As had previously been rumoured, the title of the upcoming Thrice album has been confirmed as Beggars. http://twitter.com/OfficialThrice/status/2182110943
Glad to hear it. I'm just glad the Alchemy Series is done, it was good but I liked their non-sequential albums better.
swell. beggars doesn't sound that great though. but, if it goes with some cool album artwork i'm sure it'll be fine.
thrice is my favourite band. i cannot describe the way plenty of their songs make me feel. the emotion behind the lyrics and most important their deliverance in a musical form is outstanding. watching the live dvd gives me almost constant shivers. to my mind dustin kensrue is a lyrical genius and an amazing singer. really looking forward to "beggars". "all the world is mad" and "weight" seem to be great songs.
I don't really agree with the alchemy index statement, as i very much enjoyed all of those eps. But yeah, the album is pretty amazing.
I didn't think that as a whole it was very impressive. There were some very good songs but I prefer more of a cohesiveness to my albums. I know they were trying to create a divide with each EP but I guess it was just too segmented for my liking.
I really am forcing myself to wait for the offical release. Is it as epic as Vhiessu? And I'm glad they've finished with the alchemy index though, I didn't rate that at all.
In my opinion it is not as epic as Vhiessu, but in a way it's more listenable. I don't want to be pounded over the head by Vhiessu all of the time. It would be like, and this is a very loose comparison, Vhiessu is Meteora compared to Beggars being a couple notches above the QWERTY Studio Version in terms of production. It has a very 'in the room' feel throughout most of the record. Somewhere between Earth and Fire off the Alchemy Index without the constant bludgeoning of a concept album. It's not a classic epic record, not full of crazy layered tracks, not a lot of studio trickery, no super crazy breakdowns. It's just good, solid songs through and through with the band playing their respective instruments and being damn good at it. I love Vhiessu but this album has more soulful, straight forward songs. Five hard-leaning songs, four soft leaning songs, and the last song is kind of half and half to me. Pretty balanced. That's my long-winded take!!
I agree. I'd say more one hard leaning song (Talking Through Glass); two soft songs (Circles, Wood & Wire) and eight normal songs. -- To me it sounds like the Wind record turned into a full album. Not too say that its bad; at all. Its really good. Just not up to the lofty standard of Vhiessu or even alchemy index.
