Ghost Posted September 26, 2017 Posted September 26, 2017 Is he the 'chocolate rain' kid? Bloody amazing. Yep, he sounds like Danzig. Quote

Lol no I don't think so, way too young. the band is a bunch of brothers, fairly recent. they're all teenagers. the album that song is from is surprisingly good. Quote
Ghost Posted September 27, 2017 Posted September 27, 2017 I'm gonn check it out, definitely. Thanks a lot! Quote
Ghost Posted February 14, 2018 Posted February 14, 2018 Interesting article: https://www.altpress.com/features/entry/alkaline_trio_biggest_moments_career_history There's lot of interesting stuff on there, but this quote caught my attention. How cool is that? Quote Skiba says Finn even flew to Chicago to work with them and mixed From Here To Infirmary free of charge. 2 Quote
radioactive tomdog Posted February 17, 2018 Posted February 17, 2018 why do that when you can pay feldmann's 20 year old assistant a shit load of money to make it sound like trash Quote

Ghost Posted June 2, 2018 Posted June 2, 2018 So I've been listening to the "Past Live" Box Set this two days and I have mixed feelings about it all. The idea is amazing: their entire catalog recorded live (well, with some exceptions like some b sides and the Remains songs). That, per se, is really cool, but man... their performances are not as good as I expected. There are TONS of proformances out there that are much better than this ones. The band sounds good and thick instrumentally speakin, but Matt's performances here annoys me like hell. As I suspected, the Past Live tour happened when Skiba had that weird period in where he didn't sustain the tones at the end of the verses. I don't remember if he was recovering from another throat treatment or what. He sounds just tyred, with no punch and, moreover, like yelling on lots of high parts. "Sadie" has some parts that I just hate here, and that's one of my favourite AK3 songs. Also, I'm still figuring out what the hell happened on the beginnig of "Fall Victim". But also, Dan sounds like he's been exorcized on "in Vein", aonther favourite been destroyed here -luckily enough, he's basically 99% spot on, except for that song and maybe other smaller details-. I don't know. I think it was all about fatigue and recovering from throat troubles, colds and shit, at least in Skiba's case. But the problem is that this will be there, recorded, forever. And, moreover, as a milestone on their 20th anniversary. On the other side, well... is not that bad, as long as it sounds as if those shows were just transferred from the soundboard to the CDs without touching anything on the studio (which is cool), but, I mean, even the Live in Las Vegas that came out as a bonus DVD on This Addiction is way better. Even the official bootlegs offered on the Blood Pact are more powerful. 1 Quote

I haven't had a chance to hear them all yet, im currently on Continental, on Good Mourning and despite Matt sounding a little bored it mostly sounds great. Really tight. But I have heard a lot of complaints, so my opinion may be different with the rest of this record and the others. Quote
Ghost Posted June 3, 2018 Posted June 3, 2018 Overall is good, but I just can't stand that hing Matt does in the end of every single verse on every single song.Annoying as fuck, hahaha. And it's frustrating because, sometimes, he sustains the tone 'til the end of the verse. Quote
Ghost Posted June 3, 2018 Posted June 3, 2018 And it sucks, because on that same tour they performed like this. Which is great. Quote
radioactive tomdog Posted June 4, 2018 Posted June 4, 2018 i started listening to some of these songs out of curiosity and i think the recordings are awful. sounds like they were recorded under water. Quote
Rocky Braveheart Posted June 4, 2018 Posted June 4, 2018 Anyone wanna share any of these? Wanted to buy them at the time but cash was (and still is) super tight Quote
Rocky Braveheart Posted June 4, 2018 Posted June 4, 2018 Didn't think to look there! Cheers bro Quote
Kay Posted June 4, 2018 Posted June 4, 2018 Yeah Good Mourning was mostly okay, although Matt started to sing super lazily towards the end. I started From Here To Infirmary and it was much worse so now I'm not so sure. Quote

Kay Posted June 4, 2018 Posted June 4, 2018 The Poison sounded fucking ace to me, as Dan's voice is tired and raw, gave it even more edge. Fucking love that song. Quote
twentytwenty Posted June 4, 2018 Posted June 4, 2018 I wonder how the recording is going. I loved the last two albums as previously stated, I hope they will continue on that route Quote
