The Black Parade
My Chemical Romance's Masterpiece about Death!
My Chemical Romance proved themselves more than just a faddish emo band, with this stunning, anthemic, philosophical and surprisingly uplifting concept album all about facing death. It covers the fear, grief and acceptance related to death, while offering hope that the memories of the dead will help them live on.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Countdown to Pearl Harbor: The Twelve Days To The Attack
Countdown to Pearl Harbor: The Twelve Days To The Attack by Steve Twomey I really wasn’t expecting much of this read; I grabbed it while I was at Pearl Harbor because how could I not get a book while I was there?

Kept alive in our memories & the memory of all that is, however you name your higher power.
I love an MCR/Black Parade moment! What a jam - and the music video is great too. Always felt a little like "Bohemian Rhapsody" to me
Awesome review. MCR is so iconic. I finally saw them live this year!!!
I was so addicted to this song back in 2007! Loved your review!
Interesting critique Paul. I am not quite familiar with the concept, but my interest is piqued. Worth a look.
As an authentic elder emo, I heavily approve of any content involving the pinnacles of my youth. Don't forget to mention MCR's comeback!
I never got into my chemical romance until my 14 year old daughter did!
A great review Paul. Compact word count but each choice expands in the mind to a full essay.
Fantastic review!!! Loving it!!!
WHEN I WAS. A YOUNG BOY. MY FATHER. TOOK ME INTO THE CITY. TO SEE A MARCHING BAND. I love MCR so much! This was great! 🥹
Good review!
