FLASHBACK FRIDAYS: Thrice "To Be Everywhere Is to Be Nowhere"

<p>This week, I'm highlighting an album that came out in the year 2016, Thrice's "To Be Everywhere Is to Be Nowhere". This was my favorite record released in 2016, so I felt as if it needed to be remembered and honored appropriately.</p> <p><em><strong>To Be Everywhere Is to Be Nowhere</strong></em> is the ninth studio album by American <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_music" title="Rock music">rock</a> band <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrice" title="Thrice">Thrice</a>. The album was released on May 27, 2016, through <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vagrant_Records" title="Vagrant Records">Vagrant Records</a>. <em>To Be Everywhere Is to Be Nowhere</em> is Thrice's first release after a four-year hiatus that lasted from mid-2012 to mid-2015, and the band's first album of original material in five years since 2011's <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Major/Minor_(album)" title="Major/Minor (album)"><em>Major/Minor</em></a>. During the hiatus, most of the band members continued performing music and pursued other interests, which included moving to other cities or states with their new families.</p> <p>After reuniting and performing sporadic festival dates in 2015, Thrice announced the band's intention to release a new album the following year. Because of the distance between the members' new homes, the demos for <em>To Be Everywhere Is to Be Nowhere</em> were written, recorded, shared and worked on digitally using software programs that were not as prevalent before they went on hiatus. Produced by Eric Palmquist, the resulting recording was a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_rock" title="Hard rock">hard rock</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-hardcore" title="Post-hardcore">post-hardcore</a> and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grunge" title="Grunge">grunge</a> album that features songs with more politically and socially charged lyrics than those on previous Thrice albums.</p> <p>Thrice formally announced the release of <em>To Be Everywhere Is to Be Nowh
