All this Thrice love is making my nipples hard.

Sintheros · « **Reply #176 on:** October 05, 2010, 03:03:09 AM »

Thrice is awfully hit or miss when I listen to them.

Sigz · « **Reply #177 on:** October 05, 2010, 03:04:17 AM »

They're not hard anymore.

Marvellous G · « **Reply #178 on:** October 05, 2010, 10:27:57 AM »

The Alchemy Index has just been one enormous hit with no misses for me so far. I guess I'll try Beggars after this has sunk in.

I WILL NEVER FLY AGAIN

You say you don't "get" Thrice after quoting a song I could listen to for a week straight and not get tired of? I am confused.

In The Wake Of Poseidon · « **Reply #182 on:** October 05, 2010, 06:43:44 PM »

The impossible question. What will be the style for the next Thrice album?

antigoon · « **Reply #183 on:** October 05, 2010, 06:45:49 PM »

sorry for trolling. I'll give The Alchemy Index another chance.

antigoon · « **Reply #184 on:** October 05, 2010, 07:32:57 PM »

yeah I take it back, I dig this. I can't put my finger on why, but I get a TDH vibe from some of it.

Sigz · « **Reply #185 on:** November 09, 2010, 03:51:38 AM »

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I think Thrice has overtaken Opeth and PT as my favorite artist.

And on a tangential note, I'm gonna do a top 50 albums list in the near future. I haven't done any kind of 'big' lists, they've all just been top 20. Should be interesting, at least for me.

glaurung · « **Reply #186 on:** November 09, 2010, 04:38:31 AM »

Did you hear that? What was it? Oh, that was the sound of Steven Wilson's heart breaking.

Opeth I can understand. I still love Opeth more than Thrice right now, mostly because its autumn/winter, which is prime Opeth listening time.

But PT?

This is blasphemy. BURN THE WITCH!

Zantera · « **Reply #190 on:** November 09, 2010, 06:14:49 AM »

Thrice is fantastic, but i don't think they'll ever be more then "just" a top10 band for me.
Reason being that i'm not that fond of their early style, which kinda rules out half of the discography.

Gorille85 · « **Reply #191 on:** November 09, 2010, 06:34:15 AM »

Thrice is a top5 band for me.

Marvellous G · « **Reply #192 on:** November 09, 2010, 10:35:33 AM »

I don't see how one could prefer Thrice to PT. Opeth, yes, but PT no way for me.

Seventh Son · « **Reply #193 on:** November 09, 2010, 10:38:33 AM »

Guys rec me a Thrice album to listen to so I can be one of the cool kids

THE ALCHEMY INDEX

Gadough · « **Reply #195 on:** November 09, 2010, 10:50:44 AM »

I'm gonna be completely honest here.

I listened to several songs off The Alchemy Index, and I don't get it. I didn't dislike what I heard, but damn, I tried really hard to understand why you're all cumming buckets over it and I just can't figure it out. Daedalus in particular was entirely underwhelming. I dunno. Maybe I'm not listening right. Could the problem be that I didn't listen to The Alchemy Index all the way through?

A lot of bands are like this though. You don't get them at first but after so many listens they're suddenly awesome. I find this to be especially true of bands that utilize harsh vocals.

I flat out didn't get Daedalus' appeal for a while, but I really did get into it within a week or two. Also, Digital Sea's chorus is the most immediately appealing thing I've ever heard! I say persevere for a while longer, it really did seem unremarkable to me at first (except the Water EP)

Silver Tears · « **Reply #198 on:** November 09, 2010, 10:57:43 AM »

I tried listening to some Thrice today, it was alright but didn't seem that great $:-\$ I'll keep going with it though, 'cos music tends to really grow on me.

Or you're just a terrible person. Honestly I have no idea. The first time I ever heard Thrice was a few years ago where I blind-played Daedalus on my radio show, simply because I had heard they were a good band and Daedalus was a character/AI in Deus Ex. I was completely blown away, and have been a huge fan since. So at least for me, I don't think it's necessary to listen to it all the way through.

It's opposite for me. Most of what I like to listen to, I liked immediately upon first hearing it. Music doesn't really grow on me so this doesn't portend well for Thrice. $:-\$

Silver Tears · « **Reply #201 on:** November 09, 2010, 11:02:36 AM »

Weird, the music I like best all took me a while to get into. Sure there are some songs/albums that I like immediately and still like now, but all my top albums took at least a few listens before I got them.

Marvellous G · « **Reply #202 on:** November 09, 2010, 11:02:45 AM »

Eh, I'm like Tahlia, I can't remember anything I've really liked from my favourite bands on first listen other than Octavarium and Heartattack In A Layby. I though all of Images & Words and Glass Prison were terrible on my first listens, and I hated Aenima for about five weeks, and it's now a top 5 album for me.

Well you do like Undisputed Attitude.

I loved The Alchmy Index right away...and I think it changes something to listen to it all the way through. It really is an amazing journey.

faemir · « **Reply #206 on:** November 09, 2010, 06:48:50 PM »

Listen to the entire double album through 10 times, then come back and report your real initial verdict.

Ravenheart · « **Reply #209 on:** November 16, 2010, 05:40:20 PM »

I'm not too familiar with a decent amount of these bands, but they sound pretty cool. And of course Agalloch, Pain of Salvation, and Devin Townsend are awesome

I wanna do a list like this, but I don't think I'm too familiar 'round these parts to have any real followers
