I'm Not Okay (I Promise)

by

My Chemical Romance

Edit

This great single CD was taken from my all time favorite album "Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge", released in June of 2004. Anyway, this single CD is awesome and I'll give all three tracks a review:

I'm Not Okay (I Promise)- This song is insane. I remember watching MTV2 as a 13 year old in summer 2004 and this video coming on and I was amazed! This is the first of now three singles from 'Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge' and is ultimately the most popular of the three. I love this song, and I probably always will. If you've gone through a recent break up or like someone alot this will appeal to you as it did me.

You Know What They Do To Guys Like Us In Prison (Live)- Awesome! If I had the insanely hard decision of picking a favorite song on 'Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge', this would be somewhere in the top 3. Cap some insane guitars, with quite possibly the best intro ever, and you've got an awesome song. You can also hear Bert McCracken from The Used scream with Gerard on this song (on the original version).

I'm Not Okay (I Promise) [Live At MTV2's $2 Bill]- Another insane song (The Amazon description is wrong, it's $2 Bill not $3 bill; I know I watched this back in March of 2005)! This is quite possibly the best live band I've ever heard, because they get the crowd with so much energy, and their songs sound close to what they do on the original record. Though I do prefer the original version, this version is great as well.

Like I said, this single CD is great. If you like this, definitely pick up 'Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge', if you haven't already. Also, on March 21, My Chemical Romance comes out with 'Life On The Murder Scene', which is a documentary/Live CD, including live versions of "I'm Not Okay (I Promise), "Thank You For The Venom", and "Helena", each with a 'making-of' of each. THEN, if you like those two, MCR is scheduled to release a third studio album at some point of this year. So, as a footnote I'll say 'Three Cheers For The Best Band Ever!'!
