I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love

So people are talking and obsessing about Gerard's supposed infatuation with vampires - and now they're being called like satanic and 'creepy' and whatnot. There is one song, "Vampires will never hurt you", and it's not referring to REAL VAMPIRES, people, it's a metaphor for people who try to take everything from you. If you do a bit of research, or even listened a bit harder, you MIGHT realize that. geez. It's not satanic or creepy or anything else dumb, he just thinks of lyrics that go over most people's heads.

It IS pretty dark and brooding, but it's definitely worth a listen. If you've heard the new cd and want to listen to the old music, it's quite a bit different. I wouldn't say Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge is better because they're way too different to compare them, but the new cd probably appeals to a larger fanbase.

Track 1 (Romance) is the intro. Nothing really special, it is interesting, no vocals.

Track 2 (Honey, this mirror isn't big enough for the two of us) is a really good song with awesome lyrics. pretty screamy. 13/10

Track 3 (Vampires will never hurt you) isn't really one of my favorites, it seems to be pretty popular with other people though. Not the best lyrics, in my opinion, but not as terribly bad as other people make it sound. 7/10

Track 4 (Drowning lessons) isn't one of my favorites but it's not horrible. 8/10

Track 5 (Our lady of sorrows) is my favorite song by MCR, it's amazing. He drops the f-bomb quite a bit more than neccessary but this song rocks and if you get past all the cussing, the lyrics are really good. 15/10

Track 6 (Headfirst for halos) is also an awesome song, but i think it'll need clarification for all the people out there that refuse to think on a deeper level. The song's talking about 'i think i'll blow my brains against the ceiling'.. and it gets even more graphic than that. Well, before anyone thinks he's a suicidal maniac, in an interview he explained it like this: it's supposed to be ironic, the poppiest, most upbeat song being about killing yourself. Creative. 10/10

Track 7 (Skylines and turnstiles) isn't one of my favorites, but it's not too horrible. 9/10

Track 8 (Early Sunsets over Monroeville) is an awesome song. It's more emo than most of the cd, quieter and softer (to me, kind of bright eyes sounding). Amazing. it could be interpreted as a bit weird though. 10/10

Track 9 (This is the best day ever) is okay. Not one of my favorites but like the others, it's not HORRIBLE. Pretty fast and upbeat. Easy to listen to. 8/10

Track 10 (Cubicles) is another one i'm not a particular fan of. It's decent. Gets on my nerves a little bit. 8/10

Track 11 (Demolition Lovers) IS AMAZING! One of the only 6 minute songs i am completely into. Has a bit of a drawn out guitar solo, but it's got awesome lyrics and the final minute is mind-blowing. This is one of my favorite songs by them, definitely. 13/10

Overall an awesome cd, every couple of weeks it goes back into cd player in my car because it's just THAT good. Definitely a cd to give a listen to. Pick up the new one, while you're at it!
