A love letter to my favorite band, My Chemical Romance. From Wikipedia, "My Chemical Romance is an American rock band from New Jersey. The band's current lineup consists of lead vocalist Gerard Way, lead guitarist Ray Toro, rhythm guitarist Frank Iero, and bassist Mikey Way."

The aim of this page isn't so much to inform, though I will do my best to provide accurate information. I really just needed a place to talk to myself. So! Here I've organized everything by album for simplicity though I'll also include b sides, demos and unreleased songs. These are just my opinions and my own incoherent feelings. Enjoy!

I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love is their first, and my favorite, album; released on July 23rd 2002 on Eyeball Records (on which they were label mates with my other favorite band Murder by Death check out Gerard screaming on their track "The Devil in Mexico").To be clear I love every one of their albums, but the rawness of Bullets makes it feel so personal. I believe the emotions being presented to me with all my heart. As familiar to me as a friend, Bullets has been there when I needed to scream and cry driving through deserted streets at night. And in those moments its given me hope, that I'm not in this alone. For me it captures the angst of early adulthood. Beyond how much this album resonates with me personally, I think it's just a crazy ass debut album. Maybe not what I would recommend for first time MCR listeners but I absolutely recommend it if you're into abrasive rock with a soft and gooey center.

And you can cry all you want to I don't care how much you'll invest yourself in me. And if the sun comes up, will it tear the skin right off our bones? And then, as razor sharp white teeth rip out our necks I saw you there.

Oh how wrong we were to think that immortality meant never dying. You're not in this alone. Let me break this awkward silence. Let me go. Go on record. Be the first to say I'm sorry... Steel corpses stretch out towards an ending sun, scorched and black. It reaches in and tears your flesh apart. As ice cold hands, rip into your heart. That's if you've still got one that's left. Inside that cave you call a chest. And after seeing what we saw, can we still reclaim our innocence? And if the world needs something better, let's give them one more reason now. And there's no room in this Hell, there's no room in the next. But does anyone notice there's a corpse in this bed? Someday. This day. Set the ferris wheel ablaze. You left my heart an open wound, and I love you for. Sometimes I think I'll die alone. Live and breath and die alone. I think I'd like to die alone. I think I'll love to die alone. All we are is bullets, I mean this...As lead rains. Pass on through. Our phantoms. Forever and ever. Like scarecrows. That fuel this flame. We're burning. Forever and ever. Know how much I want to show you you're the only one. Like a bed of roses there's a dozen reasons in this gun.

Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge (often shortened to Three Cheers or Revenge)[1] is the second studio album by American rock band My Chemical Romance, released on June 8, 2004, by Reprise Records.[2][3] With this album, the band produced a more polished sound than that of their 2002 debut I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love.[4] It was the band's first release to feature rhythm guitarist Frank Iero on all tracks, as well as the final release to feature drummer Matt Pelissier, who would later be replaced by Bob Bryar.[5] The album received positive reviews from critics and was a commercial success for both the band and the Reprise label.[6] The record produced three singles—"I'm Not Okay (I Promise)", "Helena", and "The Ghost of You".[4][failed verification] It was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) less than a year after its release,[3] and has sold over three million copies in the United States.[6] Em Casalena of American Songwriter stated that the album is "essential listening" for 2000s emo.[7] In April 2025, a "deluxe edition" of the album—featuring all of the original tracks remixed and four new, previously unreleased live records—was announced. It was released on June 6, 2025.[8]

The Black Parade is the third studio album by American rock band My Chemical Romance, first released on October 23, 2006, through Reprise Records. A predominantly emo, alternative rock, pop-punk, hard rock, and punk rock, and glam rock, concept album, it is centered on the story of a dying man with cancer known as "The Patient", as he nears the end of his life. The album was produced by the band alongside Rob Cavallo, and is the band's only studio album to feature Bob Bryar on drums before his departure in 2010. Work began on the album in early 2006, with the band being influenced by the success and expectations set by their previous studio album, Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge (2004). Aiming to outdo that album in as much as they could, Gerard Way came up with the idea to make it a concept album. Recording for the album took place from April to August 2006, with most of the album being written and recorded while the band secluded themselves within the Paramour Mansion. Due to their seclusion from the outside world during the album's production, the band members—particularly bassist Mikey Way, faced several mental health issues that would eventually hinder the production of the album and influence the creation of several songs. The Black Parade received generally favorable reviews from critics. The album was a commercial success, debuting at number two on both the Billboard 200 and the UK Albums Chart. It has been certified as 4× platinum in the United States, 3× platinum in the United Kingdom, as well as gold in both Argentina and Chile. It was also given the Platinum Europe Award by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry. The album was supported by four singles: "Welcome to the Black Parade", which was the band's first number one single in the United Kingdom, "Famous Last Words", "I Don't Love You", and "Teenagers". In support of the album, My Chemical Romance embarked on the Black Parade World Tour from February 2007 to May 2008. In the years since its release, The Black Parade has been revered by music journalists as one of, if not the most important album to the history of the emo music genre. It left a profound impact on the sound of emo music, with it largely ending the dominance of emo-pop and influencing the sound of future rappers, numerous metalcore bands, contemporary pop artists, as well as film soundtracks. The album also left a significant impact on alternative culture and fashion as a whole, and propelled My Chemical Romance to become a global phenomenon, with the album being considered the band's defining work. The record was reissued as The Black Parade/Living with Ghosts in 2016, in celebration of the tenth anniversary of the album's release. In 2020, Rolling Stone ranked the album number 361 in its updated list of the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time".

Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys (often referred to as simply Danger Days) is the fourth studio album by the American rock band My Chemical Romance, released on November 22, 2010, by Reprise Records. Its songs are associated with the band's well known sound of alternative rock, pop-punk, and punk rock, along with an introduction of new musical elements, including power pop, pop rock, and electronic rock. The primary musical inspiration for the album came from contemporary rock, psychedelic rock, and proto-punk bands of the sixties and seventies. It was the final album released by the band before their six-year disbandment from 2013 to 2019. Like the band's previous album The Black Parade, Danger Days is a rock opera. The album's storyline takes place in post-apocalyptic California in 2019, where a group of rebellious outsiders known as Killjoys battle against an evil corporation. In 2013, frontman Gerard Way published a comic miniseries that continued the story described in the album. To promote the album, the band embarked on a world tour, titled The World Contamination Tour. It lasted from October 2010 to February 2012, and included concerts in Europe, North America, Asia and Oceania; the band also co-headlined the 10th Annual Honda Civic Tour with Blink-182. Danger Days received generally positive reviews from critics and sold 112,000 copies in its first week, debuting at the top of the Billboard Rock Albums and Alternative Albums charts, and at number 8 on the Billboard 200.[10] It also appeared in the music charts in several other countries. By February 2011, Danger Days had sold over a million copies worldwide.[11]
