Is This Thing Cursed? marks Alkaline Trio’s return after a five-year hiatus, reuniting the Chicago punk stalwarts for their ninth studio album. Produced by Cameron Webb and released by Epitaph in 2018, this album delivers a punchy blend of introspective lyrics, anthemic choruses, and the band’s signature gritty energy. From moody, bass-driven verses to explosive, full-band moments, Alkaline Trio brings both nostalgia and newfound urgency to their sound.
This special release features highlights like the haunting dynamics of “Demon and Division” and the relentless drive of “I Can’t Believe,” as well as uniquely collaborative vocals from Matt Skiba and Dan Andriano. The record captures the band’s raw emotion and comeback spirit, making Is This Thing Cursed? an essential listen for both longtime fans and those discovering Alkaline Trio’s compelling blend of rock and punk.
