Guest Admin Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 ALKALINE TRIO "Agony & Irony" LP http://stores.channeladvisor.com/vinylhome/Items/Epic17247 180 gram edition of the upcoming Alkaline Trio album, "Agony & Irony". Comes with a full download of the entire album which is nice to see a major label do. I will be honest, I am a big nervous to hear this new album. Anybody give it a listen yet? I am still very partial to the old Asian Man stuff and never full freaked out over the Vagrant titles (although I like Remains quite a bit). We only have a small number coming in, but I am working hard on getting more. (I said "hard on"). Get a copy while you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Damnit Virgil! I just placed an order for other stuff like 1 hour or so ago... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexis Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 This record is pretty average Virgil. Good Mourning was their last very good album in my book. Remains and the split with One Man Army don't count. Skiba's voice is still amazing but there's something missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olmec Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 I wish I could grab this to support Virgil, but between preordering this as soon as it was announced to get the free 7" and preordering 2 more copies to get wristbands to the free Chicago show for me and my girlfriend, I'm gonna have way too many copies already. (One may be too many if they continue down the Crimson road.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon720 Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 This record is awesome. It's very pop, but it's also very catchy. Fuck, I dunno, I dig it a lot. My copy shipped from the pre-order on their site. Siked to get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon720 Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Anyone else get this today? I ordered it from Skyroo or whatever it's called. The gatefold jacket is awesome. Haven't listened to it yet, though. Says it's 180gram but I can't really tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottheisel Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Nice! I just used my download coupon and the MP3s are 320kbps, DRM-free. Way to go, Epic Records! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddieruckus Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 this album got a lot of hate, granted its not classic trio, its really not bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamlikesmusic Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 If you forget it's Alkaline Trio and just listen to it for the music, it isn't that bad. Of course compared to their old stuff it lacks, but by itself I think it's a pretty good album. I'll be ordering a copy of this soon.
