Near perfect album, this is what a Rock Opera should sound like. Vocal performance by Gerard Way is phenomenal throughout the album, and the tone of each song fits throughout the album. Multiple songs you can come back to by themselves and you can thoroughly enjoy them (welcome to the black parade, Mama, Teenagers).
Best Song- Welcome to the black parade
Worst song- Blood
While I appreciate Eminem's attempt to be more vulnerable, and talking about politics but the majority of this album is hard to listen to.

Track 4: "When I ... read more
