Favorite ALK3 Album

[TheZeroKid]

In honor of me officially getting back into the entire Alkaline Trio discography, I'm making a poll in the same vein of my other "Favorite Album" polls (TREOS, Metallica, Thrice, et.c). This might become a regular thing. So, which is it?

[OKComputer1016]

this is awesome! people are voting for good mourning like they should be! this feels like an argument i always lose...

[TheZeroKid]

Yeah I've always heard that Goddamnit is their best. Pardon the pun, but I "Cringe" every time I hear it.

[OKComputer1016]

haha i still really like it, but definitely Good Mourning and Crimson are tops

[crypticv24]

I picked Agony and Irony. It was really tough to choose it over Crimson (and tough to choose Crimson over Good Mourning), but for whatever reason A&I hit me exactly right, even if I can't figure out what the hell that reason is.

[Goat01]

Good Mourning.
With Maybe I'll Catch Fire a very close second.

[darkmartheight]

from here to infirmary.

i love all their albums so fucking much.

fhti has the most sentimental value though

[Alex DiVincenzo]

Hard, but Goddamnit

[Anthony Lutz]

Good Mourning.

[phil19]

Yeah I've always heard that Goddamnit is their best. Pardon the pun, but I "Cringe" every time I hear it.

are you serious? good work with the pun btw =P
i love this album. i think its my favourite. though it did take me acouple spins to fully appreciate it. this is my fav album by my absolute all time fav band. how can you go past nose over tail, as you were, message from kathleen, enjoy your day, trouble breathing. i could basically list that whole album haha. so many good songs. i love goddamnit.

[midtown4657]

how the hell is goddamnit not running away with this poll. or even competing for that matter. i'm genuinely surprised. i voted for infirmary because i figured it'd be the underdog. but i'm pretty sure i like goddamnit more now that i really think about it. wow. this is such a tough poll. have people just not heard goddamnit or something?

i was expecting the same thing. i thought it would miles ahead. turns out its down the bottom. who wouldve known. this album is so good.

[singyoutocoma]

FHTI is still my favorite record.

[IATA4224]

Good Mourning is my personal favorite... I do truly think it is their best release so far.. The last two discs were sub-par in my opinion

[yourprivateeye]

maybe i'll catch fire, with from here to infirmary second.

[coltenTALK]

Good Mourning for sure.

[looksthatkillbn]

from here to infirmary is really good, but their best, without question, is goddammit. not even close. i cannot believe i was only the eighth fucking vote for goddammit. a travesty. seriously. clavicle? southern rock? sorry about that? i can't see how it's losing, let alone losing so handily.

EDIT: by the way, i haven't listened to anything after crimson, because crimson was such complete trash that i have no interest in new alk3

remains has got some good quality older songs on it. most notably, for me anyway, is hell yes and queen of pain.

[gpfs7]

look at the ages of everyone on this site or posting in this thread, was there any doubt that good mourning was going to win? all the goddammit and maybe ill catch fire fans or all 24-28 now

[LongDistanceDrunk]

Goddmammit and Self Titled and my two faves. I still think they don't have a bad album.

[nonamesleft]

Maybe I'll catch fire, of course.

[Co and Ca]

Maybe I'll Catch Fire. For damn sure. That CD still sounds as fresh as it did when I first heard it.

[KyleMcr]

Wow, surprised at the lack of love for goddamit...

Goddammit > Good Mourning > From Here to the Infirmary > Maybe I'll Catch Fire > Agony & Irony > Crimson

[recall reality]

I'll go with Maybe I'll Catch Fire, not a moment on that album that I don't enjoy. Basically, any of the first four. I'll never get the Good Mourning love.

[Scott Farcas]

for all the new fans go out and buy goddamnit! you will think its their best cd hands down!

[kolby182]

wow, i didn't expect infirmary to win. and really didn't expect good mourning to come in second.

[caLLmEnOoNe]

agony and irony

[dubey]

It's funny because I read an article in a magazine recently saying Alk3 were disappointed with how Good Mourning turned out and immediately started writing for Crimson when they finished it.

I voted From Here to Infirmary.

[KyleMcr]

How does Crimson have more votes than Goddammit??

[phil19]

who knows. sometimes the world makes no sense

[AbeLurkin]

i'm part of that giant crowd who likes their biggest album.

[showyourteeth]

from here to infirmary
easy

[weworemasks]

fhti. can't believe crimson has as many votes as GD. for shame. i've taken shits more entertaining than crimson.

[Twizx]

Everything went downhill after from here to infirmary, I used to really like this band.

[RetardedInLove]

Goddamnit! by far. That's not to say that I don't like the other ones (the only one I really dislike is Agony & Irony) but no other album of theirs captures the energy that Goddamnit has. It is truly a classic.

I'm 26, and I voted for FHTI which is surprisingly running away with this poll. It was a tough choice between FHTI and Maybe I'll Catch Fire. I also think I'm one of the few original ALK3 fans that like the new sound. Crimson and Agony & Irony are both solid releases IMO. I think Good Mourning gets so much love because for most people it was the first time they had mass mainstream exposure to Alkaline trio. That was almost 7 years ago now so most of the kids that heard it when it came out aren't exactly young anymore. I assumed the newest albums would get the most love in the poll as they've been ALK3 best selling albums by far

goddamnit doesnt matter?


i have all there cds... and i never got into it and im not a fan of it


so i take it back... it doesnt matter to me

[fishingthe_sky]

I went for FHTI, but I, like many others, am shocked at how low the scores are for everything prior to it. IMO, Alk3 peaked at FHTI and have been on a downward trajectory ever since. Good Mourning was alright, but Crimson and A&I are just lackluster and tired. I mean, Skiba can't even yell anymore.

[SeanEBoy2686]

while there isn't a bad Alk3 album, my choice is From Here To Infirmary... but I also think I could chose Good Mourning... those two are my favorites without any doubt

[Goat01]

1. Maybe Ill Catch Fire
2. Good Mourning
3. Goddamnit
4. From Here to Infirmary
5. Self-Titled
6. Remains
7. Agony & Irony
8. Crimson
