The song sounds like MCR covering gypsy-punks Gogol Bordello: which doesn't work. While the album in general is strong throughout, there are weaker moments such as Mama which interestingly has Liza Minelli adding guest vocals. While a lot of songs may sound musically, not too distant from their others albums, Gerard Way uses his voice 'theatrically' to add more effect to the lyrics and makes the album stand out on its own. It is similar to House Of Wolves which has a better use of dynamics, and is faster throughout. Dead! is one of the strongest songs on the album, written much in the vein of You Know What They Do To Guys Like Us In Prison from their previous, aforementioned album. Lead single Welcome To The Black Parade demonstrates this well, with it's slow intro leading into a repeat of epic proportions and finally giving way to their old ways of fast upbeat punk. This variation can be said for the album in general, as there are equal doses of slow and steady, old MCR-punk and now, the pomp of Queen. starts the album off slowly, with an acoustic guitar and Gerard's vocals "Now come on, come all to this tragic affair." before switching to a huge soundingīridge, but goes back to the acoustics soon, and then alternates between the two extremes throughout the song.

In other words 'The Black Parade' looks set to further the divide between love and hate for this band. Album number three from the New Jersey quintet looks set to fuel the fire of hatred for some and to be loved by others. But when a band has success, there will be those who hate the band and claim they 'sold out'-and if their bottling at Reading Festival this year is anything to go by, MCR have quite a few haters. Ever since 'Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge' came into public consciousness, My Chemical Romance have been riding what seems like a neverending wave of success.
