I'd wonder if its actually "most". seems to me they really hit hard on the scene with Artist.. maybe thats bc thats the album I found them on.
might be in the minority, but outside of seeing the video for "Stare At The Sun" on TV, Vheissu was my true introduction to Thrice, and I still spin the album every once in awhile. Definitely in my top 10 favorite albums of all time. Outside of the Fire EP, nothing else of theirs has really stuck with me that well.
Comparing Illusion to anything but where we were as listeners, and where they were as artists is lame. Obviously they are better musicians and artists. We've grown with them.
I want 10 albums that sound like Deadbolt This band is a bunch of cheap sell outs that just play songs like The Grey to pay the bills. Thrash metal/post hardcore or don't touch your instrument
I love it all. I got in with Vheissu and went backwards, was so surprised they were so heavy because I had only heard Stare at the Sun prior. Illusion and IC took longer for me to get into because of the production, but there are some really amazing songs on there.
How about TBEITBN (2016), PALMS(2018), and a future album we don’t know about yet? What if this is the best era of Thrice? It’s probably the one ending in beggars though.
Vheissu, TAI and Beggars defined what Thrice truly is. Those records still influence the records they're making now. TAITA does not. But, I get why people love TAITA, especially if it was their point of entry.
