Alkaline Trio - Blood, Hair and Eyeballs (January 26, 2024) • Page 5

Super fun video

 

Song is good. It’s been rattling around in my head since I first heard it.

I’m a little surprised the “whoas” are so buried in the mix.

 

- Alkaline Trio - Blood Hair And Eyeballs (Zia Exclusive) /300

 

Unsurprisingly, the merch for this record is awesome. I want all of the t-shirts lol

 

I just told my friend the same thing! haha

 

I don't buy much band merch these days but I'm due for a new Trio one, I only have one shirt and the heartskull Hoodie. And their Nikes but I only wore those once lol

 

Oh fuck, Alk3/DC is a great tour package. I’m gonna grab a ticket to that for sure

 

Lol is that Steve Caballero in the music video?

 

Sure is!

Video and song are great

 

Got the Rise vinyl, I liked the stripes better

 

Top 5 band for me. Wildly excited for this, I’ll avoid any additional singles that will inevitably come out between now and January. Love this one though, that chorus absolutely soars

 

Anyone know the presale code?

 

My only gripe with this song is the way Matt says "Sleep like the undead, like the undead". It's almost like he's doing a faux-Caribbean thing or something lol.

 

Aragon. That's a pass for me.

But that's definitely a Trio song. Scratches the itch.

 

Haha that video is awesome. How did I get through life NOT having an Alkaline Trio zombie music video released a couple weeks before Halloween before?

 

Try EYEBALLS

 

That worked. Thank you! Grabbed a ticket for Toronto

 

There's our explanation:

“My mom worked for years as an emergency room nurse,” says vocalist/guitarist/founder Matt Skiba. "She and her co-workers referred to exceptionally busy nights as ‘blood, hair, and eyeballs’."

 

haven't been to zia in years, but got a soft spot for it. PO'd this variant.

 

Love the song and video

Musically I really like the new song, lyrically it was pretty distracting for me. Stoked for more songs to come. I loved the Lektron songs and am so happy Atom is a fulltime member.

 

Wait the audio quality from the leaked Reddit post yesterday is the actual streaming quality?

This sounds like I’m listening to the song under a blanket wtf lmao

 

Sounds a ton better on Apple Music Lossless than it did on the streaming leak yesterday. Think it's just the sound they've gone for.

 

I’m listening to it on Apple Music and to me personally? It sounded pretty muffled/terrible during the chorus. It’s a little better than the Reddit leak but not by that much IMO.

I put on Take Lots With Alcohol afterwards on AM to make sure it wasn’t my AirPods and it’s not lol

If this was intentional on their end then I’ll pass on the vinyl but still catch the tour.
