Thrice Band • Page 349

That's a former Horizons/West a-side you're talking about. Tread lightly.

 

Dead Wake rips

 

Horizons/East was a definite step-up from Palms, which I'm pretty confident is their worst barring maybe the first record, but it still wasn't quite up to the snuff of their run from Vheissu to TBEITBN. Would love to love something from this band again.

 

What's strange for me, getting back to the discussion of b-sides earlier, is that I agree with you completely that Palms is one of their weakest records. But paired with Deeper Wells, it gains a lot in my book and is actually pretty solid.

H/E is their best post-hiatus output, though, and it's not close. Stoked if they can capture some of that flavor again with Horizons/West.

 

Palms is great.

 

There are dozens of us!

 

Horizons/East would be one of my favorite Thrice records if Dead Wake and Open Your Eyes were on it. In the past, they could get away with routinely leaving great songs off records because the records were already quite strong. But the last two would have greatly benefited from the added meat on the bone.

 

I just made my own edit of Palms+ (very original, I know). It really does hit, though! A few additions and subtractions give it the extra 10% that makes it a great album to me.

 

I was having this conversation with myself a couple of weeks ago and I agree that those bonus tracks were soooo good on Horizons but with that said it is still my favorite post reunion album and one of their stronger records overall.

 

No Stumbling West? Snubbing West?

 

Deeper Wells was so good. Palms has its moments but it's definitely the weakest of the post-hiatus records.

 

It's great but TOO ahead of its time. Should have been on Desert Dreaming as another West-themed ballad

 

I wish I felt about horizons east as a lot of fans do about it being a top thrice album, it was definitely a step up from palms though. From the illusion of safety to beggars was where I think their peak was with to be everwhere is to be nowhere being an amazing comeback

 

Yeah, To Be Everywhere is a very, very good reunion record. Their best post-hiatus for my money.

 

Minus 'Hold A Bud Light '

 

1) That song rules
2) It’s on Palms

All 3 post-hiatus records are good in their own way.

 

The aluminum lining is that it didn't take off and become the next "Black Honey." I was fairly worried that it was going to capture the hearts and minds of the WWE audience. (No offense.)

 

Oh shit that reminds me that there is a shit ton of people that only know thrice as the band that plays black honey at the time I had no idea how big that song was

 

I still love it. It's one of their only full-fledged singles that I regularly come back to and enjoy.

 

As far as singles go I think I listen to beyond the pines, red sky, scavengers the most recently

 

I recently saw a man on the street type video where someone was asking younger folks (mostly dudes) to name three songs based on their band shirt and it was SHOCKING to me when a kid said "Black Honey" first for Thrice.

 

Alright, might need to do a post-hiatus discog run today.

 

I have a coworker who only listens to radio rock and Black Honey is the only Thrice song they know.

 

i think their post-hiatus albums are all awesome. tbeitbn actually started my love for the band even though i saw them way back when opening for the used. probably taita era but didn’t click until my late twenties.
