[QUOTE=Rancid Dan]I got Crimson, the other day (courtesy of the Lovely Lilly)

And it's awesome, there isn't a weak song, it's by far the best album they have done.

Lilly, could you send me Smoke again as you left half way through it sending.[/QUOTE]

I'm really sorry about that, my sister pulled the phone line out, and i had no idea that the hell was going on with the computer, and i threw a hissy fit for about an hour until i realised it had been disconnected for ages, then i felt stupid :upset:

When does the album actually come out?

I'm sure thats been answered a hundred times, sorry.

i've just downloaded crimson off my mate :D its amazing!

Welcome to 1 month ago :thumb:

Thanks for answering my question, you f[size=2]u[/size]ckers.

May 24th

You know how I know that? Well, I went on Google, and typed in "Alkaline Trio Crimson", and of all the results, the first page was a review which so happened to have the release date on it

I know, it's amazing. But that little form actually finds things for you. [size=2][i]Fu[/size]cker[/i]

I obviously didnt feel like opening a new window for google.

Jerkhead.

Yeah, Ctrl+N is such a difficult function for your left hand to do when you have enough time to make a post about it on MX and wait a whole hour for a reply

:rolleyes:

Yeesh, calm down you 2!

High tensions....

Listened to a few tracks off Crimson yesterday. All in all, a good sounding, catchy album, not exactly FHTI or Goddammit, but still good.

I'm looking for Crimson on Soulseek now. :)

The one on Soulseek is in a huuge que. Could someone send it to me over AIM? :)

itchy8bum8hole

Will do.

Dan, get your arse on AIM!

Will do.

The only thing I don't like about new Alk3 is that both singers voices don't stand out at much.

The songs are great though, I have the first 3 tracks and Bleed is definitely my favorite. I am actually going to wait and buy this when it comes out. I especially like the piano on some tracks.

I never download entire albums, only the odd track if I dont like the rest of the songs

They've been rumoured for reading and leeds

I know. I've never seen them live, and would **** my pants!

Neither have i, and i'd like to see them a lot.

Where'd you get this rumour?

There's a few rumours for other bands like Bad Religion, Me First And The Gimmie Gimmies, Millencolin etc.

Dropkick Murphys were announced today, along with Roots Manuva, Funeral For A Friend, Transplants and another band with a sh!t name i can't remember

I just downloaded Crimson off Soulseek. Pretty good stuff.

Alkaline Trio are a great band....great song writer....they are definatly an underated band

It's not great song writer, it is great song writers. :angry:
I f[b][i][/b][/i]ucking hate it when people leave out Dan and Derek, especially seeing as Dan sings almost half of the songs. He deserves at least as much credit as Matt, and Derek does a lot to the writing of songs, and he handles the bands website. They are all cool and deserve credit, not just Matt.
Dan has some songs that are as good as, if not better than, Matts best.

I think my favourite off that album has to be Time to Waste or Mercy Me. I love the part where Dan comes in, I really love his singing voice.

I prefer Matts voice.

Time to waste is my favourite song, i love the riff and the piano part, it's so atmospheric.

With Alk3, I like the vocals like this for Dans songs live;
Dan singing his lyrics
Matt screaming the lyrics over the top

Matt has a lot of aggression in his voice, whereas Dan's voice is a lot more romantic and emotional. They are both great for when I am in different moods.

Ha, sometimes Dan's voice sounds really wierd and country-like

<3 the small lisp

i love the chorus to mercy me, and your neck.

I love the piano intro/break in Time to Waste

Any album you can recommend for a guy just staring out with alkaline trio?

Depends, if you like bands like Blink and Green Day, try Good Mourning or From Here To Infirmary. If you like more of a rough sound, try Goddam[b][i][/b][/i]mit or Maybe I'll Catch Fire.

I like Mercy Me, I Was A Prayer(first song of Dan's that I really really like), Your Neck, and Smoke.
I'm disappointed with Sadie. I like the older version better.
Time To Waste is going to be the single. Heard the song on KROQ, yeah, I couldn't believe it either.

Radio was the first song I learned to play on guitar, and I still play it a lot.

I'm surprised that's the single, it's a bit dark for a single I think. I was expecting Burn to be the single

Nah, i expected it to be the single, it's got that edge imo, it's definetley my favourite song of theirs off the new album

I dunno, it is one of my favourite because it is quite fast and has some nice lyrics, but I am a sucker for the faster pace of Back To Hell
