This album is the beggining of Thrice's saga, bringing punk and post-hardcore elements to the table, never leaving a dull moment and keeping the momentum going throughout. It was refreshing to know that Riley had improved the drum patterns and added more dynamics from his monotonous beats in Identity Crisis. Teppei and Dustin work hand in hand in creating a unified front of melodic and hardcore tunes that wants the listener to pick up the guitar and start cracking every song. A great start for a band that has accomplished so much on a musical level.4.5 superbblink-182 Blink-182Coheed and Cambria From Fear Through the Eyes of MadnessFuneral for a Friend Casually Dressed & Deep in ConversationEvery beggining hardcore rocker should have this album in his ipod or shelf or computer - it is the ground-level music that everybody has to hear to be inspired as a musician.Hoobastank HoobastankIncubus (USA-CA) A Crow Left of the Murder...Lifehouse No Name FaceLinkin Park Hybrid TheoryLostprophets The Fake Sound Of ProgressNirvana NevermindPapa Roach InfestThrice The Artist in the AmbulanceIt's an album that defines modern punk rock; it includes post hardcore power living harmonously with catchy punk tunes that is both deep in subject matter and in music theory.Thrice VheissuLooking at it retrospectively, I beleive Thrice's Vheissu is THE TRUE Alchemy Index, in that it ecompasses all of the elements with post-hardcore elements. In my opinion, this is the best and I mean THE BEST post-hardcore album that I have ever listened to. Dustin's awe-inspiring and powerful vocals and screams echo command the album with deep subject matter - he has always inspired me to write beautiful lyrics - nothing less than a poet himself. Teppei's thundering riffs especiall on For Miles and Of Dust and Nations sends chills to the ear and at times becomes haunting. Isis would be proud to have a band like Thrice playing at their side. The subtle end of the album drives the album towards new grounds: Red Sky and Atlantic reach out to all corners of music theory - especially in their many jumps from diffenent keys. I could go on all day about this album, so as a final word - I can't see how Thrice can top off Vheissu eventhough the Alchemy Index has done considerably well in its concept.4.0 excellentAlien Ant Farm ANThologyblink-182 Take Off Your Pants And JacketCoheed and Cambria In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3Finch What It Is to BurnFinch Say Hello to SunshineFuneral for a Friend HoursHours has many inspirational and technical guitar riffs - one of the best dynamic guitar riffs in any album of recent date. Guitarists should listen to this album for mind melting licking - plus the song writing is solid and gives you something to sing along to.Funeral for a Friend Memory and HumanityFans of the classic Casually Dressed and Deep In Conversation should realise that the band bas moved far from their technical post-hardcore time into more straight-up and solid crafting of songs. This time around they have paid close attention to guitar and vocal dynamics which derive into catchy but memorable tunes. Memory and Humanity is a 13-track collection of good song writing that have a constant pace throughout the album; all of the tracks represent a consistent sound and all steer towards one direction.Hopesfall The Satellite YearsIncubus (USA-CA) Make YourselfIncubus (USA-CA) The Morning View SessionsLimp Bizkit Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored WaterRed Hot Chili Peppers CalifornicationSlipknot Vol. 3: The Subliminal VersesSlipknot IowaSum 41 Does This Look Infected?Taking Back Sunday Where You Want To BeThe Fall of Troy DoppelgangerThe Used The UsedThrice The Alchemy Index Vols. III & IVThe third and fourth volume of the Alcehmy Index saga rests on a more humble level from their 1st and 2nd volume. Earth and Air are personified to almost perfection. I beleive Thrice has tired what no other band could ever dream about it - they have stripped down every boundary and started afresh with a project that has limitless creative outcomes. It surely is an epic although many listeners would be impatient to listen through the entire slow-paced album. "Dadelus" and "Silver Wings" soar through the clouds on the Air disc. "Come all you weary" and "Child of Dust" lays the organic groundwork of the Earth disc. I am thouroughly impressed with the sonnets of all of the 4 discs and beleive there is something to learn from them - an outstanding compliation of a concept album.Thursday Full CollapseUnderoath They're Only Chasing Safety3.5 greatAt the Drive-In Relationship of CommandCirca Survive JuturnaDashboard Confessional A Mark, A Mission, A Brand, A ScarDead Poetic New MedicinesFall Out Boy From Under the Cork TreeFrom First to Last Dear Diary, My Teen Angst Has a Body CountGlassjaw Worship and TributeHoobastank The ReasonIncubus (USA-CA) Light GrenadesLinkin Park MeteoraLostprophets Start SomethingMotion City Soundtrack Commit This to MemoryPapa Roach lovehatetragedyRed Hot Chili Peppers By the WaySaosin Translating the NameSlipknot SlipknotSystem of a Down ToxicityThe Sound of Animals Fighting The Ocean and the SunThrice The Alchemy Index Vols. I & IIThe first half of a highly anticipated concept project linking the four elements of the universe into 4 discs leaves no dissapointments. Fire and Water perfectly compliment each other so perfectly that it doesnt lack any elements (no pun intended) - it has both sides of hardcore and electronic soothing music to keep you interested throughout. Fire rages in with power and hardly ceases to stop - the music really serves the element for what it truly is: an unstoppable destructive raging force. Although a couple of tracks of the water disc could have been produced better, water dowses the first half into a soothing digital stream of sweet music that ends with a strong note.Thursday A City By the Light Divided3.0 goodCoheed and Cambria No World for TomorrowFuneral for a Friend Tales Don't Tell ThemselvesA decent and respectable shot at a concept album with solid song writing. The high note of the album is that its all interrleated as a single storyline that makes the listener envision an epic journey through the adventures from the deep ocean. However it fails to generate any climax and never gets any momentum from the pop/indy melodies.
