Crimson is the best next step for Alkaline Trio. It keeps Good Mourning’s blacks and reds and crack melodic sense. But it’s also much more accessible with it’s measured aggression, rich piano (courtesy of Jellyfish and studio veteran Roger Manning), and production from Jerry Finn, who’s worked with blink-182 and the very-relevant-to-Alkaline Trio Jawbreaker. Like those groups Alkaline Trio has grown away from punk-pop; they’ve grown up. On 1998’s Goddamnit!, Matt Skiba and Dan Andriano let out rowdy ‘woah-woahs’ and wished things like ‘I wanna wake up naked next to you.’ But then that happened, and the other side of the bed wasn’t as pretty. By Mourning they were dealing with death metaphors and painful levels of self-medication. Crimson has a similar sense of emotional brokenness, but things never get so heavy that you’ll need the goth eyeliner – the album’s pop sense glimmers steadily beneath it’s dour shroud. ‘Poison’ and ‘Time to Waste’ downshift into powerful choruses despite lines about dead eyes and meaninglessness, ‘Mercy Me’ and ‘Dethbed’ rock self-hate and cynicism over propulsive beats, and ‘Prevent This Tragedy’ incorporates a keyboard descent that’s a perfectly pretty foil for a line like ‘The flames of hell they give me hope.’
