Alkaline Trio

贝斯:Daniel Andriano,Matt Skiba在97年的时候是一个送信员,是纯正的工人阶级,有一天突然醒悟,不愿意再向这样生活浪费时间,因而和另外两个人商量做Punk音乐(3位成员是很早就认识的老朋友了),他们想要把自己的音乐做成热情的地狱和通俗的天堂,Matt Skiba也放弃了做鼓手的想法转而开始学习吉他(没办法,有冲突啊),后来签约了vagrant公司,陆续发行了个人的第一张专辑Goddamnit和第二张Maybe I'll catch fire,LGoddamnit诞生了一首Punk经典曲目Nose Over Tail,而Maybe I'll catch fire则诞生了史上最出名的专辑的封面之一,3人的姿势和穿作和背景让人觉得很恐怖(其实Alkaline Trio的专辑封面一向如此,都是阴森恐怖的,连官网都如此),这两张专辑在市面上引起了很大的反响,Alkaline Trio迅速成为世界上知名的Punk乐队.

2003年他们发行了Good Mourning专辑,
All of Alkaline Trio's records are similar, and in my opinion each one gets better. This record is extrordinarily like their last one, From Here to Infirmity, but much improved. It seems like each of their albums they come out with is progressively improving upon the last one, and indeed, many of the corresponding track numbers on this cd and the last are very similar songs. Good Mourning is the bands attainment of perfection, or at least what we think that is for them until their next album comes out, and is and even better facsimile/improvement of the tone of this album. With this record it seems the band arrived at a spot musically that they were destined to come to ever since their begginings. Good Mourning is is a sad, beautiful, catchy, deathly, and nostalgic record. It epitomizes that small genre or theme that is embodied by a handful of albums (and a few other pieces of art), the same one the Smashing Pumpkins did- or at least with Melancholy and the Infinite Sadness: the nightime-esque, slightly dark but not completely gothic, slightly fantasty-like but not to the point of of full fledged elves, dwarves, wizards Lord of the rings fantasty. The art that conjures up images of night and death and sadness wrapped up beautifully. Melancholy and the Infinite Sadness is probably the piece of art that most directly tried to embody this idea, but I would say that with Good Mourning Alkaline Trio's dark sound has finally matured and became what the band realy is, and is one of the best examples of this nameless genre. It is also a little bit of a concept album in the way all the tracks are so thematically similar. i would say that this record best sums Alkaline Trio up as a band. They were always a dark and morbid group, and they had Great songs in the beginning of their career like Radio, but it seems like those songs were just skirking the edges and slowly but determinedly climbing up to the feeling they acheive with Good Mourning. If you know what I mean about the nightime-esque sub-fantasy sub-gothic tone and are a fan of other bands that (at least partially) emdody this, like Hole(with the exception of their first cd which was more direct screaming grrl punk) and AFI, you will absolutely fall in love with this Album. It is the kind of record you can listen to over and over again. Some people complain that it is over produced, but i think the production suits the sound perfectly and greatly improved and enhances the album as a whole (listen for the brief chimes/bells/sound effects or whatever the hell they are during track 8). Their is also some slight criticism of them for having a more polished sound since they are considered a punk band, but their sound is different than more choppy generic punk bands like Ten Foot Pole and that is why they are so unique. And on the other hand they sound is still infinitely harder than all these neo-punk bands like New Found Glory and Simple Plan and Yellowcard so. Anyway, I was actually surprised that they chose track 2 to be the first single and video, but i bet thats just because the album has so many great songs. The only song im really not that keen on is number one- This Could Be Love (except for the end of it which i love), it seems to the weak track of the album and also slightly different than all of the others, which is strange considering it is the first song, but i also found that to be the case with Private Eye on From Here To Infirmary. But anyway, this is one of those Cd's you fall in love with and listen to over and over and over. I first got into it while traveling in Norway two summers ago and listend to it the whole time i was there, and every time i listen to it now it reminds me of my trip. It is a beautiful artistic acheivement and a wonderful emdodiement of the aforementioned "genre".
然后Aamzon上的官方评论是这张专辑风格大变,变的严谨和正式,专辑的封面立刻又成为Punk史上的经典,甚至比之前的Maybe I'll catch fire都要经典,其实,他们每张专辑的封面都值得你珍藏!
对于中国的摇滚迷来说,知道Alkaline Trio一定都是因为他们那著名的反战斗争,基本上无论什么反战的东西他们都要参与,很多合辑里面都有Alkaline Trio这个名字,离现在最近的应该就是滚石组织的一次摇滚反布什的斗争吧,呵呵.
Alkaline Trio风格的衣服很有名哦,在世界上!他们在世界上都很知名,只是中国差点点!
