There has been an awful lot of hype surrounding the eagerly awaited new album from Bring Me The Horizon. Ever since I first heard the new sound they were trying to capture I have been on board, making this album even more anticipated for me. It's fair to say that it didn't disappoint, resulting in That's The Spirit becoming the first album I have ever given a ten out of ten to!
Doomed kicks off the album giving the listener a slight taste of what it to follow in the next ten tracks before kicking the album off in full swing with Happy Song. This is followed by the tracks that we have already heard including Throne and True Friends.
In my eyes, the album is split into three different sections depending on the different tracks and what style they are in. Doomed to True Friends provide the first section before a calmer Follow You provides a brief respite for the listener. This is then followed with What You Need, Avalanche and Run which provide the next three tracks in this section. The second section is my favourite on the album because it has my two favourite tracks on the album - What You Need and Avalanche.
What You Need begins much calmer and softer in comparison to the chorus which is much more hard hitting to carry on the momentum of the opening tracks. The chorus consists of the raw sound with layers of guitars and drums to give it the full desired impact. This then carries on into the next track which is Avalanche.
Avalanche gets into full swing straight away, hooking the listener in straight away before slowing down slightly to allow Oli's vocal to be heard much better. However, the choruses are the only sections in which the track slows. Avalanche is also the track which has my favourite line of the album in; I need a cure for me 'cause the square doesn't fit the circle.
Another track I haven't mentioned that I particularly like is Blasphemy. Likewise to Avalanche, Blasphemy kicks in straight away, slows at the chorus and has lyrics that I particularly like.
To finalise, I think that That's The Spirit is a great step up from Sempiternal and will go down in Bring Me The Horizon history as one of their best albums.
