MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE - Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge LP

Label: Reprise / WEA

Limited vinyl LP pressing. Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge was the major label debut that established My Chemical Romance as one of the most talented and unique bands of the mid 2000's. The band combined the best of punk, metal and emo to create a sound that brought hope to darkness. The Songs 'I'm Not Okay (I Promise),' 'Helena' and 'The Ghost Of You' and many others from this album inspired an army of fans (MCRmy) that have remained loyal to this day.

Put an old At the Drive-In record on in the background, and suddenly you're shot in the arm and down to your last clip. Economic, treble-kicking production, consistently hyper, "Let's get to the next note NOW!" instrumentation, and great thematic songwriting -- Three Cheers teems with the influences MCR shares with its peers, but recent efforts from fellow travelers Thursday and A.F.I. don't have this furious immediacy, this coarseness that's so appealing. There's no question of Reprise's high hopes for My Chemical Romance and Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge.
