Thrice - Horizons / West (October 3rd, 2025) • Page 11

Some nice little nuggets coming out of the thrice FB group about the record that have it early, won’t post screenshots since it’s a private group but some of the tidbits include:
-Vesper Light is 10/10, up there as one of their favorite thrice songs ever

-Crooked Shadows is a faster pace song

-Couple tracks reminding them of Alcchemy Index

-mix of everything you love about thrice

-Most atmospheric moments from the band

-Mellow atmospheric song (in vein of open water

 

how did anyone get it this early??

 

They are a podcaster- sounds like they are doing an interview with someone in the band.

 

welp, I'm out of here until I can listen to it myself.

 

I’m sorry, I should have spoiler tagged it. Edited my post

 

Love all of that

 

Don’t read Rickey!

 

I'll be intrigued to hear that conversation! Would love another good interview or two before the record's out, but we're a mere 3 weeks and 3 days away, in any event.

 

I loved reading some of the hype so far! I can't wait to hear this thing, also hopefully @Jason Tate posts some first impressions on the album like back in the absolutepunk days

 

An interview??? In this, the year of our Lord 2025??? Shall they conduct it via telegram?

 

Hey, a geriatric needs something to go along with the morning bran flakes and prune juice.

In my day, we used to tune the dial to Music TeleVision to view ye old music videos.

 

Ha! As long as they send me a copy...

 

This must be a newly discovered ancient codex of some sort.

ISSUE 78 - THRICE

 

Love Albatross, Gnash is okay.

Never seen these guys live and just got tickets. I slept on a lot of their stuff to be honest - very surprised at how experimental some of the albums are. I've ran through just about everything the past week and dig most of it.

No idea what they typically play live and if there's any albums / songs that they avoid.

 

Great choice to see them live! They're not very chatty between songs but they absolutely crush it whenever I've gone.

They don't play a ton from before Artist these days, and Major/Minor and Palms don't seem to come into the rotation often. If you're trying to get familiar with what they'll play I'd go by recency and then give Vheissu a few extra spins.

I wouldn't put much stock in 2020, 2022, 2023, or 2024, because in each of those years they were performing an entire album in full regularly, or gearing up to do so - Vheissu in 2020, Illusion in 2022, Artist in 2023, & Beggars in 2024.

I think I've seen them seven times after the hiatus. Songs they've consistently played in recent years would include Artist in the Ambulance, Of Dust and Nations, The Earth will Shake, The Long Defeat, Hurricane, Summer Set Fire to the Rain, & Beyond the Pines.

 

They will play Black Honey, for sure.

 

New interview containing some nice insights on the writing process is up:

 

Where's my telegram?!

Ha, thanks for posting.

 

That was a fine Q&A but I don't think it had much to do with the new record, apart from what they've been listening to recently.

 

Almost two weeks away! Also close to 4 weeks until vheissu turns 20 crazy how fast time goes by

 

cannot wait for this - their post-hiatus run has been incredible

 

The wait killing me! I think we will get one more song, the week of

 

Here is somewhat of a review (if you can call it that): Review

Maybe the embargo will lift soon.
