Rather than merely aiming at populism, though, Brooks has set a new personal best for what he’s been doing for almost 20 years: turning pop anthems into earthmovers.

It’s not a monumental leap forward from the band’s previous work, but Harmonicraft displays the signs of consistent refinement and revels in that fact.

Many (most?) songs on Harmonicraft could fit comfortably into a more conventional arena setting than the ones from their murkier beginnings.

Thought Torche's stomping grounds are firmly rooted in loud rock and metal, the band's latest album is so bright, catchy, and sweet, even the most biggest of metal cynics can get something out of it.

Given all Harmonicraft's inherent turnaround, it's surprising to hear just how codified and predictable Torche sound at this point.

While the idea of turning pop songs into heavy stoner bangers is interesting, I think the execution leaves a lot to be desired, not only feeling derivative of other heavy acts like Lightning Bolt but also feeling much more drab and inoffensive.
I love the sound of this album. The combinations of indie rock with noise are really satisfying.
I have been completely crazy about Torche lately.
In this gloomy, dim world it is SO inspiring to have an energetic original band push their own sound and celebrate life!
IMO Torche are a band that are far ahead of their time, pushing forward with dreamy shogaze elements, but doing so on the basis of heavy stoner metal riffs.
One might argue - "Harmonicraft" is the collective`s best work to date.
