Immortal Reviews
The album is a tragic cross between edginess and some good ideas, but neither points are actually achieved throughout the record, making the album almost widely forgettable until you look at its purpose.

COS
On this record, MCR shows off their essential qualities, the ones that helped launch their next release to greatness and were later lost along the road to emo-pop fame. The original MCR is full of anger and hurt, genuine garage-band no-one-has-ever-hurt-this-much-before hurt, and this record teems with it, as well as pure, transcendental punk-flavored joy.

This album is unique, in that while you'll find standard emo-ish lyrics, the context they're put in is vastly darker and more sinister in nature than your average emotionally charged musical fare of the day.

The introduction to the album sounds like something out of Leitmotif (the first studio album from Dredg) mixed with an older western-type movie, and leaves the listener kind of bewildered. However, all feelings other than excitement exit as soon as the first chord of the second track bursts through the speakers - and from that moment the listener is hooked, and stays there for the duration of the record.

POPMATTERS
I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love, positions My Chemical Romance (their name's an Irvine Welsh allusion) as the kid brother to goth-punk leading lights A.F.I. But where that group's latest, Sing the Sorrow, matched soaring, catchy guitar riffs with a bleak outlook, MCR is content to grind out their miseries.

Genius
This record set a precedent for all the others — following a distinct storyline. All songs include individual stories of love between two individuals who will inevitably be taken away from each other after their beautiful time together. The reason for their separation varies from song to song.

Drowned in Sound
This record’s undeniable fragmentation is displayed in the fact that every song can happily stand alone and be played on repeat - but only if you wish to attain the same level of mental torture and distress that MCR are clearly at.
