me or not, but I'm NOT your typical high school teenager. I have dyed black hair, and wear a tie with my punk clothes to show that I am a rebel. I listen to experimental music like My Chemical Romance, because they don't sing that stupid corporate rock like Britney Spears that all the fat-cats in Washington listen to. I'm about angst, so you should know that, I feel real deep anger at the world for all the suffering and torment I have been through, like when my parent's wouldn't drive me to Hot Topic to buy me these totally boss black shirts. You see, no one else wears black and acts angry, so I alone have to step up and fill the void. Whenever my parents get mad at me I yell in their faces, "I'm not okay!" and believe you me, they get the message.

I wear black clothes, and have sex with dead bodies. I am the only person that's alive. my feelings are the only one's that matter. I use drugs and drink alcohol so people will think i'm cool. i watch mtv and am extremly rebellious. Look out world. When I'm not hanging out at hot topic or hating my family. I usually cook babies in the fryer at burger king and feed them to customers. sorry, i have to go apply more makeup so people will feel sorry for me.

Very different than the first, but equally great!!! June 11, 2004

If youre going to be like everyone else and compare this cd to their first cd, "I brought you my bullets..." with hopes of it being along the same lines, then you may be a little disappointed...like I was at first. But after I listened to the whole thing through the first time (thats all it took) it ranked equally high, if not higher, than their first album. It may have a more pop-punk influence with less screaming but it definitely has more energy. Even the songs packed with emotion like The Ghost of You are full of energy. Plus, every song is catchy. In fact, I have never heard an album as catchy as this. Excellent vocals by the way.

1. Helena-Excellent choice to put this song first. I listened to this about 8 times in a row before moving on to track 2. One of the most catchy and energetic songs on this cd. 10/10
2. Give em Hell Kid-Another energetic song, try not moving to this one. 9/10
3. To the End-well...more energy. Awesome guitar/vocal combination in this song. Awesome lyrics too. 9/10
4. You know what they do to guys...-Very cool intro to this song, kind of jazzy. One of the harder choruses on the album. Very catchy. Probably my third favorite. 10/10
5. Im Not Okay-"You said you read me like a book, but the pages are all torn and frayed"-good song and very emotional. Catchy and more punk sounding than others. Energetic, just like all others. 10/10
6. The Ghost of You-Wow! My definite favorite. Best chorus I have ever heard and great lyrics. "at the top of my lungs, in my arms she dies, she dies" Most emotion in this one, but still hits as hard as the others. I like that. 11/10
7. The Jetset life is gonna kill me-Great hard hitting chorus and good all around song. 9/10
8. Interlude-just an interlude, nothing special
9. Thank you for the venom-"Love is the red of the rose on your coffin door, What's life like, bleeding on the floor,
the floor, the floor" Some of the best lyrics. Not AS catchy as the rest though. 10/10
10. Hang em high-has a old country sounding intro, very cool. Very fast paced song. Full of energy but the chorus is not all that catchy. But cool nonetheless. 8.5/10
11. Its not a fashion statement...-"this hole that you put me in wasn't deep enough and i'm climbing out right now " Another song with very good lyrics. Energetic and catchy, no complaints. 10/10
12. Cemetery Drive-one of my favorites. I love the chorus and the lyrics. The lyrics in this song most resemble their first album the most I think. Good subtle guitar parts during the verse. Very cool. 10/10
13. I never told you what I do for a living-my second favorite and the song with the most screaming. "another knife in my hands
a stain that never comes off the sheets clean me off im so dirty babe" "they gave us two shots to the back of the head
and we're all dead now." -good lyrics too. Ending of the song is really good. 10/10
