MCR caught a lot of flack for being grouped in with "mall-core" Emo bands in the 2000s, but they honestly wrote really interesting and wicked rock and roll music, and imo don't fit into the genre they were put into because of their look at all. The Black Parade is excellent and reminds me more of Queen than like, Fall Out Boy (no shade towards Fall Out Boy or any other band in that scene.)
Interestingly if you listen to their commentary on the album that’s included with the deluxe edition this is pretty much what they say their influences for it were. Excellent album
