Alkaline Trio - Is This Thing Cursed? (August 31, 2018) Album • Page 4

This would’ve been a great Friday the 13th news post

 

so much new stuff came out today but this. I am here for this

 

Interpunk pre-order link's gone down, is it the same for y'all over in America?

also, I'm extremely bored so random guesses as to which songs are whose:


1 Is This Thing Cursed? (Matt)
2 Blackbird (Matt)
3 Demon and Division (Dan)
4 Little Help (Matt)
5 I Can't Believe (Matt)
6 Sweet Vampire (definitely Matt)
7 Pale Blue Ribbon (Dan)
8 Goodbye Fire Island (Matt)
9 Stay (Dan)
10 Heart Attacks (Matt)
11 Worn So Thin (Matt)
12 Throw Me To The Lions (Dan, or maybe a sneaky duet like Back to Hell)
13 Krystalline (Matt)

 

Pretty sure it's Dan's turn to end the album, so I gotta go with the last song being his

 

Yeah they took the listing down. It reads like anybody that already ordered will probably have their preorder canceled

 

I really damn hope so, Only Love should have ended MSIT but alas

edit: and the K instead of a C makes me think it's Matt for sure

 

That chorus fucking rips, I'm so happy about this

 

I would nearly guarantee you get new songs either way

 

This song is pretty great

 

Damn I love this song

 

I really dig this. I haven't heard any of the last two Trio albums but this is great.

 

I'll get in on that action.

1 Is This Thing Cursed? (Matt)
2 Blackbird (Matt)
3 Demon and Division (Dan)
4 Little Help (Matt)
5 I Can't Believe (Dan)
6 Sweet Vampire (Matt)
7 Pale Blue Ribbon (Dan)
8 Goodbye Fire Island (Matt)
9 Stay (Matt)
10 Heart Attacks (Matt)
11 Worn So Thin (Dan)
12 Throw Me To The Lions (Matt)
13 Krystalline (Dan)

 

Holy shit!!!

 

Ugh I'm so god damn happy with this.

 

I'm worried they're somehow unaware of the pattern and it won't happen

 

!!!!!

 

Lol right? There’s no way it could be a coincidence at this point. Don’t ruin the trend, guys!

 

1 Is This Thing Cursed? (Matt)
2 Blackbird (Matt)
3 Demon and Division (Matt)
4 Little Help (Dan)
5 I Can't Believe (Dan)
6 Sweet Vampire (Matt)
7 Pale Blue Ribbon (Dan)
8 Goodbye Fire Island (Matt)
9 Stay (Dan)
10 Heart Attacks (Matt)
11 Worn So Thin (Dan)
12 Throw Me To The Lions (Matt)
13 Krystalline (Dan)

Think we get a fairly evenly split album this time...Matt hasn’t had 3 songs to lead off an album since Goddammit, but demon and division just sounds too much like a Matt title.

Could they do the unthinkable and start the album off with a Dan song? That title could go either way. If that one goes Dan, switch one of the other ones to Matt. Maybe they give Dan the first song and give matt the last song, breaking the long stream of alternateing who ends the album. If that’s the case, I switch dan to throw me to the lions and Matt to worn so thin.


I don’t know why this is so fun to do.

 

god I would love an album with five Dan songs but I just don't see it happening... if only! I still don't think Krystalline will be a Dan song tbh, but Worn So Thin does sound like him now that I think about it

watch and see them throw in a Derek song and fuck us all up haha

 

Perhaps I'm being a little too optimistic, but this could be the time Dan has more than the token four songs on the album.

 

I will say, this is the best first single of a record they're released since Agony & Irony.

 

Holy shitttt was not expecting this so fast.

It’s def because I wore my trio shirt yesterday.

 

I'm going through Matt's IG posts it's funny how he's been posting pictures of Blackbird Jets since March lol.

 

I can't put into words how much I needed this. Forever my all-timers.
