At first listen I am felt slightly let down. Thrice is starting to become very generic alt-rock. To me they hit a high point with Vheissu and completely mastered their work with The Alchemy Index. Beggars has no real hooks and nothing really discernible about their sound. While there are some high points the CD as a whole has really given their listeners much. But then again, after the Alchemy Index, who was expecting another masterwork? |
