    It is as exciting and enthralling a listen as anything Thrice have ever created. [Oct 2011, p.105]

    This is the sound of a band hitting their stride and just running with all of their strengths on show--and there can be no complaints about that.

    Major/Minor is an unusually conventional and yet glorious statement from a band characterised by fearless experimentation and exquisite music. [24 Sep 2011, p.53]

    It ain't a perfect, cohesive statement, but Major/Minor packs too much power to be ignored.

    There is no doubt that this is one of the best albums ever created. The lyrical work and the tunes are stunning, not a shock coming from Thrice, as Dustin's lyrics are always deep and meaningful.

    Thrice albums are the only releases in music that I truly look forward to each time, ever since I first got hooked all those years ago. This is no exception. 'Major/Minor' is an incredible album, and any self-respecting Thrice fan, or music fan, for that matter, should pick it up. At least give it a listen. It's well worth your time.… Expand

    Another solid release from a band who has gone from away from their experimental side to just create a really good rock album. Beggars is still my favorite, but this is a nice detour.… Expand

    We all know the danger of groups with math rock tendencies; dullness is only a repeated motif away. However, Major/Minor avoids that pitfall with some ease. What Thrice have delivered, somewhat unexpectedly, is an accomplished if rather unfashionable alternative rock album in the mould of Interpol and their ilk. Though far from a classic or even one of 2011's best, it is a worthwhile listen.… Collapse
