Alkaline Trio - Is This Thing Cursed? (August 31, 2018) Album • Page 41

Jesus Christ this so good!!!It also sounds very Crimson,especially Dan's bridge

 

Fuck it, I'm going to listen !

 

3 top notch songs! Can't wait for the album to drop! Might be a top 3 album at least!

 

I love that we got some of that poppy Trio back.

 

The production on DD is very Agony & Irony.

 

Wow, Demon and Division reminds me of MICF-era stuff. I think I like this better than Blackbird upon the first couple listens.

 

Yea I love production as well.so good...I also love how Matts voice sounds somehow younger

 

And I thought when they released blackbird that it must be best track on album hahah it's the weakest from all 3 so far for me (still really fucking great )

 

This is probably the weakest of the three for me

 

I’m going to try to hold out as well but I am very weak when it comes to this band haha

 

With that being said, this is probably still the weakest of the three but it's still pretty damn good.

 

For some reason when I listening to this I see Bad Religion's - Los Angeles Is Burning video In front of me....like half cartoon half real.Wish they did something similar for this track

Maybe it's just because I fell in love with both bands and Lawrence Arms at the same time thanks to Rock Against Bush so they are all somehow connected for me

 

Wow I love this song.

 

Love that bridge as much as the first time I heard St. Anthony's

 

Gonna try to wait til Friday or whenever it leaks.

 

Anyone find a youtube link yet? Can't use spotify or itunes at work :(

 

I like this one but not as immediate as I had hoped

I will wait until Friday with the album to listen again though

 

pretty much where I'm at with it. production is super weird and not sure how well it translated onto record in general, the bridge is pretty incredible tho

 

I like it, like I've said before it has the production quality of A&I. That's not a bad thing by any means. Derek really kills it on this track though !

 

I don't know, A&I was a very clean and smooth-sounding record - I know it got flak from the fanbase for how polished it was, but there was no muddiness in the mix of that album at all. On the other hand, when the guitar first bursts in on D&D it sounds like a complete mess of distortion to me, there's no clarity there at all

 

You know it may very well sound better on the physical copy of the album.

 

It will. That usually ends up being the case. I can’t tell you how many times the mix on streaming services has blown compared to the cd

 

It's weird, the bitrate sounds pretty low on all the new songs on spotify for some reason. It's gonna sound so much better on the physical album.

 

Yup. See Blackbird when that was released.
