Thrice - To Be Everywhere Is To Be Nowhere (May 27, 2016) Album • Page 164

I like it too, it just personally requires me to be in a certain mood to listen to it (today is actually a good day since it's grey and rainy here).

I always attributed the "stripped down" description to that sound, since it almost sounds like the 4 guys in a room just playing the songs, whereas I don't think their other albums (except Earth) have that sound.

 

Just bought my pair of tickets ($65 each with service fees... jfc) with the same thing in mind. My thinking was that this band already left me once - there's no way I'm passing up the chance to see them every time they come around now.

 

That's how I feel too..

 

I definitely understand that on both accounts

 

Woe

 

Talking Through Glass is so good.

 

Seeing that people don't like Doublespeak surprises me.

 

Honestly Beggars is their most consistent work imo.

 

Seeing Artist so far down your list is discouraging.

 

Major minor fails because it uses beggars production tactics while going for what TBEITN achieves

 

I'm not a fan of Major/Minor at all, but You can't fault them for not getting it right the first time. In fact, we may not even have TBEITBN if it wasn't for Major/Minor.

 

I hope the next album is completely different. I'll say that.

 

Na

 

Keep the direction/production of TBEITBN, but add in some experimentation then you got a perfect Thrice album.

 

They definitely need to keep Eric Palmquist.

 

so you want them to keep sounding like tbeitbn after we got m/m and tbeitbn.

Idk if they can or will reinvent themselves again and I'm just left here thinking I'm going to be really bored.

 

I personally think TBEITBN is a step up from M/M. I see where it COULD be seen as more of a progression of the M/M sound.

Though it's executed much better.

 

This was the perfect come back album, it blended a ton of stuff they had done previously in a way that it felt fresh and new.

I think from their dialogue the next record will be very different. I think there was talk about doing another concept record. I'd fully expect them to write some of the best stuff of their career coming up.

 

Listening to vhiessu I take back my earlier comment ha. I think I like whatever one I am listening to or have listened to the most.

Top 5

Vhiessu
Beggars
Fire/water
Tbeitbn
Major/minor- I personally love this record it may be tied with tbeitbn

 

I'm grading on a curve. It's still great. But by Thrice standards it's their least remarkable to me outside IC. I understand why it's popular because it's more accessible, and I know for many it was a landmark album, but they've put out consistently better material IMO. I will admit, I need to keep going back to it more than I have.

 

That's what's up.

 

I think it's harsh saying M/M fails, but this comment helps me put a finger on why I think it's weaker than Beggars and TBEITN. The rawer, bare bones production worked so well for Beggars as an experimental indie rock record. And the crisper, bigger production worked so well for TBEITN as an epic full-on rock record. M/M sounds like a full-on rock record stuck in the body of a rawer, more technical record and loses a lot of its impact.

 

100% what I was getting at I basically said exactly this to @Zac Djamoos last week I can't remember if @Deathco_019 was standing with us at the time

 

Well no I'm not faulting them I'm just saying. TBEITN is miles above m/m and one of their best because the production style actually suits the songs, plus the songs are better in general

 

I'm lukewarm towards M/M, but I agree with what's being said about its differences with Beggars and TBEITBN. I always felt like the songs suffered from not be varied enough either. They don't have a lot of breathing room to them imo. I know TBEITBN is trying to accomplish the same things as M/M, but the execution in songwriting is much better, as is the sonic direction they took with Palmquist
