Thrice - Palms (September 14, 2018) Album • Page 315

Stumbling West made me think of Dustin acoustic solo for part of it. I do think it’s cool when the album name gets featured in a song

 

Deeper Wells- It's cool that they went hard with this one, but it's the weakest Palms track in my opinion.

Better Bridge- Really like this one as it reminds me of one of my favorite tracks from TBEITBN, Stay With Me.

In This Storm and Stumbling West and Hold Up a Light are also great.

 

Bridge is a little tougher than Stay With Me, which is why I equate it to Music Box and how the choruses crash after the vocal. But, yeah, same family of Thrice songs. Mid-tempo sing-alongs with a certain power to them.

 

im not dropping deeper wells it may be a top 5 song from all of these

 

playing palms now, knowing i have these 4 other songs makes me appreciate what they did here more.

 

NVM hold up a light is a BANGER

 

Palms would've been praised twofold had they left it all on the field. Giving themselves another payday 6 months later doesn't sit well with me. I understand why they did such a thing, but Palms suffered for it.

 

will help the spotify numbers in 2 months too as well

but who cares bc we still get the music right?

 

I just wanted another sprawling epic to compete with Vheissu.

 

listen to them back to back and there you go!!

 

Here we go again. Lol

 

As much as I love Palms, every single one of these songs is better than "Hold up a Light" and it's not even close. I think they are even better than "A Branch in the River", put these 4 tracks in Palms and it's a classic in my opinion. And holy fuck "Stumbling West", that's all I got to say about that gorgeous jam.

 

Was too sick to go out and see if any of my local record stores had this. Shame :(

 

I feel like we could all have a good discussion on where these songs would fit on the album, I think they would have definitely added some diversity to the album. Not that they are far off from what "Palms" was, but I feel like these 4 tracks would have added diversity.

"Palms" to me is far better than "To Be Everywhere is to be Nowhere", I know there's a lot of people that won't agree, but that's how I feel about the band since Thrice came back together. TBEITBN sounded pretty bland to me, not sure how else to describe it. Even though this band is my absolute favorite, it always takes a bit for me to absolutely adore their albums.

Right now I am a bit tipsy typing on this keyboard, but in a Stumbling West when Dustin sings "And I was born to love you" I tear up, his voice and that emotion he puts through is unmatched. Their albums have given me moments like that throughout my life and that's why I will forever love this band.

I know some of this may seem like random thought rambling, but sometimes it's pretty cathartic to just write shit you're thinking at the moment.

 

2AM with #ABetterBridge

 

This is a correct take. That song sucks ass.

 

False.

 

I like Hold Up a Light, but would’ve been fine with it and Deeper Wells as the b-sides, with the other 3 tracks from this added to Palms for a killer 12-song album.

 

Can’t download the rip til I get home later today but I’m excited to listen. I was able to snag a copy online earlier this morning too, so that redeemed my fruitless trip to the record store yesterday haha.

 

A better bridge, my friends.

What a beautiful song.

 

The best one out of all these tracks.

 

Stumbling West has some Colour Revolt vibes

 

I really dig all four tracks. with Stumbling West being my favorite. I'm hoping we get a slightly louder rip soon, but I can't complain much... I'm just glad I got to hear this!

 

I guess I need to listen to Colour Revolt more then! Someone on here rec'd me them and tbh I kinda forgot to listen to a full album

 

First rip I found was really bad (last 3 tracks were really quiet and not cut in the right place)
