Thrice - Palms (September 14, 2018) Album • Page 161

I feel like Hold Fast Hope's outro gets overlooked. So good.

Is there a not great outro on Vheissu? Literally cannot think of a single not good song ending on that album.

 

Even the b-sides end in amazing fashion. Nope. They are all great. It's decided.

 

That piano and drum outro on "Weight of Glory" is too good not to be on Vheissu and I hate that it isn't.

 

I’ve gone from hating Hold up a Light to loving it, wtf.

 

Ha! My parents are from the north shore and they call it tonic to this day.

 

It’s a really good rock song and I can totally hear the Dave Grohl comparisons. The breakdown could’ve been on the first Foo Fighters record and the drums at 2:28 sound like Songs for the Deaf.

 

Fellow southern NHer and I’ve never heard soda called tonic haha must be a north MA thing.

 

I honestly don’t dislike Hold Up a Light, but i can see the mainstream rock comparisons.

 

Oh yeah I don’t mean the comparisons as a bad thing at all

 

I'm from Vermont and I have heard tonic a couple times and never knew it was/could mean soda. That's a weird discovery.

 

I like Hold Up A Light enough but I really wish it has like half the length. I always think its about to end then it just keeps going for like another minute. I think it'd be great if it were short and sweet like Blood on the Sand.

 

Of all songs to have the extra chorus. That is the one...

I agree 1000%

 

The next record is going to be nothing but 7 minute songs.

 

At least I know I'm not crazy
In Boston, the word 'tonic' gives way to 'soda' - The Boston Globe

 

Gin and Tonics must be weird in New England.

 

I cleaned my lawnmower today while listening to "Hold Up a Light" on loop. It was very effective.

 

"Talking Through Glass" doesn't get enough ink around here.

 

I skip Wake Up. I don't skip Hold Up Light, BUT I do skip the first 2 songs because I played them out so hard. I usually have to come back to an album a month or so after it's release. I hate the 3 month, 3 song marketing strategy. I don't know...these albums weren't meant to skip around, but i end up starting at whatever track I haven't heard. Maybe just release a trailer of the album or announce it a month before release and drop 1 song? I know a lot of people can hold out, but most can't. It's honestly, the worst. I guess someone knows more than me about the strategy, but i personally think it hurts record release day. Where's the science at?

 

We Move Like Swing Sets is one of my favorite parts on Beggars

 

It’s my least favorite song on Beggars but the We Move Like Swing Sets portion is awesome

 

I’m vowing not to listen to anymore Thrice singles next album cycle. Going in blind next record. I meant to do that this time but nah.

 

I think I want to do that too. Wanna be each others sponsor next album? haha

 

This literally reads like my exact reaction to this album

 

Everything Belongs is better than My Soul. Fight me.
