Thoughts on Gerard Way's first solo album?
he's the worst billy corgan imitation I've seen
>>64341623
I love it. It feels like matured MCR + britpop.
Fuck, I hate this guy
>>64341857
why? he's one of us

Gerard is kinda based in all honesty. From what I've seen in interviews I like the guy.
>>64341623
I wasn't crazy about MCR but it was much much better.
>>64341697
Speaking of Billy, where is Machina remix/reissue? Plus I wish he'll make another great album... Things have been kinda bleak for ol' Billy boy.
>>64343655
Billy said that the reissue was tied up in legal issues with the record label, so we probably won't get it for a while.
>>64343655
Billy's probably been too busy working for a dying wrestling company while owning a bad wrestling company to get anything done.
>>64341909
it's a lot better than I thought it'd be
Cool
>>64348329
Lol, samefagging the thread from being archived much?
>>64348344
OP posts don't bump the thread
assuming you didn't find this at the end of the catalog
>>64348381
They sure do.
>>64348344
why make two threads?
album is pretty underrated. worth a stint in the catalog
MCR is literally the most underrated bands of all time. They fucking rock but they'll always get shit on because of their fan base.
>>64341904
epic. i love the twitter ironic meme. the popular kids at my brothers high school are even into it.
>>64341623
better than MCR, but then again it's not that hard to be better than that whiny pseduo-emo trash
>>64348499
How the fuck can this board discuss Death Grips, Swans, and all these other great artists and also praise absolute dogshit like MCR and TBS? I swear it doesn't make any sense to me, they are so generic and there are so many other bands within their own genre that do what they do much much better.
>>64349774
such as?
I mean seriously, recommend some good stuff to me.
>>64349774
nice bait
>>64349774
>implying swans is not pretentious liquid shit
>>64349774
>Swans
>great
at least people don't pretend to enjoy MCR
>>64348344
go back to /r9k/
>>64349805
For "emo-pop" that these two bands do.
Saves the Day
Brand New
The Get Up Kids
Say Anything
The Promise Ring
As for the pop-punk style that they incorporate too
Green Day
(pre-FUTCT) Fall Out Boy
The Academy Is....
Mayday Parade
>>64349856
>>64349857
I like Swans and MCR. You obviously have to listen to them in different ways. Hint: you don't "rock out" to Swans but enjoy the elegant form of the songs instead. Comparing them is retarded. Also MCR is clearly a frontrunner in whatever genre they're supposed to be and not some second rate act.
>>64348499
saw this nice review of the Black Parade that is pretty accurate:
"Whiny, fake, obnoxious, unoriginal and plagairsed, overblown, overwrought, cliché, silly, irritating, insufferable, hammy and overly melodramatic nonsense."
>>64350051
>copies from every similar band around their time period
>considered a frontrunner
kek
>>64350133
that wasn't very nice at all
>>64350133
Throw that line at any of your favorite albums (heck it works for books and movies too) and watch it start to make sense.
Seriously try it.
>>64350030
>recommending brand new and be academy is...
>thinks he can shit on anyone's taste
hahahahhahahhaa
The guy seems p good at writing a catchy pop song. There's some song on this album, I forget the name, but it was a single and it was stuck in my head for ages when it came out. Music video was like an old 80s tv show or some shit. It was good. And I like the black parade but that may be nostalgia.
>>64350277
This board may have no hope if there's people who thing Brand New is not a good band, and especially fucked if people thing TBS is better than Brand New.
>>64349774
it's like how people can read tolstoy or joyce, but at the same time enjoy vonnegut, or haruki murakami or dr seuss
thursday is the best emo band
>>64350404
Brand New are shit, put aside your teenage memories.
>>64349774
>Swans
>DG
>great

it may not have been as creative as some people give it credit for, but it was well produced and brought the genre to mcr fans
i went to gw concert cuz i enjoy his solo stuff, got to meet him, he was p chill
>venue still full of annoying little girls
>>64350404
most emo music is fucking garbage to begin with
>>64350426
Taking Back Sunday was better.
>>64350030
>Doesn't like FUTCT
>Doesn't like MCR
Did you even have your emo phase yet brah?
>>64341623
For some reason I was under the impression he went full post-punk on it.
It was ok, not terrible
just listened to helena today actually, great song.
no interest in listening to his solo stuff though
>>64341623
I like it because it's nothing like MCR.
>>64350133
I personally don't like that album but that review irks me more than any positive review simply because of how broad and lazy it is. You might as well not write anything at all if you're just going to throw a bunch of words in with no warrant or evidence.
>>64350030
>Green Day
>better than MCR
hahahah nice meme
MCR are technically better and are way more ambitious. Their first two albums are better than anything Green Day have ever done (the exception may be American Idiot).
>>64351665
eh, i don't know if three cheers is better than kerplunk or insomniac (though i haven't listened to it in ages), but yeah bullets definitely is.
>>64351342
early fob is fucking shit garbage kill yourself
>>64351765
I bet you like Uma Thurman you severely autisic fuccboi
>>64351931
>Uma Thurman
you rekt him to death m8...
>>64351931
i bet youre so far up pete wentzs loose asshole youll listen to anything he shits out. at least srar and abap even folie were fucking interesting and each track sounded somewhat different. early fob all sounds the same.
>>64352016
>i bet youre so far up pete wentzs loose asshole
You say that like it's a bad thing anon.
Music in general is garbage. I only post here for the sweet memes
Gerard Way is a fantastic artist and this album is great. I am looking forward to his new work.
