My Chemical Romance – The Black Parade / Living With Ghosts

Sounds great, my only complaint is that the hidden track isn’t hidden enough. There’s plenty of room left on side 3 for them to have left a silence longer than five seconds before it.

This is a great pressing to my ears. Held off on getting this album for so many years due to hearing not great things about any of the versions. Ended up purchasing this one as it was the most desirable pressing to me... and I am pleasantly surprised by the sound quality on both of the "albums" here. The sonics are not perfect but are MORE than serviceable. More listens may even bump it up higher. I would recommend this set!

Not having listened to the album except on youtube on any previous cd, mp3 or lp I have no basis for comparison but I think this particular 10th anniversary with Living With Ghosts included sounds great. My complaint with it is that Living With Ghosts is really only for hardcore hardcore mcr fans. These are some really raw demos that reveal a whole hell of a lot about the whole studio process if you really love song creation, editing and engineering. It's not easy to listen too though, it's not finished or ready for release in any real form, it's not "good" in the classical sense. I think since I got the album I listened to The Black Parade maybe 14 or 15 times over the course of two months or so (believe it or not I had never heard it before 2019, nobody told me, thank you everyone) , exactly once was enough for Living With Ghosts. I think I would have prefered a regular pressing of The Black Parade w/o "Ghosts" but hey, first world problem.

My copy of this skips quite a bit on side B

Anyone know what the audio quality on these pressings are? Just listened to the digital version; can't tell if they've remastered the audio here or not. I'm sincerely hoping they cleaned things up a bit in comparison to the original release, or at least didn't re-use the audio they used for the last couple vinyl-represses (which, BTW, sound very 'meh')
