Alkaline Trio Band • Page 149

I just checked, and it's only the 'Past Live' version that is up.

 

Just noticed he's in the UK

 

Also why is the Agony & Irony vinyl so expensive?

 

It's probably the deluxe edition with all of the bonus material.

 

Speaking of A&I I think Into The Night is the bands weakest closer on an album.

 

Also, I think Dorothy is a underrated Matt tune.

 

Agreed. My fav closer is probably Crawl or Fine, tbh. I think this band has much stronger openers.

 

I love that track, hell there's some great tunes on Agony and Irony, but overall it just doesn't flow. The same could be said for This Addiction, with songs like Dine Dine My Darling, American Scream and Draculina. I think Fine is one of their best closers next to Crawl.

 

Fine is my favorite closer, eventough I think Radio is still a classic. You know it's funny, Dan's version of Into The Night is great though.

 

Does anyone on here collect bootleg recordings? I'd be interested to hear any from between 2002 and 2005 if anyone has any? Thanks.

 

Absolutely, it's weird because both albums still have great songs on them as well.

 

My buddy might have them still from when the bloodpact was still around.

 

Ah that would be amazing if you could ask? Thank you.

 

I forgot I liked Smoke a lot too.

Fav openers? I mean, they have an incredible run until like This Addiction haha. I like the title track fine, but it's not my favorite.

 

I feel like My Shame Is True has been their most consistent since Crimson in my opinion.

 

Absolutely ! I know he definitely has a bootleg of them playing Donor Party before Good Mourning came out.

 

I feel like Is This Thing Cursed ? Is a top tier opener, so is Calling All Skeletons. And yes, Smoke is great.

 

I love Smoke, but I feel like Your Neck would have been better as a closer.

This Could Be Love, and Private Eye are two of my favourites.

Also, what are people's thoughts on the track 'Balanced On A Shelf'?

 

Thank you :).

 

Balanced On A Shelf is top tier Dan imo, but the entire Broken Wing EP is top notch.

 

Balanced On a Shelf is my favorite song on the EP!

 

I just wanna say Derek also has solo stuff, and it's so good.

 

I still have all the Blood Pact stuff on an iPod Nano from like 2007. Forever trapped on there, still works at least lol

 

agree with this. Into the Night is a good song but not a closer IMO. In my stomach should have made it to be the closer, though at that point it seemed they didn’t want to mess with their alternating dan/Matt closer songs haha
