acorren1 Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 It's nothing really mind blowing or out of the ordinary, but after one listen I like it a bit more than Agony & Irony. I agree with everyone that has said the lyrics and production are both on the side of predictable though. It will probably grow on me more as I listen more.

davezer Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 I wish I was excited to listen to this again. But after the first listen, I'm not. bummed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyregret Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Liking this album more and more with every listen. Should have come out in May though, it'd be great for summertime driving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
googlemyass Posted January 20, 2010 Author Share Posted January 20, 2010 i still cant believe theres a song called "draculina" Then you must not be that familiar with the Alkaline Trio. you should press a record with a 65 minute lecture familiarizing those who are not familiar with the Alkaline Trio.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 sounds like Alk3, sounds good enough for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 the vocal melody in This Addiction is almost identical to Armageddon. THIS ADDICTION..... ARMAGEDDONNNNNN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dynamitekid Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 I haven't listened to an ALK3 album since good mourning and this doesn't make me want to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottheisel Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 the vocal melody in This Addiction is almost identical to Armageddon. THIS ADDICTION..... ARMAGEDDONNNNNN They're not the same at all, actually. Completely different notes, completely different phrasing. It takes Skiba two measures to sing, "This addiction," whereas in the same time period, he sings, "Armageddon, let the light in." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really? How many colors should I press it on? I'll deliver one specifically to your house. Then you can tell me all about what I should do.

danthemjfan23 Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 the pacing actually reminded me a little bit of Dead and Broken upon the first couple listens. if you sing them spliced together, it actually kind of works out: This Addiction... down at the bottom but this bay can't keep it ... No goin' clean maybe i'm grasping at straws there, but This Addiction definitely reminded me of another alkaline trio song when i first heard it. to me, that song was Dead and Broken.

tonyregret Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 yeah dead and broken is a little similar, i'll give you that one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrc Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 just got done listening to it for the 1st time, and its pretty good. however i had the lowest exceptions, so it wasnt hard to me impress me after the last album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vamike Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I can't believe how good this actually is. I haven't made it through agony & irony ONE time at once, but I've listened to this addiction 3 times already. fav song so far: off the map Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benchwarmer Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 2nd listen, I really like the last song, "fine". It's not really a typical ALK3 song, but it's great. Danny rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
