In terms of their other stuff it doesn't have the raw energy of Helena or I'm not ok (or the rest of three cheers for sweet revenge generally) or the (i've always assumed ironic) camp overstatment and bravado of The Black Parade.
So, in conclusion, its fine but nothing I can get that excited over.”
Actually, I'm Not Okay is probably my favourite MCR song. They have had a lot of good songs. The Black Parade was a great rock concept album, but it's a slight change in direction, which I think is good. I love Gerard's voice on it too. It's improved, generally.
