The Black Parade

Product Information

This record has big grand songs like "Welcome To The Black Parade" right on the inner grooves, which definitely contributes to the lackluster sound of this record. On October 21, the band was the musical guest on an episode of Saturday Night Live, where they performed "Welcome to the Black Parade" and "Cancer". The album tells the story of his apparent death, experiences in the afterlife, and subsequent reflections on his life. Something that 20 or 30 years from now, parents could play for their kids and say, 'This is what I was listening to when I was your age.

This is based on singer Gerard Way's notion of death appearing to a person in the form of their fondest memory, in this case seeing a marching band as a child. I don’t care: If I had to work at McDonald's for the rest of my life to play shows and ride in a van on tour? It contains 14 tracks, but the 14th track is the song "Heaven Help Us" (which was released with the single version of " Welcome to the Black Parade"), instead of the song "Blood". Two months before its release, an early version of "Welcome to the Black Parade", titled "The Five of Us Are Dying", was made available for streaming. Comprised of various labels we know and love at Rough Trade (Bella Union, ATO, Speedy Wunderground, Phantasy, Heavenly, Mute and more) PIAS [Recordings] filter through some of the most diverse artistry to our racks, which we greatly enjoy digging into.The version of The Black Parade that was released in Japan contains different content than the other regular editions. The limited edition boxed set also earned My Chemical Romance a nomination at the 2008 Grammy Awards. The album debuted at number two on both the Billboard 200 and the UK Albums Chart and is also certified as triple-platinum in the United States by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and the United Kingdom by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI), as well as gold certifications in both Argentina by the Argentine Chamber of Phonograms and Videograms Producers (CAPIF) and Chile by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry Chile.

Usually on records you're gonna see the louder more intense tracks on the outer grooves, and the more quiet tracks on the inner grooves, since you tend to get a bit more distortion on inner grooves. Released in Europe on October 23, 2006, and the United States on October 24, 2006, [1] through Reprise Records, it was produced by the band with Rob Cavallo, known for having produced multiple albums for the Goo Goo Dolls and Green Day. That being said, it's not PERFECT and the wall-of-sound production is still very intact and of its time. Bryar left the tour on November 9, 2007, and was replaced by a friend of the band, who wished to remain anonymous.Unfortunately the sibilance on the hi-hats and cymbals make it sound a bit 128kbps mp3/YouTube stream quality, otherwise the vocals and other instruments sound good. The Smokey vinyl looks really nice and the discs themselves are perfectly flat with zero surface noise. Despite having 5x less the number of accounts who say they have it (89 vs 451), I've seen this black slipcase version maybe a dozen times on TradeMe in the last year (3 times in the last couple weeks even - twice in bulk CD lots), and I've seen the Australian no-slipcase version maybe twice, but I've *never* seen the white slipcase version for sale outside of Discogs.

The Black Parade has sold three million copies in the United States as of 2016, and four million worldwide. The songs are spread out across all four sides, rather than like on the new pressings which contain everything on three sides with an etching on side four. In its first week, the album sold 240,000 copies, far surpassing the 38,000 best-week sales of the band's previous album, Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge (2004).

The vinyl is flat and quiet, pressed on-center, the separation of instruments is very good (comparatively speaking, of course), it's dynamic, it's CHEAP.
