I decided to give MCR a shot after seeing them on SNL this week. They performed "The Black Parade" and "Cancer". The thing is, these are by far the strongest songs on the album and offer a significantly different sound. Why don't they do more of what they're doing right in these two songs? Instead, they seem to decay into a boring, obnoxious blend of emo, hardcore, and clutter. Download Cancer and The Black Parade, and put them on your playlist/mix instead.

Just so everyone knows they are nothing near Emo. They post modern hardcore punk, Officialy, and besides emo sucks. And also to add the black parade is ht best album they have put out to date. I wasnt a big fan untill this one was released. Its the first of there albums that I own. They have major Queen and thursday sounds even a lil bit of an ELO sound with layered vocals and what not.
