 (8 Customer Reviews)
Though most of the songs on the Alkaline Trio's GOOD MOURNING don't seem to be literally about death, titles like "Fatally Yours" and "All On Black" (not to mention the pictures of crosses and white lilies that adorn the disc's packaging) suggest a rather fatalistic listening experience. In this case, first impressions are only partly accurate. Over the course of a half-dozen solid albums, the Alkaline Trio has positioned itself as a kind of anti-Blink 182; sonically, the band deals in the same stripped-down vocal harmony-laden pop-punk, but trades the lyrical frat boy frivolity for stark, serious ruminations on interpersonal relationships' most angst-ridden moments. Here, the trio continues to refine its approach, delivering every tune with a single-minded earnestness that practically defines the emo-core aesthetic.
2003 album produced by Jerry Finn (AFI, Green Day, Blink 182), the band has delivered another slice of dark, ominous punk rock with the signature trio lyrics. 12 tracks packaged in a Digipak. Vagrant.

Rolling Stone (5/29/03, p.62) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...There's enough murder and mayhem to satisfy any SCARFACE groupie..."
Spin (6/03, pp.99-100) - "...Their best by a mile..." - Grade: A-r
Entertainment Weekly (6/20/03, p.73) - "...At a time when most emo-core blandly follows a mall-rat-shallow blueprint, Alkaline Trio provide some much-needed counterpoint. Black humor never sounded so sweet..." - Rating: B+
CMJ (5/26/03, p.6) - "...The self-deprecating humor and Warped Tour cynicism that helped solidify the Alkaline Trio's entree into poppy melodicism intermingle for another 12 bleak odes, distinguished by reverberating guitar lines and, yes, even chimes..."
Kerrang (Magazine) (p.53) - "Blood-soaked poetry, relationship trauma and delicious melodies all set alongside each other..."
Mojo (Publisher) (7/03, p.108) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...The Alkaline Trio have delivered an album offering far more than the pink blush of awkward adolescence..." Alkaline Trio Good Mourning Songs Good Mourning Music Review Average Rating: (4.5 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews MUST HAVE!
No matter who you are, and what you listen to, this is a CD must have. Every single song on this CD is unique and amazing. It's nothing like anything I've heard before. It's hard to name the best song. I love them all!

 What more like Blink or Mest
This is an essential Alkaline Trio must have. Thats right Alkaline Trio NOT BLINK OR MEST, thay are not like blink nor would I imagine they want to be like those sellouts. Don't get me wrong Blink still produces some good songs, but nothing like the oldschool blink I used to hear. So if you want a band like Blink or Mest just stick to MTV, and be told what you want to hear like that other guy.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No alkaline trio- one of the best
this band has it all, what else can i say. they have a great singer with a great voice, even though it sounds a little different this time around. they also have great guitar rythems that you just have to listen to over and over again with ill lyrics. ive seen this band live, and they were the best at warped tour..if you somehow have not heard of alkaline trio, shame on you and buy this cd!

Never heard of them. Visited a friend who recommended the "Good Mourning" album. Listened to it and liked it alot...listened to it a second time. Then I went out and bought it at Tower Records.
Amazingly, two others were talking about this group when I reached over to pick up a copy...and yes, they each bought a copy.
This group is here to stay.

Satellites of Love far from Retreat“The oddly named ‘The Satellite Program’ give the impression that the record is a synthesizer based band prog-rock trip. But far from it, The Satellite Program write and play clever pop music, and it’s very good.The band is made up of Mark Malone (singer, songwriter), Chris Ferreira (guitar, solos), Don Anderson (bass) and Marc Winters (drums). Listed on their influence radar are Neil Young, Teenage Fanclub, and My Morning Jacket. In addition Malone lists some brilliant but little known influences such as the excellent Jon Brion and Chris Stamey plus some of the usual suspects.For the most part the record was recorded in a small basement room in Seattle, ‘with maybe $2000 worth of recording equipment’. The record began as an EP with a zero-budget, and benefits from a wider choice of songs than the usual 4-5 songs EP. On ‘Red Roses in the Snow’ lead guitarist Ferreira is given ample time to stretch out with some fine solos. What makes this record stand out is the songwriting quality; Malone writes astute lyrics with strong melodies.Malone spent some of his formative years listening to ‘angry young Brits’, and despite this has the knack of writing catchy pop songs, which was the last thing angry young Brits produced.The Satellites deserve a much wider audience - simple as that.†-- Americana UK"This Seattle band has kind of slipped under the radar, but they have an excellent sound that falls somewhere between straight-ahead power pop and americana/alt-country. This is apparent right off the bat with "Laugh When You Tell Me", which jangles with enough grit to please fans of both genres. Other highlights include the rocking "Inside Man", the midtempo "Rollaway", "Red Roses In The Snow", and the moody ballad "Western Electric" (a great song title for this band's sound). You can listen to the whole thing at their official site, and grab it at CD Baby. Check it out." -- Absolute Powerpop"The Satellite Program is a power pop-alt country styled group with real DIY spirit and feel to the music. Some really great guitar noodling and melodies that sound like a marriage of The Old 97's and The Grateful Dead meets Kenny Howes. More than a few tunes are shining through here; notable are "Coin-Op Proxy" and "Inside Man." Singer/songwriter Mark Malone does a good job of adding some feeling to his lyrics and it complements the guitar work ...
