I know you’re just taking the piss but I think I read that he had a pretty big falling-out with his church, unless I’m mistaken.  Quite a while back, I thought.

Indeed. But it sounds like he's still religious personally, at least.

i think he's pretty far from being religious now, if you google 'dustin kensrue christianity' there some interesting stuff out there

one thing i noticed on that new revisited album, on Stare at the Sun, the lyric used to be:

"I tear into the HISTORY, show me what it means to me in this world"
now it's...
"I tear into the MYSTERY, show me what it means to me in this world"

which to me says he was originally singing about possibly christianity or the bible, he now doesn't see it as historical...

I’ve always found it funny that people will say they can show you proof in the form “documented historical accounts” of Jesus, and then they say, “In the Bible…” 😑

 

Anyway, that is interesting. I wonder if he’s a bit more skeptical now. I don’t follow anything about the members and their personal lives, but I was always aware of him being a religious man. Has that changed?

Another interesting tidbit is that Mars Hill church fell apart admist a huge scandal. On Thrice's comeback album there is a song called Whistleblower which seems to indicate it was Dustin who did the uhhh...the whilstleblowing. 

I'm pretty sure Whistleblower is actually about Edward Snowden.

Fair enough.

I know that there is some Genius annotation or something that says the song is about Snowden, but its a misinterpretation of a reply to a tweet. Someone tagged Snowden in a tweet and said "this song is about you" and Thrice replied "not about. definitely not unconnected though" as in Snowden is A whistleblower however not THE whistleblower the song is about. 

So the song is clearly much more inspired by what went on at Mars Hill.

Heads up to anyone who ordered from deep discount, I just got a cancelation/refund. They might of oversold a bit.

 

Managed to preorder on Amazon for three dollars cheaper though 🤷🏻

Yeah mine got cancelled too. Also don't think that amazon will go through as this is also out at indies, so don't get your hopes too high.

Eh I went with 1234go instead. It shipped a few hours ago. Half expecting to open it and be the black variant but whatever it'll sound the same. 

It won't be black, it was the member club exclusive of whatever thrice fanclub is there, so you are "safe"
