Whoa, I had no idea that EP was a thing until just now. Really cool cover art, and the Whaler acoustic is great. But, goodness, that remix of Digital Sea is erratic and ridiculous. Haha. And sort of great.
Holy shit this is beautiful. Teppei and Ed don’t get enough credit for their harmonies and backing vocals. Ed’s screams are monstrous live.
Beggars is top tier thrice even though the title track isn't one of their best closers, it's still fitting and massive
A lot of their closers are among my favorites, Red Sky, Disarmed, and whatever the closer is on Artist is the best song on that album.
Don't Tell and We Won't Ask. Criminally underrated Thrice song. The whole last part of that album is really underappreciated, minus the title song (as evidenced by the brackets).
Yeah I do not like that title track at all, but Blood Clots, Abolition of Man, and Don't Tell are awesome and save the album
So, where's your landslide? Where's your victory? "Disarmed" is such a wonderful song. It doesn't seem like much at first listen, but it slowly seeps into your soul like my Grandma's maple syrup.
The end of Julien Baker's 'Turn Out the Lights' reminds me of something Thrice or Dustin related. I can't quite put my finger on it. Like Thrice, she really knows how to end her songs, but TOtL definitely triggered my Thrice sense.
Since Eric Palmquist encouraged Thrice to revisit sounds of their past via TBEItBN, I hope they'll continue that approach and return to something like "For Miles." Sure, I want more "The Long Windows" as well as another "Silver Wings Shadow" type track, but they still have more existing sounds they can tackle in a new way. A "Water" track is sorely needed, too. Of course, they had one in "Sea Change" and while it's different from anything on "Water," it's still in the same sonic ballpark. And I'm not saying they need to ape those songs exactly. In the case of "For Miles," you've got a piano that drives the majority of the song until the band concludes with a firing roar. There's a way to explore that dynamic, reminding us of "For Miles," without being "For Miles Part II."
