Advantages: An overall good album
Disadvantages: mildly similar sounding songs

...May i start off by saying that i'm no hardcore fan of Alkaline trio but like their stuff and bought the new album as i enjoyed the last. Alkaline Trio formed in 1997 with the intent of creating a sound that hadn't been heard before a kind of melodic dark punk grunge sound. In 1998 they released "Goddamnit", then in 2000 came "Maybe I'll catch fire" 2001 was when it really kicked off for the trio with the release of "From here to ther infirmary" this album got the attention of a global audience with singles including "Stupid Kid" and "Private eye". When you first press play on your cd player and you hear the intro to "Time to waste" your first thought is the trio are back. "Time to waste" is a great accomplishment.

I brought this album after having listened to 'Private Eye' on a Kerrang! compilation album some time ago. I would not say that I'm disappointed with my purchase, but it wasn't at all what I had expected after hearing Private Eye. Some of the songs have a much more punk-pop feel to them, (unlike Private Eye), and I would certainly reccommend this album to fans of Green Day, Blink 182, and so on. I would also recommend listening to most of it before purchase, so as not to be quite as suprised as I was when... Read review
