Emo's Sgt. Pepper, and it knows it: The Black Parade stages death as glam-rock theater — Liza Minnelli cameo, marching-band uniforms, "Welcome to the Black Parade"'s G note triggering a generation on contact. Beneath the concept, songs like "Famous Last Words" carry genuine desperation. Ambition this unembarrassed rarely lands; this landed.
