Is This Thing Cursed is the 9th album by Chicago's Alkaline Trio. Vocalist - bassist Dan Andriano said the song - writing feels like the old days, and the record will appeal to old - school fans. The lyrics touch on 2016's events like the presidential election and the Fyre Festival, along with internal themes such as depression. The band shows youthful passion, similar to their early works. Must - hear songs are 'Demon and Division', 'Goodbye Fire Island', 'Blackbird', 'Is This Thing Cursed' and 'I Can't Believe'. It comes on an indie - exclusive opaque bone vinyl, and the music label is Epitaph (2018). Reviewed in Japanese in October 2018.
