[W]hat should Alkaline Trio do? Should they step out of their somewhat predicable sound? If Good Mourning is any indication, the answer is "absolutely not." Their sound works, somehow managing to breathe new life into an otherwise stagnant pop/punk genre.

As any Alkaline Trio listener knows, two things they love to write songs about are alcohol and romance. These two topics that go great together are combined on "You've Got So Far to Go," as Dan Andriano sings about how they "talked so much we filled this ashtray twice / and [he's] pretty sure we emptied every bottle in the place."

As great as Alkaline Trio are at relating their booze and blood-spattered lives to listeners, it does get a little tedious. But Skiba and Andriano's interlocking harmonies never flag, and the band's rhythms are just too catchy throughout.

In October of 2006, it was announced that Alkaline Trio had signed with V2 Records [1]. On January 12, 2007, the label announced that they were undergoing restructuring to focus on their back catalogue and digital distribution. As a result, their employees were let go and their roster of artists left as free agents.
