I wonder if they're aiming for a July release to get as close as possible to the official anniversary?
There's a short video clip with the re-recorded version of Silhouette in the announcement post on their website: The official site for Thrice and the Thrice Alliance fan community.
Eh... much like the TV stuff, I will very likely prefer the original sound better (especially that song, based off that snippit).
I'm jazzed for the re-recordings - it's the album that got me into them. I'm sure the record will be a great change of pace for a couple spins, but the original will always be the original.
I mean, I’ve heard that song a million times. That is a different recording. Not a doubt in my mind. Edit: I’ll hedge a bit since I admittedly only watched the video on my phone so it’s not the most crisp audio. But my initial reaction was that was new.
It's definitely different, but it sounds a little live to me, but I am listening through laptop speakers.
I edited my post because my speaker situation wasn’t much better. So I hedged a bit. But it definitely struck me as different. And that photo was the purported cover of the revisited album. So, I don’t know. It all seems to be real.
Oh yeah I don't doubt they are re-recording it. A moderator on the Thrice Alliance discord said "There may be more to come hehe" So guaranteed that's happening. Hope it happens soon.
Vocal sounds amazing on that re-recorded silhouette verse! Biggest fear for me will be if they can nail the screams.
My biggest fear is them cutting a lot of those screams or making them cleans. Can’t imagine Dustin reproducing what his voice did in 2003.
That would be a misstep unless it’s only in a few places, which he’s done on some illusion of safety songs live that I’ve enjoyed.
Wouldn’t surprise me if they recorded it live in studio, kind of like the JEW Phoenix Sessions, as they were working on the arrangements for the anniversary tour(s).
