Dustin and Ed screaming together at the end of Summer Set Fire single-handedly justifies the reunion

So I guess it's obvious but is it the first part of a double album with Horizons / West as the next one?

Why does this keep getting compared to Beggars? Why is that the landmark? I think it sounds more like it's between M/m and To Be. Kind of campy and sonically predictable, but mixed with some of the newer accessible sensibilities and sometimes darker tinge.
Still waiting for something to hit again like Hurricane or Salt and Shadow or The Long Defeat did when they came back. Or The Window. I was a lot more excited 5 years ago.

Beggars is one of Thrice's very best records, so yeah, this is not like Beggars at all
Edit: Settled on a 3.0. I'm a huge Thrice fan though so that score is indicative of a pretty significant letdown. I actually like Palms quite a bit better.

Beggars is lyrically thrices best album in my opinion, but I think major minor is their best album overall. Palms ain't bad but there's only three songs on there I truly like

seen a lot of ppl who have been lukewarm on their recent material say this is the best theyve sounded in a while so i gotta get to it today. beggars is the last album i really care about outside of a few songs on m/m
(also given horizons/west is coming eventually im already prepared to playlist the shit out of this if i dont like some of it)

Both Beggars and M/M had weaker tracks, but there was more sonic variation on the former (and as you mentioned, the best lyrics of their entire discog). Post-hiatus, their lyrics and creativity have really stagnated. I could get into Palms because it was catchy at least. This one, I dunno. The "experimentation" is pretty weak by their standards and few tracks stand out. Thrice usually grows so we'll see, but the early returns on this are pretty low.

Lotta hate for "Buried in the Sun" here. To me, it's an album highlight... Taken on its own it's a bit ordinary, but on an album as multilayered and complex as Horizons/East, sometimes it's just fun to throw in a 3-minute palate cleanser to rock out to.
Sure, the lyrics on it are cringe, but they're Dylan-esque compared to the garbage we were fed on "TBEITBN"

sometimes I wish Thrice would put their soft ethereal closers somewhere else in the tracklist so it didn't feel like an obligatory tacked-on ending, and they could actually incorporate it organically into the album

as long as i get my soft ethereal thrice somewhere i dont rlly care where it is but yea that would be more interesting

"Why does this keep getting compared to Beggars? Why is that the landmark?"
it was their last good album and is also their best
this doesn't sound like it at all, you're correct there but it does sound billions of degrees more interesting than the last 3 "what if thrice but boring Octane radio rock?" albums

Have yet to listen to the new album, but got say that I saw them live at Riot yesterday and they are still crushing it. Wasn’t big on the tracks they played from this though

M/M is better than Beggars [3]
Also I think this keeps getting compared to Beggars because sonically, there are definitely some similarities in the writing department, not to mention Teppei engineered both albums and that's been a big talking point in every review or bit of press I've seen for this.

M/M is better than Beggars [4]
M/M was my introduction to the band so it will hold a special place
