Agony & Irony, Alkaline Trio's sixth studio album and their major-label debut, came out on Epic on July 1, 2008, and it's the Chicago band at their glossiest. Josh Abraham produced it, and he pushes further down the road Crimson opened up, piling on overdubs and extra instrumentation until the old basement punk has been buffed to an arena shine.
The core is still there: Matt Skiba and Dan Andriano trading lead vocals, one on guitar and one on bass, with Derek Grant pounding away behind them, and the hooks are as massive and sing-along as ever. "Help Me" was the single that heralded the album, and "Over and Out" is a big, bittersweet singalong built for shouting from the back of the room.
