The new breed of rock music? New Breed of Chemical trash!!!! To all the emos out there grow your hair grab a cone and listen to some black metal. This is the album that made rich kids cut there writs, this is the album that made you look like a brat and this is the album that makes me want to start an emo genocide!!!!! you emos make me sick you look like your a walking Corpse.
Bullet through a flock of doves
I didn't know anything about them except I had heard "I'm OK" once or twice. I bought Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge as a gift for my girlfriend. We put the cd in and the first song, "Helena" came on. I couldn't help but notice that it was a great song. "Give em Hell Kid" was next and it was just a blast. "Wow!" This continued for the entire cd, every song. I was blown away.
There is nothing about this album I don't like. It's dark and haunting and beautiful. And it just plain ROCKS! It has an energy and a feel unlike any other album I've heard.
The lyrics and vocals are absolutely brilliant. Gerard Way sings about the darker things in life while still covering a wide range of ideas. From zombies, life in prison, vengeful cowboys, dealing with loss, psychotic killers and drug addiction. One of the things that seperates My Chemical Romance from the rest is Gerard Way can really sing, and he delivers the lyrics with force and emotion.
The guitar playing is excellent as well. I would describe it as post metal punk rock. Though there are some very melodic parts, mostly it is straight ahead and aggressive. Ray Toro, who plays lead and writes most of the music is a guitar genius. Capable of shredding with the best of them, he saves the blistering solos for key moments, making them even better.
Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge is one of those albums that doesn't come around very often. The stars shine, the planets align, and what you get is a true masterpiece.

not the great vinyl pressing this awesome album deserves
i was really excited when i saw that there was finally a vinyl release but when i put the record on i was really disappointed how hissy it sounds. i love this MCR album on my ipod but i really prefer vinyl generally. listening to a great vinyl pressing always reminds me that kids growing up with mp3s (and to some extent cds) really missed out on the medium that is most likely to create a fulfilling, dynamic and memorable listening experience. the band & record company really should have spent the money on a 180 gram black vinyl pressing instead of flashy gimmicks like a stencil. maybe if we are lucky they will press it again in a few years with the normal artwork and a record that sounds as good as the content of the album. despite how much i love this album i ended up selling it used and went back to listening to the mp3s. .
Wow
Yes I am one of those punk kids who dies their hair and wears black, but I was doing all of that long, long before I heard any of MCR's music. I seriously believe this is the best album (especially MCR album) I have ever heard. I believe their music is really inspirational and sung well. I also do like groups like the Sex Pistols, but I think MCR is way better.
GOOD!!!
I received the CD a couple of days before the date marked. Fast shipping. The CD was in good condition, there were some minor scratches, but the CD played perfectly. The case was not cracked or broken. Everything was in a good condition. .
