The first complete retrospective of the band. This DVD contains live concert footage, behind-the-scenes access to the band and their fans, never-before-seen material, and music spanning the band’s career from their earliest day’s right up to their tour with Dashboard Confessional. Each DVD comes with a CD* containing rare and unreleased live, acoustic and alternate takes. Long time Thrice fans will get to relive the band’s earliest moments and triumphs, and new fans will get to see how it all started.
Throughout their journey, the band has had their cameras at hand. Watching shows they’d recorded themselves was cool, but watching shows their fans sent them was cooler.
The tape collection grew as the memories were passed down, and when Thrice got home in August '04, after a year and a half of touring to support their Island Records debut, they decided to share the story of their lives. The result is the chronicle of a band, from high school friends to international rockers. Thrice took pride in laying their story down on tape: personally selecting the film excerpts, conducting interviews to fill in gaps for the viewer.

It was released by Island Records. The album was released in two separate versions, including a limited edition version containing a booklet detailing the creation process of each track.
The album is characterised by many critics as being experimentally different, using non-traditional Thrice elements in the process. From keyboard melodies ("For Miles") to Japanese music-box undertones ("Music Box") to chain gang chant choruses ("The Earth Will Shake"), Vheissu introduces a new sound to the band's post-hardcore roots. U.K. producer Steve Osborne, whose past credits include many Brit-pop hits, was sought by Thrice to gain a new perspective on the songwriting process, enabling the band to expand their musical influences and produce a different album.
The title of the album itself, Vheissu, comes from Thomas Pynchon's novel V.. Lead singer Dustin Kensrue read the book and introduced the other band members to it, eventually using it as a central theme of the album.
Prior to the album release date, a four-part series of podcasts discussing the making of the album was released by the band, giving previews of each track and how it was recorded.

Their first on a major label, Island Records. As with The Illusion of Safety, a portion of the sales of this CD were donated to a charitable cause. In this case, it was the Syrentha J. Savio Endowment. This foundation provides chemotherapy and other medication for those who cannot afford it.
The album's release date packaging features individual cards that have lyrics, liner notes, an industrial-style photograph, and comments from the band members and the producer.
The song "The Artist in the Ambulance" was inspired by a vignette in Al Burian's collection of zine printings, Burn Collector. The song analyzes the useful role of an artist in society by contrasting it to that of an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT). The distinction is that the EMT literally and physically picks one off the ground whereas the artist can only figuratively and emotionally pick somebody up off the ground. (the lyrics "now i lay here owing my life to a stranger, and I realize that empty words are not enough" referencing the EMT's job, whereas the chorus lyrics "I hope that I will never let you down/I know that this can be more than just flashing lights and sound" reference the artist's strength, however technically immaterial)
