I'd say Thrice "hit it big" enough and has received all the recognition they need. They're an internationally touring act that has released multiple albums on well-known labels, they're awesome live and in the studio, they have a large, loyal fanbase, and they continue to teach good principles through their music. What defines success as a rock band if this does not?
@thisiswilson2 True - I guess they'll never make a movie called "Dustin" unless he's continually haunted by the death of a younger sibling, leaves his wife and family, constantly does drugs, and continually pursues some relationship in which he never should have had interest but does and everyone is ok with it despite previously mentioned family abandonment. It'll be called "Dustin" or "Whale the Line" or something like that.
@KyleAnstey it's b/c they are a GOOD, POSITIVE band. they never get anywhere. the music industry is fucked . . they would be corrupted before they ever hit it big. that's also why they won't. :/
@GordonDyer i think what hes trying to say is that most people dont appreciate spectacular music like this anymore so a grammy for thrice is out of the question
@GodsWildfire cause lmfao and that kind of shit exists, which is apparently "good" music in the majorities eyes. not really all about talent anymore it seems, T-Pain makes much more money prolly just cause he recorded himself with a fucking autotune. i dunno what else to say, the biz sucks. and will most likely get worse, imo.
@GodsWildfire Because people don't listen to good music anymore. They listen to things like Lady GaGa, and LMFAO. The music industry has fallen to crap, basically.
This song is ridiculous, nothing in all their albums compares, thrice go back to doing experimental stuff, it was truly your calling. The texture is so beautiful.
@7d7e7f7 Thrice quotes the crap out f the bible so it's really tough not to, it's like not mentioning sex when listening to disco stick by lady gaga. I don't even know if they are christian but they are well studied. anyway my point was (and you'll have no idea how this was the point i was making) I think religious comments are fine if they are not invasive to anyone. but if someone does make a christian comment bash them, and when they retort call them a hypocrit :D
this song made me tear up. it reminded me of the days my dad would have to leave to go overseas... he had to leave is anchors (family) ashore because the sea (marine corps) was calling him.
Father, where do you go? it's father than i can see.... when are you coming home to me?
I love how this whole song is in comparison to his life. He sings about the storms (tour) taking him away as his daughter cries and his wife begs him to stay, the boat and the blade (guitar and mic) are all that he knows. His anchor is ashore (his heart?) Gahh its all so good
@railpressureflip That's how I felt with, Lost Continent today. Always skipped that song but today it kinda hit me. Yeah Thrice you know, they are seriously incredible.
I LISTEN TO THIS SONG EVERY TIME I GO TO THE BEACH. I'VE NEVER HEARD A SONG THAT LITERALLY CAPTURES THE ESSENCE AND BEAUTY OF THE OCEAN AS THIS SONG DOES ITS SO SOOTHING, YOU FEEL AS IF YOUR ACTUALLY IN THE OCEAN BEING GENTLY ROCKED BY THE WAVES... ITS MORE THAN A SONG ITS A FEELING... AN EMOTIONAL EXPERIANCE...
This song gives me such good imagery in my head. I love the sad, melancholy feel of the music, it fits perfectly with the lyrics. I picture like a guy way back in like Moby Dick days being drawn to his job but being torn between that and his family. I picture him waking early in the morning to leave, dark and foggy outside, his ship and crew waiting at the port in the distance. I picture the whaler standing in his doorway, contemplating what to do.
yo, this song just liek, ... im litdennign to it, then its over and im all liek WHATTT , you knwo its so soothign it just goes by to fast :) great song !
everytime i process this song good enough, im totally gone in this music, i am easily amazed at how talented each and every one of them are, but dustins voice is to die over. : )
but why has all of this happened before? why must we all go through this?....again. and... why is all that we know to be real.... nonexistant?.. come back... please.
I dont know why you people speak such blasphemy. Are you really so angry at God? Why would you not believe in him and/or speak against him? I dont know what brought up these arguments, but please dont speak ill of God, Jesus Christ, Christians (whom, need I remind everyone, don't claim to be sinless), or Jews. Please, just enjoy Thrices amazing music.
I'd agree with every thing said and it all is positive feedback only because you've let your heart take over your mind and it's evry SoulJahs' purpose and calling to do jus that. We are Soul and spirit and this higher elevation of music is here for all that want real Truth and peace in thier lives...wether you want to believe in God or not Thrice will make sure you are aware of the influence that brings albums and songs like these to a hunger we share for that Truth and Peace, Much Love family
You talk a lot of nonsense. I like the song because it sounds nice, so shut your god-hole for four minutes eleven seconds and let me enjoy my god damn music.
if you were real about what you said you wouldn't be paying attention to comments instead of tryin to sound hard over the computer...it's okay you can come out of the closet with your fag nonsense and give it to Christ....otherwise you shut your slander hole you fuckin emo fag...believin in God dosn't mean I cant hit back ...Your obvious fake comment has nothin to do with the song otherwise like i said you would be listening to it instead of makin a punk, literally, comment if you knowwhtapunkis
Boo hoo, cry more, and believing in god SHOULD make you unable to hit back, because wrath is a sin, don't forget.
I don't listen to music so i can think about what they're saying, I listen to music so I don't have to think about anything, but I can still read while listening to music. You're the equivalent of someone talking during a movie. Talking about god, nonetheless, a topic which pisses me off more than anything.
read Don't laugh at this!

Water is my favorite Thrice album ever. It's so... straight. It's obvious that they've taken a step away from their thrashy, hardcore roots and started creating music they love. It's apparent even here, in "The Whaler". I fall asleep to the album every night. Like everyone else, the whole album brings tears to my eyes.
Very well said. My fav. has to be the Air Disc. But I do love this album so much. Very well composed! Great to sleep to. This is honestly one of my fav albums ever to get high to. Thrice is diffenetly one of the best bands. A band that truely can't be slapped with a label, like most people try hard to do with ever band. The best summary I think to describe Thrice is this: They write exactly what I feel and what I want to hear.
WELL Said. I wish more bands were like that in which they can write what they care despite what some of their "fans" might think. Like when I first heard this album I was thinking that Thrice will never top The Artist In The Ambulance, but they obviously have with this album.
I agree with you too... Their hardcore stuff was great.. but this is even greater... not many bands can do what they did, the whole transition thing..
God, even to just look at the lyrics you'd think your reading a timeless poem or novel. That's true for pretty much all their songs. Whoever writes their lyrics is the best lyricist ever. Give that man/woman on oscar or something. Damn.
i thought it was 'swallow her eyes' but 'whose water will rise' makes more sense, anyway, beautiful, makes me want to cry, which is very unusual for me :S
to be honest thrice is a good band but i like there old stuff more such as the artist in the ambulance and stare at the sun. it just had a better tempo to it, they are not the same rock band they used to be and they are using electronic beats instead. its just not the same thrice that mad them popular
i agree that the old thrice was really good, but their new record really proves that being musicians isn't only about popularity and money... and if you're someone who is REALLY into music, you must admit that their new stuff is simply genius
Dallas green said it best when the band was asked when they would be going back to the roots of the first cd, He said never because never will they feel or be able to capture what they did at that point in their lives where they wrote that album. So the everchanging process of thrice is what makes them popular and so respected. The changes are what we should anticipate most because we have such respect for the original presentations
Thrice is just awesome, it's differente from rest of bands (i havent listened all bands in world) but their style is unique, not same punk or hxc stuff, that sounds equal, lol.
the ending is incredible, the harmonies on their own leave you stunned :D, this and lost continent are fantastic, just brilliant! i love the little piano riff after 'will you be coming home to me', aargh i love it! and yes the oooooh at the end isn't particularly special but it is more about the mood i think, it leaves you calm and feeling like you are submerged in water. Great song, thrice!
all the fire tracks are awesome. digital sea and open water are pretty good. the whaler and kings upon the main are awesome, but i dont see how people like how the whaler ends. i would like it with more climactic music than "ooooooh ooooooooooh" over and over again. heck, that isnt even that bad when there's music playing in the background but they decide to cut the background music off and just leave the weird oooooing to itself ;_;
Chills everytime...

And the harmonizing "aaaah" at the end to sound like waves of the ocean.

to be honest thrice is a good band but i like there old stuff more such as the artist in the ambulance and stare at the sun. it just had a better tempo to it, they are not the same rock band they used to be and they are using electronic beats instead. its just not the same thrice that mad them popular

If you hasn't noticed, this is a concept album. This is also the water ep which is slower than fiya.

i agree that the old thrice was really good, but their new record really proves that being musicians isn't only about popularity and money... and if you're someone who is REALLY into music, you must admit that their new stuff is simply genius

Dallas green said it best when the band was asked when they would be going back to the roots of the first cd, He said never because never will they feel or be able to capture what they did at that point in their lives where they wrote that album. So the everchanging process of thrice is what makes them popular and so respected. The changes are what we should anticipate most because we have such respect for the original presentations

Thrice is just awesome, it's differente from rest of bands (i havent listened all bands in world) but their style is unique, not same punk or hxc stuff, that sounds equal, lol.

the ending is incredible, the harmonies on their own leave you stunned :D, this and lost continent are fantastic, just brilliant! i love the little piano riff after 'will you be coming home to me', aargh i love it! and yes the oooooh at the end isn't particularly special but it is more about the mood i think, it leaves you calm and feeling like you are submerged in water. Great song, thrice!

all the fire tracks are awesome. digital sea and open water are pretty good. the whaler and kings upon the main are awesome, but i dont see how people like how the whaler ends. i would like it with more climactic music than "ooooooh ooooooooooh" over and over again. heck, that isnt even that bad when there's music playing in the background but they decide to cut the background music off and just leave the weird oooooing to itself ;_;
and lost continent is just awful.

This song is probably the only song on either of the albums worth listening to. Sad, I had such high hopes for this project.
