My Chemical Romance – Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge

2004 Reprise Records

4 Stars

Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge My Chemical Romance’s breakout album that proved this band would be a force to be reckoned with. This album is alternative, it is emo, it is punk it is so many things and the songs are great. The biggest single would be the fast paced Helena along with I’m Not Okay (I Promise) being an underrated but charting single My Chemical Romance became a recognizable name amongst music fans.

This album combines its emo roots and punk rock attitude with wondrous pop sensibility without being cheesy throwaway radio rock. My Chemical Romance will rock you and even if you want to be sad about the emo lyrics the pace and the rockin’ style of Three Cheers will make you bob your head and shake your booty and leave you wanting more.

Try out Helena, Give ‘Em Hell Kid, I’m Not Okay (I Promise), Thank You For The Venom and the wonderfully titled It’s Not A Fashion Statement, It’s A Death Wish.

This band needs no other to be compared with but I think if you like A.F.I. you will enjoy My Chemical Romance and vice versa.
