Not too shabby This album is quite catchy, and was stuck in my head for the better part of 2006. I like the alkaline trio, and I think they do a good job. I found the song "sadie" to be quite well-made, and mercy me is a fun one to listen to once you get dumped.
good album, good songs, good price.
An excellent album
It contains the original cd, which is excellent. This album is the deluxe edition of the Alkaline Trio's latest cd, Crimson. However, if you wish to see an in depth review of that, then go to its page. This review is for the bonus disc included with the original album. It contains the demo tracks for most of the songs on the album, as well as acoustic versions of some songs. While it is refreshing to listen to slightly different versions of many of the songs on Crimson, it is the acoustic tracks which truly make this disc worth it. The Alkaline Trio truly shines when performing unplugged, as heard in Mercy Me and most especially in Time to Waste. I've listened to that song on the original album countless times, but its acoustic performance on the bonus disc blew me away. I strongly recommend buying the deluxe edition if you are considering getting Crimson for the first time. I even recommend it if you already own the original, the bonus disc is worth the money. .
