Album 914
Alkaline Trio - Good Mourning
Year: 2003
Sometimes you get in the mood for that familiar embrace of turn of the millennium pop punk. I was never really one for Blink-182, or MCR or the heavier emo bands, there's still time I suppose. But what I am familiar with is AK's fourth studio album, like almost everything of this genre (and pop in general I suppose) familiarity improves the listening experience but this had enough to hook me on the first listen all those years back. Make no mistake, this is not mindblowingly amazing music, but let's not pretend that everything has to be all the time. Take it for what it is, a fun ride that definitely deserves a spin.
3 Choice Tracks: This Could Be Love, All On Black, Donner Party (All Night)
