companyinkrecs Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Am I the only one who feels they just keep writing the same song over and over again? No. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derby625 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Well, I've bought all the past albums. Like it or not, I'm sure I'll eventually be buying this one as well. Agreed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minor incident Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Can someone name me a band that released an great album 15 yrs ago and that can still put out a great album? For the casual listener ..not a fanboy. Ben Folds (Five) Nada Surf Bruce Springsteen Rancid Descendents NOFX Pearl Jam Johnny Cash Foo Fighters Those are all ones that have ~15 year gaps between what I would consider "great" albums. Wilco and Radiohead could be argued, but I don't like either of their newer stuff nearly as much as some people. mattalica17 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stokd Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 The A side of Agony & Irony is good. Crimson is definetly the black sheep. Crimson was the album that finally got me into Alkaline Trio. I'd heard the odd songs here and there over the years but Crimson was the first album I could sit through and loved almost every song. Keep in mind though I'm also a huge Blink/Jerry Finn fan, I loved the production on it. Gotten into a lot more since then but Crimson, for me, is the odd one in that it's probably still my favorite. ghjghj 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minor incident Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Finally got to listen to the song now that I'm home. I really like the music and the guitar sound, but I'm not crazy about the effect on the vocals. It's a little weird and gruff and chorus-y. I don't dislike it, but I'm waiting to hear it in the context of an album before passing judgment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really love Crimson, too. I've just come around to feeling like This Addiction is a bit better. Almost purely because of Lead Poisoning.

Out of the blue this past week I've been on a This Addiction kick. The new song caught me off guard, it's poppy as hell but I like it.

minor incident Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 PJ hasn't released a "great" album since 96. Eh. While I didn't love Backspacer aside from a few tracks, The self titled album was really really good, I thought. Maybe not earth shatteringly great, but terribly good for being 15 years out from Ten.

jonnywreck Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Anyone else think this sounds exactly like "We've Had Enough" (aside from the bridge)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not earth shatteringly great, but terribly good for being 15 years out from Ten. It was really good. It helps that it had the same team mixing & producing as on No Code (my favorite). Anyway, not digging newer alkaline trio. Will probably pass on this. Each album gets worse and worse for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Hundred Fifty-Two Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Alice In Chains Converge Red Hot Chili Peppers Propagandhi He said for the casual listener. Who can casually listen to a converge album. It isn't something you could listen to on a whim and be like I dig this. For "I want to be a Warhol" my only problem is the terrible rhyming of wall and Warhol. I would rather there choruses didn't rhyme than have something super cheesy.

It didn't sound like Matt, but at this point in his career that is a good thing. Dans voice on the other hand has gotten stronger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
