Former My Chemical Romance frontman Gerard Way admitted in an interview with NME that he never saw his beloved emo outfit continuing past their third album, 2006's The Black Parade, but added he was still proud of their output up until the band split in 2013.
"I plan things pretty far in advance, and before we'd even done the first record, I'd written out titles of things," Way said. "I definitely knew I had the title of the second album before we'd even recorded the first… by the time I got to the third album, which didn't have a name, I felt like that was the end. Basically the time spent after Black Parade was me fighting against that instinct, fighting against myself. The end of Black Parade felt like a very natural end. To go beyond that felt like betraying some sort of artistic command that I had within myself."
