Thrice have proven themselves time and time again to be one of the most diverse bands in history of music and this album does not disappoint. This is not hyperbole. Back in 2002 Thrice released Illusion of Safety which was a milestone for 'post-hardcore/punk' bands everywhere. This was followed up by Artist in the Ambulance which is probably my favourite album ever, it was very heavy and extremely energetic. The next album Vheissu took on a new direction becoming more melodic, with some incredible songs. The next album(s) Alchemy Index are an amazing piece of art in themselves. They were really diverse having all sorts of genres from electronic to folk to hardcore on them. As a complete reaction to this Beggars was released. This was extremely raw and sounded just like 4 people jamming. The result was a fantastic album which got better on every listen. The new album Major/Minor follows on where Beggars left off. From a musical point of view Major/Minor is fascinating, it's unpredictable and very exciting. A lot of the time Major chords will slot in to places where the listener would expect a minor chord which makes for an intense listen. The lyrics are also phenomenal, it makes a difference from pop music to hear meaningful lyrics that look deep into life. Like Beggars Major/Minor gets better with every listen. I would encourage you to listen at least 3/4 times before coming to a conclusion. For any existing fans be aware that Thrice have progressed beyond the days of Illusion of Safety. I should also mention that the drumming by Riley is amazing, this album has really allowed him to show off his more technical side of drumming.

Stand out songs include...

'Yellow Belly'
'Anthology'
'Call it in the air'

I hope you enjoy Major/Minor and Thrice as much as I do.

Whilst not the sonic revolution that many expect from Thrice on the release of a new album, Major/Minor is consistently brilliant from start to finish, with a beautiful spectrum of music and tales from the pen of Mr Dustin Kensrue, the lead singer of the band. From the explosive opening of Yellow Belly through to the haunting closure of Disarmed, the band takes you through an audible tour-de-force of emotion, spiritual belief and social commentary without preaching - a fine line to tread, but one which Thrice have tread so well over the last decade.

I'm not going to comment on all tracks, but the pacing on the album is nigh perfect, particularly between the eclectic Cataracts (Track 4) to the dream-like Words In The Water (Track 8) with Anthology (Track 10) proving to be a real stand out track, charting the history and evolution of the band over the last decade perfectly.

To all Thrice fans over the years and those just starting with the band, Major/Minor is a quality record (certainly one of the stand-outs of the year) that will keep you hooked for many listens. It's beauty seeps from every note, beat and word into a record that you owe to your ears to listen to.

New wine. 21 Sep 2011
By D. Curry - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
You're going to inevitably read reviews that go something like "Why doesn't Thrice go back to their thrash metal ways?"

The answer is that they have already conquered that mountain. Their music is like wine -- it gets better with time, and nobody puts new wine into old wineskins...

So please don't listen to any reviews that focus on what Thrice isn't, or used to be. This review is about Major/Minor, but I will say that there are moments that hark back to Vheissu (Treading Paper has a movement that really reminds me of Of Dust and Nations) and Beggars (the organic feel of Beggars continues in Major/Minor, but things are a bit more polished with M/m).

This is incredibly mature songwriting, both lyrically and musically. Kensrue's lyrics are poetic and profound. The music, written collaboratively, must have been written with the lyrics in mind, because the combination of music and word is seamless. Each song seems to be a study in contrasts, which makes the title Major/Minor very fitting. My favorite contrast is explored most explicitly in Words in the Water.

Personal favorites (so far): Blinded, Treading Paper, Words in the Water, Blur, Call It in the Air.

You don't need to be a Thrice fan to like this. You just have to like good music.

An amazing band that continues to deliver time and time again 14 Sep 2011
By A. Napier - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Vinyl|Amazon Verified Purchase
This band seems to be able to change their sound, and do it well, every single album. This quality is very rare in a band, and says loads about their talent. Major/Minor delivers such a wide array of rock from start to finish, and its quite entrancing. Don't expect to hear any synth on this record, just raw guitar greatness. Dustin's vocals are absolutely incredible, and the band as a whole has done a fantastic job with this one. Check out "Treading Paper", "Listen Through Me" and "Disarmed".

Just what you would expect from Thrice 20 Sep 2011
By Garrett Redd - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
If you are a Thrice fan, you know what I'm about to say.....I know you've come to expect greatness.

I said it in my last Thrice review for the Album "Beggars", it is a real pleasure to watch these guys grow from album to album. The fact of the matter is Thrice has knocked it out of the park with "Major/Minor". The intensity of this album both lyrically and musically is unmatched in their catalog thus far. That is saying alot, I know, but after the first spin of the album I just felt like something different is happening hear....EVERYTHING WORKS.

I first noticed it with Dustin's vocal delivery. Know Dustin has always been a powerful singer, and no stranger to releasing emotion, however on this album the honesty and connection to the material is just masterful, he means every single word he says and sings. You can't argue that.

Next, THE GUITARS, where do I start, well, they take it to the next level, sound spectacular, and never let it up.

The 1st time I fully disgested Thrice's album Vheissu back in 2005/2006, I thought to myself, okay this is their masterpiece how can they possibly keep this up in the years to come. Well they certainly have from album to album in the years since, and come dangerously close to topping Vheissu here with Minor/Major. But, I dont want to get into comparing the albums, they are seperate projects anyway, and this one is GREAT in it's own way.

Powerhouse performances from all envolved. Good Job Thrice. Again.
