I'm a few weeks behind on my releases, but I got one listen in because it is Thrice. It sounds magnificent. I can't wait to give it more time. Really bummed by the dislike towards Palms. We all have different tastes, but seems to be a low point for most fans. Its not perfect, but it has some truly great songs. Beyond the Pines gets me every time.
I pretty much adore Palms. It isn’t as consistent as this record or Beggars, but I would take Palms over TBE any day.
I love Beggars, but the songs are more traditional format-wise while here they get to be a bit weirder. I was needing weirder Thrice, really bad All Thrice albums are good, I think it's more of a competition than good or bad when discussed haha.
Before I go back and read the entire thread I'm going to just lay down some first impressions... This is the most experimental Thrice have sounded since The Alchemy Index and I'm completely here for it. I'm halfway through my second listen, but man... does every song have such a unique identity. Every single member is on the top of their game and all have incredible stand-out moments across the album. The production is also crystal clear. I think it's the best has band has ever sounded on record. God. This. Is. SO. GOOD.
This wasn't bad. Better than M/M and To Be Everywhere for sure. Probably about the same as Palms in the end.
It's so cool how these dudes have their own recording space again and can do more concocting whenever they want, without having to pay Red Bull Studios $1500 a day.
One go through my first impression is meh, middle of the road type of stuff. I think I like it the best of the post reunion albums, though.
Yeah nothing touches Beyond The Pines for me. But Just Breathe and Blood on Blood are pretty great too. Also love the singles from Palms.
hes not gonna say sike dawg we've been dealing with henrys bullshit opinions for 15 fucking years or some shit love you henry
Riot set: Scavengers Artist All the World is Mad Black Honey Of Dust and Nations In Exile Promises Summer Set Fire to the Rain Hurricane Just Breathe Firebreather The Earth Will Shake Unfortunately we only got Scavengers and Set Fire but they both sound amazing live. Great, great set otherwise, if not fairly basic. I missed them so much.
no offense but i could go for seeing them and not having them play the earth will shake lol. but ive seen them nearly 10 times at this point and theyve played it every time.
i get it, because if i had never seen thrice before and they didnt play the earth will shake my first time, id be pissed
