Artistic yet commercial Yet, this turned out to be a commercial product (probably unintentional) and you will pause to realize after you have given it a listen that it was worthy of another listen. The artists wanted to produce something that was hard edged, emotive and the result is dark. .
MCR
It's a little bit quirky, but that's MCR. I enjoyed it. They're different. Their music is whiny, depressing, funny, weird, and totally in touch with teens as far as the general confusion goes. lol! One thing is that they use extreme cuss words when they're not needed, so finding amended version made me REALLY happy. I give it two thumbs up. . . I only wish "three cheers for sweet revenge" was in a clean version because then I'd buy that one too.
Great gift!
She could still enjoy this great CD without me offending any parents. I am a huge fan of MCR, and I do not buy edited versions, but for a birthday gift for a friend's child, I found it to be perfect. .
This CD *IS* clean.
And besides a CD that is clean doesn't necessarily have no swearing. Yeah, there are some S-bombs but the F-bombs are completely bleeped out.
Do you like Incubus? They have a CD called Make Yourself and it has F-Bombs that AREN'T bleeped out.
Why would you need a CD that's not explicit just cause you're in school anyway?
Don't we all have iPods or other mp3 players where the sound only goes to OUR ears anyway?
K. Moving on.
The first time or two that I heard this CD nothing really stuck out as catchy or noteworthy besides Cancer. That one stuck out right away.
Now all the singles plus Cancer, Sleep and Mama and such stick out and I'm ready to give this CD about 4 stars.
I'm rounding it up because the other guys complained because it wasn't clean. I only got this version because it was way cheaper than the unedited version (used). Usually, I CAN'T STAND edited stuff. But they still drop S-bombs here so I was pleased.
Standouts (no order):
The End, Sleep, Cancer (my favorite), Mama, Famous Last Words, Teenagers and Disenchanted.
end note: (11-4-08, 7:13 am) I want to get to know this CD more before I stamp an accurate rating on it. But it's somewhere around 4 stars.

My Chemical Romance Deserves Better
What you get is a shorter version of Welcome to the Black Parade, all swears intact (including F-Bombs), and the sense that you just waisted money. This isn't clean. I bought the Limited Edition CD (which is essentialy the same as the regular album with a different box) and then bought this so I could listen to the songs in school. I was so pissed off to find out they didn't edit a single swear. Just buy the real CD.
