The Thermals!

pbradley · 09.30.2008, 11:50 PM

I've been listening to The Body, The Blood, The Machine a lot recently. Which is strange since I'm usually not so into indie pop stuff but the whole Christian thing about the album has got me hook, line, and Catholic guilt.

And they have an album in the oven!

Anyways I just feel like talking about them.

atsonicpark · 09.30.2008, 11:55 PM

Only one I have is Fuckin A. I think it's pretty good. The vocals get annoying.

pbradley · 10.01.2008, 12:10 AM

The dude's vocals are something I eased into but I guess dig now.

atsonicpark · 10.01.2008, 12:15 AM

I really dig the music. Good songs. I just think the guy talks too much. Hah.

Good band.

pbradley · 10.01.2008, 12:21 AM

Talks? I haven't listen to that album or really any other album. He talks?

atsonicpark · 10.01.2008, 12:27 AM

Eh, I mean he never shuts up.

pbradley · 10.01.2008, 01:03 AM

That's true.

dionysusundone · 10.01.2008, 09:05 AM

I have that album, The Body, blah blah blah, got it when it came out, thought it was super generic. Haven't listened to it since, but I still have it. I'll have to dig it out and see what I think now.

floatingslowly · 10.01.2008, 10:24 AM

I "kinda" like them. it's catchy enough, but I guess I don't have the whole "catholic guilt" thing to make me much of a fanboi.

Here's Yr Future has that apocalyptic feel that I like most in music though. they ended a season of Weeds with it and I almost pooped myself because I liked it so much.

I'm going to listen to them now.

this one's for you, Jesus.

schizophrenicroom · 10.01.2008, 05:13 PM

they're the best power pop band out today. their videos are so fun!

Pax Americana · 10.02.2008, 06:06 PM

Love this band. Fuckin A is simply amazing.

chairman of the bored · 04.30.2009, 01:51 PM

they have a new album out, "now we can see". anyone else hear it? its a further move from the raw to the refined, but still has some great songs on it. also, some of their worst. see "liquid in,liquid out" anyways...the first 8 songs or so kick balls.

noisereductions · 04.30.2009, 02:15 PM

I was listening to samples of the new album last night. I just felt that the vocals made every song sound the same?

chairman of the bored · 04.30.2009, 02:18 PM

yeah...i guess you could say he pretty much sings in the same tone of voice for every song

and they're definitely not trying to have an expansive sound by any means...totally simple power-pop-punk stuff...riffs and talking, riffs and more talking

noisereductions · 04.30.2009, 02:20 PM

well it wasn't so much his voice, as much as the "talkiing" thing you mention. Like the vocal delivery made it monotonous to me.

Derek · 04.30.2009, 02:49 PM

My friend is into these guys and all I can say is that I can't stand them.

pbradley · 04.30.2009, 03:05 PM

The single from the new album is more of the same. Never thought of them as a "great" band by any means, just kind of fun but seems like the fun has all dried up. I could have predicated such when I first heard them.

Pax Americana · 04.30.2009, 05:28 PM

I've gotta check out their new album. I'm pissed cause they're playing here in a few days, but I've gotta work.
