		While their earlier material was driven by crunchy riffs, intricate guitar playing and songs that bounded between yearning melodies and scathing dissonance, Vheissu is alternately rooted in mystical and atmospheric textures and arrangements that refuse to draw distinctions between loud and soft.
		Vheissu is the kind of album that is unexpected, unprecedented and undeniable.
		The open-minded approach Thrice took for Vheissu allowed them to write songs that were as surprising and inspirational to the four band members as to their fans.

	Vheissu - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Vheissu is the fourth studio album by Thrice.
		The album is characterised by many critics as being experimentally different, using non-traditional Thrice elements in the process.
		U.K. producer Steve Osborne, whose past credits include many Brit-pop hits, was sought by Thrice to gain a new perspective on the songwriting process, enabling the band to expand their musical influences and produce a different album.

	VoxPop Archive \| Thrice, Vheissu, and Dustin Kensrue
		With their 4th full-length album, Vheissu, Orange County’s Thrice have made a record with the kind of depth and attention to detail not commonly found in most contemporary rock releases.
		Vheissu is not a “10,” but the standout tracks on the record and the trajectory the band is on would certainly indicate that Thrice are quite capable of achieving that 10…and soon.
		Chances are, when it comes to potential fans, Vheissu won’t even appear on their radar because they don’t go to Warped Tour or read Alternative Press.

		Most of the time, however, Vheissu is caught in the crossfire of the band’s alternate visions, making for bumpy, meandering arrangements that are too eclectic to meet the needs of either Thrice’s ambitious streak or its hard-rockin’ roots.
		Vheissu’s steps are shaky, but, with any luck, they’ll be the first toward a new, majestic Thrice.
		Ridiculous review, like the last comment stated the man didnt even get one of the song names he mentioned right, vheissu is an amazing record, one of my favourites of all time, isuggest to anyone who thinks the record is garbage to give it a harder listen.

	The Maneater - Thrice’s ambition pays off (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Vheissu retains some of the band’s older sound while showing off its tendency to experiment with instruments such as a Japanese music box.
		The only track on Vheissu less than four minutes in length, “Between the End and Where We Lie” opens with ambient, programmed drums and synthesizer, while songs such as “Atlantic” and “Like Moths to Flame” are slow and brooding and find vocalist Dustin Kensrue sounding better than he ever has.
		All in all, Vheissu is an ambitious album made by a band finally coming into its own as a group of songwriters and musicians.

	Virgin Festival
		VHEISSU finds Thrice living up to its potential.ä Alternative Press claimed, ã...VHEISSU [is] the band's most challenging effort yet.
		VHEISSU, released last October 18th, was nominated for the New Pantheon Music Award during the winter, a prize that ãcelebrates outstanding artistic achievement, regardless of sales figure or hype,ä as voted by other artists, actors and tastemakers.
		The culmination of nearly two years of composition, VHEISSU is an album that displays the sonic contrasts that have always existed with Thrice ö a band capable of attracting audiences to the Vans Warped Tour as easily as it captivates fans at Coachella and Reading & Leeds.

	Thrice Titles Upcoming Album
		I brought Vheissu to the table a long time ago because I had always thought it was a beautiful word, and it had no definite meaning in the book it is from (V by Thomas Pynchon, though that is not the word's origin), but was more a loose collection of myths.
		But then beneath the surface, there are a a lot of interesting, if obscure, references to Vheissu in the book (and in critiques of the book) which could serve to inform aspects of the artwork, and create a general sense of mystery, which is something we all value I think.
		Virgil cites Vesuvius as the entrance to the underworld, and in the book this is fleshed out and it is hinted at that there is a ancient race of people, who have access to underground tunnels that lead underneath all nations of the earth.

		These are the adoring submissives, the fans who filled Thrice-related message boards with dramatic tributes and pledges of allegiance in the run-up to Vheissu's October release.
		Thrice fuels that devotion -- Vheissu's deluxe edition includes wordy, earnest testimonials from each bandmember on his inspirations, his songwriting, and the recording process.
		In Vheissu's most opaque moments you wonder, is this for everyone, or just the converted, those kids standing next to their stereos in salute?

	The Alchemy Index, Vols. 1 & 2: Fire & Water Review \| Thrice \| Reviews @ Ultimate-Guitar.Com
		Really the fact is whenever a band makes such a drastic change in their sound (and I don't see how anyone could argue there wasnt a somewhat drastic change) they are inevitably going to leave some fans behind who liked how they used to sound.
		Vheissu is such an incredibly under rated album, EVERY song I found was enjoyable except the first track on the album which was to please the older fans.
		Vheissu was an amazing album and took heavy music to a place where I thought it couldnt go.

		Vheissu is a fictional location in Thomas Pynchon's novel V., which was published in 1963.
		He seems to have found evidence fifteen years later that Vheissu extended into Antarctica, possibly through a network of underground tunnels, one of which is also under Mt. VESUvius.
		I called the studio Vheissu because I wanted it to be a place far enough removed from everything around it that it was a universe unto itself while still connected in some secret ways to the world outside.

	Amazon.co.uk: Vheissu [VINYL]: Thrice: Music
		Vheissu has a mix of tracks with some ranging from quiet tracks to very loud screaming ones.
		Vheissu is a lot darker and more atmospheric than before.
		Vheissu is a good effort, but hopefully next time Thrice will have the guts to go all the way.

		Parts of ‘Vheissu’ are comfortable and soft to which many fans of Sparta, Ours, Travis, and so on would love to sink their teeth into.
		Then other songs on the album give you the sense of that common sound made famous by bands like Taking Back Sunday and which would get your annoying younger sister to put up posters of them all over her bedroom wall.
		But overall the songs are well written and easy to listen to, causing ‘Vheissu’ to get consistent rotation in your CD player.

	: : TinyVoices / Thrice - Vheissu : :
		Thrice believe Vheissu is the most hopeful record they’ve ever written, and this may stem from all their well-documented charity work.
		As part of their contract with Island Records they demanded a percentage of their previous album (The Artist In The Ambulance) sales be donated to the SSE Foundation.
		Similarly with Vheissu, a percentage of the sales will go to 826 Valencia, a tutorial programme designed to help underprivileged children improve their communication skills.

		Used to be a huge fan of these guys till Vheissu came out..not sure what happened to their style but I am def not a fan of the newer stuff =(.

		Unlike their past albums, which were penned during downtime from touring, Thrice came up with many of the ideas for Vheissu while they were on the road supporting their 2003 record The Artist in the Ambulance.
		With "Vheissu," all that is likely to change.
		Thrice are simply a band tired of playing the same old kinds of songs, so on "Vheissu" they have created a new style for themselves.

	Tower Records - Vheissu [10/18] * - Thrice (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Thrice are part of a post-hardcore tradition that draws on the sonic crush of nu-metal, the varying dynamics and textures of progressive metal, the expressiveness of emo, and the melodic sensibility of mainstream hard rock from the'90s and 2000s.
		'Vheissu' (which means roughly "who are you?" or "what are you?") appropriately suggests that Thrice has found or is finding that identity.
		'Vheissu' is as powerful as it is graceful with it's delicate piano staccatos that flow perfectly into Teppei's distorted guitar storm.

	California band ready to shed screamo label (Site not responding. Last check: )
		With "Vheissu," Thrice has downplayed some of the obvious trademarks of screamo in favor of a more cinematic and majestic hard rock sound that clearly pushes the band beyond such simple categorization.
		In Kensrue's view, "Vheissu" isn't a conscious attempt to reshape Thrice's sound so much as it is just the next step for a band that always wanted to grow and evolve musically.
		What helps the cause on "Vheissu" is that Thrice's talent for melody and dynamics has never been more apparent - and these facets should draw fans to the CD even if they are startled at just how much the band expanded on the more streamlined sound of "Artist In The Ambulance" and the earlier records.

	Iron Warrior - Album Review- 'Vheissu' by Thrice
		Thrice’s Vheissu is a huge leap forward for them, experimenting with cool sounds and some really neat artwork (take a look at the cover).
		Vheissu ends with Red Sky, which is my second favorite song on the CD.
		Comparing Vheissu to old Thrice albums such as Identity Crisis, Illusion of Safety and Artist in the Ambulance, they’ve really moved from that screamo stuff to a sound that doesn’t that doesn’t really fit any category anymore.

	Chord Magazine
		With their new album, Vheissu, it's as though Thrice have drawn a longer, thicker line in the sand and refuse to let anyone cross it, further separating themselves from anything trendy, 'core, and common.
		Vheissu, which takes its name from a work of literature and is pronounced "vee-soo," follows the same stylistic arc as Radiohead's OK Computer or the Deftones' White Pony.
		The hard, charging moments on Vheissu serve to make their points, and move on to more challenging and ultimately more musical, less raging parts.

		Gone are the technical punk riffs that use to be the epicenter of the band's sound, and in their place a vast array of new, diverse instrumentation that shoulder each track into unexplored territory.
		As a whole, the material on Vheissu is distinctly more mellow and atmospheric than ever before, especially on tracks like "Atlantic" where Teppei's newfound penchant for the keys plays an integral role.
		Vheissu is unlike any album in the market right now and that alone is grounds for picking this up.

	Album Review :: Thrice - Vheissu (Site not responding. Last check: )
		As demonstrated by the complexities of their musical arrangements and profound thematic struggles painted by frontman Dustin Kensrue’s gothic-novel lexicon, the quartet is arguably the most intelligent punk band ever issued from Orange County.
		Vheissu’s Masonic, Ouija-board- esque cover art incorporates choice Kensrue quips illustrating the album’s focus on philosophic hope and maritime imagery, hinting that Thrice has shed its rage against society and cast the exoskeleton of their signature hardcore edge overboard in favor of cryptic, nautical mysticism.
		Whether the waves crash in the real world or only in their auditory wonderland, Vheissu is the conveyance that takes Thrice in the direction that they most yearn to go -- out to a kaleidoscopic sea.

	Rolling Stone : Vheissu : Review (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Singer Dustin Kensrue is an achy-voiced wailer able to make a romantic betrayal sound like a nuclear holocaust, vowing to die for his lover over the churning riffs and grand swells of "Like Moths to Flame." You don't have to be down in the mouth to appreciate his epic pain.
		While Thrice impressed many of it's fans with the release of "The Illusion of Safety" and "The Artist in the Ambulance," their newest record showed that the band was growing faster than their fans.
		The musicianship in Vheissu is top of the line and the lyrics are poetic and meaningful.

	ReadJunk.com - News - Thrice Releases VHEISSU 10/18
		VHEISSU takes its title from the loose collection of arcane myths found in V., Thomas Pynchon's classic underground novel of 1963.
		VHEISSU takes its title from the band's desire for the album, and by extension the band's music, to defy categorization and remain subject to the opinions of its audience.
		The band's clearest cited reasons for choosing the title, the belief that VHEISSU "was a beautiful word" and wholly lacking in connotations or a point of reference for the average listener, suggest a new outlook for Thrice on their music and reflect the band's ever-evolving musical landscape.

	Gutsy album proves Thrice has no musical limits (Site not responding. Last check: )
		While hesitant to explain too thoroughly why they have chosen this title, the band has remarked that at each crossroads they face, they feel they are “Standing at Vheissu,” which stands for Vesuvius, cited by Virgil at the entrance to the maze of the underworld in the previously mentioned novel.
		While their earlier material was driven by crunch riffs, intricate guitar playing and songs that bounded between yearning melodies and scathing dissonance, “Vheissu” is alternately rooted in mystical and atmospheric textures and arrangements that refuse to draw distinctions between hard and soft.
		This is a gutsy album that proves the only limits to musical growth are in the artist’s mind, it is difficult to tell where Thrice will go musically after “Vheissu,” but it is clear the album has opened the door for them to go just about anywhere.
