Mine hadn’t even shipped yet. Normally it’s been shipped and/or delivered by now. Wasn’t sure if they just hadn’t come in or not yet.

And there wasn't a card. So don't know if the regular copies come with a download which is kind of lame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone on chorus.fm reached out to Wax Mage on FB and they responded saying they still did them. So no reason to freak out i emailed them asking why it changed from wax mage to clear and if I would still be getting the wax mage bundle they replied with “Hello, It appears that the clear is the final design for the bundle.

mmhmm Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 The cries of 100 Thrice fans will be great. Like no other cry that came before it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

li0nel Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 (edited) Am I the only one being a little disappointed with the artwork? All recent Thrice's vinyl releases have been more carefully designed, this is just a simple sleeve with an inner printed one... ok I guess this is cheaper to produce, but a nice booklet of some would have been very cool, as basically, the artwork is cool, just a bit limited IMHO.

Derek™ Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 On first listen and the chorus of Hold Up a Light just hit. Yikes. I feel like I’m about 1 tank-top and 3 Monster energy drinks unprepared for this banger. batman and mrewest 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek™ Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 They need to call Emma back for additional collaborations, because Just Breathe seems like the album’s highlight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Ives Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 This album is great. I think I must have a totally different perception of what constitutes 'Dad rock' to other people. famousdrumer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamdbz Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Album grew on me hard. Though I can't believe Hold Up A Light made it onto this.. oof. Blood on Blood is one of their best songs to date imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I do miss a great deal about “classic” Thrice is Dustin’s lyrics. They’re so blunt and boring with this current state of the band. Compare the themes of Image of the Invisible to the literal “fight the system, don’t be silent!” lyrics on these past 2 albums.

mrewest Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 First pass through & I think this is infinitely more interesting than the last album’s snooze fest. Undecided if that’s translating to a good album though. That butt-rock song is pretty jarring lol. No joke though My Soul might be my early fav. It would be A Branch in the River if it wasn’t ruined by that chorus. But those first 3 songs actually work real well in succession & to start the album. The Dark ends far too abruptly imo though. That choir shoulda went on for a few more bars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xfactor675 Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Just breath, a branch in the river, beyond the pines are good, but nothing spectacular especially thrice standards. Hold up a light and blood on blood on the other hand are crime against humanity. Also only us, grey and hold up a light are definition of awful radio rock.

Saxonjulin Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 I actually loved TBEITBN. It was my favorite album in 2016. This album after one listen wsas very forgettable. Super bummed. I order the waxmage bundle too. Hoping after a few more listens my opinion will change. Either way this has to be their weakest release. Nothing on this record that blew me away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmhmm Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Finally listening to this and it's super interesting/good. I'm surprised people are bored by this. Put on a good pair of headphones and hear how good this sounds...also, that bass tone is everything on this record.
