MCR - Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge (2025 Mix) Technical Review

Your favorite nerdy audiophile trans girl is back, this time with strong opinions yet again. If you don't know already, MCR has recently remixed their iconic 2004 album Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge. Now while MCR is my favorite band of all time, out of the first 3 albums this is probably my least favorite. I however was excited at the prospect of this getting a remix as it had the opportunity to fix one of Three Cheers' biggest problem, Dynamics. The original mix of this album suffered the worst out of the 2000s era of loudness war.

Emo isn't really a audiophile genre but Three Cheers is an especially poorly mixed album even for MCR, with virtually no dynamic high or low end. It leads to album that sounds flat, loud, and uninteresting. So I got pretty excited to hear they could possibly fix this issue, but when I woke up this morning I was very disappointed.

Note: I am listening to this early as it dropped on Tidal and Apple Music Australia early yesterday and someone ripped it and uploaded it to Soulseek, This doesn't release until June in the US. So if any mix changes are made for the US release, i will update this post.

Let's start with the biggest and probably only real improvement, This remix is now in 24-bit 96kHz, which leads to the album sounding cleaner than the original, which was 16/44. However other than that, I find this remix extremely perplexing.

It's a very much a revisionist mix, There's a lot of different sounding filters and effects compared to the original mix. Most noticeably, the opening of "It's Not a Fashion Statement, It's a Fucking Deathwish" which now has a more bassy sound and doesn't just use the left channel, reverb is added to the right channel.

Personally I don't mind revisionism if it's done well and I'd say it is done well here but it really comes off they spent more time changing elements of songs than providing them in a mix that sounds decent. Largey the loudness issues that plagued the original are still present and even worsen in some songs

and for some strange reason they limited the interlude

Not only does it make the already aggravating listen that is Three Cheers even more aggravating. It's just embarrassing that a mix like this is even allowed to be released in a era like this. With hearing loss on a rise you'd think we'd be more cautious about stuff like this. I for one love would love to hear a quiter, more dynamic mix of this album, There's a lot of little parts of these songs that get drowned out by the overwhelming loudness. Not to mention hearing Gerard's amazing vocals with more dynamics would be so nice.

As a Deluxe Edition, this also kinda sucks. There's no demos or b-sides included like that were present on The Black Parade's anniversary re-issue. The only bonus content here is a bunch of old live recordings. I would've loved to see the demos of this album since stuff like Bury Me in Black (available on Life on the Murder Scene) is some good shit.

Overall, Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge's new mix is a massive missed opportunity on top of lousy deluxe extras. I wouldn't say avoid this mix as I do think it does sounds better from a technical standpoint (that being 24/96) but it's just such a disappointment from what could've been.

Final Score: 47/100

What the new signs and sigils in volume 12 probably do.

I can’t thank the WHA community enough for helping me with translating the spell info on volume 12’s bonus page. As of now, 7 people have sent and/or shared translations with me, and having so many sources to draw from really helped me to draw some meaningful conclusions. Here are my findings.

Findings From the Vapor Bubble

The sign underlined in blue had the same translation every time - "cooling.” It likely does exactly what the name implies; cooling stuff down. We'll just call it a cooling sign. I cannot tell you how long the spellmaking side of the fandom has been waiting for a canon way to make ice spells, and we FINALLY HAVE ONE!

Next, we have the sign underlined in red, which I got a few different translations for, including “gathering,” “collection,” and “assembly.” Based on these translations and the spell’s behavior/structure, it is likely that this sign allows spells to pull in and gather material from the surrounding area for the spell to then manipulate. I’ll be referring to it as a gather sign. Gather seems to share many similarities with collection, but gather's ability to pull in nearby material sets them apart, as collection can only absorb material either in contact with or very close to the spell.

Findings From the Pegasus Carriage

An important thing to note before we begin is that the pegasus carriage spell was first shown in Chap 1. Oftentimes, the closer you get to the start of WHA, the less ironed-out and consistent the magic system becomes. Many, MANY spells from the first 2 volumes (especially Vol 1) were retconned, changed, or replaced later on in the story. This spell is a great example of this.

We'll start off with the sigil underlined in green, which was consistently translated as being a "wind" sigil. We actually already knew prior to this that it behaves very similarly to a typical wind sigil based on its behavior in Chap 1, the only chapter it was ever shown in. Within this chapter, it was drawn on both the pegasus carriage and on Qifrey's sylph shoes. By Chap 3, Pg 2, the modern wind sigil had made its first appearance, and by Chap 4, Pg 2, the sylph shoe spell was changed to its modern form, directly retconning this sigil's inclusion within the spell. For all intents and purposes, the sigil seemed retconned, until now. I am unsure why Shirahama chose to bring this sigil back, but I doubt we'll be seeing it anytime soon. Let's call it the old wind sigil.

Next up we have the sign underlined in yellow, which was always translated as "gas." Literally no one knows what this is supposed to mean. However, we actually know this sign and its effects, as it is part of the wind sigil. When wind sigils have this bad boy (which we'll call gas), it makes them manipulate the air nearby. Aeroform sigils have a different sign in place of gas which makes them generate air instead.

Next up we have the sign underlined in purple, which was translated as "whirlwind." It made it's only appearance on the pegasus carriage Chap 1, and appears to be made of modified old wind sigils. That is literally all I know about it. It makes spinning air, I guess? I have zero evidence for this outside the name, so I'll just call it whirlwind. This one gets a big fat IDK.

Next we have the sigil underlined in blue, Wind Underfoot (it already had a name). We already suspected that it creates a wind platform below the spell capable of supporting weight, and all the translations we got (“wind with a foothold seal,” “scaffold-like wind,” and “underfoot wind”) seem to support this idea.

Lastly, we have the two glyphs underlined in red (which do the same thing), translated as "stabilize" and "balance." You might notice that both are float signs. Why would a float sign "stabilize?" Well, after going over it with three of my fellow magic system "experts," we managed to figure it out. Previously, we thought that what float did was make things ignore gravity, but this isn't the case. Instead, float causes the spell and what it manipulates to try and maintain or "stabilize" it's current altitude. We aren't sure weather this is in relation to absolute altitude or the surface below the object or spell, but the idea holds true for the floatglow lamp spell, the carriage spell, and the spell that Beldaruit used to dig up the ground that one time (it's a spoiler if I detail any more). If the official release of Vol 12 matches the translations, we may just have to rewrite everything we know about this sign.

I'm not even done with this post, I still have two more spells to go over, but at this point I've been writing for over an hour. I'll come back to this later and complete it.

I am rewatching Fantasy High sophomore year, and while I do really love the like emotional storytelling, my actual favorite moments are the very technical speak about magic. Particularly every interaction with Ayda and Adaine where Brennan and Siobhan get into very technical magic jargon. Like as a neurodivergent person and an engineer it really scratches that itch in my brain that is like “I need to understand how this thing works and what it does.” As well as the “This is how I, as an autistic with ADHD, talk to my friends about very weird like physics meets metaphysical stuff like how we can’t see the entire spectrum of light but we know it’s there, and similarly we can’t sense past 3 dimensions but we know more are possible. By that logic it would be entirely reasonable that something like a ‘biblically accurate angel’ would be insane to look at and have a million eyes if it exists in more dimensions than we naturally perceive.”

I can’t find ANYTHING about Francisco Soria Aedo’s paintings???

Yoooo I am trying to an essay about him but I can’t find anything about his paintings beside their names and when they’re made. I want to know what they are about and with what technic they made with. Everyone seem to like the artist very much but there is nearly nothing about him on the internet. There is no books, no essays about him anywhere. I am going insane. 

Btw this is the guy. (and yes, I tried to find this account and it was empty)

How DLT is Changing the Way We Vote: A Look at Digital Voting Systems

Voting is a fundamental right in democratic societies. However, traditional voting systems have been plagued by issues such as voter fraud, low voter turnout, and long wait times. With the emergence of Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT), also known as blockchain technology, there is a growing interest in digital voting systems. In this blog post, we will explore how DLT is changing the way we vote and the potential benefits and challenges of digital voting systems.

What is DLT?

Before we dive into how DLT is changing the way we vote, let's first define what DLT is. DLT is a type of database distributed across a computer network. Each computer in the network has a copy of the database, and any changes to the database are recorded in a transparent and immutable way. This means that once data is recorded on the blockchain, it cannot be altered or deleted.

How DLT is Changing the Way We Vote

Digital voting systems that utilize DLT have the potential to revolutionize the way we vote. Here are some of the ways that DLT is changing the way we vote:

Increased Transparency and Security

One of the most significant benefits of digital voting systems that use DLT is increased transparency and security. DLT provides a secure and transparent platform for recording and counting votes. Each vote is recorded on the blockchain, and once recorded, it cannot be altered or deleted. This ensures that the voting process is secure and transparent, and it helps prevent voter fraud.

Increased Accessibility

Digital voting systems that use DLT can also increase accessibility. Traditional voting systems often require voters to be physically present at a polling station, which can be challenging for people with disabilities or those who live in remote areas. Digital voting systems can allow voters to cast their votes from anywhere, using a computer or mobile device. This can help increase voter turnout and make it easier for people to exercise their right to vote.

Increased Efficiency

Digital voting systems that use DLT can also increase efficiency. Traditional voting systems can be time-consuming and expensive to administer. Digital voting systems can automate many of the processes involved in voting, such as voter registration, ballot counting, and result reporting. This can help reduce the cost and time required to administer elections.

Potential Challenges

While digital voting systems that use DLT offer many potential benefits, some challenges need to be addressed. Here are some of the potential challenges:

Technical Challenges

Digital voting systems that use DLT require a high level of technical expertise to develop and maintain. This can be a challenge for some election authorities, especially those in developing countries or those with limited resources.

Security Concerns

While DLT provides a secure platform for recording and counting votes, there are still security concerns that need to be addressed. Hackers could potentially compromise the voting system, which could lead to voter fraud or other security breaches.

Privacy Concerns

Digital voting systems that use DLT also raise privacy concerns. Voters must be assured that their votes are anonymous and that their personal information is protected.

Conclusion

Digital voting systems that use DLT have the potential to revolutionize the way we vote. They offer increased transparency, security, accessibility, and efficiency. However, there are also potential challenges that need to be addressed. As DLT continues to evolve, we can expect to see more innovative digital voting systems emerge in the future.

American Football - LP1 Technical Analysis

(and the how the Remaster fucked up - Part 2)

2nd part to my technical analysis of American Football LP1, read Part 1 here as it's essential to understanding, also because I'll be pickup directly where i left off

anyways let's jump back into it

2024 Remaster (Digital)

As this remaster usually does, this track sounds like mud now. It takes everything wrong with the digital master and amplifies it to make it even more grating to listen to. This one upsets me yet again as I love this song and seeing it slaughtered like this is extremely sad

Track 9 - The One With The Wurlitzer

Vinyl Pressing

Beautiful rendering of this song. It's got all the warmth and smoothness to compliment this song very well, no complaints other than the capture i have being very noisy during this track.

Digital Download

This is one is so close to being right but like this master tends to do it just kinda shits the bed and all the warmth is gone, It's also another song that shouldn't be this loud. Not awful and I certainly don't mind it but it irritates me to no end that it's so close to being good.

2024 Remaster (Digital)

Piss, there's no other word for it. If i thought the digital master shat the bed, this one broke the bed. No depth, no warmth, no smoothness, it's got a sharp edge this song doesn't need and like you're listening to a shitty recorded demo with bad EQ. Really bad.

Final Thoughts

So I guess as you very clearly picked up on, I'm not too fond of this remaster. It upsets me that a remaster of an album I love so dearly was treated with very little care from anyone involved, It turns one of the most beautiful and lush emo rock albums and turns into nothing but mushy blocks of noise with no cohesion or direction.

With that said, however, what version I do recommend you listen to? If you have the proper amplifier and setup, I highly recommend the vinyl pressing. It's dynamic range and lushness is unmatched and truly brings out the beauty of the album. The digital master (available on streaming and CD) is a very mixed bag, It's certainly miles better than the remaster but it too kills a lot of the things that make the album beautiful, Certainly listenable but an uninteresting and uninvolved listen. Avoid the Remaster at all costs, It's the worst way to listen to this album.

I hope you have enjoyed my extremely exhausting deep dive into this album's sound quality, I had a lot of fun writing these and hope to do more sometime soon. This has been Izzy, signing off

Special Thanks

golok on Soulseek for uploading their wonderful 24/96 Vinyl capture of this album (used in this analysis)

Dynamic Range DB for helping me find out about the vinyl mix, if you are curious about your CDs check it out

and You for reading this, thank you
