October 24, 2004 –
Reprise Records released the third studio album from My Chemical Romance, The Black Parade, on this date.
The concept of the album is “The Patient“, who dies of cancer at an early age. According to lead singer Gerald Way, death comes in the form of your most powerful memory, and for “The Patient” that memory is a parade he went to with his father, which explains the album title. Throughout the album, you can kind of see into the mind of someone in a lot of pain. The previous My Chemical Romance album, Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge, dealt with demons, and this seems to be a continuing trend, but in a more mature way.
