'''''The Artist in the Ambulance''''' is the third studio album by American [[Rock music|rock]] band [[Thrice]]. It was released on July 22, 2003, through [[Island Records]], becoming their first release on a [[major label]]. The band released their second studio album ''[[The Illusion of Safety (Thrice album)|The Illusion of Safety]]'' in March 2002; by July of that year, they were writing material for their next album. Recording sessions were held with producer [[Brian McTernan]] at [[Bearsville Studios]] in [[Bearsville, New York]]; [[Salad Days Studios]] in [[Beltsville, Maryland]]; and Phase Studios in [[College Park, Maryland]].

Following tours of the United States and Europe—the latter as part of the [[Deconstruction Tour]]—"[[All That's Left]]" was released as the [[lead single]] from ''The Artist in the Ambulance''. Thrice briefly appeared  on [[Warped Tour]] before the track "Under a Killing Moon" was released on a [[Split album|split]] [[Phonograph record|seven-inch vinyl]] single with a track by [[Thursday (band)|Thursday]]. Thrice appeared at the [[Reading and Leeds Festivals]] in the United Kingdom before embarking on a European tour supporting co-headliners [[Rancid (band)|Rancid]] and [[Alkaline Trio]]. Thrice closed 2003 with another UK tour, and a US tour with Thursday and [[Coheed and Cambria]]. Thrice also toured Japan, Australia and Europe in 2004, leading into US tours; one with [[Poison the Well (band)|Poison the Well]] and [[Darkest Hour (band)|Darkest Hour]], and one supporting [[Dashboard Confessional]] on the [[Honda Civic Tour]].

''The Artist in the Ambulance'' received generally positive reviews from [[Music journalism|music critics]], many of whom highlighted Thrice's musicianship and the quality of the songwriting. The album peaked at number 16 on the ''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'' [[Billboard 200|200]] chart, becoming Thrice's first entry on that chart. It topped the [[Top Internet Albums]] chart, and peaked at number 109 on the main [[UK Albums Chart]] and at number nine on the [[UK Rock & Metal Singles and Albums Charts|UK Rock Albums Charts]]. "All That's Left" appeared on three ''Billboard'' component charts; its highest peak was number 24 on the [[Alternative Airplay]] chart, on which "Stare at the Sun" reached number 39. A re-recorded version, featuring various guest vocalists, appeared in 2023.

==Background==
In June 2000, Thrice released their debut album ''[[Identity Crisis (Thrice album)|Identity Crisis]]'' through independent label Greenflag Records.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.thrice.net:80/BIOGRAPHY.HTM|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20010216120020/http://www.thrice.net/BIOGRAPHY.HTM|title=Biography|archive-date=February 16, 2001|publisher=[[Thrice]]|access-date=April 10, 2018|url-status=dead))</ref> Sometime afterwards, Louis Posen of [[Sub City Records]] took an interest in Thrice and re-issued the album. The band's second album, the [[Brian McTernan]]-produced ''[[The Illusion of Safety (Thrice album)|The Illusion of Safety]]'', followed in February 2002.((sfn|Sharpe-Young|2005|p=329)) Prior to this, [[Island Records]]' [[Artists and repertoire|A&R]] member Robert Stevenson became interested in Thrice and saw them perform at Chain Reaction, a venue in California.((sfn|Ozzi|2021|loc=event occurs at 4:47–5:00)) The members of Thrice liked Stevenson's appreciation of the [[punk rock]] scene; he had grown up listening to [[New York hardcore]] bands and had previously signed [[Rival Schools (band)|Rival Schools]].((sfn|Ozzi|2021|loc=event occurs at 7:55–8:12)) Thrice came to the attention of [[major label]]s such as [[Capitol Records|Capitol]], [[Columbia Records|Columbia]] and [[MCA Records]].((sfn|Ozzi|2021|loc=event occurs at 6:27–31)) Thrice toured with [[Anti-Flag]]; before or after every show on the tour, Thrice had a meeting with a representative of one of those labels.<ref>((cite web|url=https://www.punknews.org/article/2647/thrice-record-release-show-tour-plans|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180424154605/https://www.punknews.org/article/2647/thrice-record-release-show-tour-plans|title=Thrice Record Release Show/Tour Plans|publisher=Punknews.org|author=Heisel, Scott|date=January 23, 2002|archive-date=April 24, 2018|access-date=April 24, 2018))</ref>((sfn|Ozzi|2021|loc=event occurs at 6:47–53, 7:10–6)) Around this time, the band was also being courted by music producer [[Rick Rubin]].((sfn|Anon.|2003|p=10))

Thrice's manager Nick Bogardus spent time at [[Time Bomb Recordings]], which helped him make contact with [[Epic Records]] A&R member Pete Giberga.((sfn|Ozzi|2021|loc=event occurs at 9:05–24)) Giberga, who also enjoyed New York hardcore, said while Epic had no interest in signing Thrice, he advised Bogardus and the band which A&R people were worth talking to.((sfn|Ozzi|2021|loc=event occurs at 9:26–51)) In June 2002, Thrice signed to Island Records<ref name=AMbio>((cite web|url=https://www.allmusic.com/artist/thrice-mn0000494038/biography|title=Thrice ((!))

==Recording==
Thrice were adamant about working with McTernan again, whom they had enjoyed working with on ''The Illusion of Safety''.((sfn|Ozzi|2021|loc=event occurs at 24:23–38)) ''The Artist in the Ambulance'' marked the first time McTernan worked on a major label release, which Eddie Breckenridge said made it "really stressful" for him.<ref name=PIinterview/> Drummer [[Riley Breckenridge]] said the band did not have much time to write new material after ''The Illusion of Safety'' because they were constantly on tour.((sfn|Ozzi|2021|loc=event occurs at 26:33–47)) They were under pressure to write new songs, having only brief ideas by this point, and were given two months to write material for their upcoming major-label debut.((sfn|Ozzi|2021|loc=event occurs at 26:52–27:09)) McTernan visited the band at [[Self storage|lock-outs]] in southern California for pre-production work on material.((sfn|Ozzi|2021|loc=event occurs at 27:09–19)) Thrice wanted to expand their musical palette but were unable to experiment due to the rushed nature of the process, since they were on tour constantly and did not have enough time to write.<ref name=PIinterview>((cite web|url=http://www.punk-it.net/Interviews/thrice.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20051227070402/http://www.punk-it.net/Interviews/thrice.html|title=Thrice|publisher=Punk-It|date=March 19, 2004|archive-date=December 27, 2005|access-date=August 7, 2022))</ref> ((sfn|Ozzi|2021|loc=event occurs at 27:19–31)) For two weeks, drums were recorded at [[Bearsville Studios]] in [[Bearsville, New York]], with engineer [[Michael Barbiero]] and [[Pro Tools]] operator [[Matt Squire]]; Bill Synan assisted the pair.<ref name=TAITAbooklet/>((sfn|Ozzi|2021|loc=event occurs at 25:22–4))

Breckenridge said they felt pressured by their fans to keep the same sound as their previous album, as they were worried about alienating their listeners, which stopped them from expanding their sound.<ref name=PIinterview/> He mentioned that the biggest chance they made was writing songs around vocal melodies, instead of amalgamating various guitar parts and adding vocals over the top, which allowed them to switch between the mellow and heavy sections much easier.<ref name=RRMinterview>((cite web|url=http://www.recroommagazine.com/interviews/thrice.htm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050212204416/http://www.recroommagazine.com/interviews/thrice.htm|title=Thrice|publisher=Rec Room Magazine|author=Cavallo, Debbie|author2=Zietz, Jessica|date=June 24, 2003|archive-date=February 12, 2005|access-date=April 16, 2023))</ref> The album's title was taken from a short story in an issue of ''[[Burn Collector]]'' by Al Burian of [[Milemarker (band)|Milemarker]]; Kensrue said it "basically [asks] the question, 'Do we, as artists, have the responsibility to do something more than&nbsp;... entertain?'((sp))"<ref name=EZinterview>((cite web|url=http://euphoniczine.com/viewinterview.php?iid=35|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060527133051/http://euphoniczine.com/viewinterview.php?iid=35|title=Interviews: Thrice|publisher=Euphonic Zine|author=Larson, Michele|date=April 28, 2003|archive-date=May 27, 2006|access-date=July 30, 2022))</ref><ref name=MTVeducate>((cite web|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/1476930/thrice-educate-give-fans-all-thats-left-with-major-label-debut/|title=Thrice Educate, Give Fans 'All That's Left' With Major-Label Debut|publisher=[[MTV]]|author=Wiederhorn, Jon|date=August 14, 2003|access-date=April 10, 2018|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180410231907/http://www.mtv.com/news/1476930/thrice-educate-give-fans-all-thats-left-with-major-label-debut/|archive-date=April 10, 2018))</ref> Riley Breckenridge said they were reading McTernan's copy of it during their spare time in the midst of ''The Illusion of Safety'' sessions.<ref name=EZinterview/>

===Tracks===
''The Artist in the Ambulance'' opens with "Cold Cash and Colder Hearts", an aggressive track that showcases Teranishi's guitarwork and Kensrue's vocals.<ref name=PMreview/> It is the result of blending two songs together; Teranishi said the "spooky" section, which refers to the part with strings and [[palm mute|palm-muted guitars]], was initially played on a guitar that was enhanced with an auto-volume [[Delay (audio effect)|delay pedal]]. They switched it to a heavier version that was reminiscent of the work of [[Isis (band)|Isis]], before settling on the final version. McTernan sauid Barnett's string section "really took it over the top" with the instruments doubling the sound of the palm mutes. Eddie Breckenridge originally wrote the track's [[Quintuple meter|5/4]] section as part of an aborted 10-minute track. Thrice unsuccessfully attempted to put the section in every track before leaving it in "Cold Cash and Colder Hearts".<ref>((cite AV media notes|title="Cold Cash and Colder Hearts"|people=Thrice|year=2003|type=art card|publisher=Island Records|id=B0000295-02 NS01))</ref>

"Under a Killing Moon" switches between older forms of metal and [[hard rock]].<ref name=IGNreview/> The band wanted another heavy track; Teranishi wrote the verses' guitar riff during a practice session. The song's ending guitar riff is slower in tempo because it had been played to a slow beat from Riley Breckenridge, and was later sped up and incorporated into the track. Both riffs were influenced by the sound of [[Killswitch Engage]], to whose work Teranishi was listening on the days he wrote the parts. The lyrics initially worked well with melodic [[chord progression]]s but did not work when the band worked on the song during a practice session. Kensrue then decided to [[Screaming (music)#Hardcore and punk rock|scream]] the words, which he felt worked better with the final song.<ref name=UAKMcard>((cite AV media notes|title="Under a Killing Moon"|people=Thrice|year=2003|type=art card|publisher=Island Records|id=B0000295-02 NS02))</ref> "All That's Left" is the result of the band's desire to experiment with more-traditional song structures with ''The Artist in the Ambulance''; its chorus section bordered on [[space rock|space-esque]] [[progressive rock]] before being reworked.<ref name=ATLcard>((cite AV media notes|title="All That's Left"|people=Thrice|year=2003|type=art card|publisher=Island Records|id=B0000295-02 NS03))</ref> Kensrue rewrote the song's lyrics around eight times and said the final version talks about the "strength we have in our youth and the things we trade for that".<ref name=ATLcard/><ref name=MTVeducate/>

"Silhouette" includes a section Kensrue wrote in [[Time signature|7/7 time]], which Eddie Breckenridge attempted to emulate. His part was in 13/8 and had to be re-edited to keep it in time with Kensrue's part, facilitating the addition of extra notes. Its lyrics originate from the band's first tour; Kensrue sent them to his girlfriend on the back of a postcard. He wrote them on a painting he made for her, and later reworked them into "Silhouette".<ref>((cite AV media notes|title="Silhouette"|people=Thrice|year=2003|type=art card|publisher=Island Records|id=B0000295-02 NS04))</ref> The bassline of "Stare at the Sun" was initially written in a [[Mathcore|mathy, chaotic metal]] style that Teranishi tried to merge with "The Abolition of Man" before spinning it off into a new track. The drums were originally played in 4/4 time at 5/7 [[Interval (music)|interval]]s before being simplified to allow Kensrue to sing over them. As a result of this, the bridge section had to be scrapped and a new one written.<ref>((cite AV media notes|title="Stare at the Sun"|people=Thrice|year=2003|type=art card|publisher=Island Records|id=B0000295-02 NS05))</ref> The beginning of "Paper Tigers" came from jamming sessions that occurred between Eddie and Riley Breckenridge following practice sessions. In its original form, the song was a [[Heavy metal music|metal]] and [[hardcore punk]] track, which was then merged with another part that became its final-chorus section. Kensrue wrote the lyrics for a piano song that was later scrapped, and added them to "Paper Tigers" towards the end of recording.<ref>((cite AV media notes|title="Paper Tigers"|people=Thrice|year=2003|type=art card|publisher=Island Records|id=B0000295-02 NS06))</ref> "Hoods on Peregrine" is a combination of a guitar riff Kensrue wrote during practice, a 1970s-like bass part from Eddie Breckenridge, and a guitar riff Kensrue wrote during one of the coldest nights he had experienced in [[Omaha, Nebraska]]. Discussing the lyrics, Kensrue said when writing ''The Artist in the Ambulance'', the "media was out of control.

''The Artist in the Ambulance'' received generally positive reviews from music critics. [[AllMusic]] reviewer Johnny Loftus complimented McTernan for "tighten[ing] the seams that hold together Thrice's patchwork print of post-hardcore bellow, emotional bluster, and unabashed metal wankery"; he called it the band's strongest work to date.<ref name=AMreview/> Nick Madsen of [[IGN]] said the band's tendency to "lean more towards the melodic" gave them "much more focused songs". He considered ''The Artist in the Ambulance'' the "perfect evolution of Thrice's past material" because the "direction of the music and the delivery of the actual songs have improved three-fold".<ref name=IGNreview/> Sputnikmusic writer Damrod was surprised "anew by the nice basslines" as well as the use of "octaves, ((sic|unvonventional)) patterns, [and] excellent fills". He summarised it by saying the band's "musicianship is on a high level, the instrumental use as well as the lyrics".<ref name=Sputnikreview/> ''[[Melodic (magazine)|Melodic]]'' webmaster Johan Wippsson wrote the band provided "a bunch of great songs that just smashes you in the face with power and raw energy".<ref name=Melodicreview/>

Jasamine White-Gluz of ''[[Exclaim!]]'' similarly said Thrice "sounds better than ever", managing to "hang on to their signature melody-based songwriting".<ref name=Exclaimreview>((cite web|url=https://exclaim.ca/music/article/thrice-artist_in_ambulance|title=Thrice The Artist in the Ambulance|work=[[Exclaim!]]|author=White-Gluz, Jasamine|date=August 1, 2003|access-date=April 9, 2018|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180409160218/https://exclaim.ca/music/article/thrice-artist_in_ambulance|archive-date=April 9, 2018))</ref> ''[[PopMatters]]'' contributor Christine Klunk found it to be "more than just three chords, lots of guttural screaming, and heavy-handed drumming" because it offers "12 surprisingly varied tracks".<ref name=PMreview>((cite web|url=https://www.popmatters.com/thrice-artist-2496100336.html|title=Thrice: The Artist in the Ambulance|work=[[PopMatters]]|author=Klunk, Christine|date=January 20, 2004|access-date=April 11, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171229113727/https://www.popmatters.com/thrice-artist-2496100336.html|archive-date=December 29, 2017|url-status=live))</ref> Jens Brüggemann writing for [[laut.de]] stated the tempo shifts in the "individual tracks ensure liveliness" with melodies that showcase the album's complex nature.<ref name=Lautreview/> ''[[CMJ New Music Report]]''(('s)) Amy Sciarretto wrote the band sound like a mix of Face to Face, Metallica and Thursday "somehow manag[ing] to pull the feat off—without resulting in an unlistenable mess of music".((sfn|Sciarretto|2003|p=24)) ''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'' reviewer Bram Teitelman expressed a similar opinion, saying the album "at times sounds like Iron Maiden, Bad Religion and Rush jamming (which sounds a lot better on disc than it looks on paper)".((sfn|Teitelman|2003|p=35)) ''[[Belfast Telegraph]]'' writer Neil McKay remarked that the band "ticks all the right boxes for energy and noise, [but] it's too generic to be memorable".<ref>((cite web|url=https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/cd-review-tim-nice-not-dim/28163751.html|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20230201145214/https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/cd-review-tim-nice-not-dim/28163751.html|title=CD review: Tim nice not dim|work=[[Belfast Telegraph]]|author=McKay, Neil|date=September 7, 2003|archivedate=February 1, 2023|accessdate=February 4, 2023))</ref> John Wiederhorn of ''[[Blender (magazine)|Blender]]'' wrote; "[s]omehow, all these stylistic variations don’t disrupt the music’s flow, which rocks as hard as it aches".<ref name=Blenderreview/> ''[[Rolling Stone]]'' writer Marie Elsie St. Leger said while the rest of the band "ably create a close facsimile of existential rage", Kensrue's words, which are "sharp, sometime political&nbsp;... and even allegorical", typically get "lost in the screams".<ref name=RSreview/>

===2023 re-recording===
On February 1, 2023, Thrice released ''The Artist in the Ambulance - Revisited'', a [[re-recording (music)|re-recording]] of the original tracklist, to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the album and promote its anniversary tour.<ref name="mi_revisited_released"/> When discussing the recording with [[Spin Magazine]], Kensrue said the band felt the original was "stiff" and wanted the re-recording to include the energy present in live performances.<ref name="spin_interview_revisited">((cite web|url=https://www.spin.com/2023/02/thrice-ambulance-revisited-20th-anniversary/|title=Thrice's Dustin Kensrue On The Re-Recorded 20th Anniversary Version Of The Artist In The Ambulance|first=Josh|last=Chesler|date=February 1, 2023|accessdate=February 2, 2023|work=[[Spin (magazine)|Spin]]))</ref> For a time, the band considered releasing a [[remix]]es album, but ultimately decided against it as they did not wish to change the music too drastically. Instead, their goal was to be "subtle" and find a middle ground between changing very little, and making it effectively unrecognisable. Kensrue said it was unlikely that the band would produce another re-recording after this, saying the material in ''The Artist in the Ambulance'' has "specific things going on with it that make sense for this project".<ref name="spin_interview_revisited"/>

The album features guest vocals from Ryan Osterman of [[Holy Fawn]], [[Chuck Ragan]] of [[Hot Water Music]], Sam Carter of [[Architects (British band)|Architects]], Mike Minnick of [[Curl Up and Die]], [[Brian McTernan]] of [[Be Well]], and [[Andy Hull]] of [[Manchester Orchestra]].<ref name="mi_revisited_released">((cite web|url=https://metalinjection.net/tour-dates/thrice-streams-new-version-of-the-artist-in-the-ambulance-anniversary-tour|title=THRICE Streams New Version Of The Artist In The Ambulance & Anniversary Tour|first=Greg|last=Kennelty|date=February 1, 2023|accessdate=February 2, 2023|work=Metal Injection))</ref>
