Thrice - Horizons/East (September 17 digital, October 8 physical) Album • Page 28

*Cries while patiently waiting for my vinyl copy of Ska Dream*

 

Yeah, ok. I’m all in on this record.

Kinda makes me wish I was gonna be there tonight at Riot Fest to (dad) rock out with the boys.

 

gonna give this a listen tomorrow probably

 

I would have preferred to listen to this for the first time on vinyl. But considering that is still another month out...

Will likely dive into this on my commute home today.

 

i'm only on Northern Lights but I know already that this is gonna be my favorite since Beggars.

 

So...if we have a Unitive / East, is there a Divisive / West coming?

 

Pretty easily my fav thrice album since vheissu

 

After my first listen, it feels like there's so much left to unpack. I'm confident this will be my favorite since M/m if not Beggars.

Unitive felt like one long exhale, similar to the end of Beyond the Pines. I thought the piano texturing was gorgeous.

 

more than beggars?

 

I read speculation that Unitive/East is only half a song and can be layered over Unitive/West to make a complete song.

 

2 listens in the books, this is so good. Not surpassing beggars for me but right up there in the top tier.

 

So, to play the speculation game,

Horizons / East ===> Frontiers / West

"Across a new frontier
A new horizon with each eager step I take"

 

Ah, the old "Soldier Side" strategy

 

I’m just happy we are getting another Thrice album within a year or so.

 

Won't say this but I'm not far off.

The album is so refreshing. The production is aggressive with great low end.
It's experimental. It's diverse. It's just good.
I'm really happy with it and haven't even digested the details or the lyrics.

 

Unitive/East

Is there a me without you
The you that breathes the sum
Again, the one from many
Again, increased by one
Is there a you without me
The me with star swept eyes
Alive with fresh becomings
New grass beneath black skies
New grass beneath black skies

 

Idk I loved Unitive. Just a cool conceptual outro is how I took it.

 

Thank you! I saw someone also posted the lyrics booklet over on Reddit, for any interested parties.

 

“New grass beneath dark skies”

inspiring and a bit terrifying, I love it.

 

It’s cheating but I don’t know if I like this as much as the Palms playlist I made, where I removed 3 weak tracks and replaced them with Deeper Wells songs.

That said I did enjoy my first listen, and it seems like a grower. No real stand outs, but also nothing I can see myself skipping or cutting in a playlist It’s incredibly cohesive album

 

Just finished my first listen and damn I love this! So much going on, so much satisfying low end.

 

On my 3rd play through and Scavengers is really clicking this time. It good.

 

Placed after the first song, Scavengers is pure bliss.

 

Gonna dive into this really soon
