I can't even think what you could possibly criticise about the vocals but ok...

they are too high in the mix, just kind of defeats all the beautiful things going on in the background. not the biggest fan of kensrue's clean vocals in the first place though so that might explain why i'm not so fond of them

Each to their own, I guess I don't understand how them being slightly high in the mix could 'ruin it so badly' given that they're pretty inoffensive and pleasant-sounding.

They're probably high in the mix as they're the centrepiece of songs like The Whaler, and they sound fucking gorgeous on that.

Nvm spun Fire for the first time in years and it's incredibly tedious and generic. At least water has some creativity

Going through Thrice’s discog for the first time and just got to this today. Holy god is this good. Especially Water but they’re both excellent. I think it’ll continue to grow on me and could become a 5. Might even be better than Vheissu but we shall see after a few more spins.

Just curious because I haven’t heard Air/Earth yet but which one do you all generally consider to be superior: Fire/Water or Air/Earth? What would be your ranking of all the EPs?

Not a Thrice fan but Night Diving is absolutely gorgeous

Yeah that’s definitely one of the standouts here, along with Open Water, Lost Continent, Firebreather and The Messenger.

I feel like The Whaler and The Arsonist are hella good too

It's hard to rank the elements because it depends entirely on my mood at the time but I do know that Daedalus is tied for best Thrice song and Earth (IV) is always at the bottom of the four.



Also, the Messenger is totally underrated.

[2] glad I'm not the only one, dont understand the praise their popular stuff gets, daedalus especially.

which is why i dont 'get' this band, i always feel like their album's deep cuts trump their fan favorites

Man I am really loving this. Thrice are blowing me away. Looking forward to going through the rest of their discog. Looks like Beggars and M/M are considered by many to be some of their best work.
