Alkaline Trio - Is This Thing Cursed? (August 31, 2018) Album • Page 10

I enjoy the first four front to back, Crimson I find a little more hit and miss though. I'll check them out as I've heard they have a few stand out tracks still.

 

Dang, favorite songs. Hmmm

Favorite is between Goodbeye Forever or Radio. (Goodbye Forever is the first song I ever heard from them.)

Favorite post-Crimson song - Broken Wing

 

The first Alkaline Trio song I ever heard from them was "Crawl" (on the Another Year On The Street compilation that Vagrant put out) and I fell in love with it. So that one remains my favorite still. But "Stupid Kid" is up there too.

 

Top 6 Matt Songs:

Keep 'Em Coming
All On Black
Blue In The Face
Until Death Do Us Part
Sadie
Jaked On Green Beers

Top 6 Dan Songs:

One Hundred Stories
Emma
You've Got So Far To Go
Take Lots With Alcohol
Fine
I'm Dying Tomorrow

Good Mourning, Crimson and From Here To Infirmary are my favorite Trio records

 

seeing a lot of people saying "post-crimson".....was there a significant change in the band after that record? did something change? as i said before i'm a pretty casual fan of the band, never really knew their history.

 

Top 5:
Continental
Crawl
Fuck You Aurora
I Lied My Face Off
Armageddon

FHTI my easy number one

 

Yea I feel like we're both on the same level of fanboyism with this kind of music haha

 

They became way more polished on Crimson.Also i would say Matt changed the way he used to sing (or just got rid of that throat problems he had on a Good Mourning)....I personally never minded and always appreciated every record....Never actually got that ,,hate" for This Addiction...Dorothy is phenomal

 

oh wow, midnight blue is one of my favorites on the album haha. happy to see others feel it's a strong album though. my friends are early trio people and the idea that I love My Shame Is True is insane to them.

 

I've been listening to Good Mourning so much since this album was announced... maybe I should switch to a different album lol

 

Anyone not putting All On Black in a top 10 is bogus

 

I'm Dying Tomorrow is a dan song!

 

Yeah I messed that up- please hold

 

c'mon Larry

 

Fuck that.

 

Maybe I'll Catch Fire through Crimson was such a strong run. Still love all 4 albums dearly.

Wasn't huge on either A&I or This Addiction (though Fine is one of the best songs they have ever written imo)

MSIT was a nice return to form.

 

never gets old haha

 

My Top 10 alk 3 Songs no order:
Clavicle
Radio
Private Eye
Steamer Trunk
Stupid Kid
Fatally Yours
Fine
Calling All Skeletons
Sadie
Mercy Me

 

I wanna hear a Dan song.

 

A&I is fantastic, top 2 or 3 record of theirs for me.

 

I feel like we had this exchange in the blink thread around caifornia’s release when I was BTDandFeelingthis

 

Man, I didn't know A&I was this loved. There's maybe three tracks that I'll actually re-listen to on there.

 

It was a huge disappointment for me after how good Crimson was. I barely revisit it if ever.

 

MICF, FHTI, GM, Crimson and MSIT are all so good that I hardly ever listen to the others.
