romanos27 Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 It's a cool box! BUT, truthfully, I hate this album. It may be the most boring album ALK3 has ever put out. And I'm a HUGE Alkaline Trio fan. Are you sure you're a huge Alkaline Trio fan? Because this is a good album. Are you sure you're not just a casual fan of maybe one or two of their albums? That would make more sense.

burdenx Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 I could see not liking this record much if you're more partial to Matt's songs as I think they're mostly boring, as most of his output from the past 10 years has been. The EP blows it away, anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottheisel Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Saw the Trio last night, was bummed that 1)this album was $20 on vinyl (for a single LP!) and 2)they didn't have the Broken Wing 12-inch. I left with only a $5 koozie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coryemis Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 I love this album! Best one since Good Mourning, easy. They didn't have any vinyl when I saw them in Carrboro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I left with only a $5 koozie. I honestly think that Epitaph only wants you to buy LPs from their store. Every store I've seen with their LPs (especially newer ones) don't charge less than $17.99. I'm not sure if the venue you saw them at takes a cut of the merch, but that wouldn't have helped either. As for the Broken Wing EP, they do a bad job at saying its exclusive to their store.... This Pressing of Broken Wing on Blue Vinyl is limited to 1500 copies world wide! One of our favorite things about the Trio is their long history of great songs that don’t make the album. Calling them B-Sides is unfair, because in any right world with any other band, these songs would’ve made the full-length. So we decided to press a 4-song EP of the tracks that are the “bonus” songs. Because they‘re awesome. This is a Kings Road/Alkaline Trio webstore Exclusive courtesy of the good folks at Epitaph Basically 500 tan deluxe package, 1,000 Blue. Both exclusive to KRM.

minor incident Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 At some point in the last 5 or 6 years, Dan eclipsed Matt and became one of the best fucking songwriters in rock and roll. His Trio output lately has been great, and his solo stuff has been phenomenal. jtcohenour 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannonball Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Eh...I think Dan's solo record is incredibly boring...minus a couple of songs. My favorite Dan songs are on GM. He really shined on that album. But does a heck of a job on the new record..especially the Broken Wing ep. ghjghj and horrorshow696 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Hundred Fifty-Two Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Just got a phone call from the Epitaph customer service asking what size shirt I wanted. Very cool of them. They also said it would be shipping out today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both exclusive to KRM. A-ha! That would explain that one, then. I couldn't bring myself to drop $20 on an album I really don't like all that much, but I would've dropped $10-$12 on that EP because those songs are so good. #dan4lyfe GradedOnACurve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xadamhudsonx Posted May 31, 2013 Author Share Posted May 31, 2013 Got my package yesterday. The TAN and GREEN vinyl doesn't work as well with the artwork as the pink or blue, but overall the package is pretty cool. Glad I dropped the cash on it. jtcohenour and coryemis 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coryemis Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Hey, I was checking out some of these instagram pics and I noticed a new shirt. I think they have it on the tour now. If someone could do me a solid and grab one for me at an upcoming show that would be great. of course I would pay cost + shipping via paypal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an old one (XL) that I had to retire cause I lost a ton of weight. It'd be cool to buy this again in a large. coryemis 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minor incident Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Since this is sort of _the_ Alkaline Trio thread... Got my copy of Agony & Irony from SRC today. The vinyl is a nice opaque red, nice labels. The jacket itself is kind of... Dissappointing. It's a tri-gatefold and was already torn at one of the folds when it got to me, and has since started ripping in another spot just from the weight of opening it. Also, the band name, where it says "ALKALINE TRIO" in white is actually just a sticker on the polybag, which is kind of cheesy. All in all, I'm glad I have it now, but for $30, I kind of expected more fit and finish. Even the lyric book, while nice, is about as plain as possible. No photos, no color inserts, just text. Part of it is that I just think tri-gatefolds are kind of shitty even with 3 records, but doing it with only two just seems dumb and unwieldy.

coryemis Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Thanks for the heads up! I think I may have made a few assumptions. I based the fact it was a new shirt off of some recent instagram pictures. Turns out this was a shirt for Damnesia (which I just got the DL code for? wtf KRM). Now, if they did have some off these for sell on this tour it was short lived. btw, thanks for the update Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
