They did "We Will Rock You" and "Welcome To The Black Parade."

Oh by the way.

I used to like MCR a lot way back in the day... maybe some 10 years ago before they became huge (great, now I sound like a hipster). Their first record was good and I enjoyed the second one as well even if it was less raw and slightly more polished.

Then The Black Parade happened. I liked it on the first listen but then I stopped. It didn't make that much of an impression on me. Yeah, musically it was alright and I liked the nods to Queen but that was it. The concept behind the album and the sound itself just felt rather try-hard and generic to me.

I wasn't expecting much from Danger Days and just casually listened to it. It seemed like crap on the first few listens but it grew on me, kind of the reverse of The Black Parade. Some songs are pretty good.
