"This is my favourite album ever. I spent the end of my teenage years and my early twenties listening to old music – rockabilly music, stuff like that. Then I discovered folk music when I was 25, and that led me to Dylan. He totally blew me away with this. It’s like the great album from the second period, y’know? He did that first run of albums in the Sixties, then he started doing his less troublesome albums – and out of that comes Blood On The Tracks. It’s his masterpiece"

"Radiohead is definitely Thrice’s collective favourite band. As much as we all listen to a ton of different stuff, Radiohead is a constant inspiration and influence. As difficult as it is to choose a favourite Radiohead record, for some reason In Rainbows feels like the most consistently listenable record. From the moment I heard the record it had a comfortably lived-in feel to it, to the point that I didn’t realize quite how good it was until its genius had slowly swelled in my mind after weeks of listening."

"One of the other records that lived in our house when we were growing up was The Best Of The Animals and I was trying to decide between that and this but I went with Animalization because it's an album. I was really into 60s-70s British rock, I really like that sound, and I really liked The Animals, I loved Eric Burdon's voice. After listening to The Best Of… growing up it was Animalization that I bought when I first had money to buy my own things with."
