Because of Skiba’s prominence in Alkaline Trio it’s obvious that his solo effort is bound to have quite a few similarities in sound. His dark, depressing lyrics and usual guitar tones are still here, but there are also some distinct differences that play a strong role in the album. Besides, if you like Alkaline Trio then you’ve got nothing to complain about if  Babylon sounds similar. It’s still a solid album on its own merit….
