Day 2- Favorite song off of Three Cheers

This is really really hard. Because more than their other albums (except maybe TBP), Revenge feels like a coherent whole to me. And if this is what's meant by a concept album, then hurrah for concept albums. Which doesn't make it any easier to identify a favourite track

The only reason I didn't have a problem with this question is because my love for Prison is huge. It's my total favorite song by them. Deathwish would come second from this album and then I don't even know. I just fucking LOVE this album too much. If I had to choose least favorites I'd also say Helena and The Ghost of You (I love To The End, though). Having heard them too many times (because of the videos being on too often back then) must have a lot to do with it. However, I never got tired of I'm Not Okay. :D

And I agree about the long song titles! I miss that. I loved it when they'd name the songs long phrases that weren't even part of the lyrics. From Three Cheers...only two have titles out of the lyrics! xD

Just noticed I didn't say anything about Deathwish. Hmmm. I like it but I think it suffers from coming right after Hang 'Em High - which is like the continuation of the Demolition Lovers story and therefore very close to my heart. Deathwish does have a fantastic guitar intro, though. *g*

O HAI. :D I love this! Revenge is such a freaking amazing album, and you've pulled MANY of my favorite lines from it. (And reminded me that my favorite is "Thank You For the Venom"--UGH I LOVE THAT SONG SO MUCH.) It was great to read your thoughts!

HAI! :D :D :D

Revenge really isamazing! I'm very much a lyrics person - so cleverness, and unexpected uses of words and phrases, and word-play all get extra points from me. Not saying that the music not important, but I love it when an album delivers on both fronts.

Band of my heart. :)

Your icon! "What? WHAT? I can't hear you because the band I'm in is TOO FUCKING LOUD!" I can hear Gerard saying it, and can even hear Bob's drums. Now remind me where that's from?

YES INDEED. I am EXACTLY the same way--I love a lot of bands that only have one or the other, but bands that have BOTH have my heart, and there are precious few of those.

My icon is a quote from the Hoboken show on TBPID. I love it so! ♥

Lovely icon! Love Gerard's hand on Frank's arm and the way Frank is leaning into him. And I know it's from the end of Venom, also from the Hoboken show, because I've just watched it in yekith's most recent MCR post. *g*
