This band had a total of 4 eras (one for each album):

Bullets era:
This era was called "bullets" as a short version of the album's name (I brought you my bullets you brought me your love).
This album gave My Chemical Romance an underground following. However, the band did not break into the mainstream
with the album; that came with their second album, Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge. During the recording of I Brought You
My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love, lead vocalist Gerard Way had to perform vocals while having a dental abscess,
making vocal work difficult for him.
Categorized into genres such as emo, post-hardcore, screamo, punk rock, gothic rock, punk, and garage punk, this album has a raw sound featuring guitar riffs, very energetic vocals and occasional screaming. Despite being sold under the post-hardcore and alternative rock genres, it is considered an emo album with strong influences from punk rock, hardcore punk and heavy metal. Songs on bullets such as "Skylines and Turnstiles" and "Our Lady of Sorrows" have been described as hardcore punk songs.

The album opener "Helena" has been referred to as an "album highlight and smash hit". Gerard has claimed that the song "shaped what the album is about" and "revealed their darkside" in comparison to the first single.

Black parade era:


This era was called Black Parade as a short version of the album's name (The Black Parade). This era was called "Black Parade" as a short version of the album's name (The black parade). The Black Parade is the third studio album by American rock band My Chemical Romance. Released in Europe on October 20, 2006, through Reprise Records, it was produced by Rob Cavallo, known for having produced multiple albums for the Goo Goo Dolls and Green Day. It is a rock opera centering on a dying character with cancer known as "The Patient". The album tells the story of his apparent death, experiences in the afterlife, and subsequent reflections on his life. It is the band's only studio album to feature drummer Bob Bryar before his departure in 2010. The album also saw the creation of the alter-ego band, The Black Parade. My Chemical Romance performed the album live in costume as the Black Parade until their October 7, 2007, Mexico City performance.[5][6] On stage, the band donned black marching uniforms similar to those worn by The Beatles for the album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967). The live performance was theatrical, with Way assuming the character of a member of The Black Parade.
