Album Notes My Chemical Romance: Gerard Way (vocals); Ray Toro, Frank Iero (guitar); Mikey Way (bass guitar); Matt Pelissier (drums).For its major-label debut, My Chemical Romance amps up the melodies in transforming its unique hardcore approach to more of a pop-punk style. To say this Jersey quintet subscribes to the half-empty-glass outlook on love and relationships is like saying Johnny Rotten is a slightly irritable chap. Buried amid the abundant sing-along choruses and the tasty, two-guitar attack of fretburners Ray Toro and Frank Iero is doom-and-gloom imagery that ranges from the suicidal allusions of the soaring "Cemetery Drive" to the murder and firing squads of the insistent "Give 'Em Hell Kid." Frontman Gerard Way exudes plenty of charisma, and his clear and powerful phrasing works well in a format where vocal precision is often an afterthought. In particular, Way shines within the bizarre confines of the quirky "You Know What They Do to Guys Like Us in Prison" and the subtler nuances of the dream-pop-flavored "The Ghost of You." Falling somewhere between metal and punk with a distinctive pop sensibility, THREE CHEERS FOR SWEET REVENGE puts My Chemical Romance in line for the kind of success achieved Blink 182.

Top Reviews Review created: 10/06/06 by: 8 of 8 people found this review helpful. I love this album, originally bought it as a friend recommended it, and I have to say I'm pleased they did! Not for the faint hearted though, really has to be played full blast and get yourselof ready to mosh your heart out. 'I'm not okay'is my top track, 'Helena' is also top notch. Go on give it a go, what have you got to loose?? Review ID: 10000000001166260 Was this review helpful?

With the singles of I'm not o.k (I promise) and Helanor, then the rest of the album just as good, then this is a must own album, especially for the grebby/emo/punk people ask the catchy lyrics and great sound of the bass and guitars in general are magnificent, go and buy it now!

It has some of My Chemical Romances best songs to date on it. ALthough it is quite different to earlier albums it is different in a good way. Review ID: 10000000008359712 Was this review helpful?
