Thrice - To Be Everywhere Is To Be Nowhere (May 27, 2016) Album • Page 17

Literally three posts after mine.

 

Thrice is, has been, always will be radio rock. If you like Thrice, you like radio rock. Oh no!!

 

Was about to post the same thing. Haha.

 

Some of the greatest musical artists and rock musicians of all time are considered radio rock.

 

I have to disagree. The harmonic vocabulary of their other albums have Always been significantly different than those "generic" rock bands.

 

alt rock has always been part of their makeup yes

 

I don't necessarily think that "radio rock" implies generic. There is plenty of generic radio rock, and good radio rock.

I don't listen to the radio, and haven't in several years, probably more than a decade, so I don't necessarily know what "radio rock" really is these days.

 

Radio rock these days is like Mumford and Sons/The Lumineers/Florence if the one alt channel in Knoxville is anything to go by.

 

stuff in my city is still seether and shit when I happen to flip over to the radio

 

And has also been right in line with what people consider radio rock. They can, and do, dabble in a variety of places with their music. It's ok. "TAITA" and "All That's Left" used to come on right after 30 Seconds to Mars and Filter songs and I'm the only one that remembers when they were literally played on radio rock stations. (Which isn't happening anymore.)

 

I'm doing the same, already tougher than I thought!

 

My local rock station really likes Tool, Metallica and Slipknot.. not all that bad really

 

Yep. It being used as a negative thing is dumb. Good bands are on the radio all the time. A lot of them on "rock stations."

 

I made a TFK joke earlier only to find out they literally are still doing well on the radio.

 

papa roach why

 

Agreed completely, as someone who listens closely to the harmonic choices, I feel Thrices progessions have always been a part of their unique sound. I've only heard Blood on the Sand so far and I could see a plethora of bands using the same chords. Still love that track. I'd say O'brother is the band I feel like uses a lot of similar harmonic minor progessions that give them a similar sound at times

 

I wasn't aware half of these artists are still making music. I'm not aware of who most of everyone else actually is, either. And is that Chris Cornell covering Sinead O'Connor? Because wow.

 

my favorite thrice tracks are the ones heavily supplemented by other stylings or even completely sans the alt rock attributes around the time of alchemy and beggars. so Im not a normal thrice fan. I hope I dont offend anyone when I say I dont like the style alot of the time (In Utero and Daisy are albums that have made an impact on me) and I definitely dont mean to apply a negative connotation to something just because it could be played on the radio because that is getting annoying. tons of taita should have been all over the radio if it wasnt

 

It's been awhile since I've listened to Thrice so I've been spinning their discog lately, holy shit I forgot how good In Exile is.

 

Wait, so Baroness is radio rock now?

 

Shock Me does seem like it'd be a massive song on rock radio actually.

 

Will need to hear the whole record, I'm still really hopeful I will love the rest of it.

 

I'm in the other Thrice threads, but not this one lol

Love Black Honey

 

I don't see anything wrong with Thrice being played on the radio. You can definitely tell they've always had alternative rock leanings dating as far back as TAITA. I'm not particularly drawn by Blood On The Sand, but I don't think it's bad either. I only mention that song because I mentioned earlier today in this thread that I thought it was their most radio-ready song possibly ever. Even though I'm not on board with the song quite yet I'd be all about it if I heard it on the radio.

I definitely don't have anything against alternative rock/radio rock/whatever music. My one friend compared Blood On The Sand to Nickelback, which I'm not sure I would agree with, but just because the song (or any song on this album) might have potential for radio airplay does not mean it automatically makes it bad. Baroness was just mentioned and I think they're a great example. I felt like Shock Me had potential to be played on my local rock/hard rock station. I don't think that automatically makes Purple a bad album. In fact, good for any band I like that gets radio airplay. I'd love to hear Thrice on my local alt station instead of Twenty One Pilots once or twice an hour.

Also, this post is not geared towards anyone specific, just general thoughts after disappearing from this site for the last six hours to type a paper I finally finished.

 

I can't even handle this, this is what is on the radio? currently?!?!
