| | Thrice Beggars CD Thrice Discography of CDs
Irvine, California-based quartet Thrice are oft-described as "the Radiohead of heavy music," and true to that somewhat grandiose tag, their music transcends nearly all of the genre-bound strictures of the metal, hardcore, and punk that has been woven into their post-hardcore DNA. BEGGARS, the group's seventh album, wisely sidesteps some of the indulgences of their ambitious (but flawed) EP series, THE ALCHEMY INDEX. Containing all of the progressive fire of that series, tempered by a straightforward and honest approach to song craft, the album delivers a lot of what longtime Thrice fans have been clamoring for (colossal, heavy riffs) while striving for sound that won't alienate newer, more mainstream, listeners.

Beggars album
 $11.39    
The outbursts of '80s thrash, classic British metal, and post-punk melodies forge The Illusion of Safety into an emocore epic of rare proportions. Atypically dynamic for its genre, Thrice stabs at punk-pop with grandiose guitar harmonies, hardcore vocal wails, and a Metallic (note the big "M") chunk that transforms its emo turnarounds into progressive ...

Brand New's ability to jump between quiet textures and grating, full-throttle passages has been the centerpiece of several albums, but the Long Island boys revisit that formula once again with DAISY. The band's fourth LP begins rather formally, as a classical piano plays beneath ...
| | Thrice Alchemy Index Vols. I & II: Fire & Water CDs (2007) Digipak
Beggars CD music
$11.49 
In what seems like a textbook "big rock" move, Thrice have broken up their new album into two distinct stylistic categories, FIRE and WATER. Critics will call it pretension, but Thrice has used the structure as a vehicle to explore different facets of their distinct post-hardcore sound. Thrice has continued to move in all sorts of interesting directions since their inception, and THE ALCHEMY INDEX: VOLS I & II shows them taking that next step into complexity.
Appropriately ...

Beggars CD music
$13.59
Tom Rapp's first album for Blue Thumb was in some ways an improvement over the disappointing final pair of records he did for Reprise. In title and cover art, it harked back to Pearls Before Swine's classic first two albums for ESP-Disk, complete with another painting by Breughel the Elder on the sleeve, but the album was produced in Nashville and features the usual local session crew: pianist David Briggs, fiddle player Buddy Spicher, multi-instrumentalist Charlie McCoy, and the like. They're undeniably fine players all, having worked with everyone from Elvis to Mike Nesmith, but Rapp is a special case. The best Pearls Before Swine songs were simply, almost starkly arranged, often with only guitar or harp, and sometimes with Rapp's delicate voice by itself. There are some excellent songs on STARDANCER, particularly the mournful title track and "For the Dead in Space" (later the title of an excellent Tom Rapp tribute album), and "Fourth Day in July" is one of Rapp's most meaningful anti-war songs.
After seven Pearls Before Swine albums Rapp signed for Blue Thumb as a singer-songwriter, ...
