Very anti-society? Oh come on! Society is screwed and My Chemical Romance are one of the few bands that get that. Because of how society is screwed, people find life incredibly hard and this album has helped me get through some tough times. This is one of the best albums I have heard, period. It doesn't romanticise death, it provides messages of support to fans who are facing challenges in their lives weather it be depression, or bullying. They are the best.

Seventeen and up? What the heck? The dropped the f-bomb twice, and once it can't hardly be heard. I've been listening to them since I was like, eight, and other than having issues with depresssion, (from childhood deaths, not My Chem lyrics,) I'm perfectly fine. 'The Jetset Life Is Gonna Kill You,' does contain lyrics about killing oneself, but in the birdge he says, 'Pull the plug, but I'd like to learn your name. Holding on, I hope you do the same.' It's basically saying that they want that person to change their mind. And on the song 'Cemetery Drive,' in the second verse, it's incredibly hard to hear unless you have your headphones half in, but you hear him say, 'Don't do it,' a total of sixteen times, and they're saying that this album glamorizes suicide? It's about a guy trying to get his lover back. And the first song is about their grandma. I mean, come on! The second one is about teen pregnancy, third is a song about a short story called 'A Rose for Emily,' the fourth is about being in prison, the fifth is about being in high school, the sixth is about losing someone, the seventh, 'The Jetset Life is Gonna Kill You,' I already explained, the eighth is an interlude, the ninth is about feeling empathy, the tenth is a tribute to a Clint Eastwood movie, the eleventh is about revenge, yes, but also rising from your own ashes and standing up for yourself, the twelfth was also explained, and the thirteenth is about getting his love back and what he did to do so. Again, I mus say, seventeen and up?

I love mcr

its an amazing album, definitly worth buying, as long as there are no young children around. It has references to depression, suicide, and is slightly disturbing when the lyrics are looked over and de-"metaphorized". The lead singer and frontman started the band BECAUSE he had witnessed 9-11, and this may explain the messed up lyrics. Uses f--k sparsely, and s--t once, but is great music compared to J----- B-----.

this album is fine not death obsessed kids hear cursing all the time at school. MCR saves peoples lives. i bet tony hicks never even listened to this and if he did and thought it was like he said he must only listen to classical jazz because this is fine. MCR helps people get through hard times and are funny loving guys. don't hate on them hate on tony hicks and his bad taste of music

A lot of references to death and suicide and it obvious that the band is emo/goth. A few uses of F--k but in some songs it's in the background and it's hard to hear. I listen to it all the time and I'm thirteen.

Listen when I was 13 I became suicidal and started cutting myself due to my best friends suicide.When I discovered My Chemical Romance I realized I was not alone and that there IS hope.To be honest,yes maybe a little violent and profane but it is like therapy that actually works.Because of MCR I stopped popping Paxils,cutting,blaming myself,and drinking.Now i'm a National Junior Honor Society member who got into UCLA Berkley and Yale early acceptance(Misdid age-Forgive my grammar)It's helped me and made me realize i'm not alone.To be honest GREAT band and would you really rather they listen to Slipknot?!Oh and this album?About his Grandmother's death!So relax a bit and buy the CD!This CD tells a story,and a epic one at that!

As lexijolie pointed out, songs about suicide and death and pain can be life-saving to depressed teenagers. I was severely depressed and suicidal for two months but I never cut my self or tried to kill myself because the music I listened to made me feel as though I was not alone. Which I'm not. Making something romantic doesn't mean that people are going to do it. Just the way there aren't a bunch of tween girls asking their boyfriends to put on vampire teeth and suck their blood, as far as i'm aware. Same thing goes for this.

This album is perfect for teenagers! Some teens depended on this album to get them through their young years. Though the messages can seem outwardly negative, the perspective of a teenager can vary greatly from that of an older parent. This album may just be what your teen needs.
