maybe its the weed talking but i seriously cant get over how awesome this song is. I keep hitting replay and after the stream of the whole cd i still think this is gonna be a my favorite
I’ve loved this band for a long time. The first song of their I heard was This Is Getting Over You and was hooked ever since. I love Dan’s unique voice and he is such an underrated bass player.
I love their new sound. I think it sounds great. I loved their old sound too! Can't we all just get along and not always bicker over a difference of opinion? If you don't like the way they sound now, deal with it. Bands always change sounds and it will keep happening. I'm sure if you were in a band and wanted to change something because it sounded good, you'd do it. So no one wants to hear the whining, people.
James Barrett the first 3 cds i think its incredible how he plays. not discrediting the rest of the cds but it i mean every part of every song has a different line to it, all completely unique
Love the old stuff, but really liking the new sound too. Why are people arguing over it? Chill out. If you don't like it, fine. Listen to the old stuff. No harm done.
I don't get all of this talk about hating the "new sound", I don't even hear much of a new sound. They've always been pop punk with dark lyrics. I'm still hearing the same basic song structure, palm muted chords, etc. Sounds good to me.
i think this is shaping up to be ne of their better records, and ive been listening to this band for over ten years. very happy they delivered, trio for life
AFI and Alkaline Trio are incomparable bands. And This Addiction was an awesome record. You're just one of those alk3 fans expecting another Godamnit, and Godamnit isn't even their best record.
I would love to hear Alkaline Trio make a concept record or rock opera, I loved Crimson, the opening track Time to waste was a great intro to the album. Don't get me wrong the Trio always deliver, but i think they could make something really theatrical i love the gritty but i also love over the top.
The music set to the old film footage is so fucking badass. Chiodos did something similar for every song on their album Devil. It was dark and amazing.
This album sounds like its going to be a lot better than the bands previous 2 full lengths. Having said that, some of the songs don't have that catchy-hook quality that good mourning or crimson had. Still excited to hear the album front to back.
were all going to have our favourite songs (sundials), i have been listening to the trio for over 15years, have trio tattoos and enjoy there music, old, new, the bits in-between, the thing is i have grown up with there music and it has evolved as have i, not giving a fuck, getting drunk fall in and out of love, every one just chill out and press the play button..
Guys shut up every time any punk band releases a new album there's some people that say "SELLOUTZZZZ" and abandon ship. i personally think this is quite dope.
anonwoohoo listen to "I'm only here to disappoint" the guitar parts during the choruses that sounds like something from a Misfits song plus the "horror" vibe of the song. It's off the same album as this ("My Shame Is True)
I haven't hated any of the songs they've previewed, but I haven't been stoked about them y'know? It could very likely be that I've been listening to Good Mourning lately, and their sound has taken a hop, skip, and a jump from that. That being said, this is my favorite new track thus far.
I have never really been to invested in this band so I am able to enjoy every album without much expectations. If I had to pick a favorite I think it would be Maybe, I'll Catch Fire. Crimson was different but far from a sell out album. It was hit and miss at times but had some really unique tracks. Honestly something to love on every album but I doubt this band will ever have an album I can call classic for me personally.
To me Matt had the better songs in This Addiction, but once again this is what makes a band so great, fans can chose from two singers from two different styles of writing
@E Barton (posted prematurely ugh) something special thats been missing the last few albums. seems like they're back on track. this St. Anthony song has so many replays from me haha.
Kinda funny that everyone is fighting over the old Trio and the new Trio. If you don't like the new sound, don't listen to it. Derek Grant obviously changed the way the band was working, and Matt said without Derek there wouldn't be a Trio today. I love Trio from GD to MSIT
Essentially I suppose I was, however inadvertently. No disrespect intended though. Realistically, I was just generalising. So far I just can't seem to share the majority's enthusiasm. I, Pessimist is easily the best new track in my opinion. Hopefully the new record is a grower. Either way, I'm pretty fuckin pumped to hear the thing in it's entirety.
You had me so going until you mentioned AFI. Now I can only say...Nah brah. My Shame is True is going to be dark, sarcastic, and catchy. The ultimate recipe for an amazing Alkaline Trio album.
I'm so sick of hearing people bitch every time a band releases a new damn album. Every artist changes their stuff, and takes shit for it. Thing is that if they didn't they'd still take shit for not doing anything new. It's always happened, and it'll always keep happening. I swear, there must've been some Beethoven fan back in 1801 saying the equivalent of "yo FUCK MOONLIGHT SONATA" The bickering is just pointless really.
lol how does this sound like a mix of This Addiction and Agony? if I HAD to pick two albums to compare these to (especially the last three songs) it'd be the sound of Good Mourning with the vibe of Maybe I'll Catch Fire. All these songs are miles ahead of anything off the last 2 albums. will they ever touch their work of FHTI and earlier? maybe not. but this is the best Trio album in 10 years, and that's not really debatable even if it's only based off of hearing 5 songs.
Don't get me wrong, Sing the Sorrow is awesome, I'm just saying that in my opinion it wouldn't be the example I'd choose to point out a really good album. Not trying to start an opinion war or anything.
@E Barton yeah I like Crimson alot but it seems the last two albums were spent trying to find themselves, there's some good songs on those albums and I listen to em every so often still, but Jesus fans need to stop being so pretentious with this band's material. Goddamnit is one of my top 5 favorite albums ever, doesn't mean I need to hate everything in the last decade. that being said, My Shame sounds like it has that so
it sounds better than this addiction. the only songs that were good on the album were by dan and those song truly were fucking amazing. fine and dine dine and the other one idk they were great. matt's songs sucked but this looks way better than we got 3 years ago
agreed. Good Mourning was the last good thing i ever saw, haaaaaaaaaaa no but seriously. everything after except maybe the BYO split with One man army was good....and then crimson came and everything has been different since. still bought and listened to all of them religiously but it was nothing in comparison. but i have faith in my shame is true
I've never heard A&I described as a concept album, it covers themes of duality, but is not one album around one story or backdrop. Maybe concept is the wrong word, I meant more of a rock opera feel. Lets face it, Green Day were stale as fuck before American Idiot (and since) and it would inject a new sense of fragmentation and experimentation that would suit Alk3 at a point in their career when they're churning out the same melodies on every new record.
Your comment that both American Idiot and Crimson are "terrible" albums doesn't add up to your love of catchy hooks. These were undoubtedly two of the biggest selling pop punk albums of last decade BECAUSE of how catchy they were. Sounds like you have more of an allergy to popular music than anything else dude. Wahhhh I want MY band back WAAAHHH!
Off The Map. And yes, Dan saved that record. If that record were a ship full of passengers and it sunk, Dan saved like, 3 people, the other 9 died. If it weren't for Dan's songs, particularly Fine, then that record wouldn't be worth much. Don't get me wrong I'm a huge Alk3 fan for like, 13 years. I just don't agree with everyone else that's frothing over it. It's good, I'll always love the band but it's not an "instant classic". AFI's Sing the Sorrow was an instant classic.
You're essentially implying that I'm one of those fans that are "frothing over" this new stuff, and have only listened to This Addiction then? I own their whole discography, not to mention Patent Pending, Hurricane Season, Babylon, etc. It's pretty safe to say you're not the only person who's an actual fan of the band. (Or are you?) Anyway, Piss & Vinegar is one of my favourite songs. So is My Little Needle. My point? ...I actually have no fucking clue, all I know is MSIT is gonna be killer.
Because it's basically sounding like a mixture of Agony & Irony and This Addiction, which in my opinion are the "worst" two records Alk3 have released and my least favourite records. But I do partially agree with you. I wouldn't say all five are better, but that's my opinion. However, collectively, yes they are sounding better. This Addiction shouldn't be too hard to top though. Apparently Alk3 have a whole bunch of fans that have only heard This Addiction to be frothing over these songs.
What Kind of a great Song is this ? What great Band . What a great Video. Hope to See them Here soon in Germany.
That bridge is unlike anything Trio has ever known!
Amazing.
Yup. That bridge alone makes this the best song on the album. My Shame is True is a fantastic Alkaline Trio album.
maybe its the weed talking but i seriously cant get over how awesome this song is. I keep hitting replay and after the stream of the whole cd i still think this is gonna be a my favorite
I love this song, I love this video, I love this Album and I love Alkaline Trio.
yes
Amazing songwriting as always...
I’ve loved this band for a long time. The first song of their I heard was This Is Getting Over You and was hooked ever since. I love Dan’s unique voice and he is such an underrated bass player.
Again again again and again Lord help me...
Old shit, new shit, who gives a shit. This sounds like Alkaline Trio to me. And I fucking like it.
Bonesss
I love their new sound. I think it sounds great. I loved their old sound too! Can't we all just get along and not always bicker over a difference of opinion? If you don't like the way they sound now, deal with it. Bands always change sounds and it will keep happening. I'm sure if you were in a band and wanted to change something because it sounded good, you'd do it. So no one wants to hear the whining, people.
ORANGE
Can we all just put aside our different opinions on the CD and talk about how much Dan shreds at bass?
James Barrett the first 3 cds i think its incredible how he plays. not discrediting the rest of the cds but it i mean every part of every song has a different line to it, all completely unique
people listening this on shity speakers don't get your comment ahah
Fragz or from louzy yt sound
No we can't
This is a great album
My favorite song off of My Shame is True
favorite song on the album
Quite frankly I haven't noticed that their sound has changed. It's all great.
My Shame Is True is looking like it's gonna be an instant classic.
Love the old stuff, but really liking the new sound too. Why are people arguing over it? Chill out. If you don't like it, fine. Listen to the old stuff. No harm done.
The chorus reminds me of This Could Be Love.
I don't get all of this talk about hating the "new sound", I don't even hear much of a new sound. They've always been pop punk with dark lyrics. I'm still hearing the same basic song structure, palm muted chords, etc. Sounds good to me.
i think this is shaping up to be ne of their better records, and ive been listening to this band for over ten years. very happy they delivered, trio for life
AFI and Alkaline Trio are incomparable bands. And This Addiction was an awesome record. You're just one of those alk3 fans expecting another Godamnit, and Godamnit isn't even their best record.
One of my favorites ❤
Love to hear your reasoning. All five songs released are better than anything on their past two records.
I would love to hear Alkaline Trio make a concept record or rock opera, I loved Crimson, the opening track Time to waste was a great intro to the album. Don't get me wrong the Trio always deliver, but i think they could make something really theatrical i love the gritty but i also love over the top.
wow punk is back baby!!!!! i never expected alkaline trio to sound like this!!!
So psyched for this new album release.. all these single teasers have been awesome. Quality writing and a classic ALK3 sound!
Best off the album so far! Thanks for the staggered releasing of these!
The music set to the old film footage is so fucking badass. Chiodos did something similar for every song on their album Devil. It was dark and amazing.
One of the films featured is "The Doomsday Machine".
I highly recommend it to fans of old/vintage sci-fi.
Yeah music is subjective. Plus this album is amazing.
I'd like to see them do a whole song in the style of that bridge... best bit of the previews so far!
I remember listening to this band when I was a kid, their new stuff is really good.
i love the way the just keep fleshing out new songs!!
Best LP i've heard in a lot of time! Love all the songs!
my fav song so far
This album sounds like its going to be a lot better than the bands previous 2 full lengths. Having said that, some of the songs don't have that catchy-hook quality that good mourning or crimson had. Still excited to hear the album front to back.
They sound better than ever!
were all going to have our favourite songs (sundials), i have been listening to the trio for over 15years, have trio tattoos and enjoy there music, old, new, the bits in-between, the thing is i have grown up with there music and it has evolved as have i, not giving a fuck, getting drunk fall in and out of love, every one just chill out and press the play button..
Such a great song 🎵. And love the music video 📹.
This video was an instant classic the day it came out!
Guys shut up every time any punk band releases a new album there's some people that say "SELLOUTZZZZ" and abandon ship. i personally think this is quite dope.
I love every album and am glad they never make the same album over and over, if you dont like musical diversify then this may not be the band for you
Derek's drumming is so sick in this one. Well, allll of their songs but I love the fills in the chorus
This album is amazing so far !
Sweet ! Reminds me of MISFITS .
Listen to the first trio release Goddammit, If you would like a much better misfits sound.
Thomas Sawyer really? i never really made that comparison and ive been listening to that album over and over since it came out heh.
Interesting. I really don't get the Misfits comparison... unless you're talking about new Misfits....
anonwoohoo listen to "I'm only here to disappoint" the guitar parts during the choruses that sounds like something from a Misfits song plus the "horror" vibe of the song. It's off the same album as this ("My Shame Is True)
The Misfits is a great influencer on the trio Matt said so during the consert they played along side the original Misfits in Las Vegas last year!
I haven't hated any of the songs they've previewed, but I haven't been stoked about them y'know? It could very likely be that I've been listening to Good Mourning lately, and their sound has taken a hop, skip, and a jump from that. That being said, this is my favorite new track thus far.
the breakdown in this song is awesome, makes me think of a boss level on a megadrive game... hahaha
This might be the coolest video ever.
Matt's lyrics might lack the meaning they had back in the day but he still knows how to write catchy songs
I didn't like my shame is true at first but it grew on me and I I've it, alkaline trio are still my favourite band :)
I have never really been to invested in this band so I am able to enjoy every album without much expectations. If I had to pick a favorite I think it would be Maybe, I'll Catch Fire. Crimson was different but far from a sell out album. It was hit and miss at times but had some really unique tracks. Honestly something to love on every album but I doubt this band will ever have an album I can call classic for me personally.
I'm crying of happiness
Awe yeah
The ultimate emo music! Ahhh the wonderful pain!
I haven't heard of anything from these guys since "Crimson", and my god this is fucking great.
Awesome song
To me Matt had the better songs in This Addiction, but once again this is what makes a band so great, fans can chose from two singers from two different styles of writing
i was thinking that more that this could be love or live young die fast. then again it sounds really original to me as well
alkaline on epitaph... fuckin' glorious. Punk lives.
@E Barton (posted prematurely ugh) something special thats been missing the last few albums. seems like they're back on track. this St. Anthony song has so many replays from me haha.
Honestly I think they still sound similar to their old style. Perhaps it's just a little more upbeat and faster tempo.
Song is very cool, but when guys release new music video?
Yea, cool man. Awesome.
🖤
Kinda funny that everyone is fighting over the old Trio and the new Trio. If you don't like the new sound, don't listen to it. Derek Grant obviously changed the way the band was working, and Matt said without Derek there wouldn't be a Trio today. I love Trio from GD to MSIT

🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
🤘
why did it get negative votes....what did i say. i really like this song and their first 4 cds were my fav. the end. oh and this addiction sucked.
this is my third time hitting replay
i wanna see a video for this one!!
I'm so sick of hearing people bitch every time a band releases a new damn album.
Every artist changes their stuff, and takes shit for it. Thing is that if they didn't they'd still take shit for not doing anything new.
It's always happened, and it'll always keep happening.
I swear, there must've been some Beethoven fan back in 1801 saying the equivalent of "yo FUCK MOONLIGHT SONATA"
The bickering is just pointless really.
binturongjustice 😂 The Beethoven bit. Great points though.
modern day Alkaline Trio----
product of green day -> sum 41 -> rise against -> escape the fate.. now were here!
lol how does this sound like a mix of This Addiction and Agony? if I HAD to pick two albums to compare these to (especially the last three songs) it'd be the sound of Good Mourning with the vibe of Maybe I'll Catch Fire. All these songs are miles ahead of anything off the last 2 albums. will they ever touch their work of FHTI and earlier? maybe not. but this is the best Trio album in 10 years, and that's not really debatable even if it's only based off of hearing 5 songs.
This shit is pretty killer. Sounds more like the old Alkaline Trio I used to listen to.
because it's a compilation, although it is awsome
what the fuck new alkaline trio this makes my life somewhat better!
THIS IS FUCKING AWESOME!
Hardly.
Don't get me wrong, Sing the Sorrow is awesome, I'm just saying that in my opinion it wouldn't be the example I'd choose to point out a really good album. Not trying to start an opinion war or anything.
Were those scenes from the movie "Doomsday Device"?
Why doesn't anyone ever mention what a fuckin' epic ass album Remains is?
Alk3 concept album along the lines of American Idiot would be AWESOME. Vote on my comment if you agree/disagree!
sing the sorrow was the last cd AFI ever made. i dont know what imposter are claiming to be them now
Old alkaline trio us better not that it matters but
anyone know what movie these clips are from?
prevent this tragedy?
the chorus is from this could be love
cockbroker Wait what.. how? The music sheets for Bass, Guitar and Drums are completely different
theratchet3789 Sing the chorus of This Could Be Love over this and it fits or visa versa. Its essentially the same just different key
I can understand how it sounds a little bit like it, but trying to play the chorus of 1 while singing the other it still sounds off
I know. Even the vocal melodys are quite similar in places.
+cockbroker lol its the same melody, but definately not the chorus from this could be love
Lot of knowledge in this song
But theres a couple of phrases I wouldnt sing with my heart
@E Barton yeah I like Crimson alot but it seems the last two albums were spent trying to find themselves, there's some good songs on those albums and I listen to em every so often still, but Jesus fans need to stop being so pretentious with this band's material. Goddamnit is one of my top 5 favorite albums ever, doesn't mean I need to hate everything in the last decade. that being said, My Shame sounds like it has that so

Anyone know what movie the footage for this clip is from?
FrauenArzt2012 I’m also wondering
Me too
agreed. Good Mourning was the last good thing i ever saw, haaaaaaaaaaa
