Alkaline Trio - Agony and Irony
Review by Rev Dan

Well with this being Alk3’s sixth album I had to say I have a few mixed feelings about it. First off let me say that Alk3 is easily one of my all time favorite bands, however I think that they have put out better work. I’m not going to bash this album. This album shows that they have definitely grown as a band, yet still keep true to their dark and grim lyrics. With songs like “Help Me” and “In Vein” really taking this album to the next level, I was however kind of disappointed in “Love Love, Kiss Kiss” and “Live Young Die Fast”. .I’m sure there are special meanings for those songs, I just didn’t care for them on this album. Now if you were one of the lucky ones who got the special edition there is a awesome acoustic version of “Maybe I’ll Catch Fire on There”. Overall, I do say get it, who knows, you may love every song on this album and I’m just a douche bag!
