Thrice - To Be Everywhere Is To Be Nowhere (May 27, 2016) Album • Page 7

Blood on the Sand is amazing.

 

glad yall like it

as the crow flies actually isn't a bad song it's just kinda unremarkable

 

'Blood on the Sand:' A Conversation With Thrice

Dustin talks a little bit about lyrical themes. More politics, less literature this time around. Apparently "Whsitleblower" is about Edward Snowden. Should be interesting.

 

Cool to see him already saying "next record"

 

Old songs they've never played before!!! So excited for June.

 

Definitely would love to see them play Melting Point Of Wax

 

@SeeTheLights that would be unreal. Cannot wait for the show later this summer.

Also, Whistleblower sounds like the coolest song.

 

Damn, I thought Whistleblower was going to be about Dustin and that church.

 

Dunno if there is a general Thrice thread but got my ticket for the 11th in Orlando last night, going to be on vacation in Florida and seeing my favorite band at the HOB. Stoked.

 

Stoked at the mention of a more conceptual record to come. Almost enough to exceed anticipation of TBEITBN, but one thing at a time... so glad to have Thrice back.

 

I think it's about time for them to release another song

 

That could be at the end of 2017 knowing Thrice. They're quick.

 

same

 

Or perhaps it means to imply both situations.

 

They used to be quick at least. Everything they have been saying post hiatus has seemed to suggest that they are going to be taking their time a bit more now.

 

First post since the rebranding. I just wanted to throw in my two cents on "Listen Through Me". Religion in general has always been a huge turn off for me, but I really enjoyed it the way Dustin conveyed the story. Rather than despite the very obvious references, it's because of the themes and imagery that it's one of my favorite Thrice songs.

31 days and counting; I'm so ready for this record.

 

There are a good handful on religious songs from Dustin that are like Listen Through Me. Music Box, Answered, Come All You Weary, and so on. The thing is, even though we know what he's writing about, he never crosses that line and just says it (like in his Modern Post/Dustin's Chritian stuff).

I'm hoping it's the same thing on the new album, even in a political sense. Blood in the Sand is obvious in terms of what Dustin is singing about, but vague enough that he doesn't name places. I imagine even if Whistleblower is about Edward Snowden, it may not actually go on to say his name.

This technique really adds longevity to the songs

 

Discussed this dynamic with a friend last night. I'm looking forward to taking in the political elements of this album due to this being an election year, but there is the challenge that the commentary comes to feel dated when 2016 is gone. Previously, Dustin's done well with songs like Broken Lungs, which features the most specific political lyrics he's written, to my knowledge, but still feels contemporary in its sentiments.

 

It's just so smart not to say September 11, terrorist or conspiracy in that song.

 

The lyrics point toward events, and we know what he was writing about in the context of culture at that time. History is cyclical, and it's always interesting to see old art become relevant again, and seemingly refer to what's happening several years/decades/centuries later.

 

Security Check Required

Black Honey is coming tomorrow!

 

Me thinks we will see this on Apple Music tonight at 11:00 PM EST?

 

Hope so. Can anyone tell if this is one of the studio vid tracks?

 

OH MY
