Alkaline Trio- Self Titled


Recommended Posts

it seems kinda retarded to press a LP for a previously only available on vinyl collection album

Not really. Lemuria, Off With Their Heads and others have done it recently. It's nice to have it all together, that way you don't have to constantly flip and change 7"s. Besides, aren't most of the records these songs came from OOP?

The S/T wasn't a compilation of vinyl-only music. Look:

from I Lied My Face Off (CD/12")

1. Goodbye Forever

2. This Is Getting Over You

3. Bleeder

4. I Lied My Face Off

from Magnetic Curses compilation (CD only)

5. My Friend Peter

from For Your Lungs Only (CD/7")

6. Snake Oil Tanker

7. Southern Rock

8. Cooking Wine

9. For Your Lungs Only

from Pocket Bomb compilation (CD only)

10. Exploding Boy

from Sun Dials (7")

11. Sun Dials

12. Nose Over Tail

from Marc's A Dick And Gar's A Drunk compilation (CD/LP)

13. '97

Only two of the 13 songs were vinyl-only.

the reason why S/T should be pressed is because

a. all of those songs are scattered across several releases

b. they all kick ass

c. you can forget about getting any of those releases on vinyl without coughing up some serious cash.

but i'm pretty sure i read something about mike park scrapping the plans to release this. a damn shame indeed.

yep, classic meaning matt, danny, and glenn. i would like to add though, that 97 is one of the 2 best songs the trio has ever written. the other being cringe. i'm also a big fan of san francisco and maybe i'll catch fire (the song).

back in the city

the sun bakes the trash on the curb

the rats were pissing in doorways

had a dream with roy's face in it

that scared me awake

i put too much on the table

i put too much at stake

and i miss you like fuck
