I love their discography, but its becoming unbalanced with soft stuff. I'm not saying go back to Under a Killing Moon, but maybe like a Firebreaher or Yellowbelly.
I would love another experimental album like Vheissu and The Alchemy Index. As long as we still get songs like Hurricane and The Long Defeat, which are two of their all time best.
I know I'm most likely the only person here with this opinion, but Between the End and Where We Lie is probably my favorite Thrice song. I really hope we get to hear a new album that takes what they've learned and developed in Beggars, M/M, TBEITBN, etc., and head back in that more experimental direction of Vheissu. Obviously not a Vheissu 2 as I joked earlier, but something that is more experimental in instrumentation, tone, and arrangement. Something that is less straight-forward.
Between the End and Where We Lie is incredible. I love Dustin's vocals during the "All of my dreams always find me..." part. Killer bridge as well.
Fuck, I'm going to have to throw Vheissu on tonight. Thinking about that progression of "Between The End and Where We Lie" to "The Earth Will Shake" to "Atlantic" to "For Miles" .... I'm going to list every track on the album at this rate.
I'd love to see more songs in the vein of Stand and Feel Your Worth, Moths to Flame and The Earth Will Shake if I had my picks.
Heavier than Beggars. I'll give you that. Are there heavy parts on the new one? Sure. There is no pure heavy track minus Whistleblower I'd say though. Lets get another banger like Silhouette and Firebreather. Both the crowds and band loves playing those live so it makes sense :-D
As much as I adore Dustin's voice and lyrics, I would love if they put out something like a post-rock album. They would knock it out of the park with some super epic, heavy, meandering songs in the vein of Pelican or Caspian, like an entire record of "Night Diving" songs.
Beggars is my favorite and is my preferred Thrice sound. I've loved all they've done though, so I trust them to do whatever they want
Yeah I mean it all comes down to this really. Even though the new record isn't heavy and they need to stop being babies and listen to the best member of the band, Sir Edward
nah, from the comments posted we both agree there are heavier moments on there but I'd like full on heavy tracks.
I was really hoping that was the direction the band was heading when Alchemy came out. I think they could do that genre so well.
