6. For Miles
I love the guitar in this song. It's not that fast, it's not that technical, but it just sounds really cool. This song is also pretty unique in that it constantly evolves - at first it's just the piano, then the vocals come in, then the drums, followed by the guitar finally entering in the chorus. After that there's the epic verse 2 which is lot a heavier than anything before it in the song, then the 2nd chorus which is much "louder" than the first. The only point where it dies down is the bridge following, but that makes the outro come in even heavier. The drums in this song are also really cool IMO. It's just a really well written song with some of my favorite guitar work from Thrice.
5. Child of Dust
Ah yes, the super-minimalistic song. This song is all about the atmosphere, and it all works so perfectly. The vocal performance is absolutely STUNNING, the lyrics are beautiful... never before has a 2 minute song left such an impact like this one does. There's just nothing I can say to describe how amazing this song is.
BONUS!!!!!
21. The Earth Will Shake
This song just BARELY didn't make the list. It's still a great song, what with the acoustic intro exploding into a riff that sounds heavier than it really is... how did they do that? Kensrue's growls in the chorus and outro are some of the best growls I've ever heard, and Thrice isn't normally a growling band even! The chant section is pretty cool and it builds up really well into the heavy chorus. Oh yeah and did I mention how epic the outro is? Because it is. Still just barely missed the list though.
