I just downloaded that album to give it a listen. My first impression is that it's good, not great. Part of the reason why I like Alkaline Trio is the juxtaposition of the poppy instrumentation with the violent, horror-themed lyrics. When you add dark music to the mix, it loses its charm. It just came off as an homage to bands like Bauhaus and Joy Division - and there's nothing wrong with that. Who knows, it might grow on me.
By the way, is your profile pic from "Army of Darkness?" If so, kudos! Classic movie.
why do you equate a vote for obama as a vote for ones feelings?
@greggorant - because every time i ask someone (including you) about why they are voting for him they always give some jive about how obama makes them feel, and not about any real things that obama fights for (other than fighting for making voters feel good).
