Thrice - Horizons / West (October 3rd, 2025) • Page 21

Caused the van crash. RIP.

 

I was going to say the same thing about Vesper Light. It's not just a good/great song, it's one of the best they've ever written.

Period.

It's that good.

 

Someday he'll be beyond them

 

Killing time by listening to Horizons/East. It’s good.

 

More observations:

Not sure how to say it, but the it’s best they’ve done with electronics imo

Being a Still Life stan- this is hitting everything I want

it’s not necessarily breaking any new ground, but it feels different. Like Thrice in a different filter/lens

I didn’t know I needed a melodic punkier song like hold on from Thrice, but they nailed it.

Albatross is the weak link for me (paint by the numbers Thrice) like the dreamer from H/E, but still find myself humming it

 

To me, Gnash and Albatross are top tier songs.

Both are killer.

 

Scolding take: every song on the album sounds like a Thrice song. Boom.

 

You just brought me back like a whole fucking decade.

 

Best review

 

I need his ear buds. Mine constantly fall out when I’m running

 

This is the review format I never knew I needed.

 

Ok first listen. Holy shit Distant Suns is good. That is my clear cut winner. Top tier Thrice for me. Other non-single standouts were Blackout and Vesper Light. Every song has moments that are interesting and that I’m looking forward to listening to again.

 

The second half of blackout was really unexpected. Sounds like it could’ve been on taita

 

What I adore with Thrice and their records that they are always trying and experimenting with new things meanwhile you can undoubtedly state and hear that it is Thrice to the core. This new record is no exception. They always put out quality music.

 

this is pretty easily my fav thing theyve done tbeitbn, really loving this already

 

Can... can someone at Epitaph press the Bandcamp button now? Ha, YouTube will have to do

 

Bout to start my day and throw this on for the first time then AFI. Then Agriculture. Then

 

Not really ready to share thoughts on this outside of it being the most Vheissu/Alchemy Index sounding album of theirs since, well, those albums. And boy do i love that.

 

I absolutely love this record. As a companion to East, it just enhances it, as a pair they’re tremendous achievements.

 

Just finished through my first listen. The boys are really channeling some otherworldly here. Feels like Vheissu Part 2 in scale and tone, while also feeling like a proper culmination of the journey that began in H/E.

Oh, and everyone talked up Vesper Light so much that I tried not to set my expectations too high, but it absolutely knocked me on my ass in the best way possible. I realized I was getting teary-eyed by the end of the song.

 

Well for me that's way better than their last albums

 

When I first heard Undertow I thought it was a natural heir to something like Digital Sea, even right down to the lyrics: cold water, pull me under

 

This is amazing. Can't wait to do an East/West back-to-back listen later today.

 

Yeah sorry Jason not getting the same feeling at all like a Palms post TBEITBN.
