• People don't listen to Thriving Ivory for subtlety -- they listen for big, bombastic rock songs that walk the line between tasteful enthusiasm and melodrama. Through Yourself & Back Again is a lush, grand follow-up to the band's 2008 debut, filled with the sort of open-armed anthems also found on albums by OneRepublic and 30 Seconds to Mars. There's more spectacle than nuance here, perhaps, but spectacle is what the band does best. ~ Andrew Leahey
