The Black Parade is the third studio album by American rock band My Chemical Romance, first released in 2006, through Reprise Records. A predominantly emo, alternative rock, pop-punk, hard rock, and punk rock concept album, it is centered on the story of a dying man with cancer known as "The Patient", as he nears the end of his life. The album was produced by the band alongside Rob Cavallo.
The Black Parade received generally favorable reviews from critics. The album was a commercial success, debuting at number two on both the Billboard 200 and the UK Albums Chart. It has been certified as 4 platinum in the United States, 3 platinum in the United Kingdom. The album was supported by four singles: "Welcome to the Black Parade", which was the band's first number one single in the United Kingdom, "Famous Last Words", "I Don't Love You", and "Teenagers".
In the years since its release, The Black Parade has been revered by music journalists as one of, if not the most important album to the history of the emo music genre. It left a profound impact on the sound of emo music, with it largely ending the dominance of emo-pop and influencing the sound of future rappers, numerous metalcore bands, contemporary pop artists, as well as film soundtracks. The album also left a significant impact on alternative culture and fashion as a whole, and propelled My Chemical Romance to become a global phenomenon, with the album being considered the band's defining work. In 2020, Rolling Stone ranked the album number 361 in its updated list of the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time".

I use the Goldmine Grading System, and play-test all records. I note any differences between vinyl and cover, and make note of any inserts, special sleeves, or potential defects.
MINT (M) - Absolutely perfect in every way. Most often this is a still sealed record, records that have been opened are rarely if ever marked as Mint.
NEAR MINT (NM) - A good description is that it looks like it just came from a retail store and it was opened for the first time. In other words, it?s nearly perfect, with no visible defects.
VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+) - Except for a couple minor things, this could be Near Mint. Most collectors will be happy with a VG+ record, especially if on the high end (VG++). VG+ records may show slight signs of wear, including light scuffs or very light scratches that do not affect the listening experience. Covers should have only minor wear.
VERY GOOD (VG) - VG records are among the biggest bargains, and for many, will be worth the money. They can lack the original gloss, may have surface noise, and some scratches may be audible, especially in soft passages. But the noise will not overpower the music. VG covers will have signs of handling, and may have minor splits.
GOOD PLUS (G+) - Good+ does not mean bad! The record still plays through without skipping, but it has significant surface noise and groove wear. Cover may have significant ring wear, noticeable writing, or obvious damage.
GOOD (G) - Record may have some skipping, but is otherwise listenable. I generally avoid selling Good (G) rated records unless they are highly collectible or desirable, in order to enjoy until something better comes along. Cover has major wear or seam splits that need repair, or heavy writing like radio station call letters to prevent theft.
