This DVD/CD combination pack by the Post-hardcore quartet from Irvine, CA, features a 100 minute DVD and an 9-track CD. The DVD contains live concert footage, behind-the-scenes access to the band and their fans, never-before-seen material and music spanning the band's career. The CD contains rare and unreleased acoustic and live tracks.
Thrice: Dustin Kensrue (vocals, guitar); Teppei Teranishi (guitar); Eddie Breckenridge (bass guitar); Riley Breckenridge (drums). Thrice rose quickly from playing all-ages shows in Orange County backyards to rocking the Warped Tour and a record deal on Island. Released early in 2005, If We Could Only See Us Now chronicles the California quartet's first six years with assorted live footage and extensive interviews with the bandmembers, their people, and Thrice fans themselves. That's who this set's for anyway: the fans -- it's a holdover until the follow-up to Artist in the Ambulance, slated for August 2005. Packaged with the DVD is a nine-song EP of B-sides, live cuts, and non-LP tracks. Everything was released previously, but it's nice to have it all in one place. "Eclipse" and "Motion Without Meaning" were Ambulance bonus tracks, while the acoustic-and-strings version of "Stare at the Sun" was originally on the single for "All That's Left." Two tracks from a 2003 in-store are the highlight here. Largely acoustic, "Cold Cash, Colder Hearts" and "Artist in the Ambulance" nevertheless retain Thrice's wound-tight center. "Ambulance" is particularly revealing. Unplugged, it sounds remarkably like Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me-era Cure, updated to hit the hearts of 21st century kids with an even more urgent melody. (Those kids can be heard singing along with Thrice's Dustin Kensrue during the song's climax.) The EP fills out with covers and additional B-sides. Renditions of "Eleanor Rigby" and the Real Life's 1980s synth pop nugget "Send Me an Angel" are consumed at every turn by whining electric guitars, but a subdued live run through "So Strange I Remember You" (originally from 2002's Illusion of Safety) benefits from a vintage organ and Kensrue's pleading vocal. ~ Johnny Loftus IF WE COULD ONLY SEE US NOW is the second major-label release by California hardcore act Thrice, and the band's relationship with Island Records continues to benefit the group, lending a rich studio sheen to its muscular, driving sound. Thrice builds its aesthetic on the foundations of Southern California punk predecessors such as Bad Religion, and, like that revered group, Thrice are politically motivated and combine jackhammer rhythms, searing guitars, and raw-throated vocals with a keen ear for melody. At nine tracks, two of which are live and one of which is a bootleg recording, the audio-only portion of IF WE COULD ONLY SEE US NOW is essentially an EP of rarities that accompanies the in-depth DVD (which includes live performances and band interviews). Ferocious, blistering cuts like "Eclipse" will please the most devoted headbangers, while an epic cover of the Beatles' "Eleanor Rigby" and "Stare at the Sun," a lilting acoustic number with orchestral backing, prove that the band are versatile and adventurous.

Steph From New Zealand Is NOOB Thrice's older stuff is amazing and like the other dude said it was along the lines of Metallica, which i am a huge fan of the older Metallica, The Artist In The Ambulance was a good cd but to catchy and poppy, but thats all that cd was good nothing great, Illusion Of Safety is my favourite but also Identity Crisis kicks major a$$ too.... Thrice is still one of the greatest Metalcore/Punk-Rock bands i have heard Submitted by Hate Crew Soldier (Alkatraz, CA) Was This Review Helpful? Yes No
comment on STEPH FROM NEW ZEALAND..... thrice has always known how to make kickass music. its called metal, and its amazing. their early stuff comparing to old metallica, yea artist in the ambulance, a good record, was a change because they wanted to make an album that made money so people like u would buy it and think its better than their old stuff. whatever. this new album is awesome as well.
