Alkaline Trio Band • Page 33

A&I has Do You Wanna Know so it's a winner in my book.

 

Yeah the only album I don't really care much for is "This Addiction" and even that has "The American Scream"

 

I find it to be very disappointing in comparasion to their work prior to Derek's inclusion to the band. It has a few solid jams on it, sure, but it is nowhere near as good as MICF or FHTI. Plus it was the beginning of their goofy goth image.

 

This Addiction has like three solid songs and two of which are on a 7-inch you can find.

 

While I'm on a roll, Dan is the best songwriter in the band.

 

And he's the most consistent.

 

I love Dan but much prefer Matt's vocals. Damn we need some new Trio.

 

Really hope something surfaces next year

 

Is the plan still Blink right now and getting that album done and out? Has Matt said anything about Trio studio time,writing or anything?

 

Just put out an EP and do a small US tour so we know you're still alive!

 

Yeah agree with This Addiction and Agony & Irony being their weak points. Especially following Crimson, I expected more from A&I

 

Can we all agree that "Lead Poisoning" is the worst Alk3 song?

 

It's up there.

Also, as lackluster as This Addiction was, I love "Fine". I think it's a great closer in an otherwise just okay album.

 

Over and Out might be my least fav. Lost and Rendered is up there too.

 

Fine is definitely one of my favorite Dan songs. Off the Map is great too.

 

Lead Poisoning is my favorite on Addiction. Top 5 songs I don't really care for at all are American Scream, Draculina, Piss and Vinegar, Into The Night, and Love Love Kiss Kiss

 

Live young die fast is the worst song by far

 

I've always thought Into the Night was super underrated actually

 

Something about it just reminds me too much of Private Eye idk lol

I do however love the acoustic one with Dan singing

 

To me the song is okay, but I expected more out of the closer. It wasn't a strong closer for me. That's the other weak part of that album, IMO, that keeps it from getting on par with GM with me or being a clear favorite over FHTI and MSIT.

I know they've fallen into the closing every other album routine and Dan had just closed out Crimson, but In My Stomach needed to be the end of that album

 

Easily

 

Last update at the beginning of the last blink tour was that blink was planning to head back into the studio by the end of the year to record a new album. Nothing new on anything Trio wise.

 

Agreed 100%

 

But, but, but....Burned is the House!!! Probably one of their best songs IMO. I love the production as well as Dan's lyrics. (same goes for "Fine," which is like a warm hug)

 

I like Agony & Irony. I get what they were going for, but I do question the direction in general, doesn't seem like the sort of thing I would think the average Alk3 fan would embrace.
