Thrice Band • Page 8

This is why I'm now debating dropping for the black 180g version too.

I don't even see anything on my order saying that the colored variant is 180g. I know it was on the page when I ordered last night.

Can't wait for the tour/album

 

going through (most of) their albums today. On The Alchemy Index right now. Man Digital Sea has always been one of my favorite songs by them. Absolutely love.

Hear my voice go, to 1's and 0's...

 

The Alchemy Index has my favorite songs but isn't my favorite album.

 

I would agree. Vheissu is my favorite album, how about you? I need to give Beggars and M/M more time though. I didn't listen to them when they first came out.

 

I agree. There's always a song or two from each of the 4 TAI elements that I love more than anything from their discography, but as whole albums, my heart claims Beggars and Vheissu.

 

Definitely Vheissu is top for me. Then Beggars a close 2nd.

 

listening to Beggars again for the first time in a while and its phenomenal. I wish I liked Doublespeak's chorus more bc the rest of that song is amazing imo. it puts a damper on my enjoyment of the song. World is Mad and In Exile never did much for me either. The Weight, Circles, Wood and Wire, Talking Through Glass, and The Great Exchange are firmly some of their best works. also their guitar tones ever since alchemy are so ridiculously great

 

I really enjoy Red Telephone b-side from that album. Answered is pretty good as well.

 

After listening to the whole Alchemy Index today for the first time in awhile, Earth is definitely my least favorite. Fire and Water are my faves.

Beggars next.

 

Air & Earth is my fave Thrice release then Beggars

 

shit i dont remember hearing Answered before. it rules

 

I gotta listen to Beggars again too. Been listening to a lot of individual songs from it lately but gotta give it a full spin again. Doublespeak and All That's Left really grew on me over time. I've always liked them but I've been listening to them a lot more now. Circles still remains my favorite song by this band. In Exile and Beggars are still among my favorites from the album too.

 

Interesting. I think Earth is the only EP that isn't particularly redudandant and that has something to offer from all 6 songs. I could easily cut 2 songs off of each of the other EPs

 

Funny you point those two out, All That's Left and Doublespeak are two of the most important songs in my life. All That's Left is how my brother and I first started getting along and showing Doublespeak to a stranger started the relationship with the guy who's now my best friend

 

Beggars is very very very good.

 

I think the best songs are the ones that have the extended musical outros: Circles, Doublespeak, In Exile, At the Last, Wood and Wire, Beggars. I think it was a really cool structural conceit to have throughout the album and it makes me wish The Weight and The Great Exchange had some beautiful, reflective outros as well

 

The Flame Deluge, Open Water, Firebreather, Backdraft. That first Alchemy album is stacked with solid songs.

 

Air & Earth is a perfect album except for Lion and Wolf and As the Crow Flies. The forme is poop and the latter is unspectacular folk. I only really care about 5 songs on Fire & Water but they're great

 

Whaaaat As the Crow Flies is amazing. I find the guitar part so interesting.

 

Naaahhhh Lion and the Wolf is awesome. So uniquely moody and fable-like. Especially awesome live with a candlelit stage, haha

 

I do agree with @Your Milkshake about Crow Flies though, I think it's Thrice's weakest song since "The Next Day" hahahahhaha

 

that is a generic as hell piano riff
