Alkaline Trio - Blood, Hair and Eyeballs (January 26, 2024) • Page 22

technically yes but there's quite a bit of back and forth on other songs in really gratifying ways. it actually feels... collaborative not like This Addiction where Matt's songs are just drowning out Danny's

 

Awesome, I always wished they would make more use of the dual vocals thing instead of just doing "Matt songs" and "Dan songs" so that sounds very promising

 

you'll love this album then haha. feels like the most they wrote together since Good Mourning maybe? and all three full Dan songs are heaters

 

Yea album is pure fire

 

Haven’t listened yet, but Skiba is the latest guest on Toby Morse’s podcast.

 

Those guys are BFFs. I haven’t listened to Toby’s pod yet, but I bet that’ll be a fun episode

 

Alkaline Trio talk “apocalyptic” new album ‘Blood, Hair And Eyeballs’: “Humanity really needs to get its shit together”

 

Nice article. It makes me happy to see that Matt and the Blink guys are still cool

 

"I got used to numbing so comfortably
Wrapped in here with what's on TV
Now I don't dare turn my back
That's when I get attacked
I'm broken down in a time machine"

Gahhh this song rules.

 

It’s time

 

Matt on the One Life One Chance Podcast! Psyched to check it out. Love the Toby interviews.

 

Also my dumbass just realizing the gaps in the X are the bottom of their logo

 

Got my record today too stoked to give it a listen finally!

 

Got my record, this is a fantastic album. No skips. Bummed to see Derek go after this one but what an exit.

 

Ok yea you guys weren’t kidding. Loving every second of this so far, can’t wait to see them in about a month too!

 

My CD came today, popped it in the car while I went to pick up food. Holy shit what an album. They got really interesting with their guitars and bass and it paid off a ton. I'll try and give more complete thoughts after some more listens, but yeah. Not one skip on here for me on initial listen, though I could see one or two songs falling to the wayside for me off the top of my head.

Broken Down in a Time Machine should be the next single/video, I say to myself knowing Dan never gets an actual single/music video. But definitely for my money the catchiest little hook on the album besides the singles already dropped IMO

 

Where's my record?!?!

 

This keeps getting better with every listen. Makes me so happy to enjoy a new alkaline trio album this much. Knew the boys still had this in them.

 

Ya know I somehow saw the bottom but not the top one. Nice.

 

seems like most of you have this now so, am I the only one who thinks Matt sounds so much like Dan when he sings "and the rain will come and wash out every place we go" on Shake With Me?

 

This album is amazing!!! So happy to have new records from Blink, Green Day and Alk3 that are all so amazing at this point in their careers

And Fall Out Boy comin in with the AOTY last year. What a time to be alive

 

Oh man this vinyl looks great

 

One of my pre-orders should be here tomorrow, and the other hopefully by Friday.

Halfway through this while I cook a pot of hot, homemade chicken noodle soup to combat the Chicago cold and absolutely loving it.
