Doing what? Trying to make casual conversation with my fellow thriceans while we await the next release? Shame on me.
"Whistleblower" still sticks in my head the longest after revisiting TBE. I wasn't crazy about the song at first, but it's grown on me more than any other track.
It's saddly one of my least favorites from the album. The outro is cool, but reminds me of Dust of Nations sorta.
I didn't like it at first because of the 'Nations' of it all. But, once I let that go, I've come to embrace the song for what it is. Catchy vocals. Cool outro, indeed. It doesn't 'break new ground,' but I never skip it like I do 'Sand.'
Oh I still like the song fine, but it's not my go to song on the album like Black Honey, Hurricane, Long Defeat, Stay with Me, Window or Death from Above.
Same. The guitar parts on that one are so good (still not a big fan of the guitar mixes on that album in general, though). I think right after the album came out my favorites would have been something like: 1. Long Defeat 2. Stay With Me 3. Hurricane but now its 1. Whistleblower 2. Hurricane 3. The Window=Blood on the Sand 4. Long Defeat Also love Sea Change so much.
I hated Stay With Me on first listen, thought it killed the momentum of the album. It’s ok now, but yeah could have been saved for the next Kensrue album.
Hurricane, The Window, The Long Defeat, Death From Above, and Whistleblower are my top 5. Stay with me is towards the bottom for me sadly.
