\"\"Rating:<\/strong> \"★\"\"★\"\"★\"\"★\"\"★\"\"★\"\"★\"\"½\"\"☆\"\"☆\"The Thermals became one of my all time favorites after Fuckin A came out. \u00a0Two albums later they are even higher on my list and have yet to disappoint. \u00a0 Each album has a different feel and there seems to be less punk in their rock with each album, but they are all awesome. \u00a0The new one “Now We Can See” is easily their poppiest and cleanest to date. \u00a0I was skeptical at first, but hearing it live and listening to the record over and over has sold me on it. \u00a0I’m not going to give this album a perfect rating. \u00a0I don’t think any of their albums have been a perfect 10, here’s my minor complaints about this one:* The album doesn’t start as strong as all other Thermals albums. \u00a0‘When I Died’ seems like they forcefully toned it down. \u00a0Still a great song, but it’s lacking that Thermals album opener overdrive. \u00a0* The high pitched parts of “We Were Sick” are a little tough on the ears sometimes. \u00a0I’m all for Kathy helping on the vocals, but parts of that song don’t work so well. \u00a0Luckily the “We were high, we were alive, we were sick” makes up for it. \u00a0* \u00a0The order of the songs could be better. \u00a0“At The Bottom Of The Sea” could be a great ender. \u00a0Not sure, but listening to the record sounds better sometimes starting at side 2 which starts with “When We Were Alive”. \u00a0That being said don’t think for a second I don’t love this album. \u00a0There are some epic Thermals songs on here. \u00a0“I Let It Go”, “Now We Can See”, “At The Bottom Of The Sea”, “When We Were Alive”, “I Called Out Your Name”, “When I Was Afraid”, and “You Dissolve” are all amazing to me. \u00a0I think their song writing and structuring has improved on this album and Hutch seems to deliver the lyrics as good as ever. \u00a0I give this album an ‘A-‘. \u00a0Kudos Thermals, your one of my favorites.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
