Alkaline Trio - Blood, Hair and Eyeballs (January 26, 2024) • Page 7

Addiction is the weakest for sure. Not bad but it's the only album I sub the b-sides in for other songs and the track list has never felt like it flows great to me. But it's just not cohesive in general

 

Good to see the vinyl selling well.

 

Just listened to the new single and wow this album is gonna be fantastic. I loved ITTC, so I have high hopes for this one!

Also, interesting they moved to Rise. Wonder what happened with Epitaph?

 

Got my tickets for the Minneapolis show. This will officially be my first time seeing Alkaline :)

 

I do love the music video, and that's despite me thinking zombies have been super played out for awhile

 

The music video is great for the new single. Steve Caballero and Chris Cole!

 

Easily their best video in a LOOOOOOOOONG time.

 

I’ve seen em 3 times and it was always fantastic.

 

This Addiction is so wild because that run from Draculina to Dorothy is some of their worst material ever but then it closes with Fine, which is potentially their best song

 

This is their best single in a long time. That said, this is funny:

 

At this point I think we’re all afraid to ask questions related to production. BUT, why does this bands music always sound a little muddled? Is that just their thing?

 

Song is cool. Sounds like a continuation of ITTC? and I'm down for that.

 

Breaking: person that has written probably over 200 pop punk songs has used the same note in multiple songs lol

 

My first thought on the new song was “He’s doing it again ?!”

 

If it ain’t broke….

 

Matt “Tom Delonge” Skiba

 

“My mom worked for years as an emergency room nurse,” explains Matt of the album and song name. “She and her co-workers referred to exceptionally busy nights as ‘blood, hair, and eyeballs’. Well, we’ve been busy making an exceptional record we refer to as Blood, Hair, And Eyeballs, too "

 

We need a new Danny closer to add to the stellar list of Crawl, Smoke, and Fine. Hoping we get it this time.

 

Bought my Minneapolis ticket, can't wait!!!

 

Really dig this song after multiple listens.

Now, I’m no expert in production, but I just turned this song on after finishing the new Menzingers record and man this song sounded so small in comparison.

I even went back and listened to Demons and Divisions and then turned this on. Same deal. It’s like the song didn’t fill up my headphones. A little bit bummed about that.

 

Okay I don't really dislike the title anymore after hearing this

 

Yeah that fully changed my opinion on the title lol

 

The mastering just sounds really overcompressed on the new song. You can hear a bit of clipping when the bass/guitars first come in.

Chorus to this has been stuck in my head since first listen

Skiba’s song writing just really works for me.
