Free Music Notes for The Alchemy Index, Vol. 1 & 2
Free Music Review: Absolutely Perfect
Hit: 5 Stars
Wow. Both of the Alchemy Index releases are absolutely perfect in my opinion. I don't know how to even describe what I am hearing to somebody who hasn't heard them before...hmm. They are definitely astray from the Artist album and more in the vein of Vheissu. The songs are so varied that I don't even think it is fair to compare it to anything they have done in the past. All I can say is that I think they have captured each of what these elements would sound like...if that makes any sense. It's really brilliant concept though. I really and hooked on both releases and listen to them every day at work. I am hooked. Both the lyrics and musicianship on these albums is top notch. It is hard for me to pick out a favorite track on this album. Firebreather and Burn The Fleet stand out but you really have to experience these disks from first song to last. I love how hypnotic the water section is. All and all you can't go wrong with this disk or the 2nd installation of the Alchemy Index. They both are incredible. It's been a while since I have bought an album that I can't stop listening to. I am already looking forward to a new album. You never know what to expect from these guys.
The Alchemy Index, Vol. 1 & 2 Poster
This fall marks the release of the first two volumes of the series--Fire & Water--while Earth & Air are scheduled for a spring debut. For Thrice, it's the realization of a year-long process of writing and recording, which was done primarily in the band's own studio and engineered by guitarist Teppei Teranishi, without the assistance of an outside producer.Thrice fans will likely find the thundering strains of Fire to be the most familiar of the four EPs, with the kind of blistering riffs and captivating melodies the band has built a career upon. From the opening bombast of "Firebreather" to the towering, unforgettable "Burn the Fleet," with its Elliot Smith meets Isis vibe, Fire exhibits a Thrice who still know how to punish with decibels, and with greater force and impact than ever before.
Water, on the other hand, offers some of the most subdued textures the band have explored to date, and makes extensive use of a palette of electronic sounds, particularly for rhythms and synthesized effects. Haunting and beautiful, Water is an aural aquatic voyage as serene as it is somber, with the shimmering bliss of "Open Water" naturally coexisting with the dark, moody "The Whaler" and the groundbreaking and evocative instrumental track, "Night Diving."
2007 release of a the first two volumes comprised of four EP's by the post-hardcore California band. Each individual EP is themed by the classical elements of nature: 'Fire', Water' (both included in this set), 'Earth' and, 'Air'. The band show vast maturity with the progression in both their songwriting and recording technique. Vagrant
