Produced by Rob Cavallo, who also produced platinum records from Phil Collins, Shinedown, Goo Goo Dolls, and many more, My Chemical Romance’s 2006 album The Black Parade propelled the young band into arena-level status upon its release. Debuting at #2 on the Billboard 200 in its first week of release, the concept and story-driven record wore its Queen, David Bowie, and Beatles references on its sleeves in the form of a rock opera.
Released on October 23rd, 2006, the album contains popular MCR tracks like “Teenagers”, “Famous Last Words”, and of course the title track (which is a meme in itself), the album is among the defining albums of the mid-2000s. Revisit it below right along with us, and if you’ve never listened to the record in its entirety, it’s admittedly pretty solid, even if you’re not a huge fan of the band.
