RCK147 - Bring Me The Horizon - That’s The Spirit

That's the Spirit is Bring Me the Horizon’s fifth studio album, released on September 11, 2015. It marks a huge departure from their metalcore roots, embracing a melodic alternative rock and electronic rock sound. The album blends anthemic choruses, atmospheric synths, and emotional lyrics, making it one of their most commercially successful records.

Standout Tracks:

• "Happy Song" – A sarcastic take on forced positivity, with heavy guitars and stadium-sized hooks
• "Throne" – One of their biggest hits, mixing electronic elements with powerful riffs
• "True Friends" – A dramatic, orchestral-driven track with sharp, cutting lyrics
• "Follow You" – A softer, emotional ballad with electronic beats and a soaring chorus
• "What You Need" – A groovy, almost industrial-tinged rock song
• "Avalanche" – A deeply personal track about mental health struggles
• "Drown" – Originally released as a standalone single, this song became an anthem for fans dealing with depression
• "Blasphemy" – A unique track with bluesy guitar solos, rare for BMTH
• "Oh No" – A surprising closer with jazzy, electronic influences
