Such a baller move by Thornhill. TDP was widely acclaimed, yet they still went for a different direction. Still the same "floating" experience while listening to these new tracks and in my opinion, very cinematic for some reason. Well done Thornhill.

Use me as a "this album is sex" button

5:52 to 6:09 is quite possibly the best sequence of comments from Bogdan ever

Gonna call them Pornhill after all those references, thanks Bogdan.

A mate of mine described it as "Muse if it was more horny and heavy" and he's not wrong, i reallyyyy love this direction for them, it works incredibly well :O

As a major fan of Dark Pool, I wasn’t too into Heroine on the first listen. I decided to give it a second try and had the whole album on repeat ever since.

Thornhill played the entirety of this album in Sydney about a month or 2 ago and I really wish that every person who graces their ears with this album could have seen the performance they gave and the Q&A that followed. Jacob has dramatically improved with his voice - a song like ‘Valentine’ might strike the thornhill fan base as a total “wtf” moment but when Jacob sang that song, high sections and all - along with the bands ability to create such powerful dynamics on stage that I feel you only really get when listening through a solid pair of head phones - it was a truly mesmerising and euphoric/ethereal experience. Fun Fact: In the Q&A I asked what artists they looked to for influence and what aspects of their music did you implement into your own - I was super shocked to hear some of the responses such as Jacob being heavily influenced by Gwen Stefani during the writing of Heroine. All in all - this band has really grown in such a unique and mature way - call it what you want, but truly appreciate it for the album it is. I’m so proud of these guys ❤

These guys quickly became my favorite band

This album is a masterpiece. Very SEXY indeed (until Thornhill I didn't know metal could even be "sexy" lmfao), very groovy and still a total banger. Love the production. It gives a dreamy vibe to the songs, it's unbelievable. I agree with you, Blue Velvet, Arkangel, Casanova, Hollywood, Raw and Heroine... that's to say the "quasi" entierety of the album... are the sexiest songs... :D And Something Terrible Came With The Rain is THE true gem of this record. Certainly the best album of the year

3:29 YES! My art school teacher always went along with saying "No such thing as talent. Only predispositions if so." Everything that we know and love as humans (singing, guitar playing, drawing, etc.) we are able to learn if we're determined enough to do so. Bogdan, you're speaking fax here my guy

honestly, this album it's not the "It's like TDP but different vibes". in my opinion, this is the REAL Thornhill sound. it's not a copy of something, but their original vibes.

The sexycore is off the charts

This is a phenomenal follow up to Dark Pool. You can listen all the way thru both Albums back to back on a loop.

I see it as this. They knew that they were never going to beat dark pool without just doing dark pool 2.0 but that's boring. so they were like fuck it lets mix it up. personally its vibe its good fucking music.

In my opinion after a few listens I have to say that this record will be the best of the year. Is fucking amazing how it sounds, it give me chills.

valentine has a portishead vibe to it, or maybe drugs are bad and i’m on some shit

Very divisive album, but I thought it was really good on my first listen. Kind of like "I Let It In and It Took Everything" by Loathe, you can hear some obvious influences, but they utilize them in ways that still make the sound of this album very diverse and unique. Hopefully it still holds up after more listens.

Take a shot every time Bogdan says sex

every single time i listen to this album it gets better

I literally felt my penial area move

Always loved me some Thornhill and this album makes me enjoy their music even more

Listening to the whole album makes it much better

The dark pool will always be special to me and possibly my favourite album of all time but this is something gorgeous and incredible. No band sounds like this right now and no other band writes music like thornhill do

Had mixed feelings coming into the album, but now those feelings have been squashed. One of my favourite albums of the year!

I was hyped by the new tracks but hearing the album was amazing! All of their albums are awesome in their own way!

It’s actually a really good album when you don’t compare it to their previous work. It really reminds me of Muse, Deftones and a little bit of Loathe. 👏🏼🥲

dammit ok I'll give it a good shot -edit: 10 months later and it's one of my favourite albums of all time, it's absolutely incredible. Nothing more needs to be said. Don't sleep on it.

this is definitely one of the albums of all time

Northlane and Thornhill going head to head for that AOTY 2022

I knew that I was going to love this album when "Casanova" came out, but I didn't expect to like it this much. I love all the way they incorporate their influences into their music, its truly incredible imo. I was also happy to hear Jacob bring Cherry-like vocals to this album. I think they nailed their new sound and I hope they keep experimenting!

I adore this album, this sound is way more my style the album and the two new singles have been on repeat for months

This is my AOTY 2022

I listened to this album most of the day and I love it

Every track on this album is a grower... Dark Pool is one of my favorite albums of all time... When I first heard many of the new singles, I was a bit disappointed on the vocal production... But, Honestly... I've come to love this just as much as I loved TDP... I've learned to separate the two albums and appreciate them both for what they are, not what my idea and expectations of the band are... This album was amazing.

I was so pissed that i missed the opportunity to see the album preview live in sydney with my mates. When i got home, all they said was "leather wings man, leather wings"

Leather Wings on repeat 🔁

They are so underrated ;-;

I share your opinion on that one. I felt it and took it the very same way with the same toughts you had. But in the end, it’s good music, simple as that ! ;) thanks for your content btw! From Rivière-du-Loup, Québec

this album is definitely what i was hoping for, a lot of influences from all over genres with that great thornhill twist, making for a really fun sound. and sex is definitely the correct word for a lot of these songs

Ecstatic, electric, energizing album! Such a powerful Saturday Night Wrist, Kai No Yokan and Black Hole and Revelations vibe. Still it's 100% original Thornhill work. I'm personally love this album and every song on it. These guys and Loathe are literally resurrected those spirit behind Deftones music that was lost somewhere in 2012, but in totally new modern incarnation. I really hope that one day they will get more famous and will push for European tour.

Honestly the singles didn't do it for me but i went into this album with low expectations. I love the album and the singles in the context of the whole album sound so much better

i was very confused at first as well, but after a few more listens id say i really love it and it brings such emotion and such art to their music and i think its a great album

This album is fucking incredible

this album is gold.

You perfectly resume my feeling on this album, I can’t say it better

I only discovered Thornhill a couple months ago, starting with The Dark Pool and then Butterfly. Only like last week did I listen to Heroine and the different feel makes me feel like I'm not even real.

From the first couple of listens it turned out I literally liked only all even tracks, but watching this video I think it will be more of them to be liked it's strange but for me this album has 60s-80s psychodelic vibes a bit. Remembering this, especially 'Hollywood', I imagine myself standing/dancing in the midst of garlands and flickering lamps, breathing the iridescent dust of oblivion, which is soaring in the air

This album really blew me away, to be honest. I wasn't huge on "Casanova" the first time I heard it, and I generally enjoyed "Arkangel" but didn't view it as comparable to any songs from "The Dark Pool". But in context of the album? Wow, both songs ended up clicking for me. The concept of twisted love on this album works well, and I love how the band explores it in almost every song. I think "Blue Velvet" and "Hollywood" are probably my favorites, both masterworks in their own right. I'll have to give it more listens before I can say this with confidence, but this might be my favorite album of the year so far. This comes way closer to "The Dark Pool" than I was expecting. The change in sound really worked for me, and I think I can say that confidently with especially my opinion on "Casanova" having such a huge turnaround.

the final song to me sounded a little similar to their Butterfly EP, i cant pinpoint how but it has that Butterfly vibe

Blue Velvet 💙

Seeing these guys in November, so fucking exited, hoping they play blue velvet

I have listened to this album for like 3-4 times by now, I don't know but many songs' vocal lines sounds similar to me. Maybe I have to give more listens on it. BTW who else thinks Bogdan looks like Jacob?

This whole album is just Deftones, Loathe and call me crazy but…Radiohead?! Idk if its just me😂

thornhill is amazing

The "mulekes" are good. [haha]

Hopefully you react to the new Bleed from Within album soon. It’s almost a perfect album

'Sexicore'

The first three tracks are incredible!! What an album

I adore this album!

Ay yo the new Muse and Deftones collab album is lit

both TDP and Heroine are equally great, two albums thats completely different, just goes to show how talented the band is

Yeah this actually slaps. Chill vibe, I’m not mad at it at all.

Bring Me The Horizon also got hate for evolving with every album, look at them now, Thornhill is going to be massive in the future.

Loved TDP, loved this

Glad they saved leather wings for the album. Very cool song. Varsity Hearts was a nice surprise too, love that lead guitar line

Gonna see Thornhill open up for the Plot in You and I'm hoping they play a good balance of dark pool and heroine tracks 🔥 (Please do not spoil the setlist for me)

It reminds me of Absolution by Muse

huge loathe vibes on this album tbf

Love this record, the dark pool will probably always be my favourite record of all time, but this record is incredible to me. Blue velvet, varsity hearts and heroine have been on repeat so much since it dropped, as well as the rest of the record but especially those three tracks.

I have fucking loved every second of this album and have since Casanova. Thornhill can do no wrong. Beautiful record.

It's actually a really good album for se...I mean yeah no it's a great album. 9.5/10

This, Bleed from within, Memphis May fire, AND Oklahoma Kid ALL DROPPED ALBUMS THIS WEEKEND. we are so spoiled

As someone who really enjoyed The Dark Pool i actually love this change in direction that they are going, as you said they definitely do still sound like themselves theyve just reinvented themselves in a really cool and unique way. I really liked the singles and im surprised how good the non singles are and to me they have a ton of replay value, idk about AOTY but definitely in my top 5 so far very solid 9/10

There’s a reason these guys are my favorite band

Not gonna lie, I am not really into this album but totally admire and respect the decisions they made to go in a different direction with it. Definitely has strong "Chevelle" vibes.

React to new bury tomorrow song

AOTY

Best Review of the album. Sex!

Describe the reaction in one word : SEX. Lol, keep it up. Nice video as always 🔥

Bogdan being sexy for 12 minutes and 26 seconds. Sexiest album of the year for sure!

It gives me a feeling like "the best Deftones' album since Koi No Yokan"

aoty no doubts

Had low expectations after the singles but this is really good. It's going to get a lot of Deftones comparisons that's for sure.

checkout A Wake In Providence- Godkiller

You also need to listen to oklahoma kids new album its bad ass

I love every second of it, it`s amazing

I enjoyed the album my favorites from the album are: Arkangel, leather wings, The hellfire club, Blue velvet, Valentine, Something terrible came with the rain, Raw and Heroine my least favorite are Cassanova (I prefer the live version at Triple J like a version), Hollywood And Varsity Hearts this is just my opinion I was originally going to give the album a 3/5 but I bummed up to a 3.5/5 Raw grew on me after hearing the live version of Raw the only time I come back to Heroine is Arkangel.

Blue Velvet reminds me the most of TDP. But this album is my AOTY for sure, just like how TDP was my 2019 AOTY. It took an adjustment period to get used to the new thorny (Casanova) but I love both albums.

I am sure that they lose many previous fans, but i am confident that they will earn many more with this

Love this album. Love all their music

It’s definitely a grower. Was surprised that you liked Valentine best, I just don’t get that song at all. Its the first Thornhill song they’ve released that I skip. I blue velvet and the hellfire club are great tracks and overall, I do enjoy this album. It’s just not got the repeatability of dark pool for me though.

Loved loved LOVED this album!!! First listen I was hooked! I get that this is different from what Thornhill usually does, BUT it is nothing short of AMAZING

I think that Casanova wasn’t the best choice for a first single. It’s probably one of the most different songs on the album and I don’t think that helped anybody with the sound change. I really enjoy the song it’s just that a different song like Leather Wings, would have helped people get used to the new sound easier.

Album should be renamed sex because it oozes with it

Ayo my friend, maybe we can hear your opinion about the r/dancegavindance issue of the moment?

I love this album, I love this Deftones/Muse inspired sound

Caffinated Bogdan is hilarious! Album is fire!

so glad someone is talking about how horny this album is

I miss TDP so much. But i love this so much as well

this album was fairly hit and miss for me, while it had its bangers like leather wings, hollywood, blue velvet, arkangel, cassanova. I just didn't get into it as much as the dark pool. Though its not a bad album, i didn't like it as much. Though it is very commendable that they experimented with the sound so I'm glad they did.
