The band Thrice has dominated the music world for the past six years. Their early releases set the benchmark for punk and emo alike while staying pressed deep within the boundaries of metal and hard rock. With their last release, The Artist in the Ambulance, they exploded into main stream media, drawing a fan base outside of the minorities of your typical punk kids and music junkies. All of this contributed into making Vheissu one of the most anticipated releases of the year.
From the moment you hit play, you are in for the ride of your life. The first track, Image of the Invisible, is pure enticement, making you believe that you won’t want to hit pause for any reason. The next song is a slower, softer edge of Thrice, Between the End and Where We Lie, which continues to lead into the ballad-like power of The Earth Will Shake. I cannot even begin to describe how moving this song is. I spent most of a day listening solely to this song “dreaming of open gates and no alarms.” Atlantic, the next song, drives acoustic and meaningful into new dimensions. The slow moving pieces continue with For Miles, a song dominated by its piano opening and pure lyrical genius. By now a listener is in a chill, relaxed mood, which is shattered by the torrent of raw emotion and energy in Hold Fast Hope.
Now halfway through Vheissu, take a break. I recommend it, because the next half will send your mind to a whole new level of experience. Music Box starts and ends beautifully, giving reference to its name, and holds you enthralled by its hauntingly hopeful quality. Like Moths to Flame is a deluge of driving guitar and march-like drums, sending the listener into an awe-like state, driving its gospel-like message close to home. “It will all be undone, and nothing built under the sun will ever stand before the endless march of sand.” This idea dominates Of Dust and Nations, the next track, pleading the listener to put more weight on character and virtue, because only those will last forever. Stand and Feel Your Worth is one of the few songs ever that should unite the world based on lyrics alone. Climaxing the entire album, the last vestige of this roller coaster ride of moving lyrics and powerfully crafted musicality, is Red Sky. This song is mellow, heartfelt, and highly symbolic of picking up the pieces of your life, even after the worst has happened.
I highly recommend this album for anyone and everyone. It has a heavy edge to it, and some songs will turn off your average country and rap fan, but anybody who is into music that can make a day brighter or a room warmer just by chord structure alone will be impressed by this album. The only words I found online that truly described this album were “It is perfect.” End sentence, end statement that is all you need to know
