As I said before, I love how much Thrice has progressed since their earlier releases and I think the entire Alchemy Index series of EP's is a must have. Each disk is individual and seems to portray the very elements they are named after. The Air Album is calm, soothing, and emotional. It is very atmospheric and just like the wind: sometimes the breeze is subtle and light, other times it's roaring and powerful, lifting up things and sweeping them away. The sound effects and wind chimes definitely add to the "air" feeling of this release. As for the Earth Album, Thrice went in a very interesting direction with this one. The music is heavily influenced by folk and country (similar to Dustin Kenrue's solo stuff) and the recordings are raw, which is an excellent musical portrayal of the earth... very practical and old-fashioned. All four disks of the Alchemy Index are amazing and diverse and I recommend them to all "open minded" music listeners. I even suggest actually buying them--just the album booklet layout and artwork itself is worth buying it for.
About Rising Phoenix Music
Welcome to Rising Phoenix Music, a blog that's not so one-sided and biased, but has a variety of music that could suit the different tastes of others. I post and review heavy, brutal, loud, soft, relaxing, chill, and experimental music, so look through my archives, we might just have what you're looking for. I made this blog for the sake of these artists--new and old--to share my opinion on their music, and to tell you why I like it and why you might like it too! The artists and albums I post here all deserve to be known, praised, and remembered. I simply want to promote a vast variety of good music and to help out the bands and artists that deserve your attention, not piracy and stealing to deprive these bands of their income. I also believe that you cannot fully judge a band or musician until you have heard most of their material completely, which is why the albums are up for download. I urge you to buy the albums, buy their merchandise, go see them live (if they're still together) and support them!
