2002 to now
Discography
Four studio albums, one live record, a singles series, a compilation, and one new song since the reunion. For a band this big, that is a short list.
| Year | Title | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2002 | I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love | Studio album | Eyeball Records. Recorded fast and cheap, and it sounds like it in a way that a lot of fans still prefer. |
| 2004 | Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge | Studio album | Reprise. The breakthrough. Helena and I'm Not Okay (I Promise) pushed it to platinum. |
| 2006 | The Black Parade | Studio album | Reprise. The concept record, four singles, past four million copies sold. |
| 2008 | The Black Parade Is Dead! | Live album | CD and DVD, recorded in Mexico City and at Maxwell's in Hoboken during the world tour. |
| 2010 | Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys | Studio album | Reprise. A full reset into colour, radio transmissions and desert science fiction. |
| 2012 to 2013 | Conventional Weapons | Singles series | Five paired singles of material recorded before Danger Days, released from the vault. |
| 2014 | May Death Never Stop You | Compilation | Greatest hits plus unreleased material, issued after the split. |
| 2022 | The Foundations of Decay | Single | The first new song after the reunion, released in May 2022. |
Reading the list
Four albums, four different bands
The gap between the debut and Danger Days is unusually wide for eight years of work. Bullets is a scrappy independent record. Three Cheers is a major label rock album with hooks aimed squarely at radio. The Black Parade is a rock opera with a choir on it. Danger Days abandons all of that for something bright and synthetic.
That refusal to repeat an album is part of why the 2026 tour reads as such an event. The band has never gone back to the Black Parade sound on record, so the only way to hear that material properly is live.
