First I would like to say I love this CD. Now lets get down to business. This CD rocks. Thats all......I"m just kidding. Okay now really. Gerard and Mikey Way grew up in New Jersey so they could not really go out that much to play. They had to be home at a certen time. So as they grew up they would love horror movies cause thats all they really had when they were home and thats what Jersey was, a horror movie. So they had a vistion of a bride and groom. But the bride died and so the groom kills himself to be with his love. So the devil and the groom make a deal. If the groom brings him 1,000 evil souls then the devil will give the groom back his bride and they will live happiely ever after. So the groom agrees and so the devil hands him a gun. So the groom brings the devil 1,000 evil souls. And basicly keeps all the souls and the bride and groom. Thats what the CD is really based off. I know...I know alot. HAHAHAHA. But anyways....one of the very first songs thats on the CD is called Helena. Helena is a song about Gerard and Mikey's grandmother that died during the making of this CD. And her realy name is Elena. And the 5th song is called I"m Not Okay (I Promise). I'ts about a girl that Gerard had a crush on in High School. Now he was on the crubby side so he could not get anyone that easy and he also was a nerd. So the girl did alot of really mean things to poor Gerard. So thats what the song is and it's shows her what he has become....A FAMOUS TEEN IDOL AND HOTTY!!! Oh there I go agian talking about how hot he is. HEHEHEHE....my bad. So anyways this is a really good CD. Personally my favorite. So ya you should buy it on eBay. Well if you like rock/punk. Thanks For reading! From, Kittygirls3 KittenRead full review
This album is beyond impressive!!! Gerard Way's voice is so gorgeous that he could do any style of music! I love the theatrical flavour that MCR shows us!! I get so excited when I listen to this cd! Ray Toro is such a guitar king!!! He is royalty when it comes to his playing. And Frank Iero, is a hero!!! He uses so much energy and emotion that God Himself smiles!! That brings us to Mikey Way. This guy's a bass playing superstar!!! He's so gifted, he plays like someone who's been playing since he was a baby. In addition, the drummer Matt Pelissier did a grand job (even though he was later replaced at some juncture of the world tour). I love My Chemical Romance and I find them inspirational. They prove hard work and determination can gain you many of your goals. I think they make a wonderful team and they work well together writing these songs and putting their emotions out their to the listeners. As always, they score an infinite number of cheers from me!!!!!!Read full review
Although this is actually the second CD offered by My Chemical Romance many believe it to be their first. The first CD "I Brought You My Bullets You Brought Me Your Love" was released on a small label and therefore not as well known. "Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge" is an outstanding CD. The first time you listen to it you will understand why this group is so loved by their fans. Simply put the songs ROCK. Tunes like "I'm Not Okay (I Promise)" stick in your head refusing to leave. The song "Helena" written for the late grandmother of Gerard and Mikey Way is hauntingly beautiful. "Ghost of You" offers the same deep emotion. Gerard Way has a voice that can scream obscenities at you one moment then caress you the next. The mix of hard pumping rock and deep felt emotional tunes is perfect. Also listen for Bert McCracken of "The Used" on the tune "You Know What They Do To Guys Like Us In Prison" Even the artwork on this CD is special. It was done by Gerard Way a very talented artist. This is truly an excellent CD.Read full review
It has long been my understanding that My Chemical Romance is one of the greatest bands of its day--which, thankfully, is still occurring. A lot of people are under the misapprehension that their music and, indeed, all aspects of the band are geared toward a younger crowd--in, say, the 12-18 age range. Speaking as a woman of twenty-eight years, I can safely say that I've outgrown the tendency to be a 'fangirl' for every pretty face that I see on MTV. There are so many wonderful things about this band that continue to shock me into a state of awe. They're truly wonderful role models for anyone who listens to them. They love their fans. They put out positive messages--at least, once they found themselves, they did. That brings me to what's fantastic about this particular album. This album, as stated by Gerard Way himself, was My Chem finding themselves. Their first album--I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love--was quite a bit rougher than their two subsequent albums. With each passing, they seem to be refining themselves and polishing a sound that's quite uniquely their own. This is evidenced by many hours of listening to all three albums (including the CD included with Life on the Murder Scene, their DVD package that details their tour just as they came out with this particular album). If you listen closely, you can hear the musical progression from album to album. While Bullets is a harsher album, you can still hear the inklings of what the band would grow to become in their following albums. That, I think, is a beautiful realization and wonderful to experience. So, when listening to this album, knowing that this music is the result of My Chem finding a groove--a path on which to walk, musically...is a truly special thing and the music is fantastic. Is it hard to believe that this is my favorite band? -grin- ~WynRead full review
A great effort in a genre that is getting grossly overlooked by the entertainment media. This is American culture at its best in that MCR employs established rock riffs that have been intelligently re-thought accompanied by hard hitting yet somehow deceivingly intelligent lyrics. This CD is a must for anyone exploring the effect that bands such as Pink Floyd, Queen, Bowie, The Beatles have had upon a new generation. If you have experienced a dearth of contemporary music that satifies, try this. After consuming, immediately acquire "The Black Parade" and see where this auspicious start has lead to. Rating: A+
