Thrice - To Be Everywhere Is To Be Nowhere (May 27, 2016) Album • Page 18

Active Rock 2016 baby.

 

KROQ played the hell out of this band in the early 2000s. I ripped the premiere of "All That's Left" from a KROQ stream to post on this website from my dorm room. They played Weenie Roast in 2003. And acoustic Christmas in 2005.

What the? Weird versions of history while talking down to "18 year olds" going on.

 

And the 60's > 90's if we're talking decades of music. And I know I got @cshadows2887 that's gonna agree probably that the 60-80s were better as well.

 

90's all the way for me.

Can't stop listening to these two new tracks. Already got Black Honey ingained in my head.

 

Sure you were. Just said the radio station that put them on their biggest shows for a three year period didn't play them. (So damn untrue, they were getting play from IOS on KROQ too, and "IOTI" was all over that station as well during its roll out. They had huge fans at that station, people I talked to regularly about the band.)

"Image" was written as a single in mind. Their A&R left around that time, which was why so many bands got fucked. You're wrong to assume they didn't want radio play though (and got it). I literally had phone calls with their manager, Nick, about it. I was asked what my thoughts on singles were for those albums ... you're just making things up now.

 

Are we doing the thing where you pretend you can't read again? I'm really tired of this game. Please go do this on another site, I'm tired of even trying to deal with this, it's the same thing every time.

 

Both "All That Left" and "Stare at The Sun" made the top 100 most played songs for KROQ in all of 2003.

 

Why on earth wasn't Of Dust And Nations a single? One of their best. Cut off the intro straight into the snare hit for radio and it's a hit. At least back in those days it would.

Edit: In fact the song would be about 3 minutes tops if you cut the intro and outro off and short respectively.

 

In Exile is another song of theirs that I could hear on the radio and it's one of my favorites by them.

 

Whew yeah those lyrics are bad. Song is decent tho.

 

It's a Prince tribute, I believe

 

We talking just rock? Or music as a whole? Either way I'm with you. Haha

 

Prince wrote it.

Beaten by Chris

 

90s. the best decade for popular music. yeah. right....

 

Ah, that makes more sense. Relevant to this thread: Dustin's acoustic cover from like a decade ago is amazing.

 

I used to get really antsy and fire-y back in the day about people saying anything remotely (in what I considered) off base about Thrice and their music.

Music (and life) is so much more enjoyable when you stop doing that. I highly recommend it.

-----------

Also, can we stop the "this decade is the best for X because of XYZ"?

Is it so difficult to say "Speaking for myself...this decade is the best for X...because I personally think XYZ?" - makes such a huge difference in discussion.

 

I'm with you on that, although I did listen to both singles, and I did listen to them plenty of times ;p but from now on - I'm waiting for the full release!

I know what you're saying, but I actually couldn't disagree more at the same time. The do repeat some formulas though, however the album is actually much more versatile, with some acoustic tunes, and heavy breaks (reminding me somehow of Thrice by the way).

I've seen photos of them using baritones again for sure! :) not that much of a surprise I guess though, they used it a lot on M/M too.

 

...and to add to the conversation, I don't care if it's radio friendly or what, I'm already nearly designed to like anything they do, it sounds much better to me :) these songs are a bit more simple, but I woulnd't say they've always been a 100% radio rock band. In my country you'll never hear anything in 5/4 or 7/8 signature in the radio. Songs longer than 5 minutes also fall short in that category. Some people adjust to screaming in radio songs, but not when you have it over a Botch-like breakdown (Fire EP?!), I guess :)

 

Black Honey been stuck in my head all day

 

when I first got into music our "alt-rock" station played Sowing Season and Image of the Invisible, so I guess Thrice and Brand New are radio rock.

 

Ha, was at both of those KROQ shows. Weenie Roast that year had Finch, Thrice and I think The Used and AFI. And was the day after I graduated high school. Good times.

 

That's awesome. I think it was a HOB show where I saw Thrice and Finch play together — that was pretty epic.

 

First time I saw Thrice was with Further Seems Forever (Gleason era). Man, haha. Show would still be awesome now and I guess could technically happen, which is weird in itself.

 

The beginning reminds me a little of degausser the way that the drums come in

 

There are some real At The Bottom vibes from the verses too, which I'm perfectly okay with. The track is killer.
