This is absolutely incredible

Sounds more like Thrice than TDH though

I don't really think it sounds like either. The only comparison I see with Thrice is that every so often the vocals kind of sounds like Dustin's voice.



I really like this, but I think I like Disillusion a little more.

Oh, cmon this has loads of Thrice-esque moments (the "woah" bit in Lo, the first climax of Lay Down, Machines 1, several parts of Cleanse Me)

That said, it is very distinctive and never sounds like it is actively borrowing -only resembling

I'm a big fan of Thrice, and was told to check these guys out because they were similar. I just didn't (and still don't) hear it, I guess. Whether they do resemble Thrice or not, these guys definitely have their own sound, and I really like their music.



I just really started listening to them last month, though, so maybe I will hear it after some more spins.

I heard it pretty quickly, so idk if you will

It doesn't matter though - what is important is that this is possibly my favourite album of the decade so far

Easy Talk is so great. I always think I'm gonna get sick of that repeated vocal line, but it never gets old.

They sounded a bit like Thrice to me at first, but I noticed their uniqueness after a while. Although they do have some things in common with The Alchemy Index, mainly their guitar tuning and extreme fuzz.

I think these guys sound ridiculously similar to Thrice, particularly the Fire Index.

They got away from them with Disillusion

Disillusion certainly went in a different direction. Death of Day was pretty unique as well. I really want them to revisit that kind of material.

They toured with Thrice for a while prior to this album dropping, I believe, so that only further cements the influence in my mind. I'm not a fan of Death of Day or Disillusion though

Lay Down is literally one of the most perfect songs ever recorded

I really like Disillusion, but I think I might even be starting to like this more. I've been listening to it in my car for the last week or so and it clicked way better than it did with my initial listens.

What a grower. I love when an album has variety like this.



Sputnik and Easy Talk, and Lo of course
