is really good. Fire is kinda patchy but Water, Air and Earth are incredibly good. no other band i've heard can write such great, catchy songs in as many different styles as they cover on the album.

I remember several months ago, I had that idea, and I thought it was great, and the next day, I found out about these. :[

Haven't heard anything from the band, though. What to expect?

The Artist in the Ambulance and earlier is pop-punk/metalcore stuff. then on Vheissu they started a bunch of artsy Radiohead and Isis influenced stuff. then on The Alchemy Index they went all out with those. Fire is the aggressive disc and has screaming and stuff for lots of it. Air/Water remind me a lot of a catchier version of Radiohead. Earth is acoustic folk/country type music.

I like all the discs, but earth is absolutely amazing. For the earth disc they mic'd the entire room they were playing in, instead of just micing the instruments. You can hear the creaking of chairs in between songs and other ambient noises.

As always with stuff I like, expect a review. I think Fire is a bit underrated, mind, as I do have a soft spot for all that anthemic shouty post-hardcore bollocks.

I like Thrice... I like the early stuff which wasn't as mundane as most people say it is and I sure love their evolution! Good band!

arguing with angels is basically love though so the songs lyrics are flawed. good song

"Open Water" is total Radiohead tribute

this album has too much good stuff. OH GOD WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO ME, YOU TOOK THE ONLY THING THAT MEANT ANYTHING TO ME, I WILL NEVER FLY AGAIN I WILL HANG UP MY WINGS

edit: live videos of a bunch of songs
