The White Parade 

brad is the type of dude that says mimimi when he snores

BRUH IF I WOULDN'T HAVE SENT IN BROTHER ON THAT PAID REACTION STREAM... 😭😭😭😭

Gerard really wanted to make an album of music he never thought would fit for mcr. This includes lyrics, borderline nonsensical, because MCR was meant to be all story, while his solo album was much more laid back. Letting the meaning be found by the listener, if any. Kind of like foo fighters debut. First and foremost the album wants you to dance and have a good time.

brad you’re so compassionate with chat and i really appreciate how considerate you are

as a die hard my chemical romance fan and gerard way fan i can only stand like half the songs on hesitant alien but brother is one of my favourite songs to ever exist period

While hesitant alien never did anything for me, i heavily fuck with Pinkish/Don't try. Sweet songs.

While I was a little unsure at first I saw him live on this tour and appreciated it a lot more afterwards

brother is not only one of my favorite songs, but it is very important to know the context when listening to it. gerard’s younger brother mikey attempted suicide in 2013, and gerard wrote the song for him to remind him that they still loved him and supported him through everything (mikey overdosed on opioids and gerard struggled with addictions in 2004 and relapsed in 2013 as well, having to go to rehab around the same time as mikey) the opening of brother has a phone call between an operator and gerard, where he says “where is he? where is my baby brother?” and the operator responds with “he killed himself.” gerard has another song about mikey called piano jam which he has only live performances of, but it is absolutely hauntingly beautiful.

On this episode of Brad disliking my favorite albums

As a huge fan of noisy music, I don't really think Brad is being elitist. Maybe it's not a 3/10, but there's definitely better artists doing what Gerard is trying to do. The production is undeniably messy, but Gerard can write a really decent hook and I think that elevates it at least a little bit to me.

I get that critics aren't above criticism but labels like "elitist" shouldn't be taken very seriously. It just sounds like yet another dishonest cope method that people do to try to silence opinions they don't like.

Nah bro you were right about Jeremy. I’m not the fan who will just kiss ass, but chat was gaslighting you into thinking your elitist for disliking something they like. brad you can come across as an asshole to people you get annoyed by in chat and it turns me off from the stream sometimes, but I don’t think you were in the wrong. Maybe just always be cautious of your tone on stream or something. I was sitting here whole stream like “what is chat on about?”

So glad I found you your reactions have been making my day

If want to continue the MCR saga you have to start going into some of Frank Iero's solo projects. Personally, Parachutes is my favorite of the 3 albums so far.

i fucking love this album tbh, each song feels like an emotion. i don’t think it’s a boundary pushing album by any means, but it’s very special to me

hesitant alien is nostalgic for me for personal reasons but brother specifically hits home real hard. the visuals i get from it are incredible and it might be because i can understand the message and the Vibe on a personal level. this album was his therapy project, not meant to be Good in the critical sense but good for him to make. when i look at it from that angle and imagine the personal experience it's narrating, i can feel a lot more of the depth than if i just listen for things like quality, "lyrical genius", complexity or mastering or whatever. i don't always care about those aspects. but that's just me, music reviews will never be objective and i still watch you cause you're funny as hell even if i disagree. it was still cool to see you take a peek at an album i'm not used to people knowing exists :)

Epic muted content

imo i prefer a lot, if not all, or frank ieros side projects that happened after mcr over hesitant alien. death spells, the cellabration, the future violents, etc are all amazing.

thank you for that loud warning, very appreciated

Gerard dyed his hair red and then he comes up with Danger Days and whatever this album is. Something about the red hair makes him channel the sounds of JCPenny

Brother is the best track imo

Hesitant Alien is perfect in my opinion

This feels like a return to the old days. Brad reacting to MCR related stuff, not liking it at all, good shit.

"That's incredible, that's a good album!" *red headphones appear*

this dude looks like he would call me a slur lmfao

I hope you know that now people aren't going to leave you alone until you react Frank Iero's stuff too

Brad's the type of dude to go weeeeeeeee on roller coasters

Honestly, Brad is more of a commentator than a critic. He reviews music based on emotions and his score results entirely depends if a song fits his current mood.

i agree brad youre fuckin awesome brad keep spitting fax brad brad taste da GOAT

Action Cat is a damn masterpiece i really love this song

I felt the exact same way hearing this album after I had my MCR phase. I was SUPER disappointed. BUT this album grew on me as time passed, especially when I learnt about the backstory on ‘Brother’. It made me reconsider the album.

i love this album so much so i was obviously butthurt to hear that brad had like almost zero appreciation towards it but i get it now tbh. its not an album of quality but its like a vibe. its the kind of album you dont pay attention to other than the sound, which i personally thought was very interesting but mostly repetitive. and tbh it was made 8 years ago so some of this stuff was still VERY new and exciting at that point where now its just like... k. and yes the lyrics are absolutely inaudible which, although it does add to the 'pleasant background music' vibe, does not help in terms of quality or understanding meaning. i just think brad mightve been feeling particularly understimulated regardless of what music hed listen to. like one of those days where you cant be satisfied by any music. it is repetitive but not to the point of skipping through the song and hating all of it, yknow? Edit: i will add that the actual meanings (however impossible they are to understand admittedly) are f*cking beautiful so thats an important aspect that probably couldve been more looked into when analyzing this for quality.

React to Electric ladyland by the Jimi Hendrix experience. It is one of the most mystical and raw albums every made, and for context, the album was released in 1968!!

MCR is a very hit or miss for Brad

Juarez and No Shows are goated, the rest mainly works bc of nostalgia for me.

If he can't understand some of the lyrics here wait until he hears a Frank Iero album 😂

10/10 best intro to a muted stream

as a member of your old audience HELL YEAHHHHHHH

Dude Frank Ieros solo stuff is much better especially Parachutes! Listen to that I would love to see you react to it.

I know I'm late but the cat screech transition always gets me 💀

WE WANT TELEVISION BODIES THAT WE CANT KEEEEP

At least i ALMOST CRIED LAUGHING AISSJSIS LOVE U

ive always been a big mcr fan but im glad im not the only one that finds hesitant alien really boring. i really dont get why it sucks so much like bruh.. drugstore perfume is my favorite off it though

Swans first ep before filth is one of my favs of all time and I'm kinda glad they didn't go in that direction bc it feels like a little perfect gem. It's so dark. Good no wave shoutout w filth tho

ok, the mixing and sound of this album was actually pushed back by the producer and people working on the album which is rly funny knowing after hearing you first react to the bureau. gerard knew it sounded like shit and enjoyed the noise for whatever reason, still sounds very messy but it has charm at the same time to me (i am a biased mcr fan sorry)

Brad dont ever change, its been great following you and your derserved rise:)! Keep it up dude:)!

omg rereact to danger days too so we can have a complete series 😩

i like this album in a way that i can get close to the music i love to listen to when trying to focus and do homework but if i listen to more amped up music then i get distracted and focussing tooo much on the song and the lyrics and instruments and everything so its just more fun study music that isnt too boring for me

I rlly loved around half of hesitant alien, the other halfs strange and too messy for me

I love this album

I love this album!!!

i really hope we get the reaction that viper album, that sounds hilarious

the funny thing about zero zero is it was originally a soundcloud drop that was mixed way less and i liked a lot better haha. may be why its better than some of the others

im reposting my comment on the vod: a little while ago, during an Isaac stream, I sent in a song by the Associates, and even though i don’t think brad really felt it during stream, i think their lyrics are a good example of oblique but very good lyrics. I’ve seen Billy Mackenzie accused of writing word salad, and in a certain way thats true, but i feel like this Gerard Way album is ACTUALLY chop-shop-word-salad. Like words are just missing! Or scrambled randomly. I feel like the Associates’ lyrics were always internally coherent. And i think there’s a meaningful distinction between lyrics like theirs and the poetry we see on display here.

This man really just gave No Shows a red headphones…

an example of great noise pop is forever in your heart by black dresses

Dude the bureau is a banger opening.

Brad i love you so much but i need to go cry now

never heard any of these before this video but action cat and no shows go hard

The title is correct

The ghost of currently not dead musician Gerald Way really wanted this stream to die

i love this album

i'd be very interested to see what you think of Soul Punk, Patrick Stump's (Fall Out Boy Vocalist) solo album

Hey Brad, have you thought of continuing the early 2000s nu metal album reviews? If so, you should do Slipknot’s Self-titled album(1999) And also, have you listened to “The End, So Far” yet?

I agreed with bradley when he said " , !"

This is a certified white parade moment

idc zero zero and drugstore perfume are fucking great

the chaos stream

I like this album, it's far from perfect or groundbreaking imo but I have a lot of nostalgia toward it and still listen to a few tracks here and there. pretty good reaction and review Brad

omg i wanna see you listen to any of frank ieros side projects 😳 Leathermøuth would be funny

If this was movies we're talking about, this album would be a wes Anderson film, and you'd be a Micheal Bay fan.

Im just happy he liked juarez

as a fan of the album im pretty sure the only reason i amis because i added it as custom music to my sims 3 games; cause i didnt care that much for it at the time, but didnt wanna listen to the sims radio . by GOD does this album fit amazingly into the sims world though. S tier background nonsense.

Gerard is a genius, but he needs the MCR band behind him to make perfection

only real ones know the original name

Epic

I thought you were going to be listening to the Korn song. I'm both disappointed and relieved.

21:35 idk man, I really enjoyed high visceral pts 1 and 2, maybe do a vid on them? I'm curious on your thoughts

waiting for brad to react to frank iero solo project 💀💀💀

Maya the Psychic?? Is that an Ace Attorney reference or am i reading too much into things.

I never get notifications for your livestreams 😭

the mod telling you to stop streaming if you're bored like 😂 what do you think this is

Brad u should check out Loved by KEN Mode its super noisy hardcore, reminds me allot of early swans!

The Bureau gave me MAJOR Station To Station vibes 😳

I tried listening to this album a few year ago. I remember disliking it, but who knows. Maybe I'll return to it someday

Mr. Bradly taste in music, i would enjoy it a lot if you were to listen to Dayglow, specifically their debut album, Fuzzybrain. i think it would be pretty cool to see how you think of Dayglow 👍

brad, could you take a listen on "The Horror and The Wild" by The Amazing Devil?? Love your reviews!!

Man, you skipped over the 2 best songs! How It's Going To Be and Maya the Psychic (along with Action Cat) are the strongest tracks. But I do agree with you that most of us only listen because it's Gerard. All of the mixing/extra noise/hiding his voice bugs me as well. I hope you can check out one of Frank's bands (from MCR). I really like Stomachaches from frnkiero andthe cellabration. You can add this to your MCR infinity gauntlet!

hi there, how are you doing! If you are planning on sticking to the 90s albums that you have been reviewing, then I highly recommend you checkout Calculating Infinity by the Dillinger Escape Plan. Simply put, its one of the most animalistic and brutal metal albums of the 90s. its highly technical and it fits into the genre of mathcore, but the performances and production is so laser focused on beating the shit out of you that it never comes across as a wank-fest like some of their brethren. anyway, loving the content, and seeing you almost hit 200k is insane! you've totally earned this fat W. anyways, see you next stream

25:52 ey that's me. First time I have seen my chat in a video lol

An album that does this noisy sound better is ministry animositisomina it channels that loud sound into actual song writing and uses it to increase the aggression without flooding over the mix

Hope one day you get to review Them Crooked Vultures.

This..was unexpected-

You should listen to From Indian Lakes

I have no clue who this Brad guy is or what he does. But I agree with him.

I just wanna know what you said about my Music apparently someone came from your stream to check out my music

No sound :(

dude if you reacted to someone out there loves you by my chemical romance i’d be so happy

Xiu xiu is just amazing ❤️❤️

I hope Brad is joking about not being a MCR fan because I could've sworn he actually liked Three Cheers for the most part. Especially after the last track, it clicked, and he said "Oh my god, I get it now". He regards Black Parade as the masterpiece, and he hated Bullets & Danger Days (fair enough). Conventional Weapons wasn't well received either due to the mixing. But I'd say 2 out of 4 studio albums ain't bad. He could likely go to a MCR concert and enjoy it
