So put your faith
in more than steel
I've seen Thrice live a few times and this is pretty much how they play those songs in concert nowadays (sans any extensions/flair they might do live), which imo is a pretty great thing. Especially since they don't play a lot of that record regularly on tour.

On first listen The Melting Point of Wax and Don't Tell And We Won't Ask got the best treatment here.
In fact I never liked the album version of don't tell at all and was blown away when I heard it live the first time.

Anyway, should be a good taste of what you'll get from their anniversary tour which I am sure as poo poo going to. It's their first time back in Canada since COVID!

Is there any general timeline as to when ticket resales are cheapest?
Some tickets to Thrice in Montreal are down to about 1/3 of what they were initially trying to gouge for. Not sure if I should expect that to continue to under $100 a ticket. Show is 4 weeks out

The Blood Brothers - This Adultery Is Ripe (Full Album)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hk01ThRpCd4

Does anyone have recommendations for an album like this that's come out from a band in the last ~10 years? I used to love their album Crimes as a youth and listened to this album (their first one) for the first time last night. It's interesting to hear a band be experimental and find their sound.

So I guess my question is: Does anyone have an example of a band finding their sound with something that isn't exactly fun to listen to (the not fun part is my focus kind of).. but they're trying different things and you listen to it and go "ohh that's what they were going for"? I really enjoyed listening to this album even though I don't think I liked it necessarily, but you can hear what they were eventually going to do and I'm looking for stuff like that if that makes sense.

Experimental albums.

Thrice's arc from The Artist in the Ambulance > Vheissu > The Alchemy Index* > Beggars is a very significant shift from a band who were possibly lined up to be the biggest act of the melodic hardcore scene in the early aughts to what they are today.

Vheissu to most people is either one of their best albums or a massive disappointment if you wanted Ambulance Pt.2. *The Alchemy Index is literally a 4 part experimental album (with some lasting, powerful singles). By Beggars they might be unrecognizable if their vocalist weren't so distinct. They carry forward a lot of pieces of many of their albums and influences today but I might argue that's kind of the "base" of their sound now.

Take this with the appropriate amount of salt from the dude with the Thrice avatar.
