 Mourning Mourning
It is an ongoing embarrassment to the American theatre that one is distinctly more likely to see major revivals of American classics in London than in New York.
Thus one of the major offerings in the winter 2003-4 season of the British National Theatre is Eugene O'Neill's epic Mourning Becomes Electra, playing in the Lyttleton from November 17, 2003 to January 31, 2004.
But frontloading Mourning Becomes Electra with one's strongest actors, one of whom appears only in the first play of the trilogy and the other only in the first two, is almost a recipe for a disappointing arc in production.

I don't think Alkaline Trio are in danger of that-- their sound follows the same course that will appeal to certain listeners who appreciate and like the genre-- but I do have to say they have become more listenable throughout the years.
It seems like each of their albums they come out with is progressively improving upon the last one, and indeed, many of the corresponding track numbers on this cd and the last are very similar songs.
Good Mourning is the bands attainment of perfection, or at least what we think that is for them until their next album comes out, and is and even better facsimile/improvement of the tone of this album.
