SLEEVE NOTES: Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge - 2025 Vinyl Reissue

Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge

Formed in Newark, New Jersey in 2001, My Chemical Romance erupted onto the scene with theatrical fury and emotional precision. Fronted by Gerard Way, comic book artist turned reluctant rock prophet, the band defined a generation teetering between angst and aesthetic. Their major-label debut, Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge (2004), was a bloody sonnet for the misunderstood, a concept driven explosion of grief, revenge, and unapologetic eyeliner. Nearly two decades later, their influence bleeds into every corner of alternative music and fashion.

This isn’t just a reissue, it’s a resurrection! Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge is widely recognized as MCR’s breakout masterpiece, blending post-hardcore grit with operatic flair. Its narrative of tragic lovers and supernatural vengeance turned suburban bedrooms into confessionals. From the distorted gallop of “Thank You for the Venom” to the sucker punch heartbreak of “I’m Not Okay,” this album didn’t just soundtrack a movement.. it authored it.

The 2025 vinyl reissue arrives in full ceremonial splendor: remastered for high-fidelity analog warmth, and housed in a newly detailed gatefold sleeve.. It’s less about retro aesthetics and more about reclamation.. Reclamation of feeling, of teenage truth, of sonic rebellion.
