Alkaline Trio - Blood, Hair and Eyeballs (January 26, 2024) • Page 37

Fire Down Below not being on actual tracklist is pure crime

 

Anyone have a list or know where to find one of all their B-Sides? All my google searches just kick back to Remains, but i'm looking for anything outside of that obviously.

 

Off the top of my head, post-Remains, and. Not counting covers/acoustic versions….

Burned Is The House
In My Stomach
Fire Down Below
Kick Rocks
Those Lungs
Balanced on a Shelf
Pocket Knife
Broken Wing
Sun Burns

Then there’s the EP titled “EP” they released during the pandemic that was Mind Like Minefields, Radio Violence, and Smokestack.

and that’s pretty much it. Everything else was included on remains or self titled, officially.

unofficially there are a few Good Mourning unused demos out there, and the song Song For Julie as well.

 

Thank you!

 

Scars thru Blood, Hair and Eyeballs is such a good run

 

1. Scars
2. Shake With Me
3. Broken Down in a Time Machine
4. Bad Time
5. Teenage Heart
6. Blood, Hair, and Eyeballs
7.Break
8. Versions of You
9. Hinterlude (idk I love this even though it's an interlude)
10. Meet Me
11. Hot for Preacher

Honestly, I like the first two songs but I love everything else. What a hell of an album, definitely their best since Crimson and that is not something I was expecting to say in 2024 lol

 

my first thought was "man that tracklisting makes 0 sense"

 

Hinterlude over any actual song on this that you don’t actively hate is kind of wild, but I respect it lol

 

Thank you lol, idk I just really am into it haha

 

Not enough talk about Akaline Trio being sell outs for being on The Hill and having their songs in The OC and Scream 5. Not punk imo.

 

It would've been funny if Matt had ended up on Kourtney's show via blink and been on a very exclusive list of people to be on The Hills and Kardashians lol

 

Travis was on Laguna Beach, but I guess that technically wouldn’t count.

 

I wish their cover of Halloween was streaming.

 

yeah that is an awesome cover

 

I forgot about Halloween lol. I have it somewhere on my still functioning iPod Nano from like 2007 lol. With all the other Blood Pact stuff

 

Gave this album a rest for a day and came back to it and think I like it more than I did before.

 

Hot For Preacher is so damn good. Already some of my favorite Skiba lyrics.

 

Is that you, Mike?

 

I've settled on this album being pretty good, but not necessarily top tier.

 

Idk why but I love when he sings the boohoo lol

 

Also I really love Scars

 

This has basically been on repeat all week. Now if only my record would get here...

 

Haha the boohoo is great

 

"You traded in your leather for a denim and a polaroid. Put it up for sale in the mail for your brand new boy" is such a catchy bridge. I can't get it out of my head.

 

It might be the most catchy thing Matt has written. That bridge and Dan’s bridge on Shake With Me are two of the highlights of the album.
