Agony & Irony

“Alkaline Trio”, a band that I have liked for a few years now is dropping a new CD on Tuesday entitled ‘Agony & Irony’. I had the chance, along with many others through Myspace to listen to it before it comes out. I am thankful I did. I am very much dissappointed by this new album. It seems as though signing to a major label has made this once wonderful band switch gears into the mainstream created genre of Pop-Punk.Â
Don’t get me wrong Pop-Punk isn’t all bad, but it’s just not my cup of tea.
I believe with this album they have lost sight of the band they once were. Or they are starting anew. Either way this is the one album of theirs I will not be buying.
Have you seen any bands go mainstream, or shift musical gears as of late, giving you a feeling of dissappointment?
