The Black Parade is the third studio album by the rock quintet My Chemical Romance, released in October 2006. It is a concept album, and a rock opera centering on a character known as "The Patient", who dies during the course of the CD. The album presents the story of his passage out of life, and his subsequent reflection on his life.
The album was produced by Rob Cavallo, who has also produced albums for Green Day. The Black Parade is also the first album for which Bob Bryar played drums, as Matt Pelissier played drums for Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge. Though several reviewers have dismissed the album as a display of showmanship, The Black Parade has, overall, been a critical success, the limited edition boxed set earning My Chemical Romance a Grammy nomination.
The album spawned "Welcome to the Black Parade", "Famous Last Words", "I Don't Love You", and "Teenagers" as its first four singles. The group then plans to release two more singles from the album, though has yet to announce which songs have been selected.
My Chemical Romance has embarked on a global tour promoting The Black Parade, consisting of two separate North American trips and a European leg. It now is available in both CD and vinyl.
