Official Thrice Thread

[Rockafella]

I got that the day it came out. The CD is awesome, I am in love with their cover of Eleanor Rigby and the DVD is just flat out amazing.

[waronpeace]

ya, i cant wait for thrice, theyre with the bled, veda and underoath.

thrice id say would be post-hardcore with tons of influences, you know, some blues, some expiremental, melodic etc. but i just call them post-hardcore

and for everyone who said the accoustic remasters sucked youre an idiot or not a real thrice fan and most likely both.

vheissu is a mystery to me, i like that they change their sound on every album, but i think they might run out, but its gonna be hard to evolve again, but i guess thats why theyre rich and im not.

[DFelon204409]

Ya. Preach it. Now tell me why Fat Mike knows everything about politics.

haha a lot of people are going to disagree with you. apparantly if a band has any sort of mainstream recongition, they are either popcore or pop-rock, and they are not allowed to associated with hardcore. :thumb:

[Let's Chop Cats!]

or that they had no real association with hardcore to begin with.

I'd say general rock?

[DFelon204409]

Because Isis and Frodus are typical rock and all.

[littledrummerboy]

I was talking about thrice?

[Sep]

I'd say Thrice are melodic hardcore- a la Rise Against.

So I bought The Illusion Of Safety and If We Could Only See Us Now this summer. I think both are great- Dfelon I take back what I said about the acoustic version of Stare At The Sun because I love it now. I'm pretty sure there's two versions of it though? One of them is cool and the other one kind of bad.

Yeah one of them is live I think and the other version was done in the studio and there's violins added and stuff.

[Sep]

I am digging the acoustic versions of Cold Cash and The Artist. Eleanor Rigby is cool too but the rest of the EP isn't.

[Nataroo]

Pop-Punk with riffs, breakdowns and screaming has been around for soo many years and still no one can agree what to call it.

[waronpeace]

or that they had no real association with hardcore to begin with.


dude, listen to thrice... and if you still think theres no association with hardcore there then u might as well fornicate ur *** with the cd cuase ur missing something

So to convince Reiner that Thrice is hardcore you cite two of their most metal songs. Good choice idiot.

[Special Brew]

They have some hardcore infleunces. Just listen to them, they are either metalcore or post hardcore. I'm not a big genre whore when it comes to hardcore, so I could be wrong. But I don't see how you can say they have no hardcore association, when it sounds pretty obvious that they do to me.

I have the albums Artist In the Ambulance and Identity Crisis and like 'em both. I am not a big fan or anything though, I just came across those albums casually.

[DFelon204409]

The lllusion of Safety is by far the best.

[RCVA]

Yeah. Subtle Dagger, Kill Me Quickly and Deadbolt are really good songs.

[Coup__D_Etat]

What you guys thinking with the overall style of the album?? It's got a pretty interesting theme going on...theres even Masonic references going on with 3rd eyes and stuff

[DFelon204409]

So...it leaked?

[SunnyDayRealEstateAM]

This might be a stupid question, but how do albums leak on the internet?

[-1up!-]

and for everyone who said the accoustic remasters sucked youre an idiot or not a real thrice fan and most likely both.


Yes, because if we don't like EVERY single song by a given artists, we're not allowed to be real fans. Way to fail, idiot.

I agree Thrice has got some interesting themes. They're very interesting artists as a whole. I prefer TAITA over the other albums, though, even though The Illusion Of Safety is the only one I own.

[Sep]

A Torch To End All Torches has the greatest chorus ever.

[frmautumTOashes]

So...it leaked?

It might of. If you search on eDonkey 2000, you'll get results for all the new songs on Vheissu and they are each around 4 to 5 MB, so they're probably songs, but I don't know if they're real because it hasn't found any sources yet.

[Angry Balled Fists!]

IOS > Most albums ever.

[UnDeRoAtHfAn777]

i own it and even though its good, it gets old a little faster than the others(more good songs on it but fewer maintain my interest)

[frmautumTOashes]

Go to thrice.net. You can hear a clip of Image and once 100,000 people listen to it they'll release the whole song. Plus if your on the thrice alliance you can hear a sample of 7 songs from Vheissu. Also there a one-sheet about the album.

http://www.bandbuilder.com/image_of_the_invisible/

It's a snippet of the new Thrice single from their forthcoming album. It's in Windows Media format (which means I can not check it until I'm at my parents place tomorrow)

Enjoy! :thumb:

[k1ckthecat]

yeah i saw this on thrice's myspace, all we need is 86,371 more people to listen to it before they unlock it. by then the new album will already be released. morons.

ya, its just 10 seconds right now until more people visit it and its a full song, but i thought thrice might have a new sound that i didnt like, but god, its awesome. i cant believe i doubted them.

[TakeWarning]

Oh man I can't wait for Vhessui. Listened to a very small amount of their new stuff and it sounds awesome.

[holdfasthope]

Image leaked already, along with 5 other songs. gooood stuff.

Would you mind sending some over? IM me at DFelon204409.

[The_Red_Death]

Could I also get the leak? AIM: TheRedDeath2113. Thanks a lot.

And this is my first visit to this thread. And I'm a Thrice fanatic, as you can probably tell.

[The_Red_Death]

And as for my favourite album, it's a toss up between TAITA and TIOS. Although I do prefer TAITA by the tiniest bit. But I have a feeling that Vhiessu is going to be better than both. Thrice seems to be improving with each album.

[RandomBassist]

Im a thrice fanatic as well but I only own AITA and IOS...is Identity Crisis as good as well?

[Tjebby]

IC is okay. IOS is my favorite. TAITA is really good too. I hope that with all this wait that Vhiessu will be good.

[frmautumTOashes]

Image leaked already, along with 5 other songs. gooood stuff.

do you mean just the samples or full songs? if it's the full song could you YSI or send it to me over AIM. screen name is disismysnyo.

The album version of 'The Earth Will Shake' has just been opened on thrice.net

I think it sounds **** good - what do you guys think...


***4Days Til Thrice*** Wheyy

[RandomBassist]

I recently got into thrice and im addicted..can you guys reccomend any other bands i might like?

[hey, you're not cory!]

IC is okay. IOS is my favorite. TAITA is really good too. I hope that with all this wait that Vhiessu will be good.
TAITA > IOS = IC

The Artist in the Ambulance is leaps and bounds better than their old stuff.

[cbmartinez]

No way. Does that equation even work?

[SlappedByTheClash]

TAITA > IOS = IC

The Artist in the Ambulance is leaps and bounds better than their old stuff.

That's just lying.

[Mute Print]

The Artist In The Ambulance is my favorite album as well, although I like the others a lot too.


October 18th seems so far off...

[onlyforthegold]

I love thrice they are awesome but what they said about there new album wories me. they said that they arent really interested in playing heavy agressive stuff anymore so they wanted to create a new sound for this album. bieng that papertigers and to awake and avenge the dead are my two favorite thrice songs i hope the new album doesnt stray to far from there prior form.

[hey, you're not cory!]

No way. Does that equation even work?
Better production, songwriting, and musicianship. Of course it works.

I love IOS too, but I don't see it even touching TAITA. And I feel like Identity Crisis is too underrated too. What do I know though, I like Fall Out Boy :p

[cbmartinez]

All their albums are great but Artist is not as solid. Every song on TIOS is amazing and I thoguh definitely agree about it starting to drag a bit towards the end, the album never stops moving. It's agressive, it's beautiful, the guitar work is spectacular. Artist has the heaviness but the songs are not as complex and don't come out sounding frantic and chaotic heavy like TIOS was, it's just metal heavy. Again, every track is great on TAITA but as a whole it's just not as innovative and mighty as TIOS.

[hey, you're not cory!]

See, the my biggest turn off from IOS is how chaotic it is. I like the way they took all of their factors that make them such a great band (the vocals, Teppei's guitar work, Rileys drums and Eddie's basslines) and structured them together so perfectly on TAITA. When I listent o IOS I just don't get the same feeling of "Wow, this is really talented ****" that I do with TAITA, because IOS is, like you said, kind of all over the place.

If you think that IOS is chaotic I invite you to listen to any Crowpath song. I think you'll find yourself crying and not understand why.

[cbmartinez]

Thanks for helping.

[frmautumTOashes]

TAITA > IOS = IC

The Artist in the Ambulance is leaps and bounds better than their old stuff.

I think you mean TAITA > (IOS = IC). It's clearer that way.

I like IOS cause it's the pefect mix of everything, heaviness, melody, vocals, lyrics, without being cliche. the songs just flow together so nice. In TAITA they were aiming for more structured songs, which some people think is better, but I think it makes the songs boring. Even Thrice says that TAITA was rushed and they didn't get to really try all the stuff they wanted to.

some people are saying that vheissu leaked, but they might be lying. No one has shown any proof. anyone have it?

[Damrod]

I could nick the song "Image Of The Invisible" from the net, but I have not seen any sign of a leaked version. And I don't want to actually, as I want to keep my expections high until the record is released here in mid October. If I download it now, I won't go out and buy it.

And: "Illusion of Safety" owns "The Artist in the Ambulance", it's the overall better album. Sure, TAITA has it's moments and isn't a bad record at all. I just think that IOS has a better variety and mix in the songs. (but it's not chaotic at all)

Listen to this album preview: http://www.islandrecords.com/thrice/18372/thr_pod_01.mp3

Dear God, this album is gonna rule.

[REAL_FOB/TBS/BN_FAN]

Thrice has been my #1 favorite band for the past 2 and a half years, since the first time heard them. Artist in the Ambulance is my favortie album if for no reason other than Blood Clots and Black Holes. I could listen to that song over and over again without getting tired of it. They are some of the most talented musicians out there today and i willl deffinatly PURCHASE ( i buy the bands i love ) thier new album as soon as it comes out. I love thier other albums too, but no song on the other ones gets me going like BC&BH, its amazing to me.

[DFelon204409]

Glad to hear that from a real Taking Back Sunday fan. You've probably been listening to TBS even before they sold out.

I am so excited for this CD. I read this review that gave it 10/10. I just really hope it's that good! I missed a chance to see them in London the other night, found out later on that Dredg supported.

:upset: I wanted to go so bad.

[Damrod]

Interesting combination, Thrice and Dredg... Would be something I want to see too

[Sep]

I got El Cielo yesterday.

[DFelon204409]

Thrice to me is pretty conclusively the best band ever excepting Weird Al.

[Lazybassplr56]

If we could only see us now is a good buy. The dvd satisfied my needs as so did the cd. Go out and buy it now.

[Coup__D_Etat]

Thrice and Dredg were awesome the other week. There was another band called 'The Blackout' who were nothing special, they were generic, camp, blood-brothers rip offs really, and it was kinda funny to see the entire audience standing dead still throughout their whole set...

Dredg were really good, I hadn't paid much attention to them before but they were a really good live act - the vox were a bit too low in the mix for my taste though, despite their pretty lengthy soundcheck. The drummer was incredible, he really rammed out some good stuff. And he finished with the classic trick of playing as his kit was being taken apart by roadies. Only to then start playing keyboard once his kit had been dismantled.


Thrice were really good too - they played 4 new songs... 'Image, TEWS, Hold Fast Hope and Stand and Feel Your Worth,' as well as about 14 other songs, finishing with 'Deadbolt' and having 'To Awake + Avenge...' as their encore. So yeah, it was good stuff - they're coming back to the UK in January with Co&Ca, or so Dustin was saying. So I'm looking forward to that too.


Ohhh and ummm... 'Between the End and Where We Lie 'has been leaked somehow or another.... it's a grower (=

oh. i thought we could post YSI links. I see they recently changed it. w/e I already got the leak.

[Nataroo]

Stand and feel your worth totally floored me when they played London, It was the most powerful song of the set. Mad impressive considering new tracks normally wash over me if I havent heard them atleast once before.

[Aguywithaguitar]

I just finished listening to the leak and gotta say. it feels like Vheissu is Thrice's OK Computer (some parts of Stand Up And Feel Your Worth even sound like Paranoid Android, but thats jsut coincedence). Except Vheissu isn't amazing, it has its moments, but the rest of it is just blah. Most of the cd cycles through the same formula too, starts out slow, goes to very big sounding chorus, then a slow verse, then chorus again, then they change up the ending. But I dont want to give it all away so ill just stop.

[JxB]

yea i got the leak too
and dont really like the style they went for this time.

[Lazybassplr56]

I'm ready for a change. Just as long as it's not to much. I don't wan't to hear the same sounding album from them over and over again.

[incubliss]

I feel bad for listening to the album early, but it's all pre-ordered so what do I have to worry about. I guess?

Did Nick close the forums down because the album leaked?

[The Fiction We Live]

I felt bad at first too... but the fact that I already pre-ordered two of the albums from tower (one as a gift for my friends b-day), and already having tickets to their show here in Nov. made me feel better.

It's a different album, much different from their older stuff; much darker and slower... Image of the Invisable is rather misleading of the album. I haven't really formed a clear opinion on it yet, I didn't like it at first but it is growing on me.

[Mute Print]

I'm not listening to it until it is officially released. I have a feeling it will be worth the wait, no matter how different it is.

[Aguywithaguitar]

it will be worth the wait, i think listening to all those samples ruined the songs for me.

[Mute Print]

I didn't even listen to the samples. The only song I've heard is Image of the Invisible, and it was a low quality live version. I can't wait.

[incubliss]

All i'm saying is, if IOS was your favourite album, you probably won't like this album very much.

It's even softer than TAITA but it's SO beautiful. Red Sky makes me shiver, when that chord kicks in towards the end, and it's so anthemic. Really looking forward to the album art too, and the 32-page booklet.

Yes, Image of the Invisible is VERY misleading for the new album. I think out of the songs released to the public so far, The Earth Will Shake is a better representation. Much softer, going to heavier parts. Most of the songs are very soft on the album, using Piano, Organ, and electronica and points (Red Sky). Dustins vocals are SO powerful on this album.

the 10/10 that absolute punk gave it is probably quite close to how I feel this album really is at the moment. I love it.

Ya, uhhh I love IOS but I'm recognizing the glory of this album on the few songs I've heard. I'm waiting for a) the official WCFM radio copy to come in and then b) the pre-prder plus vinyl to come in the mail.

[incubliss]

I just don't know how open minded everyone is around this part.

On the Thrice board, they're either strictly IOS, or can accept TAITA. I just read a lot of "wish they would go back to the IOS sound"

I love all of their albums, as they each fit a different mood but on the Thrice board it seems the general consensus is IOS or nothing.

[Damrod]

Hm, I personally don't think TAITA is a bad record. It's... different, but not bad. I personally like IOS better most of the time though.

[Angry Balled Fists!]

So, i'm up to the third track so far...

I agree 100%. After getting over the shock of how different it was than I expected, I'm addicted to it.

Like Moths To Flame is probably my favorite song on the album... I can't wait for limited edition vinyl and the huge booklet.

[pixiesfanyo]

Wow.

I'd never expect such a solid release from Thrice.

I always thought they were a good band, they always had more good then bad on their albums but never had they really released something that was solidly great in my opinion. But Vheissu is pretty ****ing great.

[frmautumTOashes]

From what I read so far Vheissu is getting mixed reviews. Some people love it, and some don't like how Thrice changed their sound. When I first heard it, I didn't know what to think. After a few listens I'm starting to like it more and more. I really like the dynamics in the songs. The build-up from quiet parts to heavy parts are done very well. A lot of the songs are slower which isn't nesscarily a bad thing, but it can get boring at times. It's good to listen to if you're in the mood, but if you want songs to get you pumped and rock out to you won't really find it on this album, with the except of maybe Hold Fast Hope. I still haven't really formed a solid opinion on Vheissu, I'm gonna have to listen to it more.

[SunnyDayRealEstateAM]

I havn't listened to it yet and I'm going to wait till it comes out, but can someone tell me how they changed their sound?

It's like a hard Dredg.

If you expect to hear a bunch of soloing/riffing. You aren't.

[DFelon204409]

It's nothing like hard Dredg. It's like Thrice beating off to Isis while having Failure and Radiohead strangulate them for further sexual arousal.

[hey, you're not cory!]

What I heard of Vheissu I really liked. I like that Teppei plays keyboard like 30 times more on this cd than he does guitar.

[pixiesfanyo]

It's nothing like hard Dredg. It's like Thrice beating off to Isis while having Failure and Radiohead strangulate them for further sexual arousal.

Where do you get Isis?

I see hardly any Isis in it.

[DFelon204409]

Everytime they mix high pitched chords with chugging ones in alternation in cool meter ("The Earth Will Shake"), any time they move around heavy and dense but musically interesting chords ("Music Box") and any time they do little secondary dominants and other applied chords with heaviness ("For Miles" and "Like Moths to Flame").

[Angry Balled Fists!]

Hmm, this is definetly a rock record.

It's great, but i can't help feeling the want for another IOS type record :(

[Fabz]

The new record is quite different from the other, slower, but I still really like it. I would say so far my favorite songs are Image Of The Invisible, Atlantic, Music Box and Red Sky.
But I still need to listen to it more, to get a better idea of the whole album.

[incubliss]

Anyone got the 5th Podcast with all the bonus material?

[DFelon204409]

I don't think it's out yet?

To be honest, I thought Image Of The Invisible was a bit of a letdown.

With every record there will be poeple that will be "disappointed as hell". There were folks between IOS and TAITA, and here it will be the same. *shrugs*

Normal way of things.

On a sidenote: I'm really diggin' Hopesfall. Good stuff :thumb:

[-1up!-]

I'm one of the few people who prefer TAITA waaaaay WAAAAAY over IOS. Is the band going in the same direction it took when going from IOS to TAITA?

[DFelon204409]

No. Not at all.

[frmautumTOashes]

[STFDood84]

I've had it for about a week now (I'm still going to buy it on 10/18), and at first I definitely had a bad vibe from it. It IS extremely different from IOS and TAITA, but as an album, it's probably their strongest one yet. Now I absolutely love it. The dynamics, orchestration, and flat-out TENSION on this album is insane. The album is friggin' EPIC, that's probably the best word to describe it. Teps has some pretty kick-*** keyboard parts, and although he's let up a lot on the riffage, the simple emotion each song gives off really makes up for it. Dustin's vox is really the strongest point of the album - his singing is simply incredible, leaps and bounds over IOS and even TAITA. The transitions from soft to hard, quiet to loud are simply terrific. And don't let the naysayers pull you away from it - it's still heavy as hell, but there's a lot of ambient/quiet parts interspersed throughout. Top 10 for 2005 for sure.

Killer songs: Music Box, For Miles (fukin' INCREDIBLE), The Earth Will Shake (the chain gang vox part is absolutely amazing, it WILL send chills up your spine), Hold Fast Hope, Stand And Feel Your Worth, Like Moths To Flame, Lullaby (B-side)

[Damrod]

I got hold of it today, and so far I am more then pleasently suprised. I heard a lot about how they changed and all that, but this was not what I would have awaited. Though I have it only for nearly a day and could only spare a few complete listens... this is really big stuff.

If this fascination carries on until it's officially released here and I go out to buy it, I'm sure this could even beat IOS as my favorite Thrice album... but for that it has to be sinkin in a bit more

[Sep]

you can listen to the entire thing on their myspace.

[incubliss]

Did anyone pre-order with Best Buy and get access to the 5th podcast and the B-side? If so, please share the wealth. I'm in Britain and cannot even pre-order from Best Buy.

On a side note, Kerrang gave Vheissu 5/5. I hope they actually talk about the friggin album this time tho, they always write reviews and talk more about the bloody history the band. I'll write the review up when I get ahold of a copy.

[DFelon204409]

I'm already 2/3 through my review. I'm going to post it this weekend since I got an advance copy hells yeyeah.

[The_Red_Death]

I just listened to the new album on their Myspace, and I am amazed. It's so different, but I love it. I'm definently buying this album.

[Deranged_Drummer15]

Looking forward to Vheissu, I'm going to buy this one. Just barely got back from seeing them live and they were amazing.

[Sep]

I'm not gonna listen until my mum brings it back from Holland in a couple weeks.

[Damrod]

I heard the release for Germany is January 2006... :(

[Sep]

That sucks. I really hope it's not for Holland.

[Damrod]

I just read that it was changed from January to the 2nd of December. Still, too long. :mad:

[Sep]

You could always order it off the internet.

[Damrod]

Yeah, but that would be even more expensive then the records are already... Well, we'll see, I'll keep my eyes open for a good deal from Amazon.co.uk or Amazon.com.

DFelon is with a radio station (college radio I think, something like that), and thus gets advanced copies of various albums over the radio station

Please don't, we have enough "Is such-n-such emo?" threads. Thrice is not emo, they are mixed post-hardcore and rock almost, far from emo.

[Deranged_Drummer15]

I know they aren't emo, and I wasn't asking if they were, I was just wondering how you guys felt about the situation and whether or not you think my friend is stupid. He likes Children of Bodom and that type of stuff so that's why he says I'm emo.

Just tell him he's emo because he listens to CoB who have emotional guitar lines.

So I just listened to Vheissu. I'm listening again, I didn't catch it all on first listen. It's dense. Worth buying on the day of its release though, I think. It's very different, but not bad I don't think.

[Deranged_Drummer15]

My friend no longer makes fun of me for listening to Thrice, haha...I'm the master. We actually had a very successful 5-hour band practice on Saturday and he and I are getting along a lot better.

About Vheissu...I don't know, loads of people say they don't like "Image of the Invisible", but I love it, along with many others from the cd. What's all your guys' opinions on the cd? Like? Dislike?

[k1ckthecat]

It's mellower, but still good, deeper I think would describe it. My favorite track is "Music Box," it's the first day it came out and I've already listened to that song 59 times and counting. "Image of the Invisible" is great too.

[DFelon204409]

I thought otherwise on "Music Box."

What's far more important is you figuring out how you will send them to me. :)

I'm now awaiting the next album, hoping they'll try and go back towards IOS.

[DFelon204409]

I'm now awaiting the next album, hoping they'll try and go back towards IOS.

I said this in my review but in case you didn't read that I think they're going to bridge progressive and arena rock with avant garde hardcore. I doubt they're going to maintain the same speed of playing that characterized their first 2.5 LPs. Unfortunately that seems to be over. There will hopefully be some great terrain out in the future as their hardcore sections get more abstract and experimental and their catchier sections aren't catchy by being pop punk but by being more in the vein of powerful Cave In like stuff.

[A_Perfect_Sonnet]

Well, as long as they don't try to become Dream Theatre... I just couldn't deal with that. I just dislike the fact that Teppei isn't trying as hard any more.

No offense to those who are so prog they only listen to Dream Theatre.

People are more likely to listen to Yes for Prog than DT, but anyways...how can you say Teppei didn't try hard on this record? I think that's doing him an injustice as he isn't the best piano player and he certainly was stretching himself to learn it well for this record. He just explored a different avenue of his musicianship.

[k1ckthecat]

There are fewer complicated overlaying riffs and more overly-structured songs on this album. I liked "Music Box" because I got a misdemeanor charge, crashed my car, and got choked by my dad all in one night, so I liked the overall zoning-outness it brought to me whilst skating at 3 in the morning. I believe Thrice is just gonna get worse if you think this album is a disappointment, it's not likely they'll go back to the good ol' days of IOS or IC.

[Damrod]

It always fascinates me how people expect bands to always stay on the same musical level for years... putting that one record out over and over again

[TakeWarning]

So is Vhessiu worth buying?

[Crunchwrap Supreme!]

Finally came today with the 7". I've digested about half of it.

[Deranged_Drummer15]

I bought Vheissu today all excited and was actually dissapointed. I feel that this was a huge jump for Thrice. I liked the old brash aggressiveness and edge of the music from before, but most of the tracks on here are slow. That being said, Of Dust and Nations and Image of the Invisible are 2 of my favorite tracks. The others are alright, I just don't feel it's as great as IOS or AITA. Yes, I realize that the band has to change as all bands do, but I just don't like this change all that much.

Overall, I'd have to give Vheissu a 3/5 as a whole.

Speaking of past albums, what are some songs that got you truly into Thrice?

[Damrod]

Speaking of past albums, what are some songs that got you truly into Thrice?

I think one of the first songs I ever heard by Thrice was... either 'Under a killing Moon' or 'The Artist in the Ambulance'. When I got TAITA, 'Stare at the Sun' and 'Artist in the Ambulance' really got me.

On Illusion of Safety it was 'To awake and avenge the dead' and 'A living dance on dead minds'

[SunnyDayRealEstateAM]

The songs "Deadbolt" and "To Awake And Avenge The Dead" really got me into them. I'll most likley purchase the new album pretty soon. it sounds kind of interesting but I sure wish they continued making songs in the vein of Deadbolt.

[stinger]

the first song i actually heard by thrice was 'in your hands' so i was slightly thrown when the second song i heard was 'deadbolt' it was probably one of the heavyest songs i had ever heard at the time (along with glassjaws EYEWTKAS and five pointe 0's untitled) *laughs to self* but iv just been into them for ages, IoS is and probably always will be my favourite album by them, however vhisue (or however you spell it) is really good i think, but my tastes have moved to more softer subtle music recently, 'for miles' is my favourite song on its just so powerful and intense, im really looking forward to seeing the material live

[Zesty Mordant]

I finally just listened to it. It's very dense and a huge jump but I really really like it. The production is just spectacular and the album as a whole is much moody-er.

I got the special edition cd with the huge 32-page booklet that has the members of the band talking about how they recorded the album and how each song came together. really cool

[Damrod]

...but my tastes have moved to more softer subtle music recently, 'for miles' is my favourite song on its just so powerful and intense, im really looking forward to seeing the material live

The ending of 'For Miles' is not very subtle though... ;)

[Deranged_Drummer15]

The first song I heard was All That's Left and that got me interested. From there, I found other songs and I was hooked. Stare at the Sun and Artist in the Ambulance really got me also.

Btw, Hold Fast Hope and Music Box are both starting to grow on me, I think I like 'em.

[Permanent Solution]

Speaking of past albums, what are some songs that got you truly into Thrice?
The first Thrice song I ever heard was Eleanor Rigby, I was using Napster (yes this is very old school) to find harder punk style covers of Beatles' songs, and came across that. It was really good so I downloaded Identity Crisis and First Impressions as that was all they had out, and really loved it. Whored them out to all my friends and burned lots of copies of the EP and the LP. Probably the first band I discovered before all my friends and shared. Back when I got it my favorite songs off IC were Ultra Blue and T&C.

[Deranged_Drummer15]

I love the solo in T&C

/guilty

[Neoteric]

Speaking of past albums, what are some songs that got you truly into Thrice?
All That's Left.

[DFelon204409]

I actually own about 10 of their records. They're all very similar.

Think about this:

Maximum Rocknroll - Sloppy almost street punk
Liberal Animation - Sort of punk with huge classic rock solos and riffs because of that dude Dave who did acid
S&M Airlines - Mix of poppy melodic punk and some of their older songwriting from Dave
Ribbed - don't have but the songs I have are okay and include some classic rock influence
White Trash... - First with El Hefe, lots of random rock influence but mostly catchy punk excepting "Straight Edge" which is jazz
Punk in Drublic - Catchy punk with occasional reggae influences
Heavy Petting Zoo - Weird mix of their catchy punk and radio rock
So Long... - Lots of ska included in catchy punk and some songs (180 degrees, and it's my job to keep punk rock elite) actually have sick hardcore intros
Pump up the Valuum - Same catchiness as so long but without any ska
War on Errorism - Sort of sucks and I dunno. Sort of a compilation of ideas from their prior 10 years.

All pretty distinctive.

All pretty distinctive.
Let me define what I mean by very similar then: Each album consists of mostly faster songs with catchy riffs over fast strummed or palmmuted progressions, good solos, a few slower songs usually with a ska/reggae feel, and all pretty good if not better.

I don't dislike that their albums are similar, but they haven't really branched out their sound much over time. I could listen to albums 10 years apart by them and I don't think I'd notice much discernible difference except the production quality.

[k1ckthecat]

that was random.
I randommed your mother last night.

Hey. Let's stop talking about NOFX.

[Crunchwrap Supreme!]

My first observation of Vheissu is a negative one. The heavy parts are sub par for Thrice. I still haven't made up my mind on the album as a whole.

[hey, you're not cory!]

Vheissu is great and is tied with and may surpass The Artist in the Ambulance as my favorite Thrice album.

I got to meet them Friday after their show. It was killer.

[Zesty Mordant]

OK, someone help me out.

How do you pronounce the title of the new album? in my head i say vay-sue, but i have a feeling its wrong.

[Permanent Solution]

Vee-sue

I believe that's right, check the site, I believe it's up there.

[Damrod]

Funny thing is, I think it's actually pronounced like the german question "Wie heisst Du?" (What is your name?), just in one word.

Wee-(h)ice-sue (or something like that)

When I put it into a program that can read it for me, it does come over as something like that

[Deranged_Drummer15]

According to the podcasts and other sources I can't remember, it's pronounced vee-sue.

[Sep]

I downloaded IotI live at some guy's talkshow- and he pronounced it as Vee-su. But I call it Vee-Hei-Su

Well, I already saw them this summer when the Pound cancelled the show and they played in the parking lot for free. Needless to say it was cool but not as energetic as I had hoped because of the relocation.

Yeah the actual band wasn't very energetic, but they always get the crowd moving really well.

[-1up!-]

I saw them yesterday, they were just awesome. They play exactly like on the record, there is nothing to comment on the voice, guitars, anything. Everything was perfect, although they weren't as energetic (as usual) as the other bands in the tour...They more than made it up with their amazing playing, though.

It's pronouced vee-su, btw.

Speaking of Vheissu...It's my favorite album by them, by far. I already loved TAITA way over IOS, but Vheissu just blows my mind.

There were a couple of bands before though, so by the time Thrice took the stage everyone was already exhausted...

[cbmartinez]

[Fabz]

Thrice were great last night, but seing such bands like Senses Fail, Early November, The Bled was an horrible experience. Also seing all those scene kids with the same Norma Jean t-shirt or Underoath t-shirt was suffering. Even worst, some people were giving a free samplers album from victory records with like 4 songs on it, their was like 1 song from Silverstein, one from June and 2 from With Honor. I was like...NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Anyway Thrice played some new songs like Image Of The Invisible, Earth Will Shake, Atlantic, Music Box and Red Sky. Also Deadbolt, Artist In Ambulance, Stare At The Sun (acoustic), Cold Cash and Colder Hearts, Silhouette, and some other I dont remember.

[DFelon204409]

They need to play freakin' "For Miles."

[k1ckthecat]

I saw them on the 18th and it was horrible. The venue was so packed (half were girls who've never heard of Thrice who went for their boyfriends) that all the preppy kids all just squished up front, leaving no room for a pit and making me feel like I was wedged between Chris Farley and Oprah's left tit. I shoved my way out and sat in the back to watch Thrice's guitars go out of tune and cords fall out multiple times. Horrible.

[DFelon204409]

You know how to solve that problem. Be more aggressive in the pit than anybody else. I saw Thrice play with Thursday and Coheed and Cambria two years ago and my friends and essentially possesses 1/4 of the floor by the end of the show because we had hurt so many of the fairweather fans by being intense. During "Jet Black New Year" I freaked out enough that this group of kids started to "mosh" into me but I split them up by being crazier. That's really the most effective way.

[k1ckthecat]

Ha, I tried that too, I started pushing the guy next to me and everyone around me, but I just ended up making 30 people fall on top of each other, including myself. I was all :upset:

What the hell you live in Montreal. I was there! :cool:

They played For Miles, DFelon, It was awesome, like all the other songs. The part at the end where Dustin starts screaming and the song literally explodes was fantastic.

They played everything Fabz listed (well it was the same show) + To Awake and Avenge The Dead, Kill me Quickly, For Miles.. I think that's it.

I enjoyed The Bled, I really like them; first time I saw them live. Though the singer had trouble keeping his scream steady... Like pretty much all bands. Underoath's frontman really looked like he was out of breath all the time.

Saves The Day was a very very painful experience to go through. What a whiny voice.

[PostHardcore6859]

The new cd sucks. Way to soft.

The Artist In The Ambulance rains supreme.

And people were saying that Vheissu was their break-through album...hah

[DFelon204409]

The only thing that needs a serious "break-through" is your spelling.

[DaveToopes]

Owned.

[fathergoat]

I wasn't a fan of the new album.

I can see why other people like it, but I like different bands for different things and thrice lost what I liked.

Favorite album would still be Illusion of Safety.

[cbmartinez]

It's really good but still a bit underwhelming. "Stand And Feel Your Worth" is the best track.

[SubtleDagger]

The first song that got me into Thrice was "To Awake And Avenge The Dead". Which rules.

I had heard "Ultra Blue" a million times before that though, so much that I despised the frigging song. "Deadbolt" also grew old pretty quick.

Haven't heard the new record yet. Too busy.

[cbmartinez]

I hate "Ultra Blue" also. I think it's might least favorite Thrice song.

[SubtleDagger]

Basically I heard "Deadbolt" and went, "This is pretty good but kind of juvenile." Which it was. Then I heard TAaATD and was hooked. And then I got the whole album. I actually dislike a bunch of songs on IoS but still like it better than TAitA just by a bit.

As for my favorite song, it's a tie between Subtle Dagger and Avenge The Dead. They're both just unbelievably good.

[-1up!-]

To Awake and Avenge The Dead ftw.

get a name change.

[SubtleDagger]

Ironically enough, I think I had originally tried to pick a bunch of names like that, but they were taken. So this one stuck.

[kingdead]

Since when did Americans spell Through, Through?

[RCVA]

How do they normally spell it?

[SubtleDagger]

Since forever.

[RCVA]

Thought so. I know you spell colour like color. Weird.

[kingdead]

What happened to 'Thru'? Ive been in arguments with you colonials before about this.

(H)ERB is the best. I love how a whole nation can fail to spot that crazy H.

[RCVA]

Like 'Drive Thru.'

[SubtleDagger]

"Thru" is just a shorter way of saying it. It's not grammatically correct though, fast food joints use it and such.

[DFelon204409]

Subtle, "Deadbolt" isn't juvenile, it just doesn't suit your tastes. There's a big difference between the two.

[SubtleDagger]

I just mean it sounds juvenile to me. The lyrics are good. The guitar line is good. The ending is just a bit too melodramatic though, I think even you've got to admit that.

[kingdead]

The live ending makes that song infinately better.

[cbmartinez]

[SubtleDagger]

I still like Deadbolt. The songs I actually adamantly dislike on IoS are In Years To Come, Trust, and yes, So Strange I Remember You.

[frmautumTOashes]

I hate "Ultra Blue" also. I think it's might least favorite Thrice song.

nah, in your hands is the worst thrice song.

[kingdead]

All eyes is still one of my favourites.

It's the only song I can't stand on that album. Sounds like how Jamie Lee Curtis looks.

[Zesty Mordant]

"The Earth Will Shake" is such a good song, I love that whole worksong call-and-answer thing. "For Miles" and "Like Moths to Flame" are excellent too.

Did anyone else buy the cd that came with the 32pg booklet where they discussed about how they wrote the album and how the songs were put together, produced, etc?

[hey, you're not cory!]

It's the only song I can't stand on that album. Sounds like how Jamie Lee Curtis looks.
I don't care for All That's Left, and I absolutely loathe Stare At The Sun and The Melting Point Of Wax.

I agree with the first two, but MPOW = secks.

I don't get you. :|

Hoods On Peregrine has frigging awesome guitar work and sweet rhythm changes.

MPoW is boooooooring.

[Damrod]

I guess it's all up to personal taste. I like both :)

Ya but it's poignant and well written. Sometimes I question whether or not you're an android, but then I usually just go see what's on the TV.

I love how Thrice do quite a few parts in 5/4.

No it's not. Icarus was a tired metaphor even before Iron Maiden was beating it to death. Not to mention that I didn't care for it too much the first time... when it was called "SEE YOU IN THE SHALLOWS".

Anyway, I just listened to almost all of the new CD. Here are my thoughts as I noted them:

"Image" is a big disappointment. Do these guys need that big hit single that
badly? Come on. It's just so predictable. This is the only song I can't see really liking at any point in time. It is all that's left of "All That's Left" lol!

But seriously, I don't like it much at all. Moving along...

I haven't listened to "The Earth Will Shake" anywhere near enough times yet
to give any sort of clear insight. As of now, it's solid.

"Atlantic". Pretty. Um. Not beautiful. Just. Pretty.

2:20 of "For Miles" is godly. Why is everyone talking about the end? All I hear from everyone is "lol the end of For Miles is real gud lol". Yes, it's good. But Christ man, the rest of the song is even better. Great song.

"Hold Fast Hope" is really good, reminds me of that song they left off
TAITA, except it's cooler. I forgot the name of that other song and I have no idea why this reminds me of it, but it does.

"Music Box" is a cool idea. Yes, it's a cheesy idea, but **** man,
T & C was a REALLY ****ing cheesy idea, and it was still pretty good. By 3:00 it's just getting better and better in my mind. This is the first song to just grow on me really easily. I get the feeling I'll get really tired of it in the near future though.

"Like Moths To Flame". Gorgeous. The softer sections' chord sequences
are simple but amazing. Sounds like stuff that takes me days of
screwing around on the guitar to even come close to. And the heavy
stuff is actually INTERESTING. Not just chugging. It's cool that
they've even evolved their heavier stuff.

"Of Dust And Nations". Really, really, really beautiful. Teppei makes me
wonder why he's never used a frigging delay pedal before. And the
singing is just beyond good. Everything about this song is aces. ACES!

And I'm getting to the other two, but I don't expect much of a change. It's funny, it seems like Thrice is paving the road here. They went hardcore-ish, then they went metalcore-ish, and now they go indie/post-hardcore-ish. It's like they can predict the future or something. Granted, I don't expect this sort of music to become popular anytime soon. But Christ, this is really good. I can honestly say that since there is only one song I really dislike, this is probably my favorite Thrice album out of all of them.

Ya, because they're paving the way, tons of bands are copying them. However, this time Hopesfall beat them to the punch at creating interesting heavy post-hardcore mixed with radio rock. New Thrice's heavier moments are better than Hopesfall's new heavier moments though.

[Sep]

Is The Earth Will Shake like the heaviest song on Vheissu?

[Damrod]

I would say Hold Fast Hope is

[Sep]

My mum couldn't buy me Vheissu when she was in Holland because the release date there is like the 19th of November as well. It made me sad.

[Damrod]

Funny thing is, I saw it at a local record store last week. Had no chance to ask if it was imported or something like that though

[Sep]

I hate how the new releases they do get here in Oman are always 2 months late.

Yeah, but the thing is that you can listen to this album and tell they weren't ripping off Hopesfall.

It just seems like everything they make is really their own thing.
