| Thrice's Albums Ranked
Thrice's albums ranked best to worst minus "Identity Crisis" which I haven't heard | | 1 |  | Thrice
The Artist In The Ambulance
To me, this album has no filler and is in my Top 10. Every song sounds distinct, yet like there was a pretty
equal amount of inspiration behind it, and is an example of how metalcore can be done very compellingly
and with musical integrity. Also their first album showing true lyrical insight. Best tracks: The Artist In The
Ambulance, All That's Left, Don't Tell And We Won't Ask | | 2 | | Thrice
The Alchemy Index I-II
These are the most produced of the EPs, but the songwriting really rose to the occasion. The first showed
Thrice taking their post-hardcore metalcore sound to a whole new caustic, Refused-esque level. The
second expanded the ideas of "Atlantic" and "Red Sky" into plaintive, beautiful balladry. Best songs:
Firebreather, The Whaler, Kings Upon The Main | | 3 |  | Thrice
Vheissu
Although I think the end of the album is a disappointment, the diversity of instrumentation and style on
this album is done in a more artistically genuine way than on the Alchemy Index EPs. This album was
Thrice's first step into truly original territory. Best tracks: The Earth Will Shake, Atlantic, Hold Fast Hope | | 4 |  | Thrice
Beggars
I admit to being disappointed in this album's complacency and disinterest in really pushing the envelope,
and Dustin overuses the same lyrical meter a bit (The Great Exchange, All The World Is Mad, The Weight)
but this is a thoroughly fun take on the old indie/post-hardcore cliches that show Thrice's total command
of their chosen form of music. Best songs: The Weight, Wood and Wire, Beggars | | 5 |  | Thrice
The Illusion Of Safety
This album wasn't quite as polished, confident or powerful as The Artist In The Ambulance, and
occasionally dwells within generic punk/metalcore type sounds. Those being the only real flaws. This
album is just another facet of Thrice's ability to excel at any kind of music, and it is (very) arguably their
best "song" album. Best songs: Deadbolt, Kill Me Quickly, The Beltsville Crucible | | 6 | | Thrice
The Alchemy Index III-IV
This album wasn't bad, it just really didn't capture me and I feel like they weren't yet comfortable with this
style of music, as they later proved on Beggars. Certain songs dragged and a few seemed underwritten.
Even Thrice's worst is still worthy of a lot of respect, though, and I really like this album. Best tracks:
Broken Lungs, The Earth Isn't Humming, Child Of Dust | |
chaseguitar
08.28.09 | No identity crisis? haha i never listened to that either. for me, it'd go 3, 1, 4, 5, 2, 6. For some reason, I just never could get into the alchemy indexes like i did with the other albums. | Niceinvader
08.28.09 | Can't agree with the illusion of safety being 5. It is just a tad better then artist, just for the simple fact that it doesn't have any boring songs.
6 is in the right spot, that album never really captured my attention the way thrice should.
Haven't heard beggars yet. But i'm holding out for the CD release. | Avirov
08.28.09 | Beggars isn't better than Illusion Of Safety. It's just not. | Groink
08.28.09 | 1, 3, 5, 4, and then the Alchemy Indexes.. | LepreCon
08.28.09 | Personally I think beggars and Vheissu are above Alchemy Index Vols I-II but w/e don't really like Thrice | killrobotmusic
08.28.09 | 3. 2. 1. 4. 6. 5. Idenity Crisis. But 4-6 are pretty interchangeable. Illusion of Safety has awesome lyrics and some good tunes but a lot of the songs aren't that good and the production is pretty crap. | Phantom
08.29.09 | 5,1,IC,3,4,2,6
fight me | Craigmn01
08.29.09 | out of what i've heard so far, my order would be 3, 5, 1. i love all 3 though. | Shrapnel94
08.29.09 | I am yet to hear the whole discography, but 1 is pretty friggin amazing | Satellite
08.29.09 | Vheissu > Beggars > III & IV > Illusion > I & II > Artist >>> Identity | Spare
08.29.09 | wouldn't really say the artist in the ambulance is "metalcore" | Mordecai.
08.29.09 | yeh, but some tracks sort of are. Its like a mix of metalcore tracks and pop punk tracks | killrobotmusic
08.29.09 | I would say it's progressive jazz deathcore with some hip-hop influence thrown in for good measure. | Otisbum
08.29.09 | Satellite's pretty much got my views down, though I might switch Artist and I & II. |
