I've been pumping My Chemical Romance for a while now, and was highly anticipating their new album. While I am not a fan of their new image, I LOVE The Black Parade. It's insane, twisted, dark, and beautiful.

But I couldn't pick a favorite MCR album, and I recommend everyone check them all out. They've gotten a bad rap because of the countries obsession with the word "emo" (don't get me started on how vague and idiotic this word is).

Their first CD "I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love" is by far their rawest, but it has a very authentic and genuine feel. "Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge" is a little more "pop" (again, stupid word), but they are faster and more action packed than anything else they have ever done. Listening to the album all the way through is exhausting, in a good way. But "The Black Parade" is something completely new, and could be the best mainstream rock album of the year.

Anyway, sorry to go off on a tangent.

Current Music I'm bumping yo:

The Decemberist - The Crane Wife (One of my favorite albums of the year, saw them live, amazing)
Two Gallants (Just got into them, and I'm obsessed)
Sunset Rubdown (Almost Bowie-like)

favorite albums would have to include ATLiens from outkast, it was written by nas, all eyez on me by pac, and wu-tang forever....

I am a huge john legend fan, james morrison is good...it is so hard to pick favorite nonrap albums for me....

I am also the same in that I love all different types of music...on any given day ill skip between something as soft as david gray/ben harper to something as hard as some old wutang or snoop dogg. I think that way helps to balance out my mental state a little.
