This album is an excelent step forward for Alkaline trio from their previous efforts. It see's Matt Skibas vocals far more pronounced and sees backing vocals harmonising to great effect. Skiba has a more gravely sound than later albums. This is a great album with some great tunes but it is a band trying to find their sound and nothing compares to later efforts by the band. A must have for fans though.
I thought this was better than From Here to Infirmary by a long way. Some memorable lyrics which makes you chuckle and excellent vocals. Made me go and find out a bit more about Alkaline Trio and was amazed at the back catalogue. On the strength of this and Crimson I purchased a couple of the older albums as well as their latest and they have remained true to their musical roots. Good on them!
their best album by far. cant beat it really. its goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood.
