about time. I know I vouched for the live show hard in here and some people were disappointed when they went but I still stand by it as one of the best live experiences I've had. part oddball performance art and part hardcore show.

thrice album is their best in a very long while, splits the difference between their exploratory radioheadish side and what i'm gonna characterize as their house style of "sludge emo" without spilling over into butt rock (both of the albums before this are guilty)

No talk/love for the new TWIABP record, Illusory Walls, released yesterday? Figured it was perfect for this thread.
I am really enjoying its ambition, scope and almost, at times, progressive metal edge, but I can see it alienating their more traditional or emo-revival fans. Also not sure if those aforementioned qualities will hold up well upon repeated listens, but for now it is probably my fave AOTY.
