4	''I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love'' is the debut album by Music/MyChemicalRomance, released on July 23, 2002. This album has a raw, PostHardcore-based sound that makes this album their most aggressive one, musically, while also making it the closest thing to a true [[EmoMusic emotive hardcore]] album the band has done. Rhythm guitarist Frank Iero joined the band late in the recording sessions, and only appears on two songs as a result.

33	!!Can you trope me before the sun goes down?:
34	* AlbumClosure: "Demolition Lovers" is the [[LongestSongGoesLast longest]] and most climactic song.
35	* AlbumIntroTrack: "Romance", a short classical guitar piece of an unknown authorship.
36	* CarefulWithThatAxe: Gerard screams in short bursts throughout the album.
37	* ClusterFBomb: "Our Lady of Sorrows"
38	--> "Stand up fucking tall, don't let them see your back\
39	And take my fucking hand and never be afraid again"
40	* ConceptAlbum: A loose one about a Bonnie and Clyde-esque couple that is eventually shot down in the desert. The theme would be expanded on in their next album.
41	* DyingAlone: "Cubicles" is about coming to terms with the idea of dying alone.
42	* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: This album is rawer and less theatrical than even ''Music/ThreeCheersForSweetRevenge'', which still sticks mostly their post-hardcore roots. It also has prominent {{screamo\|Music}} influences that are mostly absent in subsequent releases.
43	* EmoMusic: This album is probably the closest thing to straight-up emo that MCR has done, despite the mainstream recognition of the [[Music/ThreeCheersForSweetRevenge following]] two [[Music/TheBlackParade albums]] making them the notorious faces of "emo" to the general public, with this album abiding the most by the initial definition of "emo" (a more emotional variant of PostHardcore and HardcorePunk).
44	* EpicInstrumentalOpener:
45	** [[AlbumIntroTrack "Romance"]] is an instrumental.
46	** "Headfirst for Halos" has a mostly-instrumental first minute, save for a brief scream.
47	* EpicRocking: "Demolition Lovers" (6:06).
48	* HolyBurnsEvil: Implied in "Vampires Will Never Hurt You", in which the protagonist wants to be staked to death to avoid being turned into a vampire.
49	--> "Someone get me to a doctor, someone get me to a church."
50	* LongestSongGoesLast: "Demolition Lovers", which is also one of the only EpicRocking songs MCR has done.
51	* LyricalDissonance: "Headfirst for Halos" is oddly upbeat for a song that describes a gory suicide.
52	* {{Mesodiplosis}}: Two segments in "Honey, This Mirror Isn't Big Enough For The Two Of Us"
53	** I'm:
54	---> "The amount of pills I'm taking\
55	Counteracts the booze I'm drinking\
56	And this vanity I'm breaking
57	** "the" into "I'm":
58	---> Well, I'll choose the life I've taken\
59	Never mind the friends I'm making\
60	And the beauty that I'm faking"
61	* NonAppearingTitle: None of the song titles are mentioned in the songs.
62	* RealLifeWritesThePlot: "Skylines and Turnstiles" is about the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon. Frontman Gerard Way's witnessing of the attacks were what motivated him to form MCR.
63	* RRatedOpening: The first lyrics of the album:
64	--> "The amount of pills I'm taking counteracts the booze I'm drinking."
65	* RecordProducer: Geoff Rickly of Music/{{Thursday}} produced the album.
66	* SameContentDifferentRating: The 2015 Creator/RepriseRecords vinyl reissue has a Parental Advisory warning that was not given to the original album, which was released by independent label Eyeball Records.
67	* SongStyleShift: "Demolition Lovers" starts out as a slow and quiet ballad that builds into faster and louder part, stops for a soft section, and then returns to the faster and more punky part in the finale.
68	* WholePlotReference: "Early Sunsets Over Monroeville" is this to ''Film/DawnOfTheDead1978''.
69	* WoodenStake: The protagonist of "Vampires Will Never Hurt You" wants to be killed this way.
70	----
71	---> I mean this forever!
