perfect from start to finish
WAY too low, I was sure this would be a top tenner

can't believe it was only on 5/30 ballots!

Never listened to MCR because I always thought they were nu-metal or something. I guess I should?

― Lebro v. Wade (Spottie), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:03 (nine years ago)
helena one of the best videos ever
Damn. Why didn't anyone tell me?
― ArchCarrier, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:04 (nine years ago)
@ArchCarrier can't make it Friday but it's a good idea for sometime later!
MCR and I never gelled.
― Le Bateau Ivre, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:04 (nine years ago)
this album was my gateway into discovering that I was wrong to ignore mainstream emo
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:05 (nine years ago)
I guess I have listened to this album before? "Helena" is super familiar.
― THAC0 Pastorius (Tom Violence), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:05 (nine years ago)
helena was EVERYWHERE. such a perfect belter
― Lebro v. Wade (Spottie), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:07 (nine years ago)
i understand why they're maligned by serious music fans bc mcr is like the quintessential hot topic band but also the album is hot fire straight thru.
― Mordy, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:08 (nine years ago)
also for new MCR converts do not sleep on Black Parade and particularly "Teenagers"
― Mordy, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:09 (nine years ago)
Ghost Of You is my fav on here
― Lebro v. Wade (Spottie), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:09 (nine years ago)
Does this mean Black Parade isn't going to place? That would be a shame.
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:09 (nine years ago)
i could be coy but honestly if it doesn't place it's not like we're coming back to it so get yr black parade comments out now imho
― Mordy, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:10 (nine years ago)
'Teenagers' is forever associated in my mind with the memory of tarantino telling zane lowe it was his favourite song at the time
― devvvine, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:11 (nine years ago)
picking my fav three cheers song is like..... impossible, but it's this one probably

lol yeah I didn't mean to make it sound like I was asking you specifically, just general worrying/angst. such a great album, rare combo of ambition and execution xxp
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:12 (nine years ago)
just every song on this album is BURSTING with melodies
― the raindrops and drop tops of lived, earned experience (BradNelson), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:12 (nine years ago)
"Thank you for the Venom" is so adorable, it always sounds like kiddie thrash to me (in a good way)
my fave is the closer, which I can never sit or stand still for
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:13 (nine years ago)
kiddie thrash yessss
― Lebro v. Wade (Spottie), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:13 (nine years ago)
MCR was certainly not everywhere in my part of the world: only 'Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na)' and 'Welcome to the Black Parade' ever hit the Dutch top 100, peaking at very respectable places 86 and 92.
― ArchCarrier, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:14 (nine years ago)
lol "Na Na Na" is so fucking good
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:14 (nine years ago)
yeah the closer is https://media.tenor.co/images/3d2185564be57aeb8a4d761d19b1cb23/raw

so DEEP AND DOWN WE GO
― the raindrops and drop tops of lived, earned experience (BradNelson), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:16 (nine years ago)
Wait, you don't expect The Black Parade to place higher than this? I thought that was like THE ilx emo record.
― Guy Pidgeotto (Tom Violence), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:17 (nine years ago)
I don't know anything anymore, everything I believed in is a lie (/emo)

damn there is gonna be so much SDRE in this top 50 huh

hell yeah
― gr8080, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:24 (nine years ago)
Fuck yeah! This is the best swan song EVER. My #3.
― ArchCarrier, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:25 (nine years ago)
this is not the one I voted for but it's good!
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:25 (nine years ago)
beautiful record
― the raindrops and drop tops of lived, earned experience (BradNelson), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:28 (nine years ago)
i think i didn't realize how good it was until paramore covered "faces in disguise" on the riot tour
i left this off my ballot and had Dairy in its place, which is stupid bc this is prob the SDRE i love the most
my circle of friends in lolcollege had 2 bros who listened to metal exclusively and when this album came out we evangelized to them relentlessly until they became dudes who listened to metal and the new SDRE exclusively. about a dozen of us went and saw them on this tour together and were so zealous in our singing along and swaying that most of the rest of the audience took note and the band at one point acknowledged us
― gr8080, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:32 (nine years ago)
awesome
― Lebro v. Wade (Spottie), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:33 (nine years ago)
this album is way more Pearl Jam than emo imo, but who cares
― gr8080, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:33 (nine years ago)
singing along and swaying
― ArchCarrier, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:34 (nine years ago)
exactly.
but we looked cooler and the music sounded way better
― gr8080, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:38 (nine years ago)
Anyone who thinks Diary is better should listen to 'Disappear'. Or 'Snibe'.
Or their very best song, which they put in the final spot on their final release:
