It took me forever to write that review, just because I was so surprised that I disliked a Thrice album so much. I feel like they were trying to break their formula of climax-driven stuff, and go anti-climax. Sort of like Mew did, I guess. Except Mew play a style of music that works much better with that kind of thing, I listened to it many, many times.

I found it to be very boring and unmemorable - two traits I had never imagined I'd associate with them. Artist and Vheissu are two of my favourite albums, but the "groove" they went for with this was not groovy at all, and there were no other elements to make it worthwhile. I'd love if you wrote a rebuttal review though. I am not as huge into the Alchemy Index as everyone else, but I was still incredibly disappointed by Beggars.

I didn't listen to anyone else's opinion on the matter; I myself postponed listening to the CD for months because I was so convinced I was going to hate it. But I finally gave it a try... and the music grabbed me 10 times harder than ANYTHING Alchemy Index-related. I might actually have to write a separate rebuttal review just to educate people on a different perspective through which to appreciate this MASTERPIECE. People were just mad because the album had little to do with their previous works... No one else around here shares my enthusiasm for Beggars, but that's okay.

Magrudergrind is one I haven't seen on many lists though, and it's monstrous. I hated Beggars, and was deeply disappointed as a huge Thrice fan.
