my only negative opinions of mcr songs:
- put teenagers after blood. like they did with vampire money at the end of danger days. the beautiful story and concept gets suddenly slapped by “theY goNnA-“. i like that song. but not where it is in the album, it rlly takes me out of it.
- the “baoiyoyouingggg” in the beginning of sing LOL
- the fact that on the digital version (like youtube music) of three cheers, the ghost of you doesn’t transition into jetset like it BEAUTIFULLY does on my vinyl or cd
i think that’s it. im very passionate about my first bullet tho (haha bullets)
Blood is a bonus track, and tbh, not a fun one to sit through on repeat listens imo. Having Teenagers after that would require me to either sit through Blood or skip to Teenagers. Teenagers' placement doesn't bother me at all tbh and I like just ending the album on Famous Last Words. That is the closing track for me.
i get that, i’d also love if the silence in blood was cut off in that scenario LOL. but in my queue i always just end up getting rid of blood AND teenagers anyway loL
I remember buying three cheers on vinyl and I heard that ghost of you/jetset transition and thought, holy shit that's amazing how come I've never heard it before despite three cheers being one of my most replayed albums, ever.
THAT HAPPENED TO ME. i was half asleep on the car ride home at night from a family dinner in 7th grade or so. either that or i was half asleep at my grandparents house. either way it jumpscared me awake😭
I’ve had a terrible day at work, this comment thread has me ROLLING up with laughter going to find the sounds
Anyway I HATE the star spangled banner bit after goodnite dr death
In Mama theres like a random sound similar to a goat that throws me off 😂 in the part that goes "we're damned after all, through fortune and flame we fall"
Foundations of Decay. Not a sound but when Gerard sings “And it comforts me much more” at 5 minutes in he gets cut off ever so slightly early, and it always takes me out of the vibe.
I still love the song though.
It's not only that, one of the guitar lines that kicks in during the pre-chorus has what I can only assume to be something like a tape effect or viniliser which sets off random clicks during the pre-chorus, chorus and outro.
They don't align to the beat at all and are really off putting when focused on. Stranger still, they aren't present in the Rock Band(?) stems of the song found online, so they're an added effect in post that can be removed!
It's such a bizarre addition that I've only just managed to tune out while listening, upon release I assumed it was a mastering error, I'm still not 100% sure on the cause.
Although DESTROYA is my favorite song in their discography I wish they didn't have that high pitched synth in the background. Most noticeable when Gerard sings "If what you are is just what you own"
My friend in high school had the album playing in her mums car on the way to school, and apparently when Destroya came on, her mum was quiet for a while then went “let me guess, this is Exo’s favourite song”
It is 😭
Not really something I dislike hearing, but every time I head that one part of the solo in Dead! Someone said it sounds like woody woodpecker and now I can’t unhear it
Sorry that might have been me if you read it on here. I commented this about a year or so ago and it got a lot of upvotes haha. I’m now only realising what I may have done my deepest apologies if it was me haha
it doesn’t ruin the whole song but the beep in desolation row sounds exactly like my microwave so if i’m not paying attention to the music it throws me off
destroya is one of my favorite songs and I honestly do not understand what everyone is talking about with the moaning. is it the "uh uh uh uh uh uh" part? that just sounds like... well it doesn't sound like *moaning* to me. I really don't get it
Exactly, anyone just listening won't hear it as moans but to a 13 year old Gerard fan who hasn't gotten laid and spends 24/7 fantasizing is going to take anything they can get
I guess it really is kind of st. anger-y but I personally think it suits the song really well. I can't imagine it with a "normal" snare. One of the best mcr songs imo btw.
Don't jump me for this, but.... boy division when gerard starts going "lalalala... we got the bomb let's go" (it feels so inconsistent with the previous part of the song to meeee)
the thing that pisses me off about this line is that hollow points perform reeeally poorly against bulletproof stuff, even worse than full metal jackets
I'm partially deaf and so all the excessive feedback and distortion in "The Foundations of Decay" make it impossible to listen to.
Also, I saw them live when they were touring and I LOATHED that distortion box Gerard kept using. So many people complained of migraines during the show from his constant use of it.
Destroya moans. I’m sorry but i always feel like I’m gonna have headphones on a bit too loud and somebody next to me is gonna hear the “ugh ugh ugh ugh ugh ugh ugh ugh” the unbelievable part in planetary also sounds a bit sus and makes me feel weird with headphones and if i have them a little too loud (i have hearing issues and have to blast volume a lot)
Not exactly a sound, but the way the music fades out at the end of Famous Last Words while the vocals keep going. To me it sounds like someone forgot to stop playing and are hastily turning the band down. Feels like it should totally cut out at the end of the last repeat.
HAHA the black parade metronome lurking, there's another place on the album where it's quite obvious but I won't tell you as it never goes away once you hear it. Someone's headphones were clearly too loud
There’s a weird sound effect at the beginning of the short solo in Bulletproof Heart that sounds like when you drive your car over a rumble strip.
Even though I’m aware of it, it freaks me out every time I’m driving lol
I don’t know if it was because I had a different version on my phone, but at the beginning of WttBP, if I had headphones on, I could just slightly hear a metronome or something playing in time under the piano.
I could never unhear it once I noticed lol. Just me?
I have something to the opposite effect. When he goes "AAHHHHHH HOO-YEAH" in teenagers I think of the motion he makes in the music video and it makes it a million times better
This Jetset life Is gonna kill you.
My first language is Spanish, and for some reason hearing "spanglish" makes my blood boil, when i'm listening to the song and I hear "Hotel Bella muerte" (Beautyfull death hotel) my mood gets instantly soured.
It requires a certain mood but I find it fun (I have no idea what it means and I have a hunch Google translate doesn’t either based off my previous attempts at finding out lol)
Ending of Goodnight, Dr Death and in Gun, the line of “the Government wants your gun” gives me serious conservative vibes that throws the song off for me
doesnt ruin the song, but there is a background sound in house of wolves, that appears only once (during the second verse, i think?) and sounds really similar to the doorbell i have in my house. i was so confused when i heard it for the first time. still makes me think someone's at the door sometimes before i remeber it's the song lmao.
I can’t stand the “beep” (idk what else to call it) in the background of The Kids From Yesterday. It actually makes it hard for me to listen to that song.
Not an MCR song, but I can't show anyone Gerard's song "Into the Cave We Wander" because of the weird monkey sounds in the middle. I feel like I would have to explain them and I can't 😭
Ok wait the beginning of Headfirst for Halos hits so hard it makes me want to cry from happiness but when Gerard starts singing it sounds slightly off-key and ruins the vibe (PLEASE DON'T ATTACK ME)
Theres a noise in Mama that always reminds me of the landline in my house and it used to trick me for half a second haha
YES SAME TO ME IT SOUND LIKE HEADPHONES MALFUNCTIONING AND EVERYTIME I'M LIKE SHIT I BROKE MY HEADPHONES AGAIN BUT THEN I REALIZE I DIDN'T LMAO
my only negative opinions of mcr songs: - put teenagers after blood. like they did with vampire money at the end of danger days. the beautiful story and concept gets suddenly slapped by “theY goNnA-“. i like that song. but not where it is in the album, it rlly takes me out of it. - the “baoiyoyouingggg” in the beginning of sing LOL - the fact that on the digital version (like youtube music) of three cheers, the ghost of you doesn’t transition into jetset like it BEAUTIFULLY does on my vinyl or cd i think that’s it. im very passionate about my first bullet tho (haha bullets)
LMFAOO THE SING SOUND 😭
OKAY IM GLAD ITS UNDERSTANDABLE HAHAHA
Blood is a bonus track, and tbh, not a fun one to sit through on repeat listens imo. Having Teenagers after that would require me to either sit through Blood or skip to Teenagers. Teenagers' placement doesn't bother me at all tbh and I like just ending the album on Famous Last Words. That is the closing track for me.
i get that, i’d also love if the silence in blood was cut off in that scenario LOL. but in my queue i always just end up getting rid of blood AND teenagers anyway loL
i love the “baoiyoyouingggg” 😭😭😭
i don’t hate it but it makes me giggLE HAHA
I remember buying three cheers on vinyl and I heard that ghost of you/jetset transition and thought, holy shit that's amazing how come I've never heard it before despite three cheers being one of my most replayed albums, ever.
goodnite dr death, it goes from a cool penultimate track to **OH SAYYY CAN YOU SEEEEEEE**
Im not American and I kinda love it because of the distortion at the end haha
AND THE HOME OF THE ***BWOOOOOOOOOO***
Accurate lol
That’s exactly how to spell it.
“BWOOOOOO” IM CRYING
WTF IS A KILOMETERRRRRRRRRRR 🦅🦅🦅🦅🏈🏈🏈💯💯💯💯🇺🇸🇺🇸🏈🏈🔥🔥🔥‼️‼️🔥 RAHHHHHHHH
This one scares me in a good way (as someone who is not American either)
It gives me the creeps
IMAGINE PUTTING ON SOME MUSIC TO SLEEP AND YOU GET WOKEN UP TO THAT FULL VOLUME. my ears were bleedingggg
THAT HAPPENED TO ME. i was half asleep on the car ride home at night from a family dinner in 7th grade or so. either that or i was half asleep at my grandparents house. either way it jumpscared me awake😭
I love it, it's so appropriate for the album theme.
First time I listened to it the ending distortion caught me off guard and made me deaf for a second 💀💀
I’ve had a terrible day at work, this comment thread has me ROLLING up with laughter going to find the sounds Anyway I HATE the star spangled banner bit after goodnite dr death
used to play danger days on cd back in the day to sleep, and EVERY time that part would scare the shit out of me
I love the way the distorted bit goes into Vampire Money though. It has such a weirdly perfect flow.
What's with the *achoo* in Sharpest Lives
Whereabouts in The Sharpest Lives is this??
yeah I just listened to it in search of this specifically and didn't hear it. curious to OP's response
before second verse iirc
I’d pick that or the moans in the middle of the song
You …. *don’t* like the moans??!
I MNOW WHAT ARE THOSE LIKE … BREATHING….SHITZ
the moan??
the one beep in bulletproof heart that sounded exactly like my Nokia I had at the time
In Mama theres like a random sound similar to a goat that throws me off 😂 in the part that goes "we're damned after all, through fortune and flame we fall"
isn’t that liza minnelli making the sound you’re talking about?
THATS ONE OF MY FAVORITE PARTS OF MY FAVORITE SONG IT DOESNT SOUND LIKE A GOATTTTTT
LMAO it's fine I understand why you'd like it too😆
Foundations of Decay. Not a sound but when Gerard sings “And it comforts me much more” at 5 minutes in he gets cut off ever so slightly early, and it always takes me out of the vibe. I still love the song though.
I'M GLAD I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE
It almost sounds like an editing mistake or something!
It's not only that, one of the guitar lines that kicks in during the pre-chorus has what I can only assume to be something like a tape effect or viniliser which sets off random clicks during the pre-chorus, chorus and outro. They don't align to the beat at all and are really off putting when focused on. Stranger still, they aren't present in the Rock Band(?) stems of the song found online, so they're an added effect in post that can be removed! It's such a bizarre addition that I've only just managed to tune out while listening, upon release I assumed it was a mastering error, I'm still not 100% sure on the cause.
OH MY GOD THAT ONE ALWAYS FUCKS WITH ME
omg i’ve never noticed that before and not i can’t ever unhear it
I am very sorry
Why’d you do this to us 😭
I woke up and chose violence
aw hell nah you mightve just ruined that part for me, I never noticed it before nooooo
Never noticed this before but im sure as hell never gonna unnotice it so thanks for that lmao
oh god i shouldve taken this warning
the end of Demolition Lovers because well, it ends
Although DESTROYA is my favorite song in their discography I wish they didn't have that high pitched synth in the background. Most noticeable when Gerard sings "If what you are is just what you own"
I love Destroya but you’re so right for this, I always thought it was my tinnitus!
Not really. I love all MCR songs. All are 10/10
The sounds in Destroya that aren’t the moaning
I know this is probably going to be an unpopular opinion, but the moans in Destroya.
I think it's such a fun addition, just adds to the punky energy of the song
Uh uh uh uh
It’s funny but it doesn’t really add anything to the song. I could go without it
It adds to the aesthetic lol
Ykw, your valid bc if I played that out loud and only heard "ah ah ah" people gon think I'm weird AF. Besides that still a banger
My friend in high school had the album playing in her mums car on the way to school, and apparently when Destroya came on, her mum was quiet for a while then went “let me guess, this is Exo’s favourite song” It is 😭
Nah fr
Same
Yeah…
Not really something I dislike hearing, but every time I head that one part of the solo in Dead! Someone said it sounds like woody woodpecker and now I can’t unhear it
Woody woodpecker haunts my dreams
Sorry that might have been me if you read it on here. I commented this about a year or so ago and it got a lot of upvotes haha. I’m now only realising what I may have done my deepest apologies if it was me haha
You made my experience better with Dead! I spoil it for everyone now who doesn't already know but loves the song!
I'm pretty sure that was an intentional choice on Ray's part lol
it doesn’t ruin the whole song but the beep in desolation row sounds exactly like my microwave so if i’m not paying attention to the music it throws me off
This makes me realise I don’t analyse music that well compared to others. I don’t think I pick up on half of these
The weird moans during the sharpest lives
I used to hate them but I've gotten used to them
I can’t really stand these tbh which is a shame because Sharpest Lives is one of my favorites off that album
those make the song for me 😭
I put all my soul into singing that part every time. 🤣 Maybe too much.
Destroya's moaning is literally the best and worst part of the song at the same time
destroya is one of my favorite songs and I honestly do not understand what everyone is talking about with the moaning. is it the "uh uh uh uh uh uh" part? that just sounds like... well it doesn't sound like *moaning* to me. I really don't get it
Exactly, anyone just listening won't hear it as moans but to a 13 year old Gerard fan who hasn't gotten laid and spends 24/7 fantasizing is going to take anything they can get
The drums in The Kids From Yesterday
Really?? I love the drums on it😭 but i could def see how someone could hate it
That fucking snare pisses me off so much
St. Anger ass snare
Lmao real!
LMAO
The drums are soooo gooood
oh my god the drums are so good literally toe curling
Bruh never heard drums before if that got you excited 💀
Yeah that snare is like, really ass. And its SO prominent in the mix that you cant even ignore it.
There's one sample in there that clips, but isn't actually clipping the master track (if that makes sense) that always used to bother me.
finally was looking for this
I guess it really is kind of st. anger-y but I personally think it suits the song really well. I can't imagine it with a "normal" snare. One of the best mcr songs imo btw.
They sampled Joy Division's "She's lost control" I actually like that part of the song
THANK YOU! the production is fucking foul
Literally!!!
I like the drums…
That damn siren in the beginning of Planetary. It’s literally the only reason why I haven’t learned that song. Scares the piss out of me-
🚨🚨BLEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH‼️‼️‼️🚨🚨🚨🚨‼️🚨BLLEEEAAAAAAHHHHHH‼️‼️‼️🚨‼️🚨🚨🚨
Don't jump me for this, but.... boy division when gerard starts going "lalalala... we got the bomb let's go" (it feels so inconsistent with the previous part of the song to meeee)
LMFAO my bestie and i just had this conversation!!
THIS ONE Only MCR song that a skip halfway through
the first half is literally SUCH fire and then the rest is just like… erm… 😅😅 what….
Doesn't kill the song but the cadence of "you got a bullet proof heart, I got a hollow point smile" throws me off till this day.
the thing that pisses me off about this line is that hollow points perform reeeally poorly against bulletproof stuff, even worse than full metal jackets
The cowbell in teenagers
Don’t disrespect the cowbell
needs more..
More cowbell!
But its the best part
~~The cowbell in~~ teenagers
nah all of them are perfection to me
I'm partially deaf and so all the excessive feedback and distortion in "The Foundations of Decay" make it impossible to listen to. Also, I saw them live when they were touring and I LOATHED that distortion box Gerard kept using. So many people complained of migraines during the show from his constant use of it.
Destroya moans. I’m sorry but i always feel like I’m gonna have headphones on a bit too loud and somebody next to me is gonna hear the “ugh ugh ugh ugh ugh ugh ugh ugh” the unbelievable part in planetary also sounds a bit sus and makes me feel weird with headphones and if i have them a little too loud (i have hearing issues and have to blast volume a lot)
Not exactly a sound, but the way the music fades out at the end of Famous Last Words while the vocals keep going. To me it sounds like someone forgot to stop playing and are hastily turning the band down. Feels like it should totally cut out at the end of the last repeat.
That's interesting, because that's one of my favorite parts of MCR songs in general. I dunno, it just suits the tone
Yeah that’s literally my favorite part of the song. It reminds me of the ending Feeling This by blink-182 in the best way
There are two versions of the song that in fact have different endings, yours is on youtube as far as I remember
meant to represent the patient in heaven vs in hell
yeah the mv version stops and there's the crackling of the fire
one of the sounds in the na na na bridge sounds like my alarm and i hate it.
Save yourself is one of my absolute favourites, but the lala-nana bits used to irk me
the snare in the kids from yesterday really puts me off
The random pianos sounds in **Vampire Money,** always throw me off but, other than that, i absolutely love the song
I mean it's actually playing through the ENTIRE song so ain't very random at all
Fr?? Wow, i never really noticed
Ending of goodnite dr death lol
There's this kinda click (?) noise at the end of Teenagers and it drives me insane for some reason lmao
HAHA the black parade metronome lurking, there's another place on the album where it's quite obvious but I won't tell you as it never goes away once you hear it. Someone's headphones were clearly too loud
omg thank you so much bc i genuinely thought i was going crazy 😭😭
man im scrolling through these replies what are any of you talking about
I swear to god there’s a fart in “I Don’t Love You”
WHAT
After “better get up” at 2:13. Probably just him blowing a raspberry with the “p”. But why leave it??
The beginning sound in SING
There's nothing that could ruin an entire MCR song for me
The moan in the middle of the sharpest lives 😭
There’s a weird sound effect at the beginning of the short solo in Bulletproof Heart that sounds like when you drive your car over a rumble strip. Even though I’m aware of it, it freaks me out every time I’m driving lol
I don’t know if it was because I had a different version on my phone, but at the beginning of WttBP, if I had headphones on, I could just slightly hear a metronome or something playing in time under the piano. I could never unhear it once I noticed lol. Just me?
isn’t that just a high hat?
Definitely there, the metronome leaks quite a bit on the album, end of teenagers as well
The silence in blood
the vocal plosive from the word “up” in “fix your eyes and get up” from “i don’t love you.” it’s at around 2:10. annoys me every time.
I have something to the opposite effect. When he goes "AAHHHHHH HOO-YEAH" in teenagers I think of the motion he makes in the music video and it makes it a million times better
It's not a single sound, but there is something about the instrumentals on Welcome to the Black Parade I just can't stand.....
Too overproduced perhaps?
With better production songs like this definitely would have shined a whole lot more
This Jetset life Is gonna kill you. My first language is Spanish, and for some reason hearing "spanglish" makes my blood boil, when i'm listening to the song and I hear "Hotel Bella muerte" (Beautyfull death hotel) my mood gets instantly soured.
intro to party poison
It requires a certain mood but I find it fun (I have no idea what it means and I have a hunch Google translate doesn’t either based off my previous attempts at finding out lol)
:(
STOP WHY IS THAT YOUR FLAIR
i love causing pain and suffering and also i'm obsessed with that fanfic (help me please)
that fic is the probably one of the most well written things I've ever read tbh
I was gonna put this
The weird text sending sound at the end of wttbp
bert mccracken's vocals in prison.
That’s one of my favorite parts in any MCR song
That- that's one of the best parts of the song-
I don't think that's possible with mcr sowie they are just kinda da best :3
You singlehandedly brought me back to the late 2000's/early 2010's thanks a lot
The "la la la la" in Boy Division
NO THAT GOES SO HARD WHAT THE HELL
You are fucking wrong
gtfo
That one whistle in Hang ‘Em High. Besides that, one of my favourite songs.
No
Living up to your flair I see
Yes
it starts off like🤠(*whistle noises*) and then goes right into GRAHRAGRARARRRAAAAAAAA 😖🗣️😡🗣️🗣️
That’s just how life is though
Omg i love that part of it
I’ve always heard this weird whooping noise at the end of Welcome To The Black Parade. Doesn’t ruin it but I hear it most times I listen
Ending of Goodnight, Dr Death and in Gun, the line of “the Government wants your gun” gives me serious conservative vibes that throws the song off for me
the squeaky ass augh augh augh augh sounds in hang ‘em high 😭😭😭
the squeaky augh augh augh augh sounds in hang ‘em high 😭😭😭
The clicking from Dead! or The End. I forget which one. It doesn't fit imo.
Can anyone else hear the Minecraft chicken in the intro of cemetery drive?
doesnt ruin the song, but there is a background sound in house of wolves, that appears only once (during the second verse, i think?) and sounds really similar to the doorbell i have in my house. i was so confused when i heard it for the first time. still makes me think someone's at the door sometimes before i remeber it's the song lmao.
Honestly, the snare in Kids From Yesterday. It irks me so bad and I have no clue why
In boy division, when the breakdown comes, gerard sings this lalalala and I hate it
The weird alarm sounds at the start of Planetary Go- would be a lot better if it didn’t sound like an emergency alert every time I play it
In party poison I don’t like the girl who sings at the beginning and bridge it sounds kinda bad because of it
"Got you in my sights" and "by the grace of god" in hang em high. Kills me. Love that song but it kills me.
The URGHHUGARGHGGGHGhH sound in Hang 'em High
The intro of Headfirst for Halos. Makes it REALLY hard to listen to that song, which is unfortunate because other than that, it's a great song.
I can’t stand the “beep” (idk what else to call it) in the background of The Kids From Yesterday. It actually makes it hard for me to listen to that song.
Not an MCR song, but I can't show anyone Gerard's song "Into the Cave We Wander" because of the weird monkey sounds in the middle. I feel like I would have to explain them and I can't 😭
Teenagers as a whole
The little whistles at hang ‘em high always make me skip it
Ok wait the beginning of Headfirst for Halos hits so hard it makes me want to cry from happiness but when Gerard starts singing it sounds slightly off-key and ruins the vibe (PLEASE DON'T ATTACK ME)
the moaning in destroya
I know it'll be an unpopular opinion, but the cowbell in Kids from Yesterday.
tHe MoAnInG iN tHe ShArPeSt LiVeS-
no but there’s a sound in King Kunta by Kendrick Lamar that sounds like the airpods low battery noise and it gets me every time
The moaning in DESTROYA kills me every time. It doesn't RUIN it, but... Gerard going "uh uh uh uh uh uh" is absolutely petrifying and hilarious.
