Same here. I have the translucent blue.

Vheissu looks to be on clear, and Artist is coke bottle clear. I'll probably wait to see what the extras on the deluxe versions are, but I'm leaning that way since I already have both albums on colored vinyl, and in hues that I prefer to these.

 

My copy of Vheissu sounds like ass so I should probably pick this up

but can we please repress Beggars already

 

I’m expecting beggars reissue for 10 year at some point as well

 

I've got my Beggars art hanging up at my desk at work, next to TDH's Act IV and mwY's Ten Stories, currently.

 

Cool, mine is the gold variant. Yeah. I’ll wait and see what they have included first.

 

taita should have 'eclipse', motion without meaning', and the acoustic version of 'stare into the sun'.

 

Definitely acoustic stare at the sun!

 

The 180g pressings may be enough to get my 3rd copy of TAITA and my 2nd copy of Vheissu. Ugh.

 

It looks like there are no extra tracks on the deluxe versions. Just expanded artwork, and of course 180g vinyl.

 

Oh well. Probably won’t bother getting them. I have copies of both so maybe not worth it.

 

I picked up Red Sky because why not?

 

I may have just bought all 3. Worth it.

 

Flags of Dawn is sooo good.

 

Both Flags and Weight are amazing. It's such a shame there wasn't a place for either on the album :(

 

The Artist pressings will have Eclipse on them.

I ordered the Red Sky EP. You can’t even stream it nowadays so definitely worth it. I have the sea monster Vheissu and the red colored Artist pressings so I’m going to hold off on those.

 

They need to add Motion Isint Meaning to the Artist vinyl too.

 

Saw the band open for Bring Me The Horizon last night, and they played nothing from Artist, and just two from Vheissu. The rest were just the mid-tempo songs from the rest of their later albums, none of which make much of an impression in a big live setting such as an arena, especially in front of a crowd more accustomed to heavier music, like BMTH. Wish they would have played more of their heavier material, but I know they most likely want to promote their later albums at this point. But still. I'm sure this has already been discussed in this thread, but I haven't even lurked in here, so I have no idea. But yeah, the crowd and myself wished we were treated to the heavier material

 

I'm really surprised they didn't play more from Artist. Esp since Paper Tigers was on their last tour set.

 

There's a good amount of heavy here:

Only Us
Silhouette
Hurricane
Hold Up a Light
Black Honey
Of Dust and Nations
Whistleblower
The Grey
The Arsonist
The Window
The Earth Will Shake

 

Ehhh, compared to some of their other material, like Under a Killing Moon, or Paper Tigers, some of these songs are fairly tame. "The Earth Will Shake" is really the only one the crowd really got into, that had a real heaviness to it that the crowd caught onto

 

Yeah I was hoping for Paper Tigers, as I knew that's a song the BMTH crowd would have really loved, but alas.

 

Sounds like a bad crowd rather than a bad set list. The Arsonist is easily one of their heaviest songs, and Only Us, Silhouette, Dust, Whistleblower, The Grey, and The Window all go hard at least some point in the song, especially live.

Plus the set ended with 3 of their top 10 songs all in a row.

 

The setlist is great for a Thrice fan, but I get what they are saying. I would have guessed more Artist songs for that crowd. The ending to Whistleblower has nothing on the ending of Under a Killing Moon, and that would have stood out more to that crowd I think.

 

Now that I've seen both bands together, I'm not sure Thrice was the best choice for this crowd; their whole vibe and sound just seemed to not mesh with the BMTH crowd

 

Maybe not, but I'm glad they tried something new. I'm sure the crowd size played into the choice to join the tour.
