Alkaline Trio - Blood, Hair and Eyeballs (January 26, 2024) • Page 40

Teenage Heart needs to be the closer on this tour

 

I love how this record opens and closes with grand statements about how fucked things are right now. Teenage Heart is so beautiful and tragic in a way only Alkaline Trio can pull off.

 

It's funny how good a closer Teenage Heart is when it's the first song they wrote for the album. It hits me in a way that I feel like Until Death Do Us Part was supposed to. The feels on this album are immaculate

 

every album by this band should end with Matt and Danny screaming out a chorus together. just feels right man

 

Yeah goddamn I love this album. Alkaline Trio firing on all cylinders, baby.

 

Yeah you can always count on trio selling out Chicago shows very quickly

 

It must've happened recently, because they just posted a low ticket warning a couple of days ago. Gonna have to go secondary market on em, which I'm not thrilled about

 

Really hope this is a sign of them going back to mixing up the set lists a bit more. I get that a lot of it was probably down to Derek not touring but so many of the recent tours had essentially the same set every night.

 

all of them

 

Past Live Volume II: We Literally Die Trying to Play Every Song We Have

 

I just want to hear Warbrain. I know it’s not a rarity, but I have the worst luck that every time I’ve seen them it wasn’t on the set list.

 

I consider myself officially content with my BH&E collection.

 

Just finished my first listen (been busy last few weeks and wanted to give it the time it deserved) really digging it. Need more time with it but it does feel like classic trio while not re-treading too much or trying to capture what they used to be.

 

I don't know if you've heard the Past Live of Agony and Irony but I'm pretty sure Dan almost died during that one /s

 

Urban Outfitters variant showed up before the Menzingers record lol.

 

#188 on the Billboard 200
#50 on the Billboard Artist 100
#6 in Album Sales
#4 in Vinyl Albums

 

Even in these times, #188 seems kinda low, no?

 

Just rock in streaming numbers is generally non-existent compared to what's popular

 

4 month rollout didn’t help either I assume

 

We're not gonna start rollout critiques in an Alkaline Trio thread are we lol

TBS didn't get on the 200 with their last album. Gaslight Anthem is way more known than Trio and had Bruce Springsteen on their album, debuted at 152. This is a solid chart, idk what else people could expect in 2024 lol

 

Nooo we’re definitely not doing that haha

 

felt like Rise didn't really promote it a ton but yea that chart number seems low considering all their albums from Good Mourning to Cursed all debut within the top 100 but it's also been 5+ years since the last album and unless you're blink or Green Day you aren't charting high as a pop punk band in 2024

 

#6 total selling is great!

 

Yeah can someone explain to me the difference between being 188 on the billboard top 200 but #6 total selling?
