Thrice Band • Page 48

I like it when thrice albums have variety. In a sense, feeling the four different elements spread over different songs or even parts within the same songs.

 

Fiancee agreed to Of Crows and Crowns for our first dance. My long con was successful.

 

Nice! That's going to be ours too when we get married later this summer. Although we're both partial to the live acoustic version.

 

My wife and I danced to Pistol. Dustin's got a first wedding song following.

 

Of Crows & Crowns and Pistol were also used in my wedding a few months ago. Been meaning to actually go back and make a playlist of all the music we used.

 

Me too!

 

Well, TBEITBN is solidly my second favorite thrice record after Vhiessu. I'm definitely in the camp that prefers heavier thrice to softer thrice, but when they do go more mellow, I tend to prefer their more electronic/keyboard tinged soft songs ( in the vein of "Atlantic" and "Digital Sea").

 

honestly, i need to listen to TBEITBN more. i never really gave it a proper chance. it kinda came out at a time where i started discovering a lot of music that really had big impacts on my taste in general so i kinda threw it on the back burner. i need to dive into it though because "Hurricane" is probably the best Thrice opener.

 

It's awesome. I enjoy it most when I listen to beggars/ major minor/ and tbeitbn back to back to back. Just great alt rock

 

This is exactly how I feel.

I was thinking that of Hurricane for a long time, but I don't know if it tops Cold Cash and Colder Hearts... or Firebreather. I'm also a huge fan of Kill Me Quickly... fuck. I give up.

 

Was going to say the same thing, but man every opener is so good. If they just did a set of every opener, I wouldn't be mad

 

What would they play the rest of the set? Because that wouldn't be a very long set. Start on closers, I'm assuming?

 

haha that'd be amazing. If they were doing an short set like opening for Rise/Deftones it'd be cool to see all the openers played:

Hurricane
Kill Me Quickly
All The World Is Mad
Identity Crisis
Broken Lungs
Fire Breather
Yellowbelly
Image of the Invisible
Cold Cash (with ext outro)

If they did a whole headline show and just used openers and closers that'd be pretty epic too:

-Hurricane
-Kill Me Quickly
-Cold Cash
-All The World is Mad
-Identity Crisis
-Disarmed
-Kings Upon the Main
-Image of the Invisible
-Broken Lungs
-Child of Dust
-Red Sky
-Fire Breather
-Yellow Belly
-Don't Tell and We Wont Ask
-Beggars
Encore:
-Beltsville Crucible
-T&C

 

TBEITBN Is my favorite Thrice record as a whole. Fight me.

 

Fixed. You poor poor soul

 

I mean Beggars, Vheissu and Artist are up there too so is Vol 1 but I come back to TBEITBN the most. Love the flow to that record. Such a smooth listen front to back. Production and sequencing is so on point.

 

Oh I agree. I think I can say the same for almost all their albums though

Why are you like this?

 

TBEITBN is in the debate. Considering this was a coming back from hiatus album (and a record we couldn't say for certain we'd get), I'd say impresses me even more. I still can't decide which song is my favourite off this album: the long defeat, black honey or hurricane. So many great songs and album production on this is top notch.

My only issues with the album is that I wish it had another song or two, or that Seneca was a fully flushed out song, because I wanted even more. I loved how death from above called back moments thematically tonthe Air EP. Salt and Shadow could of been on the Water EP. Open Window feels like it could have followed up Yellow Belly. The list goes on and on. Like Beggars, TBEITN really is a culmination of what Thrice does so well in my mind.
