Crimson is great, the first time Is I saw them live was in support of that album. But I really love Good Mourning as well too. Great songs on there! 

The good songs are amazing, but so many songs sound the same. This Could Be Love, We Had Enough and Blue in the Face are great, but the rest can't compare to those.

 

I will rank them all when I've gotten through the disco.

Just in case somebody lost this incredible set.

Great set, Matt looks so cool with those shades on.  Derek Grant is incredible, he has a cool YouTube channel where he posts a lot of behind the scenes studio things and stories. GOATed drummer!  Atom Willard is doing a good job filling it though

[thongrider]

Hot for Preacher would be so much better Without that Terrible guitar riff and whoah ohs, but unfortunately they're there, so song ruined.

[thongrider]

This is how I rank them.

 

1 Goddamnit

2 From Here to Infirmary

3 Maybe I'll Catch Fire

4 Crimson

5 Agony and Irony 

6 This Addiction 

7 Good Mourning 

8 Is This Thing Cursed?

9 My Shame Is true

10 Blood, Hair and Eyeballs

What? Holy molly, man.

Mate, that album is way better than This Addiction and A&I. Well, I guess it's all about taste, but come on... Also, I0m impresset you put BH&E on the last position. I think is one of their bests lately.

Well, at least you agree with Skiba himself, who finds really hard to relisten to Good Mourning.

I thought I was being too nice. This Coulf Be Love, We Had Enough and Blue in the Face are so great they make that album basically. I feel like BH&E is a stronger album if you take away those three songs on GM. This Addiction is a lot better than GM with all its flaws. A&I is pretty much perfect though. Underrated album

It's super hard to pick favorites. But for me Good Mourning, Crimson, From Here to Infirmary and Agony and Irony are my top faves ( in no particular order). So many great songs.  Hell, I was even listening to this nonstop the other day.

Good Mourning is probably the one I've been listening to the most but I can't say which one is my favourite. Some of my favourite Trio songs are on the compilations, like Goodbye Forever, Bleeder, Queen of Pain, Jaked on Green Beers, Warbrain, While You're Waiting, and Fine Without You so Remains probably holds more of my favourite songs than any other record. 

Also kind of insane that this video has been on Youtube for 20 years this december, time flies...

Because Good Mourning is too high?

Great songs! I love all of them. That was a really cool and epic music video. I remember following them on their website looking at the updates they made and the little videos they made while recording Crimson. Good times

Atom just announced he parted ways with the band. I don't see it happening but... It'd be sick if Derek was able to re-join.

[Elisa]

What?? I didn’t see this coming. I wonder what happened. 

[JarJarBlinks]

Atom has always seemed like a weirdo

Looks he quits bands often.

a comment on reddit says:

Very telling that he doesn’t thank Matt or Dan, or anyone else associated with the ALK3 team, or wish them well. Reads like something happened there between him and them.

🧐

[Jan Mortensen]

Yeah wtf definite main character syndrome.

Shame though because I really thought they were putting out good music and drums were kinda perfect.

Yeah. The fact that he never managed to stick around in the bands he was part of for more than a couple of albums says a lot, but then again Matt and Dan are both very easygoing people, so who knows what really happened.
I really liked him and I thought he was here to stay, he also helped soften the absence of my dear Derek, but yeah I think it ended in some drama. 

[thongrider]

I feel like he's a professional musician that changes job often rather than band member or that something bad is up. Greener pastures and all that. I don't really see anything wrong with it.
