If you have to own one of their cd's....
The only real problem I had with it is that they decided to include the Split version of Sadie even though they produced another version of it for Crimson, but they held out on Over at the Frankenstein place. Make it this one. Even still, if you don't have Crimson, Sadie is one of the bands best songs, and throw in Hell Yes, Queen of Pain, Dead End Road, Hating Every Minute, Jaked on Green Beers, Metro, We Can Never Break Up, and Warbrain you have some of their finest songs.

Also, on the booklet that comes with the CD, Matt Skiba says that "We Can Never Break Up" is the song that represents what the band is all about, and having heard all their CD's, I think that is true and this CD represents what they are all about better than any other. Great for hardcore fans, but even better for those unfamiliar with the band.


what's with the album cover?
Liked them right away; seems a lot like Green Day's sound. First heard this band when I bought a used mp3 player which had 2 of their albums on it. Is that considered "punk" now? So nothing to complain about except this album cover "art" makes me want to puke. Couldn't they come up with anything better? Even a pile of dog poop wouldn't be as bad. Was the intention to be "edgy" or to offend? I don't get it. So, I'll put it away as soon as I rip it to my computer and never look at it again, which seems a shame since they at least did away with the horrible jewel case in favor of cardboard. Good idea! Why record companies still use them is anybody's guess. If they can put a DVD in a box that's unbreakable, why not package CDs in the same sort of box? Makes too much sense to ever be put into practice.


The CD alone deserves more than 5 stars, but the dvd...
What could've been a wonderfully put together DVD is nothing but a clip show with no menu. not so much. Go figure? The CD, however, is awesome. I've had it in my car's CD player for 2 months now and I don't look to stop listening to it anytime soon. "Metro", "Dead End Road", "Old School Reasons", Don't Say You Won't", "Hell Yes", and "Rooftops" play in my head like my brain is the iTunes shuffle. Other great tracks on here too. For any Trio fan, it's a must have. For any music fan who wants to give a new band a shot, look no further than this compilation of B-sides and rarities.


Trio's Best Songs
This one hasnt left my car since I got it. This album contains Alkaline Trio's best songs. . . all the songs are just too damn good.

Best Songs:
-Dead End Road
-Jaked on Green Beers
-Old School Reasons
-Queen of Pain
-Warbrain
-Buried

They're all really good. This is Alkaline Trio at their finest. Someone earlier mentioned another group of songs. . . hopefully there'll be more Remains in the future.


Rock Solid, start to finish
I am a 43 year old original punk and discoved this band three years ago and I have to admit they have become my favorite. I agree with some of the previous reviews that many songs are not new but there are plenty that are and the ones that I had previously heard happened to be some of my favorites so no harm, no foul for me. My 13 year old loves the album also, he loves Metro, which is my least favorite since it was an overplayed pop song when I was a kid. Rooftops, Old School Reasons, and If you had a bad time, are some of my favorites, although I have to admit that I have been listening to the disc non-stop for a few months now and am very grateful for the band. I am a little confused by their sophmoric infactuation with blood, death and depression.
Cheers to Alkaline Trio! Keep em coming boys!.
