Relationship of Command is my favorite album of all time and I will drive anywhere in a three hour radius to see them (possibly more depending on the situation), but I'm keeping my expectations low either way.

Aw man, the closest date to here is at Shaky Knees and that's at least 6 hours away :(

I was about to say they've only announced two US dates but I saw the rest on the website. Will be sitting at my computer with my mouse over the "Buy Tickets" button next Friday for the Chicago show.

Wow, Thrice is still around? :3:

The early 2000's are coming back - next youre gonna tell me Thursday is coming by.

They were on hiatus for like three years but they're still very good. Thursday's breakup wasn't all that long ago either.

I saw Thrice and La Dispute together in 2011 or 2012. It was excellent but I don't love Rooms of the House and I caught Thrice again at Riot Fest so I'll pass.

No bot problems here in Chicago! Got my ticket even though there's a chance I'll get a press pass (in which case I'll sell it at face value).

Didn't he find out about the reunion through social media or something?

It might be in bad taste but you guys are acting like Talking Heads reunited without David Byrne or something. If you went from pumped about this tour to selling your ticket immediately because the second guitarist isn't playing then I seriously question your decision making.

Lighten up, slugger. No one's gonna make you go to the show or buy the record.

That's fair. I'd really just like to hear Jim's side of the story instead of vague statements about mutually parting ways

So basically they're playing every single song I want them to

I would give the setlist an A (would've been nice to have one song from Acrobatic Tenement, but I get why they wouldn't go there) and the performance a B/B+. A lot of my issues were probably venue-related. I sacrificed sightlines and sound quality to be up close where I thought all the energy was gonna be. Should've hung back like I did with Refused on their reunion tour in 2012.

They definitely sound aged beyond the point of recapturing the old magic but it will probably be miles better than the Refused comeback.

I'm only 24 going on 25 so I didn't hear the band until around 2009, but RoC is my favorite album of all time so the expectations are impossible. If I had heard this when I was discovering them I probably would have put it on In/Casino/Out level. As an adult I'd say it's better than Acrobatic Tenement but clearly below everything after that.

lol they just canceled their Chicago show with less than three weeks to go because they're actually playing Riot Fest. Well-handled all around.
