The Thermals More Parts per million
Sub Pop records
An impressive 13 titles but unfortunately a bit more variation is needed in order to make this a better release all round. There's nothing wrong with fast and loud amp breaking melodies yet a few “come down to go up again” moments wouldn't go a miss.
A lot of songs have the same feel to them in terms of vocal range and expression. Although, the material there, is great with a blend of well thought of words. Everything they have works together well in terms of originality. If you’re into 'The Libertines' this would appeal to your ear plugs, or even The Stones with a faster tempo.
