HELL YES!! Giving TDH the attention it deserves!

[@milosimon1519]

i recently re-listened to all five of the acts and my ranking is 5) Act II 4) Act IV (I love the story element and thought that act IV didn't deliver too much on that) 3) Act I 2) Act III (how the story comes together and the B-side is just amazing) 1) Act V (More of how the entire story is complete and incomplete at the same time and I love tracks such as mr usher, The flame/the fire, and the revival)

[@NotesReviews]

This was great fun! Looking forward to our next collaboration!

[@jmelara324]

Hey guys! I have a piece of info for ya! There’s something VERY similar to The Color Spectrum! Thrice had a project 10 years ago called The Alchemy Index. It was 4 EPs, each was an element, and each EP’s music corresponds with its element. Fire (essentially the Red EP) is really aggressive heavy rock music, Water (essentially the Blue EP) is synthy keyboardy pad stuff, Air sort of has attributes of all the EPs because Air as an element sort of touches upon everything, such AS Water, Earth, Fire. The Earth record (essentially the Green record) is basically all acoustic and has a folky tone going on for it, I’m pretty sure the song Come All You Weary is the only song with electric guitar and a drum set. Each EP actually shares certain sound with each other, and each one of the final songs of the EPs reprises a melody of a verse. I definitely recommend getting into The Alchemy Index, and getting into Thrice as well. They recently came back from a hiatus, which also came with a new record after. Hope you read this!

8. The Color Spectrum 7. All Is As All Should Be 6. Act I 5. Act II 4. Migrant 3. Act III 2. Act V 1. Act IV this is my ranking after quite a few AIAASB listens

[@JnK69]

The worst part about AIAASB and Act I is that they're too short, lol. Surprised to see Color Spectrum at the bottom of the list, but then again - just because a TDH album is at the bottom of the list doesn't mean it's bad, there's just so much other great music that deserve higher rankings!

[@NightwalkReal]

Violet and White are probably my favorite of the EPS :D

[@MattOLearyMusic]

It’s been too long since I returned to TCS!

[@CloudMountainJuror]

Great discussion! As a massive TDH lover it was wonderful to listen to. And I have to side with Notes on his pick for #1, Act V is something else. It's a major grower and just works all the way from front to back (yes, I very much enjoy Mr. Usher and The Haves Have Naught).

[@jamesrobillardjr]

He Said He Had A Story is totally supposed to sound disgusting. The Dear Hunter has been my favorite band since Act IV released, and I really think the story enhances the music with more context. It's certainly helped me notice some of the more subtle touches Casey decides to slip into his work. (Also Amour and Attrition is great.)

[@fabiodias5527]

Coheed is absolutely one of my all time favourite bands too. The Dear Hunter is definitely probably my favourite band from recent times. Seeing TDH + Coheed and Cambria (playing Good Apollo) in Royal Oak was definitely one of my highlights this year.

[@MattOLearyMusic]

Wasn't it amazing? I saw em at First Ave in Minneapolis... I know Coheed was a big influence on Casey, but I always wonder just how big. There's so much crossover on the Acts.

[@EvanVonHiser]

The Dear Hunter is my second favorite band, and I was looking forward to hearing someone else’s thoughts on their work, but when I saw that you were wearing a shirt from my all time favorite band (Dr. Dog) I was unbelievably stoked

[@EvanVonHiser]

Also my album ranking is: 7) Migrant 6) Colour Spectrum 5 Act V 4) Act IV 3) Act I 2) Act III 1) Act II

[@BenIrvine11]

1 Act lV 2 Act II 3 Act V 4 The Color Spectrum 5 Act III 6 Antimai 7 Migrant 8 Act I

[@MattOLearyMusic]

As long as IV and V are in the top half, I have no complaints!

[@buffrey1336]

Almost every album review that I have tried to find is just Pop music, and as much as I love Lana Del Rey (really the only person I truly love in this genre) The Dear Hunter is just on another level. I’m so happy I was able to find your channel! I like to use my liked videos as an archive for my favourite videos ever, and you just made the list. Thank you so much!

[@philip863]

You said “almost every album review that I have tried to find is just pop music...” what do you mean? That the only album reviews you watch are pop albums? How does saying that lead up to dear hunter is awesome?

[@koledornseifer6567]

7: Migrant 6: Act I 5: Act III 4: The Color Spectrum 3: Act II 2: Act IV 1: Act V

[@PrestonGranger]

Migrant should be way higher! Maybe 2nd or 3rd.

[@tweezas5232]

I was 20 minutes in and realised you weren’t talking about Deerhunter from Atlanta 😂

[@LukoHevia]

Man, i've just discovered this band, and i just can't believe how great they are. I love how melodic, textural and varied they are. Act V is blowing my mind as i write this brief words

[@MattOLearyMusic]

Join the club. The Flame (Is Gone) and The Fire (Remains) are so good

[@larrymiller1370]

Why can't this dude pronounce The Decemberists? It sounds like he's saying the Decemberences.

[@MattOLearyMusic]

Notes has always had trouble with that. Not really his thing, but it’s become kind of an endearing trait.

[@larrymiller1370]

@@MattOLearyMusic He really does seem like a great dude. I'm not hating just kinda grated on me everytime he said that haha.

[@MattOLearyMusic]

Oh trust me, I’m with you!
