Ah man I was worried no one would get the joke lol

 

Remember that Rank Your Records Matt did a few years ago where he STILL says “man I’m glad I’m not in a band with that guy”?

 

I would absolutely hate it any other time but damn it does Skiba make the silly stuff work lol

 

I believe Matt said the same thing about Glenn as well

 

I've been listening to this...a lot...and so I am at the stage where smaller details hype me up.

Like, I love that little "hey!" in Matt's bridge on Version of You.

This is SOOOOO good. Damn it.

 

*Goddamnit

 

"screaming goddamnit, I cannot get enough"

 

Matt's verses on Shake With Me are up there with my favorite vocals of his ever

 

Hot For Preacher and Broken Down In A Time Machine are easily at the top of the list as far as songs by the boys. Hot For Preacher needs to be the opener on this tour.

 

This is my favorite of theirs in a long time. I do think it’s a tad backloaded though. Which is surprising. Record really takes off for me from “Break” on, even though I think “Bad Time” is so good.

 

I think the run from Hot for Preacher thru Teenage Heart is my favorite.

 

I still think ITTC is slightly better (prob my favorite album of their) but they are both up there for me.

You can’t beat album with ITTC?,Deamon&Division and Sweet Vampires on

 

This is my favorite AP/Chorus tradition

 

Break reminds me a ton of throw me to the lions from ITTC. Almost too much…but I love both.

 

throw me to the lions is the most underrated trio song in a long time

 

Cool interviews!

10 Post-Punk Albums Alkaline Trio's Matt Skiba Thinks Every Music Fan Should Own

 

the way Dan's voice goes up for "sometimes it works in REVERSE" is just audio crack to me. could listen to it forever

 

when the Dan B-Sides drop, every album gets better

 

Also Hot For Preacher reminds me so much of playing Carmageddon 2 which had a heavy Iron Maiden soundtrack, which coincidentally was my introduction to Iron Maiden lol

 

I remember the first one being like exclusively Fear Factory songs.

 

Urban Outfitters came, supposed to be bone with the black but somebody goofed and used clear lol. I'm fine with it though?

 

Looks good to me!

 

this is a much better outcome because a bone/white opaque base would've washed out the black blob.
