Excellent Mercy Me is one of my favorite tracks off their album Crimson. With Alkaline Trio being my favorite band, I may be a little partial. It is catchy and still contains the dark themes that the Trio is known for. The video is phenomenal with the direction of Ben Goldman, whose animation style is incredibly unique and realiztic. Private Eye was one of their singles off of From Here To Infirmary and the acoustic version was taken from a live show in London in 2005. It is quite good as well. However, Buried is what makes this album. It is sung by Dan Andriano and is quite different than most of their songs. It is slower with a great guitar part throughout. The lyrics fit the mood of the music and combine together to create a powerful song that is one of my favorites. This album is worth it for this song alone. Amazingly well done and even with such high expectations, the Trio has not failed to dissapoint me.
