Wait for something like this:

http://www.last.fm/music/Thrice/_/Doublespeak

To spike. That's when it leaked to mass consumption.

This album begs to be listened to multiple times. This isn't a pop album by any means.. it's somewhat dense, and it lacks the killer dynamic that Thrice is best at (unfortunately). As much as I'm going to listen to this until retail, I really don't think I can fairly assess it without the lyrics.

Interesting you pick "Doublespeak".. you're probably right, though, that is the probably the most accessible.. if not "The Weight", which interestingly has a lot going on you need a few listens to get, too.

The album's standout tracks:

"At the Last"
"Beggars"
"The Weight"
"The Great Exchange"
"Talking Through Glass"

Eh, I get it. It's more of a straight up rock song than anything else on Vheissu. Not really indicative of the rest of the tracks...even the heavy tracks like Hold Fast Hope take on a distinctly different tone than Image. So I understand, I just disagree haha

...of this pretty much. Its not that an opener has to tell me what is coming but I just find it quite boring compared to the rest of the album. It really doesn't show any sort of shift from stuff on Artist like 'All That's Left' and 'Stare at the Sun' which I find to be the weaker stuff on that album (always preferred the acoustic of 'Stare at the Sun').

Would still shout along live.

I love Dustin's voice during the whole song but mainly at the chorus and the ending is really powerful so I would disagree.

Why would the words "pop album" ever enter into anyone's vocabulary when discussing Thrice? Or would you say it's dense and then say it lacks a killer dynamic? It being dense and thick is the killer dynamic Thrice is best at.

And what are you talking about? I just grabbed a new song on last.fm -- no rhyme or reason.

That's why I liked it as an opener, and it never really bothered me that it had a different feel from the rest of the tracks. For me, that made the album even better.

Thrice has some really poppy tunes (relatively speaking).. fast with big hooks. This album really doesn't have that.

Thrice is best at the loud to soft dynamic.. they are definitely good when they're dense, too, though. So far (like I said, I really want to sit with the lyrics) it's better than Fire and Water; blows Air out of the .. sky. Not as good as Earth though. But that's just real preliminary, I take Thrice seriously, I'm sure I'll solidify my ranking sometime in early 2010 after I give it time to sit in and digest.

TAITA > Vheisu > Earth > TIOS > Fire > Water > IC > Air

I think. For the record.

This would normally have disappointment me (not that I expected any different) but I've come to peace with what direction Thrice were taking. It's easy to wish they would continue writing albums like Illusion and Artist, but those albums are as great now as they were when I first heard them. They're still more than satisfying in their own right and they simply don't need to be continued. Kind of like Bioshock.

A band records an album themselves, DIY, and are easily the most humble and down to earth guys on the planet. No egos, just talent. And their label's website without proper protection is what causes the leak? 3 months early. This may very well be the biggest disaster I've seen in years. How do you let that happen? How do you recover from that!?

Devastating.
