Thrice - Horizons/East (September 17 digital, October 8 physical) Album • Page 43

I relistened to this album last night and it suddenly clicked with me. I don't know if I was tripping but I was reminded of Shiner / Quicksand / Failure / Hum many times, in the way that it seems to be the spaciest they ever sounded like, while even harking back to their post-hardcore roots here and there. Especially on this song.

It's quite a step up over Palms, and time will tell if I prefer it or TBEITBN, but I'm relieved to hear them release something this good two decades into their career.

 

I think it's mostly Covid, but it's also a Monday night so people aren't traveling from out of town. I caught their Vheissu tour in Columbia on a weekend right before the pandemic, and it easily had 3x the amount of people, even in a smaller city. There's also probably a couple hundred people unvaccinated who would go otherwise, but don't want to go get a negative Covid test. Only like 56% of people aged 18-65 in NC are fully vaccinated, per the Mayo Clinic.

 

Any thought on the change ups to the set list? Looks like they swapped of dust of nations for deeper wells since the shows in Tx. Would personally rather have deeper wells. Also if they could include the vheissu b-sides at the chicago date that would be appreciated.

 

it was also a monday

 

definitely some quicksand and failure

 

Did anyone ever see them on the Bring me the Horizon tours?

 

A lot of this album is reminiscent of Kowloon Walled City. Perhaps not surprising given Scott Evans' involvement and those bands being fans of each others, but it really shows.

 

Guess I should listen to them given the amount of times they've been brought up in this thread.

 

I was just wondering the same thing.

Kowloon Walled City

I guess this is them and an easy place to sample or buy.

 

They have a new album out Friday, with 2 songs from it you can listen to now:

 

incredible band

 

still life def sounds like Kowloon instrumentally at least

 

I hear the instrument similarities. It’s just not Dustin’s voice.

 

Container Ships is an all timer

 

Yeah, I'm glad they swapped out Deeper Wells for Dust. I'm just not big on the former. The outro is kinda cool, but they have too many better songs. Like, imagine having a song as good as The Window and just not playing it.

 

The curse of having too many good songs haha

 

I know this isn’t related to the record but holy fuck, I’m watching the live at HOB DVD again for the first time in a long time rn and forgot how insufferable people yelling Deadbolt / T&C / Phoenix Ignition was lmao

Also pretty sure DK says “Quiet, dude” to a fan right before launching into Hold Fast Hope lol

 

There's also that one spot where Riley says "we're not a jukebox" and Dustin thinks it was someone in the crowd.

 

anyone get quicksand or helmet from buried in the sun too or just me

 

lots of quicksand throughout

not getting helmet so much though

 

Love Ed.

 

My first few spins I felt the front half of this record was absolutely stacked. But the back half is growing on me like crazy. Still Life -> The Dreamer -> RSE -> Dandelion Wine is currently my favorite run of songs on here.

 

not feeling like ill want to return to this much
