A.V. Club: Best of the Decade

Artist Alkaline Trio

  • Cindy Frey
Alkaline Trio’s third album, 2001’s From Here To Infirmary, indicated an extremely bright future for the band, though years later, the big time remains just steps away. The group is out behind 2008's Agony & Irony, another strong addition to its already solid canon of heavily melodic, hook-laden punk rock. While it doesn’t exactly push the band into new territory, Agony delivers a punchier and just-new-enough variation on established Alkaline formula; whether that will continue to cut it in the long run is another matter entirely.
