Alkaline Trio - Is This Thing Cursed? (August 31, 2018) Album • Page 52

I am so happy with this album - I'm sure I will have more thoughts, but right now I'm just jamming at my office with a smile on my face haha.

 

"Throw Me to the Lions" is this album's "Back to Hell", I reckon

 

Goodbye Fire Island and Throw Me to the Lions......holy shit. This album is a ripper for sure.

 

The problem with Krystalline is that it’s SO good, that when the song ends with me seeing there was still 1:13 I got real sad cause I wanted more of that. Such a great song, love it!

The way I described the album to my friend was “non-stop fantastic.” Can’t wait to dive in more!

 

alright... I think this is my ranking of the albums, it was tough (not including Is This Thing Cursed? as I'm only on third listen, but safe to say it'd be pretty high haha)

Good Mourning
Crimson
My Shame is True
Agony & Irony
Maybe I'll Catch Fire
From Here to Infirmary
This Addiction (honestly this and FHTI are pretty close)
Goddammit

Honorable mention of course Damnesia.

 

This is great so far but just wanted to say my shame is true is a great album.

 

First listen time!

 

we made it! enjoy!

 

I'm vicariously excited for anyone listening to this for the first time right now... or indeed the second, third, fourth etc

 

I love this. I’m a huge fan of A&I and MSIT, don’t mind This Addiction as much as most - but this might be my favourite since Crimson. Sweet Vampires is my current favourite.

 

Me listening to this album right now

 

THEY SAID THEY DID ALL THEY COULD

THAT BOY'S BEEN DEAD SINCE CHILDHOOD

 

Oh man this is fantastic.

 

Jut finished my coffee. ON TO THE SECOND LISTEN

 

After 2 listens my favorites are:

Krystalline
I Can’t Believe
Heart Attacks
Demons & Divison (didn’t listen to this before)

 

Demon and Division
Throw Me to the Lions
Heart Attacks
Krystalline
and then Is This Thing Cursed? and Stay are tied

that's my top five right now

 

I Can't Believe is straight fire too

 

Gonna break this thing in today on a nice long car ride. Can’t wait!

 

Sweet Vampires
Blackbird
Goodbye Fire Island
Throw Me To The Lions
I Can’t Believe

Top 5 on first listen

 

First listen done. Solid album, early favorites are the title track, Throw Me To The Lions and Goodbye Fire Island. The only song I didn't really care for was Stay.

 

Currently listening to this with beer on tap and the sun beaming down in Lanzarote. Life is good! Haha. Album is class as well

 

God it’s good to have this band back

 

Dream tour:
Alkaline Trio
Creeper
Nervus
The Creeps

Make it happen!

 

Now begins the wait till October when the vinyl ships
