<\/center>To tell the truth, I didn’t actually find Air<\/span> and Earth<\/span> by accident. I knew it was there. But man, I am SO pumped! I’m sure you all remember back in December when I found Fire<\/span> and Water<\/span>, exactly how excited I was that there was a new Thrice album. Even more exciting than that was the fact that a follow-up would be released not too long after. And now I’ve got all four volumes, and it’s awesome.<\/p>\nLike Fire<\/span> and Water<\/span>, Air<\/span> and Earth<\/span> are both very distinct albums, even though they’re both only six songs apiece. Air<\/span> is kinda floaty sounding, with a lot of chimes and windy effects. It picks up and slows down like a gentle breeze, and does a pretty good job of getting the concept of air through in the form of song. Earth<\/span> is really a whole essay into itself. It’s totally different from everything, and has a very simplistic feel. Most (if not all) of the guitars are acousitc, it was recorded in an empty living room, and it gives off a very folksy vibe all around. It certainly sounds a lot more experimental than any of the other volumes, and I think that as far as anyone’s concerned, it does have an earthy, or at least natural, sound to it.<\/p>\n At the end of the day, Thrice’s The Alchemy Index<\/span> is a magnificent concept album. Divided into four, each part stands on its own as a wholly original piece of work, and together they display just how diverse and talented Thrice is. I love it, and urge you to go pick up both parts as soon as you possibly can. This is the height of musical creativity and skill here, so it’s not something to be missed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Huge news, all.
