Haven't bothered with this for a while. I have actually been giving some of Identity Crisis listens again, and dammit, it's actually pretty good. Only took me like 15 years to start appreciating it.
I don't remember disliking Wake Up, but I do remember not being a fan of Stay With Me.

This dipped a little too much into the mainstream at times for me, but it still has some killer songs that live up to their earlier material, like Hurricane, The Long Defeat / Seneca, and Death From Above.

by all means, it's not a terrible album. it's just an average rock album. some good moments, nothing truly brilliant and some real stinkers. not what I've come to expect out of a Thrice album.
@Ecnalzen: yes, that album is great imo. Torch to end all torches, t/t, ultra blue are some examples of great songs from that release. love how raw it is and the song-writing is pretty solid. some great ideas on there. might have to spin it again for old times' sake.

Identity Crisis jams and the songs sound wonderful on their live records

Wouldn't mind a re-recording of that album. The production is quite gash but I suppose it's part of its charm too.

Long Defeat and Hurricane were my favorites from here.
Heck yeah, osmark, Torch and T&C are two of my favorites off it.
I would check out a remaster or re-recording of Identity and Illusion, actually, but a re-recording of either might fall kind of flat since Dustin doesn't really do straight up screaming anymore, at least he didn't the last time I saw them play, anyway. I think Eddie did most of them.
If I could just have the first two or three albums with the cleans redone with how he sounds now, that would probably sound awesome.

Last time I saw Thrice, probably two years ago, Dustin was still doing the same amount of harsh vocals he always has, IMO

I saw them in support of this, and he hardly screamed at all at the show I was at. They really didn't play much from the post hardcore stuff anyway, but the ones they did (Earth will Shake, Silhouette are the ones I remember specifically) were mostly Eddie doing harsh or Dustin starting to scream and tapering off pretty quick and doing more singing/grit/yelling.
Maybe it was an off night, I don't know.

That's strange. It must have been an off night for sure. I saw them on tour supporting this and it was one of the best setlists and performances I've ever seen from them. Beggars and M/M were the most neglected albums, with the setlist consisting mostly of tracks from Artist through Alchemy with new cuts thrown in

Ah, I think I found the setlist from the show I was at.
This should be it:

They played Daedalus so that made my fucking night regardless.

I got Treading Paper/Anthology instead of Stay With Me/Yellow Belly, otherwise we saw the same set. That set is killer, although now that I think about it, only five of those songs actually have screaming. Dustin definitely handled the screaming at my show except for the quick parts that him and Ed have always shared (the ending of Cold Cash, for example).

Also, Daedalus and For Miles are my two favorite Thrice songs, so they could've played a bunch of songs that I disliked and I'd have still been cumming in my pants.

I would have taken those both over Stay With Me.
The chorus to Silhouette is the main example that still sticks in my mind. He mostly just sang/yelled it and that chorus just doesn't sound right without the harsh vox.
Ha ha, you would have been basting in your own juices and not have a care in the world.

Stay With Me is definitely cringey and I love Treading Paper, so good trade in my eyes. I would've liked to hear Yellow Belly though.
I actually like the way he does Silhouette's chorus now. It's like one step below screaming where he will aggressively sing a few of the words before going into a deep scream at the end of a phrase. Dat screaming at the end of For Miles though-

All of the songs on here are better live (the ones that they do play)

'Also, I'm not sure how you can hear Dustin's singing and claim that Thrice lacks passion'
His delivery here just doesn't feel as genuine as in the past. Feels phoned in sometimes, particularly when he's more aggressive.

The verse riff of that new song is better than the entirety of this album, although the chorus is very bland
