The Earth Will Shake If you don’t think this is a great song, then you don’t deserve to listen to Thrice. Don’t @ me.
Two of the very best songs on here. I'll go The Earth Will Shake because it's my more listened to song over the two. The striped down bluesy chain gang vibe the song has before going super heavy is one of my favorite Thrice moments ever. I remember seeing them live for the first time and not even having it in my head that they would play this song live out of all their stuff, let alone end with it. What an great explosive ending.
I was commenting more to the people calling it (and Red Sky) “meh”. It’s my personal favorite on the album, and has been ever since I first heard the album.
At first I was disappointed that I'd missed the brackets of one of my favorite albums of all time. But now I see "For Miles" was knocked out in the first round and I'm thinking it's best that I wasn't here to see that.
Are we starting Alchemy today? I need to listen to those all, but would love to know those first-round matchups so I can make a playlist .
I'll leave this one open a little longer but Red Sky is probably not coming back. I'll prepare the Alchemy post when I have some time.
Since it would take more than the amount of votes we normally get for Red Sky to win, I'm calling it. Final scores: The Earth Will Shake - 14 Red Sky - 7 The Earth Will Shake will be fighting in the Champions bracket. Big Alchemy bracket coming up!
I feel like I will have to tough time coming up dealing with Messenger and/or Burn the Fleet losing anything.
A BRACKET TO END ALL BRACKETS: THE ANTHOLOGY OF THRICE. For those who are new to the concept, these are randomly generated brackets (no seeding!) where we go from album to album and put the songs from an album against each other. We vote on each matchups until we have a winner for each albums. Those songs will then face off in a Champions bracket to decide the best overall Thrice song! Same rules as the other brackets: Rules: 1. Voting will take place over 10-24 hour period, depending on how close the matches are (if there's a wide margin too far to beat, the round may be run ruled to not waste time). 2. You must vote on every match in a round. If you don't your other votes don't count. Just reply to this thread with your choices. I will not vote unless there is a tie needed to be broken. 3. Feel free to discuss why you chose one song over the other and why you like that song. It's what keeps these fun! 4. I avoid byes into rounds if I can, but sometimes it's necessary. These are randomly generated; I do not pick them. 5. Once your votes are counted, there are no vote changes. Choose wisely before posting! 6. The King John Rule: Only participate if you've heard these songs. You are welcome to look them up and listen before hand, but if there's evidence you haven't heard them before or you're just voting to help/hurt a song your votes will not count. And the most important rules of them all : Have fun and stay respectful of each other. THRICE FACE OFF: THE ALCHEMY INDEX ----- Round 1 1) Come All You Weary Vs. Silver Wings 2) The Arsonist Vs.
