Thrice - Palms (September 14, 2018) Album • Page 376

Riley's drumming, in general, is great, but I absolutely love his work on Beggars. The Great Exchange is a perfect example. Also very into his work on All The World Is Mad, Circles, and Wood And Wire.

 

And like Dog said earlier, the outro to Wood and Wire was incredible. Circles was the same way.

 

Holy fuck lol

 

Riley hasn’t always impressed me on like a level of intricacy I guess but man that dude is a human metronome. He’s always on point

 

Damn, I think his style became more intricate and much more interesting starting with The Alchemy Index.

 

yeah riley is great, wild take

 

I’m complimenting him

 

Yeah but you took too many words to do it, idiot

 

As a drummer, if someone called me a “human metronome” I guess that’s cool, but it sounds weird and, to me, implies boredom. Drums are recorded to a metronome anyway. That’s the drummer’s job - to keep the beat, so it’s not really much of a compliment because you might as well be saying “I’m not always impressed with his playing, but at least he does his job.”

 

Anyway, here’s a live video of the Beggars show. Poor quality, but not awful.

 

Now that I think of it, yeah, fuck off @Dog with a Blog

can’t believe you’d so blatantly and purposefully insult my boy Riley like that

 

Ikr

 

I filmed the full show for those who weren't able to be there. Don't worry, I didn't hold my camera up like a jerk. Had a good spot on a higher tier and just kept it in front of my chest while I enjoyed watching the show. Quality is a little low on video since I was decently far back, but I think the sound is decent for a live recording on an older cell phone. Enjoy!

 

EDIT: Oh, "Circles" sounds goooooood.

 

THANK YOU

i was sooo cloooose to goin to this show, but alas, it didn't happen.
sound quality is great tho. especially after converting it into mp3 and raising the volume levels on audacity.
once i get the time to play with it some more it'll make a nice bootleg album.
...in the meantime. (unless/until the band released this as a live cd/download.)

 

UK hardcore band Palm Reader doing a pretty faithful rendition of Circles:

 

Damn and Conjurer

 

I think the EP is split between Conjurer and Palm Reader, but the Thrice cover is by the latter.

 

I’m ready to say Palms is better than TBEITN. Just feels like a healthier variety of songs. And Hold Up The Light gets a lot of hate here but it fucking slaps

 

Hold Up a Light isn’t nearly as bad as people make it out to be.

 

Everything Belongs is easily my least favorite track from Palms.

 

I think I’m with you there. As for Hold Up a Light, I feel that It does the straight rock thing better than most of their other recent material. I prefer thrice a little more experimental but I can’t deny they nailed a lot of the more straight forward stuff on the last two albums.

 

honestly don't really care for either album. the most recent one that i go back to with any sort of regularity is beggars.

 

Of course Beggars is their best album.
