This will be a very, very long post. It'll also take me a very, very long time to write, and to "research". I don't even know why I'm doing this...
MCR is my favourite band, and I decided to listen to everything, in chronological order, and give it a short description and rating. I have sorted this list on album.
I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love
This is My Chem's first album. Spotify knows two versions of this album, but I couldn't find any notable difference.
Romance
The very first song on bullets, Romance, isn't really a song. It's just an intro. Therefore, I rate it a 2 out of 10.
Honey, This Mirror Isn't Big Enough For The Both Of Us
A good song to start with. It is a great average of the style of all of the other numbers on this album. The "Neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeveeeeeeer" part is really nice. I rate this 7/10.
Vampires will never hurt you
"I'LL NEVER LET THEM HURT YOU NOT TONIGHT"
This song got stuck in my head for days. A real banger, which very clearly serves as an inspiration for later music. I didn't know the word hearse until I started listening to MCR, a long long time ago. Rating: 9/10.
Drowning Lessons
"Without a sound and I wish you well"
You directly jump into the action in this one, no soft intro or anything. Nice tune. 7/10.
Our Lady Of Sorrows
"Please understand it has to be this way"
"We only got one chance to put this to an end"
Nice but not special. 7/10.
Headfirst for Halos
"I can't begin to let you know just what I'm feeling"
"Think happy thoughts"
The intro is nice. The story/lyrics are a bit dark. I like it overall. 8/10.
Skylines and Turnstiles
"Tell me where are you"
Really dark given it's written by Gee trying to process 11/9, but it's a good song. I rate it 8/10.
Early sunsets over Monroeville
"Late dawns and early suns, just like my favourite scene. Then holding hands and live was perfect, just like up on the screen. And the whole time always giving, counting your face among the living."
A bit slow, and a bit sad. But a banger! I like this song a lot. 10/10.
This is the best day ever
"Every hour, on the hour, they drew blood. Well, I felt I couldn't take another day inside this place. From silent dreams we never wake, and in this promise that we'll make. Starless eyes for heaven's sake, but I hear you anyway."
Way to short but a nice song. 9 of 10.
Cubicles
"This happens all the time. And I can't help but think I'll die alone."
A bit bland - it sounds precisely like all the other songs. But its nice anyway...
"I know you don't work here anymooooore!"
I rate this song 7/10.
Demolition Lovers
"And I'd say to you, "We could take to the highway with this trunk of ammunition too!""
Nice contrast between the slow and hard parts. Quite long, just the way we like it.
"Until the end of everything. I'm trying, I'm trying. To let you know how much you mean to me."
I rate it 9/10.
Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge
Lorem ipsum dolor sit et amet
Helena
"We are so far from you"
Banger but a bit overplayed.
"What's the worst that I can say? Things are better if I stay!"
Rate it 9/10.
Give 'em Hell Kid
"This is how we like to do it in the murder scene"
Nice song. The tune really sticks.
"If you were here, I'd never have a fear. So go on, live your life. But I miss you more than I did yesterdahahay!"
Solid 8 out of 10.
To the End
"Down by the pool, he doesn't have many friends."
The lyrics of this one are very nice.
"If you marry me. Would you bury me? Would you carry me to the end?"
I rate it 9/10.
You Know What They Do To Guys Like Us In Prison
"In the middle of a gunfight. In the center of a restaurant. They say, "Come with your arms raised high"."
I like it. It gots many memorable lines.
"Life is but a dream for the dead. And well I, I won't go down by myself. But I'll go down with my friends, yeah"
I rate this one 9/10.
"I'll kiss your lips again"
I'm Not Okay (I Promise)
"Another line without a hook"
Banger but a bit overplayed. ILLY MCMILLIN!!
"I've told you time and time again"
From the 10 this one gets 7.
The Ghost Of You
"And all the smiles that are ever going to haunt me"
Nice. The story is pretty deep in this one, but isn't it in basically all of these songs?
"If I fall"
8/10.
The Jetset Life Is Gonna Kill You
"And for the last night I lie. Could I lie with you?"
Nice. Nothing special. I like it! 8/10.
Interlude
Not really a song. It goes hard tho...
Thank You For The Venom
