Now i am a MCR fan dont get me wrong ... but are they really that good?
now everytime i turn kerrang or mtv on there they are rocking along and The daft tv allways calls them emo... which they most definately ARE NOT.... so do you guys think they really deserve the hype they getting atm or are they really just anoth phad that will see them become another group to disapear to the background once their big song has gone again?

They're simply the flavour of the month at the moment, and we all now how the mainstream music industry carefully picks and chooses their 'alternative' category. They continually pick the tamest, most media friendly songs on albums, even if they are most certainly not the best.
Don't get me wrong either, I like MCR, but they are not emo (DEFINITELY!) and they are not the best band in the world. At times I find their lyrical and musical range is very limited to their own individual hype; they very rarely branch like similarly 'emo' labelled bands picked up the the maninstream like The Used do.
Eventually, their style will melt out of the limelight.

First of all, I REALLY like MCR's new album. The first time I heard "Welcome to the Black Parade", I just can't help but rewind it over and over. I just love the song. The song's tragic but it gives hope. It's so powerful.
Now with all the hype. I know what you mean. Sometimes I think too that they are being over played on radio stations. But who cares really.. I mean, it just mean that their song is sooo good. It deserves all the attention. And even if all the hype would fade, I won't care. I will still listen to MCR as long as they make good music. And I bet they will still. They have evolved into so much more than they were before. It's great and I think its fking awesome! Three cheers for MCR =oD

Don't let the TV people bother you. Geez. Your an MCR fan and you should be supporting them through out the whole way that they choose to take. That's what a true fan would do. I've been listening to MCR ever since Bullets and i'm proud of these 5 men rocking their hearts out and delivering a message to their listeners. You may think they're only going to be a "phad" but I most definitely do not. :]

I think they deserve all the hype there getting as they are a great band but your right, they shoudln't be called emo and so possibly are getting all the hype in the wrong context just because there music isn't as heavy as others.

I know what you mean. But it's not their fault that they are kind of overplayed sometimes. It's because there are nice looking guys in the band and all these really young girls start liking them and it ends up not even being about the music at all.
I personally am a big fan. I think their new cd is fantastci and proves that their songs may get big but they will continue to make good music until they choose to stop. :)
