5.0 out of 5 stars Goddamnit...back from the dead, April 10, 2008

Pay the money. Buy the CD. You know you want to.

And I know you should. This reissue of "Goddamnit" is by far my wisest purchase of the year and the best Alkaline Trio disc released since its original issue. That's not to downplay every other gem they've recorded, it's just so, so hard to improve upon perfection.

And that's what this is. The original recording has been remastered beautifully. Everything is crisp and clear and perfect in every way. Even if you already own the original, get this one. On top of the original tracks, this one includes four others, including "Weak Week," an earlier version of "Nose Over Tail," an early version of "Ninety-Seven," and "Sundials." These four songs, all done "Goddamnit" style, are well worth the cost of the disc.

As a bonus, this release comes with a DVD documentary. It chronicles the band's early years and gives a point by point breakdown, as well as early live performances, of most of the songs on the disc. Matt, Dan, and Glen (and some other key players) take the viewer on a guided tour of the Trio's roots. The extras on the DVD give a live performance of the entire CD by the band's current lineup as seen on the Occult Roots tour. So, you get to see every song performed by the band in 1998 and again by the band as it currently exists. In addition to all of that, you can get a look at the band's old Chicago haunts. This DVD is far superior, both in quality and information, than The Show Must Go Off DVD and the Remains DVD.

Go buy it. If you're a fan, you need it. If you've never heard the band before, start at the beginning.

It sounds fantastic. I was listening to the original right before I made the purchase! I've always preferred their eponymous album over Goddammit, honestly, but this is definitely a close second. As for the remaster, in particular...I mean...well...Weak Week. What more do you need, really?

Love the Trio. Love'em. I learned more about this legendary album and the band than I ever knew thanks to this documentary.
