Goddamnit is the debut album by American punk rock band Alkaline Trio, released October 13, 1998, through Asian Man Records.
The album cover has 3 red alarm clocks, each set at 6:00, representing 666. "I used to set my alarm clock when I was a bike messenger to 6 o'clock in the morning, and when the alarm clock would go off, the first word out of my mouth was always 'Goddamnit!'", says Matt Skiba.[1]
As of 2008, Goddamnit has sold 94,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.[2] Mike DaRonco of AllMusic called Goddamnit "hands down the perfect listening in the wake of a broken heart" and remarked that "It's rare that a band such as Alkaline Trio can make love songs appealing without being labeled as 'wimpy' or 'generic', and Goddamnit is the record to erase those labels."
