Editorial Review: Album Description: Deluxe Edition Two CD set of Alkaline Trio's 2008 album Agony & Irony includes 28 page booklet in a hardbound book package with bonus disc of acoustic tracks. Alkaline Trio have been playing their unique brand of hardcore Punk music to legions of fans for over ten years. With Matt Skiba on guitar and vocals, Derek Grant on drums and Dan Adriano on bass, the band emerged from the working class suburbs of Chicago,Illinois in 1997. The Trio released their first two albums with indie label Asian Man Records and then joined Vagrant Records in 2001. Over the past decade, Alkaline Trio's sounds and lyrics have evolved from raw, loud, and uninhibited as to refined, poetic and profound as heard on their last release, Crimson. The album was produced by Josh Abraham (Staind, Korn) and features the lead single 'Help Me'. Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - On A Positive Note, There Exists GOOD Trio To Explore...It's hard to find words that truly express my full disappointment with this album. I really wonder if the persons involved in writing music for Alkaline Trio really want to be in the music business at all anymore; let alone for a band that I coveted like Trio. Whatever. Bands go through changes. They go through bad times. They go through slumps, and they go through courtings. They feel love, hate, and break ups. The goods, the bads, and the what-have-you's. Some never lose sight of the prize...and some do. Some say, "It's what we've worked for!" And some realize it's a lot more than that. A band like Trio was a once in a lifetime thing. The sad fact is that they've become what, I believe, they -at one point- never ... Read More: Rating:  - Solid, albeit quite a bit redundant I've been enjoying A3's music for about a decade now. I accept that they've changed for good since their Chicago days, and am able to enjoy elements of every release they have. With that said, a number of songs on this album are gems, and several are varied enough to keep your interest through and through. My one concern, and it's pretty significant, is the fact that almost every song (or far too many, at the very least) follows the same exact blueprint. Each song stays low key throughout the main verses, and then they break into this overly-polished (over-produced/poppy/programmatic?) chorus. Listen to the first 5 or so tracks and it's difficult to feel like each song becames stale & predictable in all the wrong ways - that is, you know ... Read More: Rating:  - It's not too bad. I first heard the Alkaline Trio on [...], and thought they were slightly better than average. I bought this album, and it's been a little better than expected. Let's get something straight. Alkaline Trio seems to emphasize one major aspect of music: Vocals. This is great in my book, because that's really all I care about in music, but other's care about the guitar and drums. To be honest, the guitar didn't make a huge impression on me, but I am by no means an expert. Deluxe Edition Extras: The deluxe editon came with an extra CD full of acoustic and demo versions of the songs. They are not too bad, but not as good as the main album. Deluxe also includes extra artwork, and a cool little cover box thing. ... Read More: Rating:  - Predictable downfallI can not say too much bad about this album, it is a good sounding album. But to compare it to their previous releases, this one falls short. It would have been hard to top Good Mourning, but Agony and Irony does deliver a nice sound, interesting lyrics, and the bonus album is a fun change to their sound. I'd buy it again... on sale. Rating: - Some good "punk lite" stuff hereWhat I like about Alkaline Trio(and you may think I'm old for saying this) is that you can understand the words. Though their lyrics are not Shakespeare and at times seem random, I like that I can sing along with them. Agony and Irony is a heartbreak album from start to finish. Lots of angst and anger here--I especially love this lyric from In Vein: "Do you recognize this shape? It's the back of your hand. You paste it on my face here again & again". Love that and can totally relate. Musically, there may not be enough punk for me--I like it a little more fast and furious, but did find that I especially liked "Calling All Skeletons" and "Lost and Rendered". The suicide song "Over And Out" could have been very ... Read More: |
