Thrice's Elements Project

Why Will It Suck?: Because no matter what Dustin Kensrue and company will tell you about "changing the band's sound" and "pushing boundaries" — something they seemingly do whenever there's a new album to promote — everything the band does sounds exactly the same. Throw in a half-baked "concept" (four EPs, each based on one of the Earth's elements) and this one has the potential to blow everything past, present or future directly out of the water in terms of suckitude.


Maybe MTV also has the potential to blow everything past, present, or future directly out of the water in terms of suckitude. At least they rip hard into 50 Cent and Kelly Clarkson too on this one.

Thrice should write a response about MTV's music programming...or lack thereof.

Edit: And any writer that invents a word like "suckitude" should have his journalism degree stripped from him.This Message Edited On 07.18.07

Ya that's a weird collection of bands to care about. Also I dig that your only album ranking is for Off Minor. Weird science indeed.

I e-mailed the guy. I don't remember the specifics but it had something to do with felching crap out of a dying whale's ass through the hole in his Garbage CD.

I heard a Thrice track a long time ago, and it wasn't that bad. I'll probably look into their new album when it comes out.

The new songs aren't crazy or anything. The ones are youtube actually very typically Thrice. It's just there's a lot more content and it's really varied.

Interesting.. I wasn't aware MTV still discussed music.

As for Thrice; I think it sounds interesting. I hope the promises of a more advanced sound are true. I think Vheissu was a step in the right direction, but they need to take it one step further.

MTV once again shows they don't know shit about music. This is the same MTV that said Mastodon sounded like Metallica.

I'm pretty sure Vheissu sounds nothing like their earlier work.

Thrice is not amazing but they're pretty good. MTV is just burnt-out and hateful from spending all their time fellating Nelly and Good Charlotte and need somebody to pick on. Who even cares anyway? I don't know anybody who watches MTV and doesn't feel guilty about it.

mtv doesn't know squat. They only care about top 40 and rap

If everything Thrice does sounds the same, then every single last one of their fucking trl countdowns might as well be by three artists; one for rap, one for pop punk, and one for pop. But on a more serious note, I completely disagree with whoever said the writer of the article needs to be kicked in the head by a horse. Clearly the guy already is dumb enough as it is.

He needs to be kicked in the balls by a horse instead. Lol at MTV. They go and praise Nickelback albums when they clearly all sound the same and then they bash Thrice.

pogostick11, of course MTV only cares about top 40. that's their bread and water.

not my fault you all think MTV should have an artistic backbone, here's a shocker: it never did and it never will.

I wouldn't be shocked if Island Records put MTV up to doing that considering they were dropped a few weeks ago.

ToWhatEnd

Ha, I never even thought of that but that could be a possibility. I have lost most of the respect I had for Island, first Thursday, then Thrice and hell even FightStar who I could care less about complaining Island wanted to make them poppier. After multiple accounts of that complaint, I'm going to label Island a record who only gives a damn about how many records an artist will sell, not what the artist actually wants to do/sound like.

Yeah, MTV can suck my hairy, sweaty balls. Every Thrice album sounds the same? Ha! Like anyone who works at MTV has any idea what good music is, anyway.
