Rob's Best: #28: Thrice - The Artist In The Ambulance

Released: July 22, 2003

This record falls right in the middle of Thrice's discography, between the early releases that were straight up punk records and the later ones which became increasingly experimental... in several different directions at once.  I had kind of a difficult time deciding which Thrice album to include on this list because I like them all, but each for its own unique character.  I chose this one because it stills retains the speed and energy of their earlier albums, but introduces the melody and heaviness found later on Vheissu and The Alchemy Index... Basically, what I'm trying to say is that this record is full of catchy, and interesting punk songs, and that's a good thing.
