Editorial Review: Album Description: New split E.P. features tracks that are brand new & exclusive to this release, including both bands covering each other's songs. Jade Tree Records. Amazon.com: After touring together and courting similar pop-punk fans, Alkaline Trio and Hot Water Music decided to pool forces for this seven-song EP of original material and covers. Alkaline Trio's new material is true to their current form; the emotional, tripping-over-my-broken-heart stories are about girls and boys getting kicked in the head by their relationships. Ironically, the best song they offer on this disc is "Rooftops," a song taken from Hot Water Music's 1999 album No Division. The song is a nice change of pace from the Trio's usual midtempo trot through their angst-ridden world. HWM takes over for the second half of the disc, offering two original tracks and covering two of the Trio's songs--"Radio" from Maybe I'll Catch Fire and the aptly named "Bleeder" from Alkaline Trio. Although the differences between the two bands sound slight at first, HWM's material feels more urgently driven by the end, mainly because of the sandpapery vocals and more forceful guitar work. Overall, this split EP doesn't break any new ground musically, but it's a decent item for the avid fans of either band. --Jennifer Maerz Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - Alkaline Trio/Hot Water Music [Split CD]good stuff! can't go wrong if you like both bands. Rating:  - ill try not to make any spelling mistakes this timeAfter listening to this cd I discovered two facts. 1.Alkaline Trio + Hot Water Music equals a superb split release. 2.Alkaline Trio + Hot Water Music equals three pairs of emo glasses..... This jade tree release features three tracks from AK3; two originals and a cover version of "Rooftops". The two originals (Queen Of Pain, While You're Waiting) are typical of the band. Featuring dark lyrics and catchy choruses. While the songs are very good, two small points became an issue for me. First problem is the backing track of Skiba singing over his own voice. The Dan Adriano background vocals serve a big part of the Trio's music. His voice is not present throughout all of the three tracks. Another small detail i felt obliged ...

I mean if you listen to some other Hot Water Music songs the band has to offer, it's not that bad. Same thing with Alk3. Hot Water Music and Alkaline Trio are amazing bands in their own right. But, to say that one side of the album is better than the other just because you prefer one band's music over the others is ludicrous. Rating: - Good split by great bandsalakaline trio and hot water music team up to put out an awesome release. alkaline trio steal the show though "queen of pain" which is one of the best A3 songs ever plus you get "while your waiting" which gets fantastically disturbing towards the end. They do a good job on "rooftops" which is an awesome song by HWM. On the second half of the album HWM arent as good as heir counter parts but "god deciding" is awesome and so is their acoustic cover of "bleeder. Overall this is a great little album. Rating: - Down The Middle"Queen of Pain" and "While You're Waiting" are two of the most unique original songs in Alkaline Trio's catalog; some of Matt Skiba's best songwriting yet. Powerful lines like, "...I'm not much of a jester but I'd test poison food for you..." and "...you told me once I made you smile/we both know damn well I didn't..." make "Queen Of Pain" my album favorite. The Trio's take on HWM's "Rooftops" is excellent...I have yet to hear the original, but I doubt it could be better. Hot Water Music's "Russian Roulette" is a song that starts out sounding all pukey and gross, but quickly builds into the perfect song to relax to. An entire star is lost to the cause of HWM's butchery of "Radio" one of my favorite Alk3 songs. I can understand adding a second guitar ... Read More: |
