Free Music Notes for The Black Parade Is Dead
Free Music Review: Kinda flat.
Hit: 3 Stars
Not a huge fan, but I have all of MCR's major releases, and was looking forward to a live DVD. Unfortunately, for the main event (the Mexico City concert), it's a disappointment. Gerald's voice is very weak, especially early, and as the better songs (imho) are all on the first half of the set, it gives a very flat feel. The band is fine, and the concert was clearly high-budget, but the vocals you get on the studio album seem to come through in small bits and then it's whisper-like, almost talking as much as singing. Too bad.
The other DVD track with the off-message show that was just a band was a lot less theatrical and less interesting to watch, but much more appealing to listen to. Somewhere in the middle could be a great show (or, I guess a terrible one); it's a shame that they didn't pick a better performance to film for the main event.
Free Music Review: Disappointing.
Hit: 3 Stars
Unfortunately this is a groaning disappointment. Fairly poor execution instrumentally and Gerard can barely keep his breath let alone emulate the recorded versions of the songs. Formulaic set lists and uninspired arrangements contribute to what is frankly, an average affair.
An overly produced record often results in a disappointing live show, not always, but this time is just does.
I'm a MCR fan, no doubt, but I have to be honest, this is mediocre at best. Why? I turned it off after three songs and thought 'I can come back to this later'.
