Title: Metallic Emo Kids Provide Riff Therapy
Product review: Thrice melds Brobdingnagian riffs with melodic hooks, complex song structures, and socially aware lyrics: all elements combine to form a spitfire of a record. The record commences with a trifecta, each song flowing and segueing into another. The single "All That's Left" is justified but falls short of the dazzling title track, a pitch-perfect synthesis of pop and metal. Not to mention that the lyrics are rife with optimism and a fresh outlook, ideas not usually evoked in this genre. "Paper Tigers" is all throat tearing screams punctuated by stacatto guitar, a typical hardcore jaunt and the likely supect for weakest track. It could be said that some of the songs sound like duplicates. Nevermind that. Just concentrate on your thundering heart and sweaty palms.
