Calling everyone who likes D&D, Audrey Hepburn, Fangoria, Harry Houdini, and croquet. You may not have made it, but now you can once again drown your sorrows with some good old fashioned My Chemical Romance music. The band just announced a surprise re-release of their seminal 2004 album, Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge, in honor of its 21st anniversary, per NME. Kind of a random milestone to be celebrating, but you won’t catch this writer complaining.

The triple-platinum album has been fully remastered by Grammy Award-winning producer Rich Costey. But that’s not all: the release also comes with four bonus tracks that were recorded live in 2005 for BBC Radio 1. With the exception of “You Know What They Do To Guys Like Us In Prison,” which was previously released as a B-side to the limited edition U.K. CD of “I’m Not Okay (I Promise)”—meaning it’s pretty safe to assume U.S. fans have never heard it before—the other three tracks, “I’m Not Okay,” “Helena,” and “The Ghost Of You,” have been kept in the vault all this time. 

In celebration of the announcement, the band released the new-old version of “I’m Not Okay (I Promise)” a bit early. Trust us: it’s okay. Check it out below:

The Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge deluxe edition will be released on June 6—just one month before the band embarks on their sold-out, multi-city The Black Parade reunion tour. Thankfully, MCR seems to have realized that things really are better if they stay.
