Aquired: January 2022 from record store

Favorite song: The Sharpest Lives

I bought this with Christmas money. Choosing between Bullets and this as my second-favorite album is a difficult, because they're both in second place equally, but I think that this album is second. Revenge is my favorite for its harder, raw sound and storytelling, and while The Black Parade has a much more polished sound than any of their previous works, this one still has the amazing storytelling. I also think that the story is easier to see than in Revenge, like you can just feel it in the songs. MCR really just went all-out with this album, because its larger than life, has a better recording quality than Revenge, and its so iconic too. If someone only knows one MCR song, its going to be Welcome To The Black Parade.
