PO: Thrice - The Artist in the Ambulance (Revisited)

I'll definitely pick this up as I love Thrice and the price point seems good for 2023. However, I just did a full listen and I was underwhelmed. Pretty much sounds like a really good live album. Drums and bass sound great, but then just simply combined with two guitar parts. The only overdubs I noticed were vocals.

The guest vocalists are kinda pointless, as they are never featured, they are just bgvs. I was especially hoping for more from Andy Hull. Also, the loss of strings is significant--"The Melting Point of Wax" is really subpar without them. Thrice has always been super creative and used interesting recording and production techniques, but not here. Maybe that's the point.

you get a 20-year old album rerecorded. What newfound creativity do you expect from these known songs? I mean they wrote these songs a long time ago, more than likely they actually hate playing most of them, and yet they'd still give a new fresh skin to it. It's raw, sounding better than the og one, and Dustin suprisingly could still scream some parts. If they could pull this off half this good live, it will be awesome.  I agree on the features though, I can't even hear basically, is that Chuck on blood clots?

also I'd coose this over the typical acoustic/demo/ anniversary deluxe editions 100 out of 100 times.

Was there any announcement anywhere to sign up for the email list? Almost positive I was on their email list, so unless they switched mailing lists, confused why I got nothing.

Same.  They can send me links to their leftover tour merch sales, but not this?!  BAAHHHH
