I'm not a fan of Stay With Me too. On the third listen I would say it's another great album (they have never done a bad album, even Identity Crisis is great for me). My favourites are half of the songs of the album at this point (Hurricane, The Window, The Long Defeat with Seneca, Whistleblower and Salt and Shadow). I really like every song, only Wake Up and Stay With Me are only good and not great.
But honestly, I still like old Thrice a bit more, I don't know if some songs of this album will enter my Thrice top 10, but the whole album is really consistent!

LordCost · « **Reply #1226 on:** May 31, 2016, 06:55:09 AM »

My top 10 in album order:

Cold Cash And Colder Hearts
The Abolition Of Man

For Miles (one of the best songs ever and definitely top 1 of Thrice for me)
Like Moths To Flame
The Earth Will Shake
Weight Of Glory

The Flame Deluge

All The World Is Mad
Beggars

one among The Weight, The Arsonist, Lost Continent, various songs from The Artist In The Ambulance or Call It In The Air, just to add the other albums on the list.

Zantera · « **Reply #1227 on:** May 31, 2016, 07:00:42 AM »

For Miles is definitely my favorite Thrice song

icarus4321 · « **Reply #1228 on:** May 31, 2016, 12:09:03 PM »

I am extremely happy with this album. As a whole, it might actually be my favorite since Vheissu. I really wish the Chicago show wasn't sold out. I missed the on sale date and now secondary markets are selling for close to $70 a ticket. Song rankings so far:

1. Death From Above
2. Black Honey
3. Salt and Shadow
4. Hurricane
5. The Long Defeat
6. Blood on the Sand
7. Whistleblower
8. The Window
9. Seneca
10. Stay with Me
11. Wake Up

Heretic · « **Reply #1229 on:** May 31, 2016, 01:04:08 PM »

Top Ten Thrice? Umm...

Words in the Water
Beggars
Of Dust and Nations
The Whaler
The Flame Deluge
The Earth Will Shake
Daedalus
Stare at the Sun
Deadbolt
Salt and Shadow

And in terms of ranking the new album:

Salt and Shadow
Death From Above
Stay With Me
Hurricane
Black Honey
Whistleblower
The Long Defeat
The Window
Blood on the Sand
Wake Up
Seneca (awesome instrumental, just not enough to qualify for beating any of the substantial songs)

icarus4321 · « **Reply #1230 on:** May 31, 2016, 01:18:04 PM »

My top ten would look something like this (in chronological order):

Kill Me Quickly
Deadbolt
To Awake and Avenge the Dead
Cold Cash and Colder Hearts
Silhouette
The Earth Will Shake
Firebreather
Daedalus
Words in the Water
Death From Above

I'm not going to do a Top 10 list, but one song that would definitely be on mine and is conspicuously absent from all lists so far is Red Sky. Seriuosly, that's like the definition of epic.

Heretic · « **Reply #1233 on:** June 01, 2016, 05:51:10 AM »

Yeah, Red Sky and For Miles would be 11 and 12 for me, respectively. Just so many good Thrice songs.

Zantera · « **Reply #1234 on:** June 01, 2016, 05:56:24 AM »

Seneca would be in my upper half of the new album. I know it's only a transitional track, but I love it. Wish it was longer.

Scorpion · « **Reply #1235 on:** June 01, 2016, 05:58:46 AM »

Heavily binging Thrice at the moment. The new album isn't quite as good as Vheissu or The Alchemy Index, but it's still superb, and I really like it.

EDIT: Having said that, Salt and Shadows is quickly rising to the very top of my favourite Thrice songs. Stunning, stunning song.

Zantera · « **Reply #1236 on:** June 01, 2016, 08:28:49 AM »

I don't think it's as good as Vheissu or The Alchemy Index either, but that's a tough act to follow and the band is now 8 (or 9 depending on how you count) albums into their career. This could very well be their third best, which is still amazing. I'd put Vheissu at 1 and TAI at 2 myself, then maybe this followed by Beggars. Their debut album is really the only one I don't care that much for. I'd put The Illusion of Safety quite high on my list, over albums like Major/Minor and The Artist in the Ambulance.

fadetoblackdude7 · « **Reply #1237 on:** June 01, 2016, 09:47:15 AM »

lordxizor · « **Reply #1243 on:** June 02, 2016, 05:42:54 AM »

I'm definitely liking the new album more with each listen. I haven't had a chance to sit an listen to it undistracted yet, so I'm sure I'll pick up more greatness with a more dedicated listen. So far I wouldn't put it up with their classics, but it's at least a little better than Major/Minor.

Scorpion · « **Reply #1244 on:** June 02, 2016, 07:37:02 AM »

1. The Alchemy Index

Funny you have this ranked like this. My friend and I saw them twice a few years ago and refer to it as "back to back" because that's how they played it at both shows and it was amazing both times.

Phoenix87x · « **Reply #1247 on:** June 04, 2016, 05:30:42 PM »

1. Artist in the ambulance tied with Illusion of safety
2. Alchemy index Air
3. Vheissu
4. Alchemy index water tied with earth

5. Beggars
6. Alchemy index fire

7. Major minor
8. Identity crisis
9. To be everywhere is to be nowhere

My Favorite Thrice song is Paper Tigers. Mother of god

fadetoblackdude7 · « **Reply #1248 on:** June 25, 2016, 12:22:30 PM »

Saw them in Chicago the other night for the 4th time.....easily one of the best shows I've seen in a long time (My voice is blown out and all my muscles are sore!)

Band was on top of everything, they sounded so thick and heavy, yet crystal clear. One of the top live bands out there for sure. Cheers!

Scorpion · « **Reply #1249 on:** June 25, 2016, 02:04:02 PM »

After having spun the new album for a couple of times, I can safely say that Hurricane, Black Honey and Salt and Shadow are definitely a cut above the other songs on the album. While the album is nowhere close to TAI, Beggars or Vheissu in quality for me, those three songs are easily among the best songs that the band has done.

Crow · « **Reply #1250 on:** July 28, 2016, 10:03:07 PM »

okay, i just can't take it. in this disaster of a year the absolute last thing i want to hear is a disgustingly preachy politically-charged album that doesn't even say anything new. seriously, blood on the sand and death from above especially can piss off, unlistenable songs just because of their lyrics tbh. there's some decent songs here (mostly the ones that aren't overtly political; hurricane, the window, and salt and shadow mostly) but i really am having trouble stomaching this tbh. i know thrice have gotten a little political before but there was an art to it on stuff like circles and beggars, here it's just so in-your-face and blunt that it's a huge turnoff.

i'm not sure why i bought this album tbh. mostly out of obligation. i wish they'd stayed on hiatus tbh.

Big Hath · « **Reply #1251 on:** July 28, 2016, 10:42:43 PM »

so you're saying you are sick of it, so sick of it and you've had enough?

Zantera · « **Reply #1252 on:** July 29, 2016, 04:23:35 AM »

Considering the new album is better than both Major/Minor and Beggars, I'm happy they came out of retirement. Also, lol @ getting upset over lyrics.

Crow · « **Reply #1253 on:** July 29, 2016, 08:44:58 AM »

beggars is one of the best albums i've ever heard, but sure

and i'm usually not bothered by lyrics unless they're impossible to ignore

ariich · « **Reply #1254 on:** July 29, 2016, 08:56:02 AM »

Definitely a shame that the lyrics have jarred with you on this one. They're no more preachy or particularly different in tone or subject to their previous output. Beggars is still my favourite, but I really do love the new album, right up there among their best IMO.

fadetoblackdude7 · « **Reply #1255 on:** July 29, 2016, 12:21:07 PM »

I honestly don't care what they write about, as long as they stand behind it and they have passion with it. This album is one of their absolute best IMO.

lordxizor · « **Reply #1256 on:** September 25, 2016, 09:02:16 AM »

Finally saw these guys live on Friday night after several years of them being one of my favorite bands. Wow... just wow. So powerful. One of the best shows I've ever seen.

One of the many reasons they're in my top 10 favorite bands.

Ever since TBEITBN dropped in May, I've been listening to Thrice non stop. I think I might have spun it more than The Astonishing.

Big Hath · « **Reply #1258 on:** October 03, 2016, 08:50:16 AM »

Thrice concert was nuts last night! Great show!

I thought the new songs came across really well live.

fadetoblackdude7 · « **Reply #1259 on:** June 05, 2018, 05:34:57 PM »

New song premiered today, titled The Grey! I think it's pretty good....no clue when the new album is out yet or what it's called. NA tour dates are up as well, with The Bronx and Teenage Wrist supporting.
