From Here to Infirmary [PA] by Alkaline Trio

Pros: emotional lyrics, upbeat songs
Cons: a lot of the songs sound very similar

The world of pop-punk is very diluted. Every once in a while you’ll come across a very talented pop-punk band that has their own style and are truly talented. This is very rare. Most pop-punk bands are all rip-offs of each other and have a very watered...

Pros: Original sound. Unique emotional lyrics.
Cons: Takes awhile to fully appreciate.

My friend recommended me this CD because it was supposed to be one of the best punk albums in 2001. To be completely honest, the first time I listened to it I didn't like it at all. The songs melted together and nothing really stood out to me, so I...

Pros: good, clean, very melodic with hardcore depth
Cons: not really any

“Vagrant” is defined as “a wanderer”. More familiar to some, “Vagrant” is defined as primarily emo/punk record label. Living up to the name, the Alkaline Trio has wondered onto Vagrant records.
Now mingling with the likes of Saves the Day and the...

Pros: Good high energy music.
Cons: Just as other Vagrant Records artists: can get tiring.

I have been a huge fan of Alk3 for over a year now, and they get better with every album. They are one of the best live bands i have ever seen... Infirmary sounds a little strange at first and is not like many of their other releases. It has a new and...

Pros: Alkaline Trio keep doing great work, great music, vocals, interesting, awesome
Cons: NONE

The Alkaline Trio are one of my favorite bands ever. They have an awesome live show, full of energy and great music. There other releases are great too, and this one doesnt break that record that have had with their past releases.

On From Here...

Pros: The best ALK3 cd to date.
Cons: not alot - unless you don't like bad language

So the Alkaline Trio have been putting out music for the better part of the 90's, most of which is average at best. Sure I got a chuckle out of some of their humorous lyrics, but I found the group to be a little plain. Then one day, my friend pops in...

Pros: Amazing Punk album by an amazing punk band.
Cons: None.

Alkaline Trio are on the verge of breaking through to the punk scene. 'From Here to Infirmary' is most definitely Alkaline Trio's best album yet, containing the hit singles 'Private Eye' and 'Stupid Kid'. Alkaline Trio have used different styles for this...

Pros: Great lyrics, Not the same person singing all the time.
Cons: No major cons

This CD is very upbeat, with great melodies and breaks. The lyrics are the best part about this CD, they are so morbid, yet the music fits them so perfectly. It is also good to see a band with two singers, it keeps the music interesting. There are songs...

Pros: Cathchy songs, great guitar, lyrically sharp
Cons: 'Crawl' the song is not great

I first bought this album after I heard 'private eye' on kerrang and I thouguht it was a brilliant s ...

Pros: Meaningful Lyrics, Everything comes together smoothly!
Cons: May be redundant to the average listener but NOT TO a Pop Punk Fan

The first song I heard off this CD was Stupid Kid. Its very pop punky, catchy and EVERYONE has been a Stupid Kid. Right away I knew I was going to love this CD. Stupid Kid - is that puppy love you have for someone when you are young, then somehow the...

Pros: Catchy songs, two different singers.
Cons: Most of the songs on this CD sound the same.

When I first heard this CD I totally loved it but the fact is, this isn't their best work. The songs are super catchy and if any other band put out this CD I'd think it was amazing but as far as an Alkaline Trio release goes I don't really enjoy it that...

Pros: Wonderfully put together CD
Cons: Nadda

"New Year's Eve was as boring as heaven
I watched flies f--- on channel 11
There was no one to kiss
There was nothing to drink
Except some old rotten milk
Someone left in the sink"
Alkaline Trio - Private Eye

Witty lyrics, a very unique sound. All in all, a wonderful CD. Wearing out mine, listening to it on the bus on the way to school each day to get me good and ready for the Hell ahead of me.

In all seriousness, Alkaline Trio is good music if you're in ANY mood.
