History YMMV / TheBlackParade

* HarsherInHindsight: "Dead!" is a hilarious and upbeat song with many a clever [[BrutalHonesty insult]] to someone soon to be dead... you remember that the album is about =a terminally ill cancer patient.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The ''entire album'' is arguably this. It is definitely one of the most iconic albums of the last few decade, and one can tell MCR put a lot of thought and heart into it.

* EvilIsSexy: Belial is quite a looker in both his human forms. Mulciber as well.

* ToughActToFollow: ''The Black Parade'' was such a big success for the band, that the later album ''Danger Days'' was a bit of an uphill battle for the band to top. While ''Danger Days'' is still beloved by fans, critics didn't see it in par with the band's other works. Not to mention ''The Black Parade'' was the final album to feature the band having a concrete drummer, as they would struggle with finding a suitable drummer before their eventual break up.

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: [[https://youtu.be/CfUgBbuSTPQ YouTuber Wendigoon proposed the idea]] that, while the basics of the standard theory are true, Death is also a character that expresses themself through the songs, with the tracks going back and forth between them and the dying cancer patient in non-chronological order.

* FridgeBrilliance: Belial’s nickname for Jordan “my pet” isn’t just something he calls her to annoy her. In his mind, he doesn’t consider her to be his equal and so she is rather like a pet of some sort.

* HarsherInHindsight: "Dead!" is a hilarious and upbeat song with many a clever [[BrutalHonesty insult]] to someone soon to be dead... you remember that the album is about [[UnacceptableTargets a terminally ill cancer patient.]]

* EpicRiff: The piano riff that opens "Welcome to the Black Parade." Actually, you don't even need the full riff -- the first ''note'' will suffice in getting the attention of any MCR fan. Or anyone who remembers when the song came out.

* ParanoiaFuel: Before Jordan learns to sense demonic energy, she has to deal with the fact that anyone around her could be a demon. Anyone.

** Trans people deliberately misinterpreting the "I should have been a better son!" part of "Mama" to be a trans allegory, especially once Gerard opened up about having some level gender nonconformity, and started showing up to shows in cheerleader outfits.

** Another interpretation of Disenchanted and Famous Last Words together is that the patient awakens having faced down some of their demons and embraced an attitude of LikeYouWereDying and DoNotGoGentle.

** Another interpretation of Disenchanted and Famous Last Words together is that the patient does not die, but awakens having faced down some of their demons and embraced an attitude of LiveLikeYouWereDying and DoNotGoGentle.

* FoeYay: Jordan and Belial’s relationship is overflowing with this. Belial also lampshades the potential for this between himself and Michael.
