About Three Cheers
Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge was MCR’s major-label debut, despite being their sophomore effort. It was released June 8th, 2004 with Reprise Records. The release is a concept album telling the story of a man who makes a deal with the devil to be reunited with his lover, who he thinks has died. He must kill a thousand evil souls, and in the end, he must kill himself to fulfill the deal, making it impossible to see his wife again.

My Chemical Romance Cleanup
|
|
In honor of the Black Parade reissue coming out in September, I thought it would be cool if we did a My Chemical Romance cleanup! I’ve been cleaning up their discography over the past few weeks, but with four studio albums, a greatest hits collection, two live albums, and numerous EPs, there is a lot to fix. Would anyone be up for it?
I was thinking we could have a few “meet-ups” along the way to hang out and work together to make the job fun. I’m gonna start up a Google Hangouts group text for anyone who’s interested, and maybe we can play some online games every once in a while. There could also be listening parties for each album — maybe a different album each week? Then we could clean up as we listen, not only providing some nice background music but also engaging potential new fans.
Studio Albums:
- I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love (2002)
- Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge (2004)
- The Black Parade (2006)
- Danger Days: The True Lives Of The Fabulous Killjoys (2010)
