I just came here to say Beggars is the best Thrice album, maybe even the best album of all time, and that’s a scientific fact folks.
I know this site houses all the Beggar lovers, but I'm always baffled that it gets ranked above Vheissu, TAI and Artist.
Beggars is a great album, but I still think the songs on TAI (may be cheating to include all 4 dics) and Artist are still better. I guess it comes down to liking crazy guitar and heavy over stripped down and folky though.
Beggars is hardly folky, if at all. And it has plenty of heavy/aggressive cuts: All The World Is Mad, The Weight, At The Last, Talking Through Glass
I’m also squarely in the vheissu camp. I don’t even rank the rest of their stuff. Vheissu > all their other stuff > M/M > IC Though I think M/M is the best one when it comes to production.
