Representing Chicago dark pop-punksters Alkaline Trio's latest stab at infiltrating the mainstream success of Green Day or the Offspring, BURN is the latest single to be taken from the impressive sounding CRIMSON album.
Nothing too groundbreaking here, a raft of bouncy powerchords and catchy choruses - this is business as usual. Matt Skiba still delivering his trademarked dark lyricism over the usual pop punk moving and shaking. It's the remixes that are the real stars though, Rancid mainman Tim Armstrong's ska tinged makeover injecting fresh life and vigour into proceedings whilst 65 Days Of Static's drum n bass reinvention proves that there's still exciting new directions for both punk and dance left to move in.
In essence, a pretty average sounding single bouyed along by some inspired remixes - BURN proves a worthwhile, if not essential purchase.
