Alkaline Trio - Blood, Hair and Eyeballs (January 26, 2024) • Page 44

the "SOS OS OS OS, oh yes" part in Meet Me kinda lives rent-free for me. it's so damn catchy

 

The merch for this album rules. I got the eyeball shirt, but would honestly wear any of the other shirts they made for it.

 

Was gonna hold off on merch until I see them on 3/16 and make a game day decision.

 

Yeah to echo everyone's sentiment, that tour was insane. Most importantly I had never heard of Gaslight before and my life changed that night lol

 

That tour looked nuts. That’s certainly one of those “wish I was old enough to go” sort of things for me.

They should do it again…

one minute album on the skins

 

Always been a super casual fan of the band but damn I’ve just had this on repeat since it’s come out. Since I heard Bad Time really. And now I just wanna dive back in to everything else

 

Meet Me is one my favorite songs from the record, I love the dancy vibe it has all over it

 

SOS OS OS OS…OH YES

 

Dan is practicing:
Hot For Preacher, Break, Burned Is The House

 

HFP will rip live. Great candidate for the opener. This album is only getting better on repeat listens. so strong front to back.

 

Burned Is the House?? Shiiiiiii

 

Yeah that’ll be crazy if they play burned is the house. Wonder if they’ll be switching it up a bunch

 

Has the band ever played it? I thought they did. Im pretty sure I’ve seen Dan play it solo

 

Wild seeing the bass parts to Burned Is the House…such a great bass player.

 

Played twice according to setlist.fm, but obviously that's not always accurate. Once in 2011, again in 2012

 

yeah he was doing some stuff there that makes me need to go back and listen to the song because I didn’t realize that was happening with the bass at some of those parts

 

He played it with Dan Andriano in the Emergency Room on tour a few years back with Derek on drums…so kind of Trio lol

 

I've FINALLY gotten around to giving this the attention that I wanted to give it and the music is great, I really love how they're changing it up and going for some more complex arrangements, it really works for them. Super catchy songs like always too

I know I'm far from the first person to mention this though but I can't get past the mixing on some songs, I really wish it was less muddy at points. I've only listened in full three times so maybe it'll grow on me. Overall I'm super happy with this and can't wait to see them again

 

I take it back, Meet Me is solid. Took me a minute tho

 

committing to the idea that "i don't like it" and "it's not good" are interchangeable online is among the best things i've ever done for my mental health lol

 

Meet me is definitely my least favorite song on the album and I think it suffers from being track 2. Generally their albums have more of a banger for lack of a better word as song 2 and meet me is relatively sleepy compared to a lot of the album in my opinion

 

I was listening yesterday and think the title track would be a great track 2

 

Yoo we better get Old School Reasons on this tour. My old ass wants to jump around

 

Suggesting altering the tracklist of this album is blasphemy
