    Hoping it's better than Is This Thing Cursed?

    Highly disagree. Maybe I need to give it another go but I was completely underwhelmed but if we are being honest - I've been underwhelmed (to some degree and it varies with each record) with everything post-Crimson.

    Skiba is a nazi sympathizer who has graduated from featuring them on his songs to reading primary sources of white supremacist ideology.

    I like a few songs off Shame and I do like Broken Wings too. I just don’t see them as top tier ALK3 personally.
     
  16. yeah, the two newest albums, crimson, and infirmary are my main squeezes.

    No he's not...... If we got pegged as being aligned with every book we've ever read then we'd all be in trouble. I don't defend the friendship and feature of Douglas Pearce (though I don't believe they still communicate), but if you're referring to the Instagram post with Might is Right then I do t really know what to say. You can read a book and disagree with every ideal it contains.

    he also was using nazi imagery for his promotion. and his aggressive defense of Asia Argentino is gross.

    Niiiice. I would say Infirmary, Mourning, Crimson, and Maybe I’ll Catch Fire are my favorite records. Such a hot take, I know lol

    Surprising you didn't like Is This Thing Cursed then. I am definitely an older fan -- Goddamnit, Good Mourning, and FHTI are my top 3. I didn't like Agony & Irony, This Addiction, or My Shame is True all that much (Though I did enjoy Broken Wing). I thought ITTC was an organic return to form (unlike TA, which was an overreaction to the A&I backlash).

    Wow... Is This Thing Cursed is their best album since Crinsom. It was a big surprise for me since I was expecting Skiba's efforts were all focused on blink-182
