Emim? What is this an Office reunion? This is going to be like the Fearless thread for Taylor Swift all over again, which is a shame because I actually tried to make this review good.

That is where Major/Minor steps in to complete Thrice’s evolution.


this is a strange sentence

It’s the same old Thrice that continues to give us something truly new, which in today’s era, is a gift that will never die.


should read "truly new which, in today's era, is" or "truly new, which- in today's era- is"

Also, could you italicize the lyrics? I don't mean to sound picky or anything and this a really good review but it makes it harder for me to read.

Alright, getting this back on track then, what's your favorite track? I gotta go with the Sputnik consensus and say Anthology.

the comma could go after which or new, depending on how you read it



and I don't see anything wrong with that sentence, what do you find strange about it?

@Armpit: Thanks! Always nice to hear : )



@ties: nothing wrong with getting a little off track, especially when it has to do with the office ; ) ... but anyway my favorite tracks are "Promises", "Treading Paper", "Anthology" and "Disarmed"...hard to say which one is the best but I'd probably go with Disarmed right now

I don't remember what the name of the part of speech is called, but 'which' is supposed to be outside of the commas

and I don't see anything wrong with that sentence, what do you find strange about it?


There is nothing wrong with it at all. I guess I expected something else, or different phrasing. That's what strange about it

i think the only thing wrong about it is your choice of words



"in today's era" ... this whole sentence is playing with time and change, old and new... why place it in "today's era" and then immediately follow with a statement that it will "never die" ... just would be better without "in today's era" imo



btw this is really nit-picky. as a review this is more than adequate and i pos'd.

Screw it, bumping the rating. This album is so consistent.

thanks academy, and I'm not trying to resist constructive criticism or anything when I say this, but what's wrong with saying in today's era? i think that with the rate music is consumed in today's society, an album possessing a completely fresh quality that will in essence make it timeless could be described using both "in today's era" and "never die"



i could be wrong for sure, just wanted you to see what i was thinking when i wrote it



@ties: solid choice, solid choice.

Still have to hear this. Loved all their other stuff though. I'll read the review tomorrow.

again, there's nothing technically wrong with it, it's just a question of style.



also, if something is timeless, it has no place in any era

Anthology, Call It In The Air and Promises are the tracks I like the most. Everything else is just so meh for me. I understand that musically, it's a "really good" record. I just can't get into this or Beggars. At all.

Got this in the mail today and just took a night drive to listen through it. Utterly stunning. The first half of the album has some room to grow on me for sure but seriously the whole second half, from Treading Paper on just blew me away. The end of Disarmed is one of the most beautiful things I've heard in a while. Will hold off on a rating till a few more listens but it's easily at least a 4.
