Thrice - Horizons / West (October 3rd, 2025) • Page 4

4 albums in a row they’ve released the 2nd song first

 

I'd love to recommend all the albums since (and I do) but if you left off with Alchemy, Horizons/East really is worth a few spins. Some great experimentation musically, and for my money their production has never sounded better.

 

def hit beggars, that is my favorite thrice

 

Here's Eddie's response to a fan who commented that the vocals are too buried in the chorus:

"For what it's worth... it's intentional. Feels better to have the weight of the instruments hit you, instead of a loud vocal burying the heaviness of the part. Truly fun experimenting with this. And we're stoked you care. Thanks for listening."

 

This is just the perfect song for shark week. They really know how to market.

 

I really don't think we properly appreciate just how fortunate we are to have this band in our lives still. Three-decade-long careers rarely happen for blue-collar bands like this. It's fitting that Hot Water Music took them under their collective wing starting out because they've both achieved longevity with the same lineups (minus the additional guitarist HWM added later in their career). Thrice forever.

 

Someone should really tell them “thank you.” Otherwise there could be dire consequences.

 

Thrice’s music is the main reason why they’ve been my favorite band since 2005. But it’s really cool to see them be such awesome people and champions for good causes/social justice/etc.

Bring on H/W

 

Love the new song, the end rips. I heard manchester orchestas bed head at the beginning and it ends there with them. I don't know anything about drumming but it brought me too alexisonfire this could be anywhere in the world. Grungy guitars and drums!

I wonder what they were listening to as they made the record as I think they all listen to a diverse bit of music.. New thrice is always good!

 

I wonder that as well! They are usually pretty quick to talk about their influences, so I hope they share. I remember that being a really cool aspect of the recent Beggars retrospective podcasts.

 

I hear a lot of Cave In

 

if anything, the vocals are buried in the bridge before the breakdown more than anything.
not a complaint, just an observation.
like cindy crawford's face mole.

 

The three circles at the end indicate the existence of Horizons/Weast

 

Hemispheres/North confirmed

 

They should go space rock and make a concept album based on the planets next.

 

I disagree.

they should instead do the 48 remaining states that didn’t get a sufjan album.

 

this mf said stages

 

I missed this thread. Always in for more Thrice.

 

I (regrettably) have not listened to Thrice for a while, I need to catch back up - but this song is so sick. The face I made listening to that ending… whew. Awesome guitar tone.

 

I missed this at the time, but Scott Evans posted a partial look at Thrice's mix notes for /East. Pretty interesting if you ask me. (Skip ahead to the 10th slide.)

 

Sweet. Good find. I hadn't noticed those previously.

The working titles always interest me. "DC Bass" is "Buried in the Sun" I know from an interview Dustin did (and it makes sense from the sound of the song.)

Other titles look to be "Angular", "Bullfighters", "Bishes", "Revolt", and "Grizzly".

"Revolt" is likely something that reminded them of Colour Revolt. I think I saw them mention that about some song somewhere, but I can't think of it... edit: found it; it was "Scavengers".

I wonder if "Angular" is "Northern Lights".

 

Speaking of song titles, I'm just noticing how much these have to do with end of day: Blackout, Dusk, Dark Glow, Crooked Shadows, Distant Suns, Vesper Light...

I didn't necessarily feel H/E lacked cohesion, but I'm optimistic this record will carry a more consistent thread from start to finish. Two more months!

 

I was also thinking that they're light-themed, which is on brand for the band that wrote Hold Up a Light, Northern Lights, Torch to End All Torches, Silhouette, Stare at the Sun, Salt and Shadow, The Dark, etc.

 

That's fair, but my point was more that these clearly have to do with the album title (sun setting in the western horizon) than H/E did. To me, that's more specific than just light in the abstract.
