This is the first part of Thrice's two part concept album Alchemy Index which has been completely produced and recorded by Thrice them selves. The disks were mostly recorded from there home studio by Teppei Teranishi the lead guitarist of thrice whilst Dustin as usual took the leading role in writing most of the material.
Now if you haven't heard about these albums the alchemy index is a concept album based on the four natural elements Water,Fire,Earth and Air. Each section of the album consists of 6 tracks comprising of:
Fire:
1. Fire Breather
2. The messenger
3. Backdraft
4.The Arsonist
5. Burn the fleet
6.The flame Deluge

Water:
1. Digital sea
2. Open water
3. Lost Continent
4. Night Diving
5. The Whaler
6. Kings upon the main

The other elements air and earth will be released on next part of the album.

Thrice have done a great job of reflecting the elements in this album with Fire being a heavy rock/metal album more like there usual writing style.
Whereas water has a more unusual ambient electronic sound to it.

Both sides wont let dedicated music listeners down thrice have really managed to build a huge sound into these tracks and which makes me enjoy them even more every time i listen its like you hear new parts and layers that you didn't hear before extremely well produced and is incredible to think that it was all done at home.
Tracks to really watch out for in my opinion are :
Firebreather
The Arsonist
Burn the Fleet
Digital sea
Open water
The whaler
Kings upon the main
i really enjoyed this entire album and is most defiantly not one you will play once and will then sit on your shelf for the next 5 years till you lob it in the bin you will want to listen to this album over and over and over and over you get my point so have a listen and see what you think for your self
