Just started getting into them recently. I only have the two Alchemy Index albums. I really like Vols. III & IV right now.

WHERE HAVE THIS BAND BEEN ALL MY LIFE.

So I listened to Beggars while on holiday, in the right mood I really liked it but at others I thought eh.

Heard some Vheissu, pretty much the same.

Put on The Alchemy Index today. Fire was pretty :metal but then Water came on. :omg: I'm completely floored. Amazing. I can't wait to get to know these guy's material fully.

I just can't understand why I havent heard about them sooner.

All of their stuff is fantastic. They get better with every listen, and you can't get bored of them.

I have no ideas which EP is my favourite, they are all so awesome, and when i'm in a particular mood I just put on the relevant EP!

I can't get enough of The Alchemy Index. Digital Sea's chorus is one of the best things I've ever heard.

I laughed at that and then immediately scolded myself.  :lol

This will probably be what I do with it too, it's so addictive. Lots of short songs can be a nice break.

Thrice is great, though im only familiar with Beggars, The Alchemy Index Volume I & II, Vheissu and a couple other songs, found on the live-album.
One thing i like is that at first, some of their songs sound slightly same-ish (but dont flame me yet!), because i really like how after a few listens, every song grows into different directions.
It's really fascinating discovering. :)

Definitely. I listen to Beggars, liking 5 songs loads now, it started with just the first song, then the title track, and more and more as I realised it wasn't samey at all :) It just takes so long to digest, plus I have too many albums of their now so it's a bit overbearing.

I suggest you to get the rest of The Alchemy Index! It's really good and different from the Vol I and II. Plus you get Daedalus! ;)

Yeah, i just listened to Volume III & IV, great stuff.
I think i prefer Earth slightly, but i've only heard it 1 time so.
I hear a lot of praise for Daedalus, but the 3-4 times i've heard it, it hasn't really made a huge impact.
Sure it's good, but maybe it will grow with time.  ;)

They do seem like a grower band, but, bizarrely, I love them immediately at the minute, moreso than I have my other favourite 'grower' bands.

This thread feels so weird now...
I remember when there were like 5 Thrice fans here. Now we have, like, 8 Thrice fans. O_o Its weird.
Welcome, though.

Watched House of Blues today. What a great DVD.

Really enjoying all the Thrice love in this thread  :).

Great music, great songwriting, brilliant lyrics!

Also, Vheissu is the best them!
"Once he had forests and mountains that were only his - listening to him. Once he would run through the summer days catching memories for ages to come. Now he is dressing this naked floor with his flesh and blood, and time passes by. His trade of pain might just have lead him to deal with consequence for some change as time passes by"

Thrice  :heart
The Alchemy Index  :heart

Earth is probably my favorite, but it's all so damn good!
You understand how much variety the band has when you compare songs like Firebreather and Digging My Own Grave.
A question though, might sound like a newbie question, but i'll ask it anyway.
The themes on each of the EP's are quite clear, but i haven't quite grabbed Air yet.
Fire has that heavier-sound, Water has that oceanic-sound and Earth has that more ballady-sound, anyone that could enlighten me what Air has? :P
To me it doesn't sound AS typical as the other elements and the EP's, but don't get me wrong.. i love Air, and i love the lyrics it has.

Yeah, I had the same impression. I think the songs in Air have this eerie feeling, an almost ethereal vibe in some songs. It's more like a Wind element I believe. I wouldn't say that Earth have some "ballady-song" though, to me it's more like folk-rock, acoustic driven. But yeah, I definitely get what you're saying.

Also: Thrice and Ulver are really becoming Top 5 bands for me. It's almost overwhelming to have discover both at the same time! :P

It sounds quite reverby and spacey to me, but in a different way to the water EP.

Folk-rock/acoustic sounds better, probably my favorite EP from The Alchemy Index. :)
Ulver is another fantastic band, both these bands are in my top10 bands/artists for sure.

Yes it was, but The Earth Will Shake trumps all.

It's amazing how awesome every Thrice concert is. Nearly everyone of their songs is amazing, so there are no bad setlists.

Okey, any love here for 'Digging My Own Grave'?
It's such a beautiful tune, and so different. (even though we all know Thrice = diverse)
The Alchemy Index is just awesome.

Favorite-songs from each EP:

Fire - Firebreather
Water - Night Diving
Air - Daedalus and A Song For Milly Michaelson
Earth - Moving Mountains and Digging My Own Grave
