My Chemical Romance for you
L. Sion said it best at Amazon.com
The winning formula of My Chemical Romance (MCR) is a mixture of four totally different styles, Gothic/British vocal and lyric, "Sonic youth"-ish type of rhythm guitar, neck-breaking "Metal"-ish guitar solo, and punk/emo rhythm, and this album (their second album and first major label release) show what is the best answer they can work out from the formula.
What best describes My Chemical Romanceis WOW!
THE CHEERS FOR SWEET REVENGE
1. Helena
2. Give 'Em Hell, Kid
3. To The End
4. You Know What They Do To Guys Like Us In Prison
5. I'm Not Okay (I Promise)
6. The Ghost Of You
7. The Jetset Life Is Gonna Kill You
8. Interlude
9. Thank You For The Venom
10. Hang 'Em High
11. It's Not A Fashion Statement, It's A Deathwish
12. Cemetery Drive
13. I Never Told You What I Do For A Living
From start to finish this album is an adrenaline rush. It would even make a music pirate consider buying the record. The album is also ordered in a way that each song flows after each other seamlessly. Despite the dark imagery within the music’s lyrics there is some very solid song writing.
They have to be doing something right, the song Ghost of You’s music video is rising through the Muchmusic countdownfor the week beginning November 4. It is not sure if they will rise from 5th place and go straight for one, but right now that video is hot. Unlike most songs where you are not sure if the music even goes with the video, MCR make that connection. The video takes place around soldiers fighting in war fit in well with the songs lyrical content of, “Never coming home, never coming home”.
A writers note, When January comes I know the one album I will buy is MCR’s Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge.
