The Artist in the Ambulance Episode

Today's episode is Part Two of my conversation with Todd Anderson of The Dear Misses. Todd and I discuss the seminal third album "The Artist in the Ambulance" by Thrice. Thrice signed with a major label in 2002 after the unexpected success of their second album "The Illusion of Safety". The album garnered the band critical and fan praise. We talk about the themes of the record, as well as how the record has stood the test of time. We talk about how Thrice chose to go a different direction from many of their contemporaries at the time. The lyrics and themes of the record tackle heavy subjects like third world oppression, seeking knowledge and truth, political theatrics, and the information age. We had a great time chatting about this important album, and how it helped to shape and define a genre. Enjoy!
