  1. I’m still holding out hope…unfortunately, this is still not doing it for me.  Post hiatus Thrice has been a big challenge for me.  Lol.  I’m still here, but I’m barely hanging on.  Hoping album has more energy than the last two do as a whole and Dustin specifically ups the vocal range he keeps singing in.  The low crooning vocals don’t do it for me. He sounds like a tired old man with aching bones every time he moves to me.  This song is better than the first one…fingers crossed…been here since Artist…

    Was unfortunately pretty disappointed in Neon, so I'm very cautious about this, but the new song is decent and I like aspects of the other two they've released.

    I was too for awhile.  It grew on me though after awhile and now I think there are some top tier Erra songs on there.

    It's really too bad that they didn't just do the newly released Deluxe Edition taken directly from the film and approved by John Powell.  If you haven't heard it yet, it's basically complete and is remixed and sounds much better and includes a lot stuff missing on the original like the end credits...oh well, missed opportunity though

  4. I think the more interesting subject to discuss is more about what is the subjective line where you agree/disagree with a band member of a band that you listen to?  For example, I'm too old now to believe that every band I like has great human beings in them, and I'm sure a portion of the bands we like have members that we probably wouldn't like if we actually got to know them, or at the very least we might say they're "good dudes" but we wouldn't want to hang out with them.  The line between liking the art and liking the person or persons making the art is really the interesting thing here to me.  Can I watch a Tom Cruise movie and enjoy it without indirectly saying that I support all of his ridiclous baloney with Scientology that does real damage to people's lives?  I know some of you are like "screw the guy, he's a bad person", but it really begs the question:  does the art transcend the ridiculous views of one of it's creators?  Or if he donates a bunch of money to a charity you support, will you then forgive said person?  Does it change the art of the music or painting or whatever?  I always think about the other band members in these situations who didn't say something stupid or ignorant and are like "man, you're killing us!"...

     

    I'm still wrestling with this, not just in this situation, but just in life in general...I'm afraid that if I extend the thinking out to it's logical conclusion that if I only consume material done by what I consider to be people I can find no faults in, I won't really have much to consume...on the other hand, there is so much to consume I don't need to consume certain material.  Finding this line, for me is the challenge now...
