Thrice's next to last CD (Vheissu) is definitely a step away from the more prevalent "basic" rock of their previous CD (The Artist in the Ambulance). Vheissu still has some of the same hard rock/screamo themes of The Artist in the Ambulance, but it also expands more on a softer side of their music. While I would in no means call Vheissu a "soft" CD, it does bring a fusion of screaming and a softer style together in a moving way.
One main varying component of these two CDs is the drum styling. In The Artist in the Ambulance the drums were more of a hardcore, double-bass heavy, driving force. Vheissu, however, has a more "artistic" style drumming, not counting on a prominent bass drum sound to carry the drums. While Vheissu still contains a substantial amount of the "hardcore" drums, it is produced in such a way that it doesn't feel overpowering.
While they are both great CDs, I'd have to say that the winner of this round is Vheissu. It's originality while still containing a rock feel gives it a slight edge over The Artist in the Ambulance.
