Alkaline Trio's melodic, textural, and emotionally intense punk has kept a legion of fans loyal, even as the band has gained increasing commercial success. Pausing at roughly the decade mark of their distinguished career, the band released this very thorough collection of B-sides and other non-album material, complete with lyrics, liner notes, and a terrific DVD compilation of videos, blistering live footage, and behind-the-scenes ephemera.
