Thrice Band • Page 341

It's always a good time to re-up Thrice's Carol of the Bells.

 

So, after initially acknowledging the mistake on the Beggars vinyl, the merch company won't respond to my requests for a return label so that I can get a refund.

 

I requested one Saturday. Let’s see what happens.

 

Complaining on the Internet works. My return label just arrived.

 

Such a fun era of Thrice. Far and away my favorite era, say... '05 to '08.

 

It's a bloody shame that we don't have the full acoustic set from when Riley threw his back out in '03:

 

I hope for this next album they write in the same room together

 

I got into a holiday argument with my cousin over his following statement:

"Horizons is better than Palms, but Palms has two songs (Pines, Breathe) that belong on their greatest hits album. Horizons doesn't have any."

What song(s) from Horizons/East do you think have a rightful place on Thrice's Greatest Hits?

It's tricky because, while Still Life would go on my greatest hits comp, I know there's no chance the band and their inner circle would ever actually pick that song.

 

Dandelion Wine is an all time great.

 

Weird argument. Hold up a Light is their magnum opus

 

I agree, Palms is their weakest album and Horizons East has more solid songs but I personally think Beyond the pines is superior to any of the rest of the songs on either album and is probably the only song off of them that deserves a spot among their best especially if there is only room for like 10- 12 songs.

 

The Window is one of the best Thrice tracks

 

i was so happy when they played still life back when they toured in 22. that song rocks and feels unique in their discography.

 

Yeah, I'd put Dandelion Wine on there. Color of the Sky is also terrific, but it's a tough call whether it's truly among their best.

 

Think we get an album in 25?

 

Supposedly by the end of next year, i'm guessing October 2025 since they love releasing stuff in october.

 

Sorry not just october but september or october. I find it interesting i've noticed patterns in some of my favorite bands that when they started experimenting with a more mature sound their albums started coming out around the fall months. Vheissu being released in october and Blink 182 releasing Untitled in the fall after their three previous pop punk albums being summer albums.

 

unfortunately, there's a difference between our favorite songs and greatest hits. GH albums are radio single heavy, so what a label would want for a tracklist will differ heavily from our personal standouts.

 

That feels so far away haha. Will be worth the wait tho!

 

Without question. I can't believe it's not a set staple.

 

The Window is probably my least favorite track off that album.

 

You gotta wake up, Greg.

 

Okay, it’s a toss up with that one. I didn’t bother to check the track list. I guess I’d give The Window the nod between those two.

 

@Badtasteinmusic it really does! And I agree lol that late in the year, album of the year
