THRICE ARE MAJOR, THRICE ARE MINOR
Thrice aren’t metal or really even close anymore, yadda yadda, we’ve already been down that road. Last time I posted about Thrice a number of you commented that you were fans, and a few even mentioned discovering the band when we extensively covered their Alchemy Index album suite back in 2007/2008. And so:
Thrice’s new album Major/Minor is streaming in full at AOL Music (still a thing). It continues along the same fork in the road Thrice suddenly swerved onto starting with 2005’s Vheissu, which is to say it’s more like edgy / heavy indie rock than it is the post-punk / screamo the band built their foundation on. This is certainly nota bad thing; I’ve enjoyed some modern-day Thrice even though Artist in the Ambulance is still “it” for me. And I’m enjoying Major/Minor. Some of these songs are super-catchy; I’m on my second full listen and I’m already humming along with the melodies.
Major/Minor comes out today and is available for purchase on CD, Vinyl and Mp3 at Amazon. Thrice will kick off a headlining tour with Moving Mountains and others on September 30th. Dates follow:
