Thrice - Palms (September 14, 2018) Album • Page 85

Whoops didn’t mean to steal your line lol

 

Every Thrice song would have to be an 11/10 though, and we know there are tracks he doesn't like.

 

Do the songs get better in alphabetical order though?

 

You guys listen to more music than me. As I've detailed, there's very little I like in this day and age. So, a Thrice release is an event.

 

Omg, I can't believe I forgot about that!

 

So shouldn’t you want it to last a long time?

 

They started recording in February. I can't help the fact that my juice is gone.

 

I’m not touching that one.

 

So getting an album 7 MONTHS AFTER recording is a long time? Okay then.

 

Need some of that tantric Sting shit in this thread.

 

TBE began recording in January 2016 and was in stores as of late May. The rollout was perfect. It wasn't just a matter of being their first record post-hiatus.

 

7 months is practically nothing and if anything time between releases only helps increase hype. The new Now, Now record came out 6 years after their previous one and I can’t think of another record I was that hyped for.

 

I waited 19 years for a new Failure record.

 

This literally feels like such entitlement and complaining. It’s not hard to wait for an album to come out. It really isn’t.

 

Also: "Palms" was originally supposed to be out in June. I could've lived without that expectation being created for me.

Don't mind me, guys. I know I'm in the minority as far as fans who peaked too early.

 

I truly just don’t understand complaining about something the band never announced or said would happen not happening.

 

Dustin was the first person to announce a summer delivery. The summer delivery was reinforced one other time, at least. I asked my usual source and learned that June was the plan. Keep in mind, my source has been rock-solid for over a decade. (He did tell me the exact date of when the second song would drop.) But, like I said, it's my fault for creating the expectation. When the record comes out, I'll be reinvigorated.

 

RT.

This cycle is the worst.

 

This thread makes me want to drink.

 

Technically September 14 is still summer, so Dustin wasn't wrong.

 

When people complain about their vinyl taking too long, I don't bash their posts over and over again. I've admitted my fault in the matter.

Also, the band doesn't engage too often with their fans. Record releases are that rare time period where we get to check in with them (usually via studio videos). Post-TBE, one of them talked about doing what that band I never cared about did (be completely aloof and just release music when the time comes).

 

He referred to that date as "fall-ish" once June was no longer happening.

 

this thread has gone off the deep end

people prefer certain styles of rollouts. and share those on a forum, about the band, on a website that spends pages talking about album singles / ranks everything a band does.

doesn't mean it matters in any way or that the band should care...but the thoughts being called out as whining seems silly.

I don't quite understand the hostility around it.

Its an opinion about something that bands approach in different ways.

 

I think there’s a difference in certain complaints that do come across as entitlement and song rankings. A discussion of the art versus feeling slighted you don’t have the art on your own timetable, for example, seem to be readily different.

 

Put differently, it’s taking excitement about an album to a level where it feels .. a little strange to me. I don’t have a better word. But it doesn’t seem good for the fan-artist relationship.
