Live version of Helena is out now

 

4K music video of it has been updated on YouTube too (unless that's been there a while and I missed it)

 

Just send my best friends the "you boys like Mexico" clip from Super Troopers to drop the subtle hint that we should go to this show.

 

That show will be insane.

 

Reminds me of this article from 2008 (I did not need to be reminded because I think about the quote below all the time): Anti-Emo riots break out across Mexico – Stilgherrian

"It's a great clusterfuck for the American mind's idea of Mexico," Arellano said. "This teaches the rest of the world that Mexico is not just a bunch of cactuses and sombreros."

 

Record store near me got it in early and I picked it up

 

Hell yeah

 

beautiful variant

 

Update now that it's actually out: I still like this remix/remaster

 

Also, relevant (Gerard Way voice trust me) plug that I promise I will not do again in this thread, @troyplaysbass and I just talked about Three Cheers and the reissue on our podcast: My Chemical Romance - Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge | Noise Floor

 

Man, this sounds...pretty great? Also very tempted to pick up that indie variant today...

 

I like the remaster too! It's a bit jarring in some sections of the songs after hearing the original mix for so many years, but this gives the record a whole new shelf life. I plan to do a full article diving into all the key similarities and differences next week.

 

I don’t believe that all the vocals are from 2005. Sounds like Gerard in 2024 in a few spots.

 

Yeah I thought most of this sounds great. Some of it is kind of weird, Give Em Hell Kid in particular was one that didn’t land for me but overall I appreciate this release

 

The new Give em Hell Kid is the one I can’t get behind. The bass at the beginning is a completely different take, the “Apple Music” version shouting in in the intro, and the levels across the board just sound jarring. Everything else on the remaster sounds fuller and richer to me, but Give em Hell just feels off.

 

I had I’m Not Okay stuck in my head out of nowhere yesterday and now this thread is bumped for me. It’s a sign.

 

Man, remember when we all thought we were getting a new album? Good times.

 

Helena was roughly the same but I def prefer the original. Give Em Hell Kid is clearly worse wow

 

I think Give Em Hell Kid sounds better

 

The change in tone of the intro is just an instant nope for me

 

Has anyone else noticed that this mix is kind of quiet? If I put another album on right after, the volume goes up like crazy. I have to turn my speakers up to max listening to the new mix in Apple Music on my Mac

 

Do you have Atmos turned on? Significant volume difference between them if on in my experience.

 

i thought Atmos only applied to albums with Atmos mixes in the Apple Music desktop app, and the new version of Three Cheers is just in stereo. unless setting Atmos to Always On just adds an unintended equalizer to stereo tracks?

 

Ah yep I had atmos on Automatic. Turning it off gave a significant volume boost. That and playing with the sound check toggle.

Also didn't realize that lossless is disabled by default! Glad I checked settings!
