OK, so Beggars is friggin incredible and I will kill then skullrape everyone that disagrees.

Beggars is my favourite album of all time. It quite literally saved my life.

What do you mean? (It's OK if you're not comfortable talking about this)

I had been going through a very lengthy depression, and by the time I had finished listening to the album I felt like my life had changed.
The Great Exchange in particular really reached me. I give full credit to that song, and it still is my favourite song of all time.

That's pretty awesome. I actually started listening to the lyrics on the songs over the last listen and from what I could get from them there are some great topics they touch on on that album. The lyrics on "Beggars" are absolutely fantastic.

This is what I find most incredible about thrice. At first, I think: "Wow, this song is cool!". Then later, once I've heard it a few more times and know the lyrics, I realize that every song comes together as a perfect entity, and that the album is so much more than it is at first listen.

Take for example, the endings of each album. I never realized that the endings of the last songs are the same, but with different lyrics, until last week. So brilliant.

Does anyone know if there are 5.1 mixes of any Thrice albums, and if not, then why?

Okay, I've had the Alchemy Index for quite a while now but just got around to listening to it tonight.

Holy shit!  Amazing, all of them.  What now? (this was my first Thrice album)

However, you can't go wrong with Beggars or The artist in the ambulance either.

I think it's their best album. Mind you, I consider the alchemy index two separate albums.

Every song is great. For miles, the earth will shake, between the end and where we lie, music box, hold fast hope, of dust and nations, red sky.....oh man, NEED TO LISTEN TO VHEISSU!

I had constant shivers through Daedalus on my walk today, then i listened to Earth and I practically cried for come all you weary and child of dust.

I'm pretty much set for having come all your weary for my funeral song.

I'm surprised by the insane amount of love Daedalus gets.
Sure its one of their best songs, and would easily rank in my top5 thrice-songs, but overall i think the band´s catalog is insanely good, and Daedalus isn't miles better then everything else like some people make it sound.  :P

Does Thrice have any other material similar to Water? I can't get over how good that Ep is.

Yeah, Atlantic, Between the End and Where We Lie, and For Miles off of Vheissu resemble that sound.
And Circles, In Exile, Wood & Wire, The Great Exchange, and Beggars are in that style as well.
Granted of all of those Atlantic is the closest to the "Water" sound, but the others share similar properties. Plus, they are all great songs.

I've been listening to Thrice for about two years now, and I don't think I've ever left the honeymoon phase with them.
