A very fascinating album in the Thrice catalogue, Major / Minor sees them actually continue down the path laid by themselves on Beggars instead of doing something completely different yet again. Which is funny, because where Beggars was very stripped back and weirdly intimate with its sound, M/M goes for the in your face Alt Rock sound. Sometimes the guitars still sizzle with that Post-Hardcore fire, the drums rumble well, Eddies basslines are nice as always and Dustin still has that raw ... read more
After listening in on repeat mode three times and intensely for 3 hours, I can finally conclude that Mitski is still on the right track. The pattern of the songs on this album is similar to "Be the Cowboy" and "Laurel Hell." Mitski does not adhere to the standard standards of pop music in the mass culture industry: Intro-verse-chorus-verse-chorus-interlude-coda.

This is another awesome project from her. She is great at doing a variety of styles while still having her own sound. I always love the background vocals in her music, it sounds very layered, dreamy and ethereal. She basically writes and produces all her songs, and has interesting lyrics. Also the way she switches between singing and rapping in Chinese, English and even Spanish is very smooth. There aren't any tracks on here I don't like. I think my favorites right now are FORTUNA, dance dance, ... read more
