Thrice Band • Page 264

Even tho TBEITBN is more safe I much prefer it to Palms. The mix is so good on it.

 

Some tracks on Palms are great, but it also has several of my least favorite Thrice songs ever.

 

I think as a return album...safe is ok. It was like any reminder of how awesome they are. Big fan of TBEITBN.

 

There’s probably one really good album if you combined songs from their last two

 

Branch is a GOAT song.

 

My problem with Palms is that even compared to their other later output there's very little going on under the hood. There are still parts of Beggars and MM I'm discovering or developing new appreciation for even though I've been listening for years. TBEITBN less so but the songwriting is stronger imo. Palms I feel like I heard everything the album has to offer after only a couple listens

 

Vheissu was incredibly well received and the band didn't just make Vheissu 2. And they've never returned to their much beloved Deadbolt-era. Thrice has never struck me as a band that factored in fan sentiment when determining what direction to go.

Also, I adore Palms.

 

I don't know if they'll ever top Beggars and Major/Minor for me, and I'm content with that. TBEITBN does have sublime production, just so crisp and crunchy (and I don't even care that this sentence also made me hungry).

 

I said this in the circa thread but same applies here - I think this band could nail an album that's barely even considered "rock"

 

Started listening will Illusion, but my favourite albums were when they shifted. Vheissu was just so impressive and defined their future. Beggars has a groove and sounds so rich and layered. TBE is one of the best comeback records you could ask for (also see Yellowcard).

I just wonder if a shift in beliefs or all the changes in the world may cause another shift. I found Major/Minor and Palms just followed suit with their predecessor a bit. Both have some great songs, but as whole not as strong as the previous album for me.

 

TBEITBN is safe but the quality of the songwriting is great. Palms is less so in both categories

 

Man, I don’t get what people see in TBE. Aside from Hurricane, the Window, and maybe the Long Defeat, there nothing really there that I would ever return to.

It’s lower tier Thrice for me.

 

Death From Above, Whistleblower, Salt & Shadow I can go on

 

I could go on and on as well. Don’t tempt us hahaha. I think they captured a lot of their strengths on that record. Coming back that can be hard. Sometimes on breaks artists can try and take what they did outside the band and try and force it back. They just came back and did Thrice. Also sounded great production wise.

 

I'm still waiting for them to do a full album that sounds like the Water EP.

 

I would enjoy more blood on blood/just breathe

less hold up a light / the grey

 

just breathe is one of their best songs, but yeah, palms isn't my fave album of theirs by any means

 

Palms ain’t great, but Beyond the Pines is one of my favorite closers in recent memory.

 

yeah that one too

 

Welp guess I'm doing a discography run

 

There are some really strong songs on Palms and the EP but as a whole, the 'misses' on the album don't have me coming back that often.

 

I don't think I've ever not skipped everything belongs

 

I ageee, there are a bunch more mediocre songs on TBE you could have named if you kept going.

 

I mean plus the ones you already mentioned. So like over half the albums are bangers.

 

I finally spent some actual time with The Artist in the Ambulance recently and I love it. Probably my second favourite of theirs after Vheissu.
