THIS is the way post hardcore is supposed to sound in 2017."As You Please" offers catchy and yet emotionally thrilling songs from front to back. Surely their best album yet and also AOTY so far.

Thrice The Alchemy Index Vol. I: Fire
Thrice To Be Everywhere Is to Be Nowhere
Thrice return with a very high quality comeback. The Opener "Hurricane" already feels like one of the best songs they have ever written. The main riff makes it almost impossible to define whether it sounds cheerful or melancholic, provoking a rollercoaster-ride of emotions. Overall the album is more accessible than previous releases of the band, delivering catchy choruses like in "Death From Above" or "Whistleblower" without neglecting to create a dense atmosphere.

Not very innovative, but an extremely catchy and consistent album. There are only 2-3 tracks ("Butterfly Dream" in particular) that are not able to keep up with the rest. The final minute of "Nightlight Girl" is outstanding!

Most of this album sounds like LF/LT Part 2 or rather like b-sides to it.Looking at the vocal melodies, the only songs that reach the quality of LF/LT are "Gravity" and "From The Wilderness".

The most ambiguous album I have ever listened to-How can somebody put amazing and atmospheric songs like "Midnight" or even "Always In My Head" next to bland, uninspired and generic pop songs like "True Love" or "A Sky Full of Stars"?!r

This is a pretty solid album. Unfortunately this band lacks the passion bands like Brand New or Thrice have.
Minus the Bear Omni
Minus the Bear VOIDS
During my first listen it took until track 6 "Silver", when i realised that i had been drifting away in thoughts. Most of the songs before are pretty generic radio rock songs that could easily fit on "OMNI".The second good track is the closer "Lighthouse". Even though it does not reach the songwriting quality of "Planet of Ice", it is an interesting listen and has a typical MTB flair. Unfortunatelly, there are no more mentionable tracks on "VOIDS". Overall this could be the low point of their career. 2.8/5

This is not as good as i hoped it to be. Tracks 4-7 are rather Circa Survive than Saosin tracks imo. If the guitar play doesn't reach the level of songs like "Illusion and Control" or "Drinking from the Fountain" there is only this awesome drummer left to save them. As much as i like Green, i fear his songwriting is getting worse, also looking at the latest Circa albums.
