Two Bands

Today I'm going to discuss two of my favorite bands. Panic! At The Disco and My Chemical Romance.

Panic! At The Disco is fun to listen to, being very active in the rhythms and granting an almost irresistible urge to jump up and snap your fingers. My personal favorite songs by them are "London Beckoned Songs About Money Written By Machines", "There's A Good Reason These Tables Are Numbered Honey, You Just Haven't Thought Of It Yet", and "I Constantly Thank God For Esteban". Of special note is the band's use of archaic instruments in the later tracks of their album. I personally felt the atmosphere of an old saloon when listening to the song "There's A Good Reason...", and it was one of the first songs I've encountered recently that made me feel happier instead of proving another reminder of the sorrows life delivers regularly.

My Chemical Romance's latest album, "The Black Parade" is an uplifting collection of songs that fills the listener with emotions of rebellion and righteous anger which the youth of today is so terribly fond of. "Welcome To The Black Parade" has received some radio play, and I find it a softer and more comforting tune than most of the band's previous work on earlier albums. The band has a tendency to scream and play their instruments in a manner that can be rough on the ears. Personally, I think "The Black Parade" shows a bit a maturity in it's sound, relying more on the merits of the music and it's message, and less on the presence of the artists. My recommended songs for this album are "This Is How I Disappear", "The Sharpest Lives", "Welcome To The Black Parade", and "Famous Last Words".

In a musical mood,
