Dec 5, 2011One of the best albums ever made; The air index feels just like it should, easy to the ears, light, smooth. But the album glows in the earth index; It feels downright gritty and dirty but manages to sound plain beautiful, just like a diamond in the rough. This album captures the sound of the elements and my heart as a music lover.

Sep 28, 2011Maybe a little too ambitious and all over the place. I respect what they're trying to do, but as a first time listener it's really hard to get into. I look forward to what they release next.

TobiasM.May 3, 2008There is something subtle in here... There is, in fact, a feel to the entire collection. Thrice is having fun and we are lucky enough to enjoy the result.

PrestonJ.May 2, 2008Its not a bad album its just that it doesn't have the same energy or innovation that the last one did. Air doesn't convey the feeling of a free flowing gas nor do the lyrics fit with the motif (as with the previous), and earth is just an okay acoustic album. It wasn't a terrible album just a terrible let down.

Alternative PressAlone, Air and Earth are the weakest of the EPs, but taken as a whole, Thrice have managed to convert an ultra-abstract concept into a cohesive and innovative collection. [May 2008, p.143]

For The Alchemy Index Vols. III & IV: Air & Earth, the material is appropriately lofty to represent the former element but surprisingly sparse for the latter.

Q MagazineThis second installment is immaculate, an artful, emotional tour de force that underlines their "American rock's Radiohead" status. [May 2008, p.130]
