Alkaline Trio - Blood, Hair and Eyeballs (January 26, 2024) • Page 27

I’ll likely do the same eventually. I’ve always wanted to try it so see what it’d be like. Wife wasn’t a huge fan of the idea but now she’s on board. All the more reason to try it!

 

going shaved head rules my friends, my confidence went up so much when I went for it

that being said invest in sunscreen lol, getting the chrome dome burned is no good

 

I buzz mine weekly so I've still got a bit of peach fuzz all over, but I need to just go fully shaved.

 

lol I'm a hat guy in the summer because of my thinning.

My confidence is riding high after getting my full chest tattooed at the ripe age of 36.

 

I started losing my hair at like 22 lol. Thankfully I look fine with a shaved head lol

 

I can tell this album leaked several weeks early cuz release day discussion has turned into a balding head support group lol

 

lmao and I didn't listen until today!

 

Shame, Cursed, and this record is a pretty unbelievable trilogy of albums so deep into their career. They have been making it count when they have the itch to put something out.

 

Co-sign. Beyond Bad Religion, I am struggling to think of a comparison where late career work rivals the peaks of some of their best over multiple consecutive records like theirs does.

 

It’s wild that the only album I don’t really connect with at all is This Addiction and that’s 14 years old

 

Did they write a Park song with Meet me? I can’t unhear it.

 

Wait what.

I've never felt older.

 

The record is riffier than the usual Trio stuff, and my operating theory is that Matt learned how to write riffs from playing all of Tom's old riffs. So Tom rubbed off on him in a way. Furthermore, I think Matt also had the following response to the criticism about the lack of riffs on his Blink records, hence this new record.

 

Sorry to dip in and say that I have a full head of hair and so do all of my grandparents. Loving this album.

 

hell yeah brother same

 

it's so fucking good

 

The verses on Scars are my favorite thing on the album as of this moment.

 

Oh shit I forgot it was coming out today!

 

Welcome, how's your hairline?

 

I have excellent hair, sorry

 

There may be less Dan on this record as a whole, but when he's on it's pure gold.

EDIT: Hairline has been creeping very slowly for the last 5 years (I'm 37) and my crown is starting to thin. Been doing Keeps for the last 6 months and don't feel like it's doing too much.

 

Listened to it twice. Love it. Shake With Me and Teenage Heart are my favorites. Nothing else to add. Will listen to it a 3rd time now.

 

The transition from Hinterlude to Time Machine is great.

 

Yeah that is perfect

 

The thing I love with this band is anyone could make an argument for any of their albums being their favourite.
