''Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge'' is the second studio album by American alternative rock band Music/MyChemicalRomance, released June 8, 2004. It's a ConceptAlbum that chronicles a relationship between a man and woman, [[StarCrossedLovers who are separated by death]]. In order to be with his lover, the man makes a [[DealWithTheDevil deal with the devil]]. However, there is a catch: [[RoaringRampageofRevenge the man must kill a thousand evil souls]]. %%At the end of his killing spree, he realizes that the last evil soul was himself. He has no choice but to [[DriventoSuicide kill himself]], becoming separated from his lover once again.%%

* RoaringRampageofRevenge: The concept of the album.

* WarIsHell: "Ghost of You."

* [[spoiler:LastSurvivorSuicide: The man after fulfilling most of his quest.]]

** First in "You Know What They Do..." as the protagonist loses his mind in prison:

** "It's Not a Fashion Statement, It's a Deathwish" (the regular title) is likely a result of this, considering the song is sometimes written as "It's Not a Fashion Statement, It's a Fucking Deathwish".

* BreakingPointSwearing: There is little swearing on this album, despite the Parental Advisory warning, but the only two uses of "fuck" stand out:
** First in "You Know What They Do..." as the protagonist loses his mind in prison:
--> "Do you have the keys to the hotel? 'Cause I'm gonna string this motherfucker on fire! Fire!"
** The album version of "I'm Not Okay" adds an extra punch to those who first heard the single version that was used in the video, showing that the protagonist is nonetheless "really not okay":
--> "I'm not okay, I'm not o-fucking-kay!"

* BloodSplatteredWeddingDress: The woman in the cover wears this. It's a lot easier to tell that it's a wedding dress on the version of ''Life on the Murder Scene''.
