Description
LABEL: Hopeless Records
RELEASE DATE: 12/26/2025
VARIANT: Yellow Vinyl LP
Thrice’s second album is obsessed with death and destruction — its songs referencing funereal heaviness, plague-ridden Edgar Allen Poe stories and friendship-eroding betrayals — yet it remains one of the most vital encapsulations of the early Aughts post-hardcore scene. Comprising Maiden-esque guitar harmonizing, Metallica-inspired riff assaults, the punchy pace of SoCal pop-punk and heartfelt melody, the boundaryless 2002 album put them on the road with the likes of Hot Water Music, Coheed and Cambria, Face to Face and more. A raw and emotions-loaded release, repressed with bonus cut “That Hideous Strength” on limited edition yellow wax.
