Def look up the story behind the album! The concept of the album ties it all together in a cohesive narrative. And some fun trivia: The guitar solo in Dead was inspired by the Woody Woodpecker laugh The beginning of Mama was partially done by Ray as a dare that he couldn’t write a polka The intro to sleep is Gerard describing the night terrors he experienced when staying at the Paramour Mansion where they did album pre production Mikey pushed for Disenchanted to be on the album bc it was his favorite, he’d randomly whisper the name of the song to the others Teenagers was inspired by Gerard being genuinely freaked out by teenagers on the subway when he was commuting

There's actually a lot of little things that are incredible about this album. To start, they lived in the Paramount Mansion during the recording of this album, which is said to be deeply haunted. During that time, they went to a dark place and it seemed to have the biggest impact on Gerard (Vocals) - he suffered from sleep terrors, during which he felt being suffocated, he saw people close to him dying and a plethora of other things, which inspired the song Sleep and the recording of him describing his nightmares was sampled in. Originally, they didn't feel like Teenagers should be on the album, but a school shooting occured and made them feel like it had to be on the record. In Mama, the woman's voice is actually Liza Minnelli. Famous Last Words was a sort of letter from Gerard to Mikey, as Mikey's addiction and mental state caused him to want to quit the band after being done with TBP, and Famous Last Words has these themes of going forward, moving on, continuing even through pain. And as a cherry on top, other bandmates didn't feel like Disenchanted should be on the album, but it was Mikey's (bassist's) favorite, so he often woke them up at night whispering about the song and in the end they put it, and it's one of my favorites so I guess I have Mikey to thank for that, lol. Oh! And Blood was originally only played after like 15 minutes of silence, so when it came out most didn't hear it unless they let the CD run after Famous Last Words ends.

watching you air drum to the Black Parade is really fun to watch because you're really immersed in the music. nice reaction/review!

Great video. Your breakdown and comments on all tbe tracks were excellent to hear. One of the more popular theories on the album is that the songs are split between the young cancer patient and the spirit who is supposed to guide him to the afterlife, but tries to get him to stick around. The spirits songs are Dead!, House of Wolves, How I Disappear, Mama, and Famous Last Words.

Never been more excited in my life 😭 i love seeing people react to this album so much. And especially by someone that can appreciate the music like you!

Nice work. I also discovered their music recently, and got to see them live in October. Holy crap, what an incredible live show! Do I need to ask you to do Danger Days next?

Wow. I enjoy listening to Dead, and playing in in hacked GH2 is always fun, but this is the first time I have heard the song described as "bright".

You 1000% need to look into the album's concept, there's a lot of theories if you want to delve deeper but when you connect the overall theme to the songs it's insane

Disenchanted will always be my favorite off of this album

love seeing you do this album. it’s been a favorite of mine since it came out, and it pretty much transcends musical genre tastes. everyone i know, no matter what they’re into, loves this album. hell, even gary holt from exodus and slayer called it “a masterpiece” so i refuse to hear any slander from anyone about it 💜

I feel like the "intro" transition to "the end" is a nice little thing you missed by stopping and starting.

Great reaction bud, glad you were able to reupload and hope it gets the attention it deserves :) looking forward to what you do next My rec is Pinkerton by Weezer for a rewarding 10/10 record to react to

This is only my opinion... But I think you may have missed the point of the hidden track "Blood". It took me a while to catch on. If you take the entire album into consideration... It's about a patient dying of cancer. "Blood' is basically him talking about his struggles in the hospital...They are constantly taking blood samples... He compares the staff to vampires... "Give them all that they can drink and it will never be enough". He feels as though they enjoy Torturing him..."A celebrated man among the gurneys."... "I'm the kind of human wreckage that you love" But in the end it will all be for nothing.. he is dying and he knows it.

Hi my friend fantastic reaction a young gentleman taking RU-vid by storm is ren -hi ren this video has had 3 million views in 2 weeks and it is pure genius worth a look and at the end has a great message many thanks love and respect from the UK 👍👍👍👍👍🌟😀😀 amazing channel 👍

I had a pair of strokes early 2005, mid 2006. Famous Last Words saved me when I was starting to give up. Am doing fine now. PS: If you listen to Jellyfish "Spilt Milk" [1993 post-psychedelic power/melodic pop, but just sooo many flavors] followed by TBP, it will be a fantastic experience. Though in SM, the lead character has already died and joined a parade (seriously). I am not afraid to keep on living!

Absolutely love watching these, you've picked some great albums. Although not super popular and you're likely gonna choose things that will help with bulk views and growing the channel, I'd love to see you react to Knife Man by AJJ/Andrew Jackson Jihad - just a great folk punk album with heaps of incredible lyrics.

where does your band play? would love to catch it one day

bro the new lil yatchy album is so crazy … it’s like so good u have to check it out you would love it

7:39 bob bryar had to re-record this song so many times that during the 4 count hi-hat he was audibly screaming "fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck" poor guy had to do all these songs in 1 take 😭

You should listen to I Brought You my Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love

Are you still going to be reacting to their Revenge album?

You should react to American Idiot by Green Day if you've not heard it before. It is a sort of rock opera like this with a sort of pop-punk/emo sound but it is a bit different from this album too

I’m a super old emo, old enough to have seen Pink Floyd live…The End emulates Pink Floyd The Wall.

You should react to Michael Jackson's albums: Dangerous and HIStory

so, what is the album actually about? hell if i know, i aint that smart, but you know who is that smart, Sir Wendigoon the 1st, and according to him theres two stories being told, the one bout the patient and the one about the parader, wich acts as a sort of ferryman of the underworld
