Both.

 

well this is pretty cool.

found a Google drive link if anyone needs.

 

I wouldn't mind a DM

 

Yes please!

 

Also a whole bunch of vinyl pre orders have popped up for this. I think I counted 6 different variants so far. I went with the Amazon one because its the only variant that actually matches the album art colors

This is almost always how I feel with new mixes. If it’s an album I love, my brain gets too attached to the way things are supposed to sound that even if a new mix sounds “better” it usually just doesn’t feel right to me.

full press release: My Chemical Romance Remix ‘Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge’

 

Yes please!!

 

I will always prefer cleaner mixing to the “raw” sound a lot of bands intentionally go for.

 

Do Zoetrope style pressings traditionally sound worse?

 

Howard Benson and Rich Costey not really known for "raw" ... this just sounds more modern, I wouldn't particularly call it better, shaves off some charm of those early 2000's, but it is interesting to hear. Unsure on first listen which one I'll return to more in the future when I reach for the album.

 

need Helena next

 

I am fucking LOVING this new mix

 

Please and thank you.

 

Not that I'm not gonna just pick based on vibes, but does anyone know pressing info for this one?

 

Finished and, man, have conflicted feelings.

The only full remix/remaster I've really liked and go back to instead of the original is the most recent Tell All Your Friends, because I think they actually fixed problems with the original while keeping the youthful feel to it, it sounds better. (Same for those remixed Relient K albums, now that I think about it.)

Almost all the other ones, and the ones that stand out to me are One for the Kids, and this, sound so anachronistic. And it makes me wonder if in 10 years if this pushed up bass/drum style of mixing will seem of a time as well and we'll look back at the original as what it was: perfect 2004 emo.

Probably will spin this a couple more times over the weekend to see how my thoughts shape up for it, but my brain almost always has a hard time with new mixes like this.

 

Yeah those gold editions of Anatomy and Two Lefts were the first ones I heard so the old versions sound a little off to me.

Same with the remastered Bad Religion albums. That’s what was available on CD, so that’s what I’m used to.

I’ll pour one out for the remix of History Books though, I definitely think it helped that album.

 

I'm still working my way through, but anachronistic is probably the key word in this from what I've heard so far, thank you Jason. Some of it just sounds "wrong" as my brain latches onto my first source of a track as the "correct" one. This always makes reissues, remasters, and the like difficult for me.

Everything is very sanitized to my ear thus far. Don't get me wrong, I love clarity and detail in my soundstage, I've spent stupid amounts on gear specifically based on that, but this is like.... I almost want to compare it to putting the album through an AI-based filter to "clean" it somehow. Like everything's been run over with a coat of disinfectant and unfortunately, (like most things from New Jersey, myself included) if you remove all the dirt you remove a lot of the character too.

I think if my goal was to make Three Cheers appeal more to a bunch of younger folk who are going to bump it in their airpods or car stereo, this would be a masterful strategy by which to do it. Or perhaps I have become the old man shaking his fist at the children walking through his grass....

Curious how involved the band was with this release and the choices made.

 

Pretty please. Probably won't be able to listen to it til Sunday but excited to hear this new mix.

 

Why do bands keep doing these reissues without including the few stray tracks from the era? No one really gives a shit about live tracks.

 

Gotta be a mistake, this is also up and available on Deezer in lossless. Looking forward to hearing this when I get a chance.

 

At this point they might as well release it everywhere

 

Would love a Drive DM

 

This sounds incredibly pristine and I love it.

 

Giving some snippets a listen and the drum/bass heavy feel reminds me of the recent Hopesfall remaster. The latter I did find that it made for a better listening experience, even though it lost a bit of that quintessentially early 2000s emo/post-hardcore charm sonically.

Totally see the point that sounding modern =/= better
