this is a band that SHOULD be like, a top 5 band for me but for whatever reason i just dont listen to them as much as i could. like this new song has me hyped on Thrice but in a few weeks theyll go unlistened for quite a while and im not sure why that is because this band embodies everything i enjoy in this kind of music. i dont rly have any hot takes other than TAITA being my favorite Thrice album i guess. Beggars and TBEITBN would be close behind.
Were you looking for it to buy? I have one w/ some dinged up packaging (mainly the sleeves & one outside corner) that I'm willing to sell for a fair price, lol. Bought it (and other Thrice stuff) during my "I'm gonna get into vinyl" phase. And then I didn't get into vinyl. Should be alright. I think I listened to it twice on a crummy record player.
Listened to The Artist in the Ambulance for the first time yesterday and then relistened to Vheissu for the first time in years. They made a huge leap in sound and quality on that album. Easily their best album imo, mixes all the different sounds I like from this band with their best songwriting. Honestly didn't even realise how much I liked it.
I'll get around to it, haha. I'm listening to the first Alchemy Index now and this is much better than I remember too.
I could make an argument for TAI being a better album/work than Beggars. I connect with the latter more
