two years after their comeback from a not all that long hiatus, Thrice are back with new music and it’s definitely a Thrice song
…unless it’s a Foo Fighters song, which it’s not, it’s a Thrice song.
I quite like the new one.
And they were really good last night in London. Spot on.
Was gutted to miss that. Not 100% on the new one but hope there’s an album on the way.
I believe the album is still being finished but might be wrong. As they’re touring a lot in the latter part of the year I imagine that’s when it’ll be out.
That’ll do. I guess they wanted to have something new for the fans for these shows
better Brand New arent they
In some ways yes, but i used to prefer Brand New… In the past.
crack Deadbolt on
Thrice are once again back to prove once and for all, they are indeed Thrice
Might as well bump this, if people are listening to the new album.
listened to half of it earlier, but giving it a full listen now. The first thing that stood out to me was that the bass seems very prominent. It definitely feels like they spent more time thinking out the music this time, compared with Palms, though. I do find some of Dustin’s vocals a bit much, but that’s not exactly new.
Uuuh… mates
They’ve entirely re-recorded TAITA and just dropped it at a day’s notice
Highlights:
- a snare that sounds like an actual drum
- the dreamiest guitar tones known to man
- ANDY FUCKING HULL
lowlights:
- yer man from Architects showing up to ruin the end of Under A Killing Moon
- occasionally, compression is Good Actually

This just popped up on my Spotify, quite enjoying it for what it is tbh. Way better than making an acoustic or more laid back version of the album which i was half expecting

As someone who had this CD on repeat in the car for probably a full month after it came out (and then most of 2003, alternating with TBS and [redacted], I have really enjoyed ‘rediscovering’ it today. Usually when bands do this it’s too weird but maybe it’s the 20 year distance, or maybe it’s the very dated production on the original but I’ve been massively enjoying this. Can see it becoming my go-to version tbh

Reading around this, it appears that the main purpose of these re-recordings is to have the 20th anniversary vinyl reissue on their own label (it’s not even on Epitaph, who have put out everything they’ve released since they reunited). Something similar to the recent Four Year Strong reissue. can’t blame them of course, but it makes the decision to lean fully into doing the songs as they sound now and not simply recreating the original even more interesting.
That said, this album can’t be found on vinyl for anything approaching a sensible amount so those reissues are going to fly off the merch table.
Fuck this is good

Really interesting (to me at least) is that it seems to sound better on speakers than headphones. The low-end is almost missing on my Momentum 4 and airpod pro’s, but it’s got loads of beef when listening on Sonos. Seems like it’s been deliberately mixed/mastered to sound better out loud which kinda ties in with the “this is for the vinyl re-issue” theory.
Had someone else tell me it sounded even better in their car, which made me realise the only way for me to truly test this is to find a '92 VW Golf and test it on the built in speakers

My love of Thrice started around the tail end of Vheissu/beginning of the Alchemy Index. I never quite clicked with this album as their songwriting had progressed so much since then. I do like this updated version though. Probably more than the original.
