The Alkaline Trio. A Band That Means Alot to me cause ive liked them since i was young one. there newest album is entitled "Agony And Irony" and i belive, sadly it isnt there greatest work. When i first head the alkaline trio i was around the age of 11 i heard them at a friends house and i was curious about them. I had Listend to them since then and ive been addicted to them so much i got there logo tattoo'd on my right wrist. Some people might see this as a very dumb thing to do because as someone once told me "that bands not gonna be around forever and there gonna change and your not gonna like them anymore" and its mostly true, i dont expect them to be around forever and they are gonna make some crappy music, but thats what being a fan of a band is about, if everyband had fans just abandon them when they made bad music every band would lose a lot of fans. But to call yourself a fan and abandon them just because they make a bad album is absurd, a true fan will stick to the band rain, shine, hurricane and hell fire and brimstone.
When i first heard the alkaline trio they where punk rock fused with emotion. they combined the pain's of life and loss with drinking and smoking, creating a type of music i had never heard at that tender age, so naturally it sparked something inside of me that made me adapt to there style, though i never really went out as a kid to be like "OMG TEH ALKALINE TRIO RUUULES!" i kept it inside of me, if you look at me does it really look like i listen to half of the music i listen too?
"
Does that look like the face of someone who listens to everything from classical to punk rock?"
I Do Have My Opinion about the album, its not there greatest work, but its not bad enough to abandon the band. Some people i know go so far as to say the alkaline trio went into a popish style genre, but i disagree, if they went into pop they would sound like fall out boy or the jonas brothers, while in reality, this album sounds just like there album "Crimson" just more melodic, is it wrong for a band to try something different? the band thrice did a 4 concept albums titled "The Alchemy Index: Volumes I-IV: Earth, Wind, Fire, Water", and people had the same reaction that it sounded nothing like the original thrice, but in losing fans they gained a stronger fan base by going outside of there usual post hardcore Music.
In Conclusion The Alkaline trio did nothing but try to make there music evolve and to me it was a good album but not the greatest album, im neither down talking or giving the album a thumbs up, im just merely stating that it's a transitional album and it will make them gain and lose fans. How You want to rate the album is all up to you, the listener.
