Album Reviews:: Thrice - The Alchemy Index Vols. 1 & 2

The new album is out and here are the first round of reviews.
4 out of 5 - The feat sounds almost ridiculous, but it works, amazingly it works. (AlbumProject)

Despite its flaws, the collection highlights the band's diverse talents to make for an interesting album that is sure to leave fans eager for the next installments. (UDReview)

Fire and Water have exhibited incredibly musical and artistic evolution- proving the band can indeed write ambitious material, while remaining immediate and effective. (SoundTheSirens)

The Alchemy Index: Volumes I & II: Fire & Water is without a doubt the band's best work since 2002's fan favorite The Illusion of Safety, a fact made all the more miraculous by how DIY the album was made. Thrice push their boundaries without overshooting their capabilities, and it's resulted in an impressive, fluid and accomplished effort that leaves behind all the disastrous potential of self-indulgence.
