Thrice - Horizons/East (September 17 digital, October 8 physical) Album • Page 26

hey guys theres a new thrice album out today

 

Non album comment but saw this on Twitter and made me chuckle

 

Yeah Color of the Sky is it. Can totally see them opening up the sets on this tour with it.

 

Still Life is so good.

 

Northern Lights reminds me of old The Reign of Kindo.

 

Definitely above Palms and possibly on par with Beggars for me, perhaps? Gotta give it time.

 

It’s cool to see such unanimous praise for this. Just pressed play, hoping to add to it

 

The Color of the Sky might be my favourite arrangement this year so far.

 

After one listen, I really like this. There's a lot to digest. The songs are mostly slower-paced and almost contemplative, but there are also some moments where the songs go really big. I've missed that on their last couple of albums. "Dandelion Wine" is a great example of this. When it finally goes off, it's just immediate goosebumps.

Need to give it a few more listens, but this is probably my favorite of theirs since M/M.

 

It’s amazing what a clear mix can do for these guys. Bass is so thick in the best way.

 

Color of the sky -> scavengers is a really good way to start. Damn, he isn’t pulling any punches with buried in the sun, huh? Maybe his most direct lyrics…ever?

 

arrangement? who gets the kid on weekends

 

Omg you’re totally right wow

 

big M/M energy from Still Life

 

they probably wont but thatd be sick if they lugged around an oberheim for it

 

Yup, immediately get that too

 

i havent listened to m/m since it came out but a couple of these choruses make me think of that

 

Holy crap Dandelion Wine

 

so does anyone know what exactly the concept “horizons” is? or what constitutes east and west?

 

Still Life rules, love the guitar and bass tones and the slower tempo of it. Only made it to there before I got to work this AM. Excited to finish it out.

 

this definitely needs multiple listens to digest. i think i really like it. did anyone else notice that some of the vocal mixing made his voice unintelligible at times because everything else was "too loud" around it?

 

Well that was an unbelievable listen. Early feeling is this is top three albums with Vheissu and Beggars. I think this is the album people wanted post hiatus, and we finally got it.

Also, it seems like Unitive plays the role like the final song on each alchemy EP ending East and preluding into West. Since the definition means causing or serving to unite (also works on a political level). Would be cool if the outro of Unitive was the intro to the first song on West.

 

I'm so stoked everyone seems to like this. I trust the forums here more than I do any review elsewhere online. I can't wait to listen a little later this morning.

 

Not sure how I feel about unitive

 

Putting on the opening track be like:
