Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge (often shortened to Three Cheers or Revenge) [1] is the second studio album by American rock band My Chemical Romance, released on June 8, 2004, by Reprise Records. [2] [3] With this album, the band produced a more polished sound than that of their 2002 debut I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love . [4] It was the band's first release to feature rhythm guitarist Frank Iero on all tracks, as well as the final release to feature drummer Matt Pelissier, who would later be replaced by Bob Bryar. [5]

Contents

The album received positive reviews from critics and was a commercial success for both the band and the Reprise label. [6] The record produced four singles—"I'm Not Okay (I Promise)", "Helena", "The Ghost of You", and in the United Kingdom, "Thank You for the Venom". [4] It was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) less than a year after its release, [3] and has sold over three million copies in the United States. [6]

Music and lyrical themes

Musically, Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge has been described as emo, [7] [8] alternative rock, [8] pop punk, [9] post-hardcore, [10] punk rock, [11] and pop rock. [12] While I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love was considered "a particularly strident entry in that shifty genre of bands tortuously slamming together elements of emo, hardcore, and even metal", [13] Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge "both showcased their songwriting skills and gave them much-deserved attention". [4] Moving away from the "screamo parts" [14] and "the more complicated structures" [15] of their first record in favor of a sound that "skirts the line between pop punk and edgy, theatrical, emo" [4] while being "strongly influenced by hardcore punk", [15] Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge has been variously compared to The Misfits, [16] AFI, [13] and Thursday. [13]

Lead singer Gerard Way has referred to the first single "I'm Not Okay (I Promise)" as a "self help pop song" [17] while also being called "a surging piece of emo-pop with a hook as ridiculously catchy as it was ridiculous" [18] and a "moving anthem for the young and depressed" [19] by AllMusic and Rolling Stone respectively. This single went on to be nominated for the Kerrang! award for best single [20] and reached number 86 on the US Billboard Hot 100. [21]

The album opener "Helena" has been referred to as an "album highlight and smash hit". Gerard has claimed that the song "shaped what the album is about" and "revealed their dark side" in comparison to the first single. [17] Its lyrics mourn the loss of Gerard and Mikey's grandmother, [17] Elena Lee Rush, and was their first entry into the top 40. [21]

Album concept

According to Way, the album can be understood as a "pseudo-conceptual horror story", [4] that details:

...the story of a man and a woman who are separated by death in a gunfight and he goes to hell only to realize by the devil telling him that she's still alive. The devil says he can be with her again if he brings the devil the souls of a thousand evil men and the man agrees to do it, and so the devil hands him a gun. That was the idea behind the concept, the record ended up being much more about loss and real life than anything, so I would say it's a good split. [22]

Johnny Loftus of AllMusic wrote that "with the aid of production major-leaguer Howard Benson, they've edited the slight rookie excesses of I Brought You My Bullets You Brought Me Your Love, resulting in a rewarding, pretty damn relentless product." [23] Andy Greenwald of Blender noted Way's integration of elements of his life into the songs on the album and remarked that his "gulping, gasping whine turns stompers like 'I’m Not Okay (I Promise)' into after-school poetry". [24] Ian Mathers of Stylus Magazine felt that the album contained "twelve near-flawless songs and an interlude in thirty-nine minutes" and that "even when it lets up, [it] doesn’t let up", [31] while Kirk Miller of Rolling Stone described it as "a hell of a good time." [29] IGN critic JR was more reserved in his praise, calling Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge "a good album" that nonetheless "isn't nearly as varied or daring as it could have been". [25] In The Village Voice , Robert Christgau gave it a "dud" rating. [32]

[38] Rock Sound wrote that the album is "an era-defining release", striking "a nerve both musically and emotionally with millions around the world." [39]

In 2016, Rolling Stone declared Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge the tenth greatest emo album out of 40, saying that "Three Cheers wasn't just a concept record, it was a concept sequel, expanding the small-screen story of 2002's I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love into a big-budget production, complete with ruminations on life and death ("Helena") biting kiss-offs ("I'm Not Okay") and a series of dramatic music videos that made them MTV darlings." [40]

Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge has sold over three million copies to date in the United States and has been certified 3× platinum by the RIAA as of December 2017. [41] By February 2006, the album had sold over 1,356,000 copies in the US and 3 million copies to date.

Related Research Articles

Emo is a music genre characterized by emotional, often confessional lyrics. It emerged as a style of hardcore punk and post-hardcore from the mid-1980s Washington, D.C. hardcore scene, where it was known as emotional hardcore or emocore. The bands Rites of Spring and Embrace, among others, pioneered the genre. In the early-to-mid 1990s, emo was adopted and reinvented by alternative rock, indie rock, punk rock, and pop-punk bands, including Sunny Day Real Estate, Jawbreaker, Cap'n Jazz, and Jimmy Eat World. By the mid-1990s, Braid, the Promise Ring, and the Get Up Kids emerged from Midwest emo, and several independent record labels began to specialize in the genre. Meanwhile, screamo, a more aggressive style of emo using screamed vocals, also emerged, pioneered by the San Diego bands Heroin and Antioch Arrow. Screamo achieved mainstream success in the 2000s with bands like Hawthorne Heights, Silverstein, Story of the Year, Thursday, the Used, and Underoath.

Pop-punk is a rock music fusion genre that combines elements of punk rock with power pop or pop. It is defined by its fast-paced, energetic tempos, and emphasis on classic pop songcraft, as well as adolescent and anti-suburbia themes. It is distinguished from other punk-variant genres by drawing more heavily from 1960s bands such as the Beatles, the Kinks, and the Beach Boys. The genre has evolved throughout its history, absorbing elements from new wave, college rock, ska, rap, emo, boy band pop and even hardcore punk. It is sometimes considered interchangeable with power pop and skate punk.
