Alkaline Trio: Crimson

(Vagrant, 2005)

Discovery: See first Alk3 entry.

Result: This competes with Goddamnit for my favourite Alkaline Trio album. I don't know what it is, but these songs seem to resonate with me the most out of their catalogue, they seem fuller, bigger, darker and poppier than Alk3's past offerings. Or maybe I'm just getting old. In any case, I love this record from start to finish, and it features some of my favourite songs to sing along to at a show. Also, I believe this record was when the trio became a quartet live. I love three piece bands, but sometimes you need that second guitar.

"Drive yourself insane tonight it's not that far away and I just filled up your tank earlier today"

Stand-out Tracks: "Time to Waste", "Burn", "Dethbed"
