Every time Alkaline Trio come back with a new single
and album I get excited as they have been my favourite
band for the past ten years or so and still continue
to please and surprise me with their music, their
last album ‘Agony And Irony’ was great
and packed with 11 quality songs which all sounding
so different from each other, well 18 months on
and Alkaline Trio are back with their brand new
single ‘This Addiction’ which is taken
from their forthcoming album of the same name which
is due for release on the 23rd February.
Throughout the end of 2009 Alkaline Trio teased
their fans every now and again saying that they
were working on a new studio album and that it
would be a dirty rock album which also featured
their punk rock roots, this had many fans thinking
and hoping that the new album would sound more
like ‘Goddamnit’ than any of their
other material.
Well after listening to the single ‘This
Addiction’ over and over again for the best
part of ten hours now I can confirm to you that
the song sounds nothing like anything from ‘Goddamnit’
and sounds more like their ‘From Here To
Infirmary’ era, from the downright catchy
hooks all the way to the clean cut production,
Derek Grant makes a big impact with his tubtumping
drums beats, Dan Adriano hits off some smooth
sounding bass lines whilst Matt Skiba shines brightly
with his big melodic vocals which draw you into
the song in a massive way.
Overall ‘This Addiction’ has left
me with a smile on my face and yet again left
me hooked on another brand new Alkaline Trio song,
the wait for the new album seems like a long time
away even though it is just 5 weeks away but I
am sure that it is going to be well worth the
wait once it is released if the single release
of ‘This Addiction’ is anything to
go by.
5/5
