It is My Chemical Romance's first release through Reprise. Their first and previous album, ''I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love'', was released through Eyeball Records. It is the band's final release to feature drummer Matt Pelissier, who would later be replaced by Bob Bryar. The album was certified platinum in less than a year from its release.〔 The album has sold over one million copies in the United States.〔 In ''Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge'', My Chemical Romance produced a cleaner sound than that of what they produced in ''I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love''. The album was a success for both the band and the label,〔 although it did meet with mixed reception. The album lifted the popularity for My Chemical Romance more than ''I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love'' had.〔 Gerard Way has described the album as a "pseudo-conceptual horror story".〔 The four released singles from the record included "I'm Not Okay (I Promise)", "Helena", "The Ghost of You", and in the United Kingdom, "Thank You for the Venom". The non-single tracks on the album have been praised as some of the album's "bests" as well, such as "Hang 'Em High" and "The Jetset Life is Gonna Kill You".〔 Gerard Way, the lead singer of the band, drew the album's cover artwork himself. ==Music== 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", ''Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge'' "both showcased their songwriting skills and gave them much-deserved attention".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=My Chemical Romance - Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge - Alternative Press )〕 Moving away from the "screamo parts"〔http://www.melodic.net/?page=review&id=2354〕 and "the more complicated structures"〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=My Chemical Romance - Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge - Review - Stylus Magazine )〕 of their first record in favor of a sound that "skirts the line between pop punk and edgy, theatrical, emo"〔 while being "strongly influenced by hardcore punk".〔 ''Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge'' has been variously compared to The Misfits,〔http://www.rollingstone.com/music/albumreviews/three-cheers-for-sweet-revenge-20040708〕 AFI,〔 and Thursday.〔 The album's sound has also been referred to as Horror punk,〔 and is stated to contain influences from gothic rock〔〔〔http://www.ign.com/articles/2005/09/20/my-chemical-romance-three-cheers-for-sweet-revenge〕 and post punk.〔 Lead singer Gerard Way has referred to the first single "I'm Not Okay (I Promise)" as a "self help pop song"〔http://www.mtv.com/bands/m/my_chemical_romance/news_feature_022805/〕 while also being called "a surging piece of emo-pop with a hook as ridiculously catchy as it was ridiculous"〔http://www.allmusic.com/album/the-black-parade-mw0000563300〕 and a "moving anthem for the young and depressed"〔http://www.rollingstone.com/music/artists/my-chemical-romance/albumguide〕 by Allmusic and Rolling Stone respectively. This single went on to be nominated for the Kerrang! award for best single〔http://news.softpedia.com/news/Green-Day-And-System-Of-A-Down-Tops-The-Kerrang-Awards-2005-Nominations-6167.shtml〕 and reached #86 on the US Billboard Hot 100.〔http://www.billboard.com/artist/311975/my+chemical+romance/chart〕 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 darkside" in comparison to the first single.〔 Its lyrics mourn the loss of Gerard and Mikey's grandmother,〔 Elena Lee Rush, and was their first entry into the top 40.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
