I had to buy this album twice. The first was warped by my three year old. Anyway, this special edition vinyl version doesn't sound to good. I think they just ripped the digital and not the master tapes. The Black Parade sounded fantastic, Three Cheers not so much. It's a shame too because I like this album so much more. The extra stuff that comes with it ain't too shabby either. I give this a 4 star because the music is fantastic, but it loses a star for the sound quality.
