The band\u2019s set list for this tour was made with the help of input by fans, and live audio recorded at various stops on the tour, creating a true collector\u2019s release.\u00a0 <em>\u2018Anthology\u2019<\/em> is available in all formats, digitally, two CD\u2019s, or a four-piece LP box set, and is really a comprehensive, raw compilation of a long, successful career.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>The tracks on this album don\u2019t really sound live in the best way possible, probably because we\u2019re used to hearing live music either in person, getting blasted by the speakers and pushed around by crazy fans, or through a low-quality video online. The sound is crisp, clean, and near perfect. This album wasn\u2019t cleaned up, and the slight imperfections you might detect in lead vocalist Dustin Kensrue\u2019s voice only serves to remind you that he is human.<\/span><!-- more --><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>However, you do get the live quality with applause before and after each song, with some chatter with the fans (like on <em>\u2018Silhouette\u2019<\/em>) and introductions into songs. The most \u201clive\u201d feeling track is their breakout song <em>&lsquo;The Artist and the Ambulance&rsquo;<\/em> from the same-titled album from 2003. The audience sings along, and there is this certain energy that a studio recorded song just doesn\u2019t have. The obvious passion <strong>Thrice<\/strong> has for playing for their fans truly shines through here.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>From beginning to end, it does feel like a live concert. The set list was crafted to mix up albums and moments from their career, with the emotional and passionate tracks and the heavy, technical songs arranged perfectly, like with<em> \u2018Red Sky\u2019<\/em> and<em> \u2018Deadbolt\u2019<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span><em>\u2018Anthology\u2019<\/em> is an album for fans. It\u2019s a niche release, not meant to gain followers or popularity. There\u2019s nothing new, so this is perfect for a band with a strong following, but it may be difficult for newcomers to enjoy this release. But that\u2019s not really the point. <strong>Thrice <\/strong>has so much experience, have grown so much throughout their 13 years together, and their level of musicianship is hard to match. This keepsake-style release is the earmark of a band with a cult-like following, and the simple fact that they can release such a high-quality live album shows their talent.
