From the ridiculously catchy guitar riff that opens the song to the group \"Oh-Oh-Ohs!\" to the snappy, bratty lyrics, I Don't Believe You is really just one hook to the next. If you hear this song once, you'll be singing along with it every time you hear it from then on. The b-side, There's Nothing You Can't Learn is a bass-heavy Breeders-inspired stomp that continues one of The Thermals' favorite themes - loving or leaving everything that is crazy and wrong in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 8\/10\/10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: 7\" with fold-over sleeve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The Thermals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42029512261713,"sku":"V0LNJT-78Y9-S2","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/the-thermals-i-dont-believe-you-7-inch_4zjVc.jpg?v=1762491642"},{"product_id":"the-thermals-personal-life-cd","title":"Personal Life (CD)","description":"\u003cp\u003eOver the course of seven years and four LP's, The Thermals have tackled religion, politics, and death with no small amount of passion and fervor. With their fifth LP, The Thermals have battled (and perhaps even conquered!) the deepest and darkest of all popular art themes- love. Not that The Thermalshaven't sung\/spoken\/screamed about the wide range of emotions love produces and abuses. But never before have The Thermals devoted an entire LP to love, loss, and lies! More than an album strictly about love, Personal Life is about relationships. It's about the concept of a connection between two people -making it, breaking it, and faking it. Personal Life amounts to the indie-rock equivalent of a brilliant but ultimately doomed love affair. A beautiful, turbulent experience that will hopefully leave you wiser in the ways of love and life.Personal Life is something of retro-technical achievement. Producer Chris Walla (Death Cab For Cutie, Tegan and Sara) recorded The Thermals the same way in which he produced their 2004 LP Fuckin' A. The band was recorded live (for the most part) to tape, and the album was mixed to tape as well. The sonic care Walla gave to Personal Life assures an enjoyable listen for audiophiles (the vinyl was mastered straight from tape) as well as for the rest of us who don't care and will be listening on shitty headphones and Radio Shack speakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: Mini gatefold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The Thermals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42032258252881,"sku":"1KNUJE-2SBV-CM","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/the-thermals-personal-life_Ctvb4.jpg?v=1762496075"},{"product_id":"now-we-can-see-cd","title":"Now We Can See (CD)","description":"The Thermals were born in Portland, Oregon, in the early winter of 2002.  The United States was going through a mental and moral quagmire, of sorts.  At the time, we referred to our brave, new world as  \"Post-9\/11\".  We would soon re-name this era  \"Pre-9\/11 Flight Tax\".  These were NOT simple times, my friend!  These were days of fear, of terror, of salvia!  The world looked like a horrible place, whether you were tripping or not.Now here we are, in 2009.  How things change!  How they get worse, and worse, and wow even WORSE, and then... wait for it... looks like maybe there is a light at the end of this tunnel?  Good God were we in a TUNNEL for eight years?Barack Obama is elected president of the U.S.A. and as millions of people cheer at the top of their lungs, millions more breathe an enormous collective sigh of relief.  Now we can start over, now we can begin repairing the damage done over the last eight years, now we can restore our great nation's standing in the world.Now we can see!Which finally brings us back to The Thermals.   Don't go anywhere, we are still going to sell you The Thermals, and maybe some aluminum siding, if you do not have aluminum siding.Like most Portlanders, The Thermals are only conservative when it comes to their stash.  So they were of course thrilled to see not only Obama become the nation's first black president, but also to see Portland's Sam Adams become the first openly gay mayor of a major U.S. city.Now we can see!The problem is, I think they meant the title to be ironic.  After all, The Thermals certainly love the 90's (think Pinkerton, Last Splash, Dookie, Mr. Show), the decade when irony battled sarcasm until they both collapsed upon themselves.  When The Thermals sing \"Now we can see\/What do we need?\/We should need nothing\/Nothing at all\", \"should\" seems to be the key word.  Now we can see.  We know the truth, but do we even care?  Does it change our behavior at all?  It might not be ironic, but is it optimistic?Don't ask The Thermals!  Rumors of their death have been greatly under-exaggerated.  Though NOT a concept record and NOT a sequel, \"Now We Can See\" picks up right where The Thermals left off, at the end of their last LP, 2006's \"The Body, The Blood, The Machine\", when The Thermals were either obliterated by nuclear war, or walked the earth as the last living souls, until they dropped dead of quite unnatural causes.  I don't know, the plot was a little hard to follow. Either way, the story continues... from beyond the grave!  With catchy choruses!The Thermals imagine death by drowning, in attempts to de-evolve (\"When I Died\", \"At The Bottom Of The Sea\"), death by psychosis (\"We Were Sick\", \"I Called Out Your Name\"), and death by French exit (\"You Dissolve\").  But as much death as there is on this record, it won't get you down!  These songs are really about life.  After all, The Thermals are only fictionally deceased.  Hell, they're only seven years old!  They know little about death, and slightly l\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: Heavy cardstock mini jack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternal ID: JITRE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 5\/1\/09\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandling Note: **Please allow an additional 72 hours for this item's shipment.**\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The Thermals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58221253492817,"sku":"UXS7FB-M6R4-5X","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/the-thermals-now-we-can-see_gQYun.jpg?v=1758187307"},{"product_id":"the-thermals-more-parts-per-million-lp","title":"More Parts Per Million [LP]","description":"\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt's Trivia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrace and Break\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo Culture Icons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGoddamn the Light\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOut of the Old and Thin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Know the Pattern\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTime to Lose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMy Little Machine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOvergrown, Overblown! 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePassing Feeling 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBack to Gray 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBorn Dead 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEndless Supply\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 098787062212\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sub Pop\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.4.03\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"The Thermals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58254220001361,"sku":"344056","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/491711.jpg?v=1759471252"},{"product_id":"fuckin-a-download-included-colored-vinyl","title":"Fuckin A [Download Included] [Colored Vinyl]","description":"\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOur Trip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvery Stitch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow We Know\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen You're Thrown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemember Today\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Stare Like Yours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLet Your Earth Quake, Baby\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGod and Country\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnd to Begin 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForward 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeep Time 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop of the Earth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 098787064513\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sub Pop\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.18.04\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"The Thermals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58292307984465,"sku":"455730","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/636616.jpg?v=1760742004"},{"product_id":"the-thermals-not-like-any-other-feeling-7-inch-vinyl","title":"The Thermals - Not Like Any Other Feeling - 7 inch [Vinyl]","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"redeye-blurb\"\u003eThird single plus an unreleased track from the Thermals album, Personal Life (09.07.10).
