Thrice - “The Abolition of Man” (ft. Mike Minnick of Curl Up and Die)

Lyrics -
Wake up everyone! It's not too late
To save the remnants of our hearts
So stop giving up our last shot at love
Our only chance to find the meaning of
The beat beneath the blood
We laugh at honor and are shocked when
We find knives in our backs
We follow those who cheat and steal
Look in my eyes, you won't find your way back
Our only compass smashed under our own heels
Reason abandoned to appetites and addicts arms
Shotguns and silence have always been the best charms
Our only compass smashed under our own heels
Under our iron will
The abolition of man is within the reach of science
But are we so far gone that we'll try it

The outro of this song is the most epic of all time. Period.

[ifwecouldonlyseeusnow]

heaviest core song ever. imagine writing such heavy song in 2003.
what a band

[rhythmgtr]

This is probably my favorite of the re-recorded songs. Well done

[Daethar]

Heavy Thrice is very welcomed! Im very pleased that I can hear you guys in the heavier version. You guys should record heavier album or two :)

[rickyparquette]

Ahhhh good ol Mikey boy! C.U.A.D. is part of 702 history.

This song goes waaaay harder with Dustin's modern vocals.

[markd]

Amazing. Chills. Nostalgia.

Also: Anyone else notice right after the breakdown, the pronunciation of "the" from "thee" (2003) to "tha" (2023) ("THE abolition of man is within the reach of science, but are we so far gone that we'll try it")? I suppose Mike is the one I hear pronouncing it differently, so it is altogether a different person.

Thanks for holding the space/light Thrice

[LocalMotions]

Yes!!! The abolition of man is in full effect unfortunately. Stay free in every way people.

[Darrkness]

Still one of my heavy rotation favorites. Sing it! 🖤

[jessehutchings]

If Dustin takes back his position in the band from Post Malone this could be so epic

[d.a.]

Maybe i'm asking too much, but i'd love to listen a revisit of the alchemy index

[MikePerf]

Anyone knows what effect (modulation) is used on the lead riff? Sounds like a pitch shifter or a detune.

[Kaktusalax]

LOOK. IN. MY. EYES. YOU WON'T FIND YOUR WAY BACK.

I still love the album but I don’t like the retcon version. I am still a purist at heart that bought this album at a show my friend and I were able to talk his Mormon mom into taking us to.

I get the who owns rights to the music and you kinda have to release b-sides but I wish you would have left it alone.

I went to live shows to hear it differently than the album not for it all to just be changed as if it was always the way it was
