Alkaline Trio - Is This Thing Cursed? (August 31, 2018) Album • Page 16

Help Me is great.

 

I like it because this girl I dated that time always sang to me that she ,,would lie to FBI" for me haha...that's about it and I can't other than still love that song.....But with you on Dorothy,that's one of my faves on This Addiction

 

Btw Help Me is awesome

 

I will always and forever say Burn is my favorite song of theirs. I really hope they play it on this tour

 

Unrelated but listening to the Heavens album for the first time and think Dead End Girl's gotta be a top 5 Skiba song for me

 

Absolutely

 

absolutely. wish more people showed love to Lead Poisoning though. I think that's one of Matt's best chorus melodies

 

Wish I could hear Heavens for the first time again too!Enjoy it's a hell of album!....Also The Hell is great as well

This is my preferred version of This Addiction. Equal parts Matt and Dan, and without three of Matt's worst songs.

 

Will be stealing this lol

 

Got him to write this down in his own handwriting and plan on having it tattoo'd. That album is a whole is the best thing he's ever done. Better than any Trio album, in my opinion. It's a crime it never got a follow up.

 

I actually like Piss and Vinegar though.

 

Mine's not that different, I guess I'm a little softer on some of the Matt songs when they have great melodies

This Addiction
Dine, Dine My Darling
Lead Poisoning
Dead on the Floor
Kick Rocks
American Scream
Off the Map
Draculina
Eating Me Alive
Those Lungs
Fine

 

Crimson is so easily the perfect blend of dark emo punk and solid pop punk songwriting I don’t see how it’s not their best. Not a single bad track and so many all time greats. Very special nostalgic album for me

Really just swapping off Draculina and Piss for the bonus tracks makes such a difference for me

 

Your Neck is terrible, Prevent This Tragedy is pretty forgettable. the rest are great

 

I was hoping they would continue down that dark path that Crimson had them on. They really pulled off that sound well!

 

"Your Neck" is definitely the weak point of the album but it's far from terrible imo, and "Prevent This Tragedy" is great haha

I will say this though: I like the intro on the demo version of "Your Neck" better than the actual intro haha

 

Tragedy is fine, I just barely remember it even after consistent listening to the album for over a decade, lmao. I'd trade them out for Buried and Don't Say You Won't in a heartbeat

 

i would not call your neck terrible but its my least favorite. prevent this tragedy is good.

 

agony was a disappointment at the time but over the years ive warmed up to most of it. in vein and i found away are some of my favorite trio songs

 

Big like!! That song is top tier Skiba!

 

I agree. I'll never forgive them for not using that epic piano intro in the final version.

 

Your Neck is bad, and Fall Victim is bleh too.

 

It took me ages to get into Fall Victim but that "we heard our recorrrrds backwards too many times" hook is absolute manna from heaven to me

My major problem with Crimson is it sounds like after Sadie they just stopped trying for a good flow, and just chucked the songs on in any order. The first seven songs is one of the best runs in their discog
