Their Remains thing that they put out is something I'll recommend to anyone. Great stuff.

'Hell Yes', 'Metro', 'Rooftops', and most especially of all 'Old School Reasons' are all excellent tracks and it blows my mind that they were b-sides and such...
Alkaline trio really is a great fun band....and i agree that their cover of "Metro' is almost better than the original, it honestly blew me away how good it was...and how that song fit perfectly as a 'punk' song....i have to say that i prefer the self titled "collection" over 'Remains'...mainly for 'Bleeder', My Friend Peter', and their cover of "The Exploding Boy'...they have written some of the greatest hurt boy music
