Good Stuff

"Considering that this isn't a full album and that it has b-sides (tracks that weren't good enough to make it to full-length albums or just didn't fit, for those of you who didn't know what that meant), covers, and live music it's a really good album. Plus the movie that comes with it is just awesome. You "get to know" the band better through it, and it's just cool all around. I bought it and didn't regret it, I even lost it and can't ever watch it again or listen to the songs, but I still don't regret buying it. If you're a hard-core Thrice fan, such as myself, then you'll enjoy this a lot. If you're a luke-warm fan, this could still be your favorite band movie. If you have the money, and all other Thrice albums then get it. If you're trying to decide between this and any of their full-length albums, get those instead.



Hope that was helpful.



P.S.

I would just like to say to all of the people bickering about whether or not Thrice is a Christian band. Why does it matter? They make great music and that's all we need to know. If you would like to read into their music in a Christian way, then by all means do. But music is poetry, and poetry has infinite meanings, which vary depending on the listener. Basically believe what you will, but don't push it on other people because it doesn't necessarily mean the same thing to everyone. Just my two cents..."

Getting Intimate with Thrice

"If you loved their album Artist in the Ambulance and/or a Thrice fan, this is an AWEOSOME CD to get.



There are two CDs included in this product.



First, there is an audio CD that has nine songs including four remixes from their previous songs (three from Artist in the Ambulance and one from Illusion of Safety).



But the second CD, the DVD, is what I want to go into detail since I didn't really notice any previous reviews mentioning this. It contains a rough two hour journey from when Dustin meets Teppei in high school to the band's big break into the mainstream. I'm disappointed that the band never released any concert DVDs, but this certainly makes up for it to see them narrate their journey and the members of Thrice goofing off and having fun.



Also, the DVD includes three music videos such as "Stare at the Sun."



In general, Thrice is one of the best rock bands with their rocking beats that hits you right on the heart and thought-provoking lyrics that strikes you on the mind.



This is a perfect companion to enjoy along with The Artist in the Ambulance."

Great CD, not a Christian band.

"This is a wonderful cd. It gives superb alternatives to the already magnificent songs that Thrice has released. The Dvd is also a wonderful add on to this package. It gives an intimate look into who Thrice is.

As for the question of wether or not Thrice is a Christian band or not, the answer, i can say with 100% certainty, is no. Dustin Kensrue(guitar and vocals) addresses this in an issue of Relevant magazine. Relevant asks Dustin the question, "How do answer fans who ask if Thrice is a Christian band?"

Dustin replies, and i quote, "No. Some of us are Christians; some of us are not. We are just a band-just four people who play music."

This is a superb disc set and i recommend to anyone and everyone."
