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

I like giving these guys money so i went pink deluxe

 

simp

 

Art direction is incredible. I have a profound respect for Thrice as a band. Conceptually I love their ethos I wish I connected with the music more. It’s all incredible but I have never found myself revisiting their work a ton.

 

Incredible song, goddamn

 

Thanks! One benefit to a closer look: there are definitely a few lyrical snippets visible on that overview as well. Not much but fun to get a glimpse.

 

As usual not fully sold on the first listen, specially the way Dustin comes in against the main riff, but feeling it more now.
On headphones, I noticed the drums are all over the place in a good way. I mean - starting off with a quick beat, then slow and heavy, then sixteenths on the hi hats, and finishing with Riley's first double kick playing since... TAITA?? Holy cow.
The sludgiest part also reminds me of some of the heavier music recommendations Riley usually shares (edit: now saw first page mentioned KWC).

I always get nervous if I'm going to like it, and always end up loving each album as a whole even when I might have a few songs that are my least favorite. Best news all day.

Also - when you have a song called Undertow, I can't help having high expectations and no idea what it's going to sound like haha.

 

Between this and Horizons / East I feel like Riley has been doing some really cool/new things on the drums. Some more tasty groovy parts

 

Very cool.

 

Great now we have to deal with sun slides

 

Song rocks, especially the outro

 

This is the dude from the Scavengers video.

 

Really love the song. Love that they’re just doing what they want. It doesn’t give “first hooky single” just a tad ripper track.

 

This rules. Even more happy I grabbed a deluxe.

 

Deluxe packaging is cool, but I still went with the Epitaph orange variant. Can't justify an extra ~$15 for just aesthetic stuff at the moment.

Gnash might be my favorite Thrice single since the To Be Everywhere... cycle.

 

Gnash rips hard.

 

I can't get it out of my head. I haven't really been following these guys since really the Alchemy Index. That might change with this album.

 

he did a more detailed "making of" on another instagram post, you should check it out if you haven't yet!

 

drool.

Woulda bought because Thrice are a "no questions asked, no song needed, buying day one" kind of band for me, but this makes me feel better about spending "extra" for sure, especially when really really really trying not to spend so much on vinyl.

 

I love Gnash because it’s continuing to do what East did imo with experimentation

 

Not going to lie, I wasn't super hot on the song when I first heard it, but it's been stuck in my damn head since. Now I am trying to stay away from it so I don't wear it out.

 

Yeah, it also feels spiritually connected to Dead Wake and Open Your Eyes, which makes sense since those songs were originally meant for /West.

 

maybe I'll give the song another try

 

Definitely succeeds at being a continuation of H/E. Also reminds me of the jammiest stuff from M/m, like Blur and Cataracts. And then with the chugs bit at the end it conjures Fire or earlier stuff. This song feels like them being very true to their core sounds to me.

 

I liked this song on first listen and it keeps growing on me. Badass first single.

 

Same!
