This week's BotW is Thrice. I chose them first because I have been listening to them a lot recently. Thrice is an interesting band. They started out as a straight-up punk band, but over the years their sound has evolved into a more post-punk type sound. I like both their older stuff and their new stuff, but I have to admit I discovered Thrice when they had already made the switch to the post-punk genre. My favorite album by Thrice is probably The Artist in the Ambulance which is their last real punk album before they started their switch to post-punk with Vheissu, which is another solid album. After Vheissu, they released The Alchemy Index, which is a collection of four EPs each with a different theme based on the four elements: Fire, Water, Air, and Earth. It's a very interesting concept, but honestly I haven't had the chance to listen to all of the songs. Thrice's latest album Beggars continues with their new progressive sound, and adds a kind of bluesy feel to some of the songs. Over all Thrice is a great band and has something to offer for almost everyone.
