Free Music Notes for Beggars (Dig)
Free Music Review: "My heart is filled with songs of forever."
Hit: 5 Stars
If there's one thing that can be said about Thrice, it is that they never make the same album twice. Following up the moderate success of 2003's The Artist in the Ambulance, the band produced their most expansive and experimental album to date in 2005's Vheissu. While it was an unfortunate commercial failure, it succeeded as a re-birth for the band that helped them find their true, signature sound. Perhaps to top such a feat, the band released the quadruple album, Alchemy Index, Vols. I-IV, over the course of 2007 and 2008 -- split amongst four EP's -- which saw the band break down and stretch out their style in ways we had never heard before. For their sixth studio effort, the band hunkered down at guitarist/producer Teppei Taranishi's home studio and produced "Beggars" all by themselves. Another in a long line of stunning albums from the California quartet, it's an album that will simultaneously challenge and sound like home to the band's well-established fanbase.
Like those before it, "Beggars" is an album that has Thrice sounding like themselves and yet, doesn't sound a thing like anything they've played before. It's both energetic and organic, sounding like music made by four very passionate and talented musicians, and less by some studio-tinkering. However, that's not to say that it pales in comparison to the production values of its predecessors, in fact, "Beggars" goes so far as to not only prove the band can create an enormous sound all on its own, but that they have the song-writing chops to back it up. Ten songs make up the album that range from brooding and mournful to spicy and up-beat. I could sit here and describe each song to you but would not be doing them any justice, except to say that the album is almost air-tight, as there isn't a single song that drags it down or makes it a chore to listen to. To be honest, there's so much going on with this album that you could listen to it on repeat for an entire day (try it!) and never tire of it.
All the elements of Thrice you've come to love still remain intact, albeit, in a much different and very interesting way. With song-writing as strong as the musicianship behind it -- something the band never failed at -- Thrice prove they are worth their weight and that, at 11 years strong as a band, can still evolve and retain an identity. There are few bands out there that take their craft as seriously as Thrice and who remain this consistent. It's a shame the mainstream has yet to catch on to these brilliant musicians, but those who know what they are capable of know what to expect with "Beggars," which is that it is everything I have described and so much more.
Beggars (Dig) Poster
2009 album from the California Alt-Rock quartet. To take stock of Thrice's discography is to witness the dramatic evolution of a band perpetually committed to pushing their own creative boundaries, taking their music to new and breathtaking heights of expression and challenging fans to explore each startling soundscape the group conjures, while simultaneously promoting social awareness and change. From the raw power and technical onslaught of early records Identity Crisis and The Illusion of Safety, to the perfect marriage of fury and melody on The Artist In The Ambulance, to the bold, mesmerizing experimentation of Vheissu, Thrice has always been a band on the cutting edge, running well ahead of their peers. That divide is about to widen still further.Alternative Rock Music CDs
