I absolutely love that song. I'm not sure why they don't play it more. In the Alchemy Index notes on the Vinyl they say how much they love that song and it is one of the stand outs on the Live at the House of Blues release.
Those are the same 3 songs I was tossing up between. I'm also glad that so many people are into Night Diving because someone was ragging on it either earlier in this thread or back on AP. I adore that song though.
What's everyone's favorite song of every release? First Impressions - "T&C" Identity Crisis - "Identity Crisis" The Illusion of Safety - "In Years To Come" The Artist in the Ambulance - "Silhouette" Vheissu - "Music Box" The Alchemy Index - "Moving Mountains" Beggars - "The Weight" Major/minor - "Words in the Water"
Even after knowing what the song is about? Man such great imagery, burning your fleet so you are forced to win the war or be defeated there is no returning to the sea
I still have to check out Dustin's newest solo record so I have some catching up to do before the new album.
I'd go with First Impressions - T & C Identity Crisis - Ultra Blue Illusion - So Strange I Remember You Artist - Paper Tigers Vhiessue - Atlantic Alchemy Index - Daedalus Beggars - Circles Major/minor - Cataracts
Here's mine Identity Crisis - Phoenix Ignition Illusion of Safety - Trust Artist in the Ambulance - Stare At The Sun Vheissu - For Miles Alchemy Index - Daedalus Beggars - Circles Major/Minor - Disarmed
I love Burn the Fleet :( really Fire/Water makes a good case for my favorite Thrice album, even over Beggars
The Alchemy Index as a whole is behind Beggars for me, but if you split TAI up by how it was released I'd go with Fire/Water behind Beggars in a heartbeat. Firebreather, The Arsonist, Burn The Fleet, Digital Sea, Lost Continent, Night Diving, and The Whaler are all great songs. Backdraft is the only song I feel indifferent towards on Fire/Water. Air/Earth would then fall behind Vheissu from there. I love the Air EP, specifically Broken Lungs, A Song For Milly Michaelson, and Daedalus, but I haven't really gotten into the Earth EP. It's good though.
Identity - "Phoenix Ignition" Illusion - "To Awake and Avenge the Dead" Artist - "Stare at the Sun" Vhiessu - "The Earth Will Shake" Alchemy - "Silver Wings" Beggars - "In Exile" (maybe "The Weight") M/m - "Disarmed" (maybe "Blinded") But I don't really like anything pre-vhiessu so take those choices with a grain of salt
I think these would be my choices as well. Hurts to cut Burn the Fleet, Digital Sea, and Broken Wings, but it's hard to compete with the epic ending of Firebreather, and the vocal outro in Night Diving is one of my favorite pieces of music. Edit: just realized I confused Night Diving with The Whaler. So, The Whaler would be my choice from Water, haha.
Identity - To What End Illusion - To Awake and Avenge the Dead Artist - Paper Tigers Vheissu - Between the End and Where We Lie Alchemy - Broken Lungs (the Xylophone gets me) Beggars - The Weight M/M - Anthology That was tough.
I feel like I need to do a full discog listen-through to determine that at this point. Haven't listened to pre-Alchemy Index in a while
I like these games IC: T&C Illusion: To awake and avenge the dead Artist: Artist in the ambulance (first thrice song I ever heard) Vheissu: Stand and Feel Your Worth Alchemy: The messenger Beggars: Circles M/m: promises
Identity Crisis - "Pheonix Ignition" The Illusion of Safety - "The Beltsville Crucible" The Artist in the Ambulance - "Silhouette" Vheissu - "For Miles" Fire - "Firebreather" Water - "Night Diving" Air - "Daedalus" Earth - "Digging My Own Grave" Beggars - "The Weight" Major/Minor - "Disarmed" This was an excruciating process.
Basically this but Anthology for Disarmed. Shoutout to The Earth Will Shake too but For Miles probably wins.
