I’m starting to think Alkaline Trio dropped their song yesterday to ride some of the blink hype. Genius if true.
I was in the same boat. Their last 2 releases with Tom were, for me, nowhere near the level of nearly everything that came before, and the overwhelming majority of AVA’s catalogue does nothing for me.
Was not expecting an interlude to be that good. Love the hint of AVA. Album rules. I’d say it leans more towards Untitled than TOYPAJ, but it’s really its own thing. Blown away.
I’ve got a long flight in the morning and would love some new stuff to listen to. If anyone has the time to reach out ... ha ha
You get through the first half of this album and think, “wow they crushed it how could it get better?” Then it does haha
So far after 5 listens my ranking looks like this : Tier 1 More Than You Know Anthem Part 3 Dance With Me Bad News Tier 2 Turpentine Blink Wave Other Side Edging Terrified Tier 3 Turn This Off Shit Face When We Were Young Fell In Love You Don’t Know What You Got Childhood Tier 4 One More Time Tier 5 Hurt
Fell In Love is great. Chorus is so catchy. Sure it's one of the "weaker" songs on the album but I really like it.
I wonder if they add any more new songs to their set this weekend in vegas? Could you imagine if they play Anthem Pt 2 into Pt 3? Bonkers.
Terrified holy shit hahah This record is fantastic so far. Had my jaw dropped the second Anthem pt 3 started
gotta love the times in a chorus form when you can just hit refresh every 10 seconds and there's more to read and respond to.
