Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge free essay sample

First of all, let me say that I was never a huge fan of My Chemical Romance. Most of their fans are young and worship them like the high-school heartbreakers they are. Ive even seen MCR live when opening for random acts, and they never hooked me. That said, imagine my astonishment when I actually enjoyed a few songs on their newest album, â€Å"Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge.† The album begins with the incredibly hooky â€Å"Helena.† The lead singer has obviously gotten some voice training since the last album and overall, the band has greatly improved its production. However, by the refrain to â€Å"Give Em Hell, Kid† (which, by the way, has some very nice drum sequences), I feel like it was written for sing-alongs at a live show. Ugh. And then, the album keeps going. And going, and going, and going. It keeps up with this Hot-Topic-esque, slightly dark formula of being obviously well-produced, but lets face it, kids, each song is difficult to differentiate from the next, and that gets tiresome. We will write a custom essay sample on Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge or any similar topic specifically for you Do Not WasteYour Time HIRE WRITER Only 13.90 / page The best thing â€Å"Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge† has going for it is the summery-type flavor in the first few songs until you actually listen to what theyre singing, and then it becomes shallow, overproduced, and unoriginal, yet fun in a disposable, commercial way. The easy-to-sing choruses are fun until it becomes painfully obvious that there is simply no end! Dont rush out to buy this one.
