2011, Thrice has been a staple in the alternative-modern-rock world for nearly ten years now. With no real need for introduction, Thrice is known for effortlessly and continuously releasing groundbreaking records. Their eighth album MAJOR/MINOR is no exception. Much like BEGGARS, MAJOR/MINOR was derived in large part by jam sessions and is quite literally the brain-child of all four band members. MAJOR/MINOR sheds light on a side of Thrice fans have yet to see. Comprised of eleven songs, the album possesses an analog warmth and organic landscape reminiscent of indie-music's predecessor; one of the biggest music trends to come from the underground in the 1990's. That's right, grunge.
