I freaking love this album. Perhaps I love it so much because of the time in my life when it came out made it even more relatable. I had just broken up with my fiancé at the time. This record is Alkaline Trio's most polished sounding album. It was just plain clean. Some people hated that, I thought the "clean record studio sound" worked well with the songs. I wore this cd out in my car and still go back and listen to it on occasion (even though I'm happily married with the fiancé I broke up with at that time). rMy favorite tracks of the record (in no order): I Found Away, Live Young, Die Fast, Calling All Skeletons, Do You Wanna Know?, Love Love, Kiss Kiss and Help Me.

out of the 11 tracks, there's about 4 that I love, and 1 that I liked. The rest are boring basic pop-punk

After their most commercially successful album, Alk3 found themselves trapped in their own thoughts of mainstream regression which lead to the release of an album that is too pop-oriented for it's own concept.

Where 'Crimson' was a step in a newer, less stale approach; 'Agony and Irony' reveals the trio is all out of tricks, offering up a lackluster effort full of the same old chords and the same old song structures. As usual, the true standout feature of the trio are the excellent vocal performances from frontman Matt Skiba and bassist Dan Andriano. Most of the songs pass because of their often impeccable teamwork. 'Agony and Irony' truly demonstrates why punk rock is dead: a child could play these songs. Bland guitar riffs, boring bass work, and no-frills drumming ruin what could of been a very solid effort. Bands should progress, essentially; but Alkaline Trio takes steps back. Check out 'Goddmanit', 'Crimson', or 'Here to Infirmary' (not in particular order) instead to get a taste of Alkaline Trio's true creativity.
