Pretty disappointed we don't have a stream yet, I know they don't owe me a single thing, but man do I wanna listen to this. I blasted the Hotelier for a couple days straight and I love that album, but I always find myself thinking about this instead.
Didn't they used to be The Hotel Year? So I was always under the impression it was pronounced hoteleer
That seems the rational conclusion of pronunciation. I've just not subscribed to it in my two weeks of being a fan.
What's going to be the quickest way to find this album in lossless that isn't paying $20 for a Tidal copy? Bummed, and assuming, that my vinyl preorders won't be netting me anything more than 320 mp3s.
The time signature variations in Death From Above have me psyched (although I haven't listened to it yet). I was just thinking about how crazy "Blur" is in that regard (are there other good examples?). It's a strength of theirs that should definitely be getting utilized, so I'm glad to hear that it is.
Why hasn't this leaked yet! I know it's out there somewhere DISCLAIMER: I preordered it so do not feel bad listening to a leak
One of my favorite things about Thrice is sometimes making odd time signatures sound so natural ie Wood and Wire has 7/4. Words in the water in 5/4 and some stuff in Artist. Pretty sure Fire EP has the most unusual time sigs. like Firebreather and Backdraft's Chorus need to listen to remember what the time sigs were. Trust alternates a bit too. Blood Clots has a section that goes from 5/8 ,6/8 ,7/8 to 4/4
The section right after the first chorus of The Arsonist, before Dustin starts singing/whispering, is one of the best parts of this band's entire discography.
If BOTS is one of the worst songs on here, then this is going to be the greatest album ever recorded.
Again, I'm only going off what I've read and heard so far (which is everything). The top tier comes up consistently.
