BRING ME THE HORIZON (BMTH) That's The Spirit (2015) CD

Love it or not, That's The Spirit is the album where Bring Me The Horizon stopped being Sheffield's most divisive metalcore export and became something the mainstream couldn't ignore. A lot of people have feelings about that. Most of them still own this record.

By 2015, Oli Sykes and the band had shed the deathcore aggression of their earlier work and leaned hard into atmospheric, arena-ready alternative rock. The result is polished in a way that annoyed the purists and delighted everyone else. Happy Song remains a perverse piece of work, a singalong built from therapy-session bleakness. Drown still hits harder than it has any right to. Whether you're revisiting it or coming in fresh, it's a document of a band making a genuinely risky call and pulling it off. A fixture of the alternative scene that shaped a generation of Australian festival crowds.

CD, standard jewel case, 2015 RCA/Columbia release.
