Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge

It is my chemical Romance of course It’s so good. I love Gerard Way except when mine did come. The CD side was cracked but that’s OK. It’s still Gerard Way.!!!!

Excelente

I'll admit when MCR first came across my radar, I was right on the verge of being too old for their targeted demographic, but there was just something about this band. Nearly a decade later, and this beast is still taking me to that same place as it had that first time. Is it a dark place? No. This music isn't a Catholic cry fest, nor is it a denial of life. It is, contrary to the lyrical imagery or the frenzied mood of the music, a celebration of life in spite of all the evil @#*! that it often brings. Sure, there are gangster vampires, car crashes, dying loves and all those haunted memories crowding these songs like demented, drug-addled party-worn phantoms, but beyond all that the sense I always got from Gerard Way's words (and especially in his delivery) was "Give me all your poison...you're running after something you'll never kill..." I once described this band (to a friend) as "the Pixies meets Metallica." I don't know if that ever did this band, or their music any justice, but I still stand by the description. Unlike the frenzied punk of the Pixies, there was dark driven guitar after layered guitar burning as brightly and as intensely as anything Metallica, or any other metal band had done before them. But unlike Metallica, there was just always this punk rock edge I'm certain Cliff Burton would have very much appreciated. Put it this way, if metal was the leather clad father, and Goth powder faced black lipstick wearing smokey eyed mother, and emo the drama-queen daughter with black mascara streaks running from her eyes, then MCR certainly drank from the fount of this particular undead muse, even if they denied the label. They weren't like any other band from this, the fourth wave of hard rock bands (counting since the late 60s/early 70s). They weren't Thursday, or the Used, and definitely less poppy than say Fall Out Boy or AFI. Like KISS, Alice Cooper, Bauhaus, and Marilyn Manson, they donned specific looks for each album, often portraying characters spun right out of Gerard Way's fertile imagination, giving their music (as well as the band's image) an extra dimension lacking in other artists. Because of the controversy they courted, and the inclusive nature of their message, they spawned a loyal cult-like following that only grows rather than declining, even since their permanent split going on two years now. (Has it been so long already?) If you don't believe that hype, just look at the prices that not only Three Cheers is going for (the original 2008 red vinyl fetches between $200 to $300), not to mention the recent reissues from Newbury Comics and Hot Topic (already climbing to around $100 and higher). People are really paying these prices because they so love the music this band created. But like any good thing, even this had to come to an end. Truly there have been kids who have worn black clothes and sported long hair (often dyed in different shades), whose lives have been cut short due to poor choices and/or suicidal tendencies (the name of a great band from the late 80s), but to blame this band or their music for such sad behavior simply misses the point. Like any artist, great and otherwise (even the aforementioned Marilyn Manson, who once accused this band of sincerely flattering him), they were making a STATEMENT, often confused by (already confused) pundits who hate new music and are truly terrified of the impact it might have upon the kids, with the message diluted or even twisted hopelessly beyond the intended meaning by the time it gets to the parents (and us other old-timers). It isn't the first time this has gone on (I still remember the Christian right-wingers marching in protest in front of Marilyn Manson venues), nor I predict, will it be the last. The POINT, as I see it, is that there is a certain joy to be had, even in the darkness, in spite of all the pain. It certainly isn't worth cutting your wrists over. Just put Three Cheers back on the old CD player, or if you like, give that vinyl version a spin and crank it like it's the first time. It'll be OK, you'll see. Trust me.

nice :P boyfriend loved it

AHHH I LOVEEEE MCR!!!

The Album Itself --------------------- Now as a HUGE My Chemical Romance Fan I have to say this is my absolute FAVORITE album. This album even includes the VERY FIRST My Chemical Romance song that I had ever listened to "Helena" and my personal theme song "I'm Not Okay (I Promise)". This album had came out in 2003 and it had been their second album released. Now the CD has all of the songs listed on the back. 1.Helena 2.Give 'Em Hell Kid 3.To The End 4.You Know What They Do To Guys Like Us In Prison 5.I'm Not Okay (I Promise) 6.The Ghost Of You 7.The Jetset Life Is Gonna Kill you 8.Interlude 9.Thank You For The Venom 10.Hang 'Em High 11.It's Not A Fashion Statement, It's A F***ing Deathwish 12.Cemetary Drive 13.I Never Told You What I Do For A Living Now the CD case is pretty basic It has the same cover as in the picture above except it's not faded. The CD itself has a white background with red text and a red cross rosary printed on it. Inside of the cover has the lyrics to all of the songs (not the complete lyrics I believe) and the white background with a grey printed cross rosary. The cover also includes all of the people the whole band would like to thank, special thanks, whom Mikey Would like to thank, whom Ray would like to thank, whom Frank would like to thank, whom Matt would like to thank, and whom Gerard would like to thank. As I had said before this is my absolute favorite album and I HIGHLY recommend purchasing a copy. The Shipping and Quality -------------------------------- The shipping was fine it came at a reasonable time and it came unharmed. The quality of the CD was pretty much perfect except for 2 small cracks/nicks in the case and a small bit of wear but I wouldn't make such a fuss over it because it is absolutely pointless because it isn't really that severe nor is it that big of a deal. I REALLY RECOMMEND MY FELLOW KILLJOYS BUY THIS ALBUM!!!!!!

Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge es el segundo álbum de estudio de la banda estadounidense de rock My Chemical Romance, lanzado en 2004. Este disco marcó un punto de inflexión en la carrera del grupo y consolidó su lugar en la escena del rock alternativo y emo de principios de los 2000. Con su enfoque emotivo, visceral y teatral, el álbum logró captar la atención de una audiencia más amplia, haciendo que My Chemical Romance se convirtiera en una de las bandas más emblemáticas del género. El álbum está lleno de letras profundamente personales y temáticas relacionadas con el dolor, la venganza, el desamor y la muerte. La narrativa de Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge es casi como una ópera rock, centrada en una historia de venganza y redención que se despliega a través de las canciones. El álbum comienza con la oscura "The End." y progresa hacia el tema central del disco: un personaje que busca vengarse de su propia muerte y enfrenta la lucha interna de la vida y la muerte. Este álbum también marcó el inicio de la "era emo" del rock, abriendo camino a muchas otras bandas del género que siguieron su influencia en los años venideros. Además, la estética de la banda, con su estilo teatral y su fuerte conexión con la cultura gótica, se convirtió en un sello distintivo que inspiró a una generación de fanáticos que se identificaron con la oscuridad y la vulnerabilidad emocional de la banda. Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge es una obra maestra del rock de principios de los 2000, que sigue siendo relevante hoy en día. Con su mezcla de melodías pegajosas, letras desgarradoras y una energía cruda, el álbum captura la esencia emocional de su época. Es un disco indispensable para los fanáticos del emo, el punk y el rock alternativo, y sigue siendo uno de los álbumes más queridos y representativos de My Chemical Romance.

Album came exactly as expected and has played smoothly without issues. I was skeptical given the misspelling in the listing, but we were very pleased with the quality and shipping.
