I think MCR are pretty great, and Gerard is a great singer. They didn't need to obliterate the mix like that. I really like loud mixes and I'm not usually offended with L2 and distortion, but they went a little far on "Three Cheers...". The vocal is burried, and it distorts when he sings loud, and you can barely hear the drums. It sounds to me like they slammed the mix too loud into the console with all of the faders pegged, then L2'd it.

A similar effect probably could be had by going out of the box into a pair of 1272's or a Fatso or HEDD and over slamming the audio into it.
