Album Rating: 3.5
Illusion and Artist are complementary in their strengths and failings (other than the vox, which you just have to take rose-tinted) and will always be this band's high point

Idk, man, I still think that belongs to Vheissu.

Album Rating: 3.5
easy to argue either way tbh - I think those albums own being of their time in a way that sits q well now. Vheissu was obviously a brave attempt to do something innovative and different, but I feel its dated qualities hurts it worse than the other two's bc it doesn't own them in the same way?
I guess that makes caring about Artist/Illusion a little more dependent about caring about that time and sound in the first place, but I have no issue with that lol

Yeah, that's a fair take. I'm a huge fan of Vheissu so I'm definitely overlooking some of its dated qualities. But damn do I love that album.

Vheissu doesn’t sound particularly dated to me. Some of Dustin’s vocal melodies but that’s about it

Artist is honestly just unlistenable unless you grew up with that scene and are nostalgic for it. Illusion, same story but with some actual cool riffs

Probably the wrong thread to ask for this, but does anyone have the acoustic version of Anthology that came with the pre-order? I'm looking for a high quality version.
Oh and Vheissu is the best Thrice album. Artist is awesome but I don't like the production very much.

at some point Dustin hinted that the mix for Artist ended up being nothing like they planned and ever since I've just wanted a remastered Artist

Thrice are indeed good

this is certainly better as to be everywhere but i'm still not convinced by this band. i'm not a fan of the vocals at all. instrumentally this is pretty good though, i like the bass sound and some guitar lines are really nice as well. it does remind me a little bit of the kind of arena rock I dislike occasionally which is a turn off

I'm 100% with you with the guitar and bass sound. I dig the vocals, it's the lyrics that bore me.

I personally think this is among their best, along with Vheissu (closely followed by Alchemy Vols 1 and 2).

The lyrics here are definitely the start of Dustin's decline. And I was really hard on this album when it dropped because of it. I guess I have become more accepting of the lyrical decline, and this one is still a lot better lyrically than the post-hiatus output. So I appreciate M/M a lot more now. One of their best releases.

When this dropped I figured the lyrics paled in comparison because of how good Beggars' lines were. This still isn't terrible lyrically, but yeah they really dropped off after the hiatus. Dustin likes to say that he doesn't like the approach they used to take and would never write lyrics like that again, but I think he just doesn't have it and refuses to admit it, or doesn't want the pressure and would rather just churn out political platitudes to be gobbled up by the willing masses.

Yeah it's definitely hard to understand the shift as an intentional, aesthetic decision. And if it was that, then Dustin has completely lost touch of what's good.
