Editorial Review:
My Chemical Romance frontman Gerard Way has alternately described his band's third album as "completely over the top" and "borderline psychotic." But even those words can't adequately prepare fans of the group's 2004 platinum major-label debut, Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge, for the onslaught of twisted song suites, glam-rock cannon fire and drama-club theatrics that make up The Black Parade. Tracks like "Mama" and "The End" make "Bohemian Rhapsody" sound like "Blitzkrieg Bop." It's no coincidence that the disc feels as dizzyingly monumental as Green Day's American Idiot--after all, the two albums share the same label, producer, studio, janitorial team, and sense of apocalyptic dread. Similarly, The Black Parade will cast its creators in a completely new light. Despite its overly histrionic tendencies and a totally oddball cameo from Liza Minelli, it offers a clear signal that My Chemical Romance is ready to be taken seriously. --Aidin Vaziri
The Black Parade, My Chemical Romance's follow-up to its 2004 platinum major-label debut Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge, "is way more dramatic, way more theatrical, completely over the top, borderline psychotic," says Gerard Way. "It's the most pure, intense thing we've ever been involved in." Producer by Rob Cavallo (Green Day), the album is a celebration of lvoe and death and darkness. Join The Black Parade. The Limited Edition special packaging features an 11-11/16" x 5-13/16", long skinny box with hinged lid, wrapped in black velveteen material, with a debossed design on the top. The 64-page bound paperback book inside the box is modeled after a Victorian-style photo album, and contains Gerard's drawings, making-of-the-album notes, and more.

Rating: - By FAR
One of the best concept albums ever, and one of the greatest bands there is, I have nothing negative to say about this album, nor the velvet casing, wich is an amazing package at a very affordable price,
I am Just Amazed by the cleverness of this band.
Rating: - Ultimate Black Parade
I'll start out that I own all 3 editions of The Black Parade; the standard store issue CD, the deluxe CD velvet box with booklet, and now the deluxe 2-LP edition. I would say that this is unquestionably the ultimate edition of The Black Parade. Starting out, if you own one of these albums, you are only 1 of 3000 individuals on the planet who have it. It's instantly collectible by that virtue alone. Please note that the editions are not numbered. The 180-gram heavy duty vinyl is, in a word, luxurious. ... Read More
Rating:  - 21st Century Classic Rock
I'll start out by saying that as a self-proclaimed rock aficionado, I was surprised to see that The Black Parade received this type of deluxe treatment here in the United States. Typically, this kind of packaging is done for the Japanese market and that's about it. Having said that, I think the only reason that a person would buy this is if they are like me--bought The Black Parade standard release and became transfixed on it and borderline obesessed with it to the point that it's almost the only thing that ...

Such a great product!!!! The cd was filled with great songs and the 72-page book kept me reading all night. The book really helps you see the struggles MCR went through as a band to get to where they are now and there's great commentary on each of the songs by members of the band. I highly reccommend this to any true MCR fan!! And even if you're not a fan, you'd still enjoy it.
