Thrice Band • Page 124

I didn't say every song sounded the same.

 

TAITA was rushed. It was meddled with by the label. The band doesn't like it. If you like it, that's great. But, I never did – even if it has a song or a few parts that are cool. As the follow-up to a groundbreaking record like Illusion, it tread water.

 

I prefer Artist to Illusion.

 

From what I remember, they've mentioned that they like the actual songs from the album, but they were unhappy with the way the recording turned out.

 

Sure, that's true. But I still don't agree that they sound too similar. The variety isn't whats wrong with the record imo

 

thanks I made it myself

 

This is important for all of us who say stuff that take heat. Always own your takes even when they're wrong.

 

Artist is so much better than illusion it’s not even funny

This is the correct order

 

Every THRICE record took a step forward except for TAITA. The reason I love "The Abolition of Man" so much is because it sounded so different from the rest of the record. The label wanted another Illusion-y record, but with a single or two. They got it.

Even M/m took a step forward since the baritone guitar became a big part of their current sound.

It's not like I'm revealing something here. Again, the band admitted they wrote TAITA in a compressed amount of time and that it didn't sound the way they had hoped. When I first heard them say that, I let out a sigh of relief. I no longer had to feel so damn conflicted about it.

 

When you're first introduced to a band via IC and then hear their follow-up with bangers like "Kill Me Quickly"; "Deadbolt"; "Avenge..." – that affects a man. It affected the music industry. "All That's Left" did no such thing. It got people fired, in fact. But, I get it, we often love our entry point the most.
