From what I've heard it was mostly Thursday and The Used that got them where they are today, and I have heard about some controversy between them and The Used but I don't really know much about that business.
However I do know that they're going to tour the UK with Thursday, so things cant be that awful between the two bands. And you're right, out of their three main albums (I brought you my bullets, Three cheers, and Black Parade) only the latter two have seen success. But there was another band who's first cd was a washout, and their name was Nirvana. You cant expect an indy punk band from New Jersey to have a hit on their first cd. However what impressed me was that several tracks off I Brought You My Bullets are just incredible, and they made music videos for at least two tracks off it, Vampires Will Never Hurt You and Honey This Mirror Aint Big Enough for the Two of Us.
And as far as I can see from their music as well as a lot of the other material I've seen from them, they seem to be a genuinely fun band, despite the fact that at least one of them has a serious obsession with mass murder during weddings and killing girlfriends.
