We here at Vinyl Revival are not ashamed to admit we are fans of My Chemical Romance. Yeah sure, they have become immensely popular and most of their current fans are probably girls between the ages of 13-16 that think they are "emo" because no one understands them so they shop at Hot Topic and rebel by dying that one pink streak in their hair.
If you take the band away from their fan base, My Chemical Romance always has been and still is a great band. Their latest release, The Black Parade, indulges in the 70's theatrical styles artists like Queen and David Bowie and mixes it with their own sound they perfected with 2004's Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge.
Now they are re-releasing The Black Parade as a special edition double LP. Only 2,500 copies are being pressed, and while that may seem a lot for vinyl purists, remember how many more fans MCR has than most bands. This special edition can be pre-ordered at their website right here. Sure, $45 might seem a little pricey, but the packaging alone looks like it will be worth it.
And for people who bash My Chemical Romance, maybe you can appreciate one of their older songs of their first album I Brought You My Bullets...You Brought Me Your Love, "Honey, This Mirror Ain't Big Enough For The Two of Us":
