The conditions of TBP's creation are quite interesting, notably because the band locked themselves up in a haunted manor and every band member was mentally unwell. It is also known for being more experimental tha the previous ones.
There is probably no surprise when I say that The Black Parade is my favorite MCR album hehe. Mama was the first MCR song I ever heard, ad I fell in love immediatly. I remember downloading the rest of the album on deezer and then forgetting to listen to it. Then I made my mom listen to Mama and she said "oh this is good, have you listened to their other songs ?". So I listened to the rest of the album and... for some readon I didn't like it too much ? I have no idea what was going on inside my head but thank Arceus i went back and listened again because I would've been a
very different person if I didn't listen to MCR
Unreleased fifth album : The Paper Kingdom
