Alkaline Trio Band • Page 2

Favorite band ever

Stoked for Matt's contributions to blink. Here's hoping for new Alk3 sometime next year.

"Trucks and Trains" remains my favorite song, but "Burned is the House" is immediately behind it.

 

My favorite alternates between Good Mourning and From Here To Infirmary. The latter was the first record by them I loved, but Good Mourning's a really important record for me too. That and I love the layers they added to that record to give it a darker vibe. I can still listen to it on repeat for hours.

 

I realized a long time ago that this is the band I'm gonna still listen to when I'm old, sitting on my porch with a beer yelling at the neighborhood kids.

 

Me too !!!! The Trio will always be a timeless band.

 

Great band. Covered a lot of their songs in my band in high school. Can only imagine how confused people were when we busted out My Standard Break From Life.

 

This band is sort of like comfort food for me. I'll never get sick of them.

 

I think it constantly gets listed as one of the best songs on it's album, but I think I Found Away is super underrated. It's up there with the best Alkaline Trio jams IMO. Been listening to it a lot lately....the synth bridge and Derek's drumming are just so good.

Derek is one of the best unknown to most drummers too, IMO.

 

Mercy Me > Dethbed > Settle for Satin is one of my fav stretches in their discography

Edit: fuck it, throw in Sadie and Fall Victim as well

 

"Fall Victim" is such a dope song. I love the way Matt sings the chorus.

 

Agreed. One of my favorite songs on Crimson, and I never really see it get any praise.

 

It's the sort of song I'd expect Matt to write w/ blink, tbh.

 

Yeah, that and "She Lied to the FBI" are kind of what I'm hoping for.

 

Best band. Love all of their stuff and hope we get a new album after the Blink cycle(which I'm incredibly excited for too.)

 

1. From Here To Infirmary
2. Crimson
3. Agony and Irony
4. Good Mourning
5. Maybe I'll Catch Fire
6. My Shame Is True
7. This Addicton
8. Goddamnit

 

Goddamnit last?! Blasphemy.

 

This Addiction is an easy last for me but Goddammit may be second or third to last in my book

 

Most days Emma is my favorite Trio song.

 

This Addiction has a few good tracks, but it's easily my least favorite too. At least it gave us "Fine," which is one of my all time favorite Dan songs.

 

True that, def has some great stuff on it but as a whole is kind of boring

 

1. From Here to Infirmary
2. Good Mourning
3. Maybe I'll Catch Fire

5. My Shame is True

8. This Addiction

 

I really love the title track of This Addiction

 

Yeah the title track is pretty good. I always think I don't really like that album, but looking at the track list, the only songs I don't like are "Draculina," "Eating Me Alive" and "Piss and Vinegar." The rest range from okay to pretty good. The only great songs, in my opinion, are "Dead on the Floor," "Off the Map," "Fine," and Dan's bonus tracks.

 

This is really tough...

1. From Here to Infirmary
2. Goddamnit
3. Good Mourning
4. Maybe I'll Catch Fire
5. My Shame Is True
6. Crimson
7. Agony & Irony
8. This Addiction

 

@Daniel1027 Definitely the hardest for me to rank, because they've been my favorite band for so long and I find it hard to be objective with them. I still love a lot of the material on their "weaker" albums.
