Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge

My Chemical Romance's 2002 debut, was a particularly strident entry in that shifty genre of bands, slamming together elements of emo, hardcore, and even metal. Rightly signed to a larger label (In this case, Reprise Records), MCR has returned in 2004 with Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge. With the aid of production major-leaguer, Howard Benson, they've edited the slightly rookie excesses of the band's first album. This resulting in a pretty damn good relentless product. Ghosts wander in this Sweet Revenge, and the blood-stained lovers on it's cover are no joke. ".....Throttle the ignition, Would I die for you, Well here's you answer in spades.....Got you in my sights", singer Gerard Way wails in Hang 'Em High. There is also a cinematic concepting here - The story of a man, a woman, and the corpses of a thousand evil men... the liners intone. You Know What They Do To Guys Like Us In Prison begins, "In the middle of a gunfight, in the center of a restaurant, they say come with your arms raised high". The cut is claustrophobic, messy, and juiced with adrenaline, like the Tokyo crime caper shootout, it was probably inspired by. Picture antiheroes leaping sideways with twin pistols blaring - in slow motion of course - and you've almost got it. Put an old "At the drive - in" record in the background, and suddenly you're shot in the arm, and down to your last clip. This cd combines treble - kicking production, constant hyperness, "Get to the next note now" instrumentation, and great thematic songwriting. Three Cheers teams with the influences Mcr shares with their peers, but recent efforts from fellow travelers such as The Used and Thursday, don't have the same furious immediacy or coarseness that makes them so appealing. My Chemical Romance seems to have built - in restrictive bindings that prevent them from flying off the handle quiet - loud screamo stereotyping , or odd bird stopovers into choral parts or maudlin piano. Something Like "Ghost Of You" might slow the pace, but it doesn't touch the railing guitars or explosive drumming. Album highlights include the propulsive chain shots "Give 'Em Hell Kid" and "To The End", where layers of vocals increase urgency of modernist emo. There's no question that Three Cheers surpasses MCR's first album by a landslide. Expect nothing but extremely amazing music from this cd.
It's Not A Fashion Statement, It's A Fucking Deathwish from Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge.

Hip hip hooray for me, You talked to me, But would you kill me in my sleep, Lay still like the dead, From the razor to the rosary, We could lose ourselves and paint these walls in pitchfork red, I will avenge my ghost with every breath I take, I'm coming back from the dead, Would I take you home with me, I'm taking back the life you stole.....

Cheerio Boy

a term in the gay community (not widely used as I invented it myself). It refers to a fellow with a very small, round, and tight "he-hole".

Chee Bye

Used in areas where the Chinese dialect of Hokkien is spoken, and also in Taiwan as part of their Min Nan dialect.
The two-word Chinese phrase literally means 'vagina', and is commonly regarded as both derogatory and vulgar. It can be used as part of an English sentence in parts of Malaysia and Singapore.
"Chee Bye! I missed the freaking bus again!" (Here it is used mainly as a swear word to express frustration.)

"That chee bye took my cigarettes without asking." (Here it is used as a noun to describe a person whom you are trying to degrade. Similar to calling that person an 'asshole' or 'jerk'. )

"Hey chee bye! Long time no see!" (Similar to above, but used between friends in a casual manner. Much like "Hey dickhead! Where have you been?")

"Kan Nina Bu Chow Chee Bye! You want to pick a fight?" (Here it is used as part of a popular vulgarity which literally translates to 'screw your mother's stinking vagina'. This is a traditional vulgarity. Be careful as its usage is very provocative, and usually some heated argument will follow.)
