I know what you mean.

[TakeWarning]

Sweet as bro.

[B]

Yeah, I am so pumped for this album.

omg

/eats

[Kif]

Is it still a double album?

[B]

I'm not sure.

[Gnarmageddon]

Woot.

[CommieCanada]

Is it still a double album?
no, unfortunatly

[cbmartinez]

The new songs I heard are incredible. Wait until all of you hear "Blood On The Tracks" and "The Love Song Writer." They're incredible. This album is going to destroy.

[bottlerocket]

I really can't freakin' wait...Thursday's one of those bands I'll always love.

I love the lyrics...Geoff is, in my opinion, a genius.

-Gav

[B]

Same here Gav. Geoff is so effing awesome.

[thisis sceneSUICIDE]

I cannot freaking wait for this.

I'm going to be listening to Full Collapse for days to prepare myself.

[HomeCatMickey8]

Judging from the two new songs I heard live in Jersey, I'm feeling that this album will mark that they have managed to release 4 great albums, all with their own distinctive sound.

[Kif]

Still, Brand New's new album > Thursday's new album.

I'm psyched for both though.

[Converge]

I can't wait for it, like im sooo psyched for it.

[cbmartinez]

Still, Brand New's new album > Thursday's new album.

I'm psyched for both though.

lol

[SunnyDayRealEstateAM]

I can't wait to see em' with The Number 12 Looks Like You and Minus The Bear. Ohhh s'hitttt!!!!!

[Puma]

I gotta say, I'm friggin' stoked.

[bottlerocket]

Still, Brand New's new album > Thursday's new album.

I'm psyched for both though.

I'm with cb on this one...I'm gonna "lol" at you. :lol:

:p

Thursday >>>>>> Brand New

In my opinion, anyway...

-Gav

[B]

I love Brand New, but I wholeheartedly agree.

Thursday is one of my favourite bands.

[cbmartinez]

I'll hopefully be catching them May 1st, a day before the album comes out at a small club. If not, I'll see them at Bamboozle later that week. Bamboozle has a lot more bands (and a mysterious reunion) but I'd rather see them in a more personal setting. Bamboozle is like a stadium thing. That's why I don't think I'm going to go to Warped to see them.

[Dinosawesome]

I shall pay money for this one.

[TakeWarning]

I love Brand New, but I wholeheartedly agree.

Thursday is one of my favourite bands.

**** yeah.

[SunnyDayRealEstateAM]

I'm not gonna listen to the new stuff until the day the album comes out and I go buy it. So, can anyone tell me in what kind of direction they went?

[cbmartinez]

More epic.

[bottlerocket]

Yeah I heard they tried to go really big on this album...sort of like taking Full Collapse to a whole other level.

Should be sick. :D

-Gav

[cbmartinez]

It's going to be like what War All The Time tried to do. On WATT, they tried to hard to write these epic, emotional anthems like "War All The Time" but they just came out sounding cliche.

[bottlerocket]

^ I think Full Collapse was what they wanted War All The Time to do, but they wanted WATT to be "epic," like you said...I think this album will be taking FC and making it as epic as WATT while still being as good as FC, if not better...

FC > WATT

-Gav

[cbmartinez]

Yeah, they'll never make an album better than FC.

[bottlerocket]

^ Truth...FC was amazing in every sense of the word.

-Gav

[HomeCatMickey8]

If I was stranded on an island with a CD player and one album, that album better be Full Collapse. I LOVE FULL COLLAPSE!

[B]

me2

I love the song War All The Time though.

[cbmartinez]

ur ghey

[bottlerocket]

Understanding in a Car Crash >>>>>>> War All the Time

-Gav

[HomeCatMickey8]

How Long is the Night tops all... just my opinion.

Oh and pretty much tracks 6-9 on Full Collapse are sex+cocaine.

[cbmartinez]

How Long Is Night? ftw

"I will never sleep again"

Part makes me cry, no joke.

[B]

That song too.

I overkilled UIAC >_>

[HomeCatMickey8]

I love how they end that song/pretty much the whole album on a very gradual cressendo.

[bottlerocket]

If we run far away do you think we will ever die?

<3

Amazing...we love you, Geoff...we really do.

-Gav

[cbmartinez]

UIAC should be the official anthem of our generation. For me, it just captures every moment and emotion of youth, maturity and loss of innocence so well.

[bottlerocket]

^ It does...

12:03...our last goodbye.

My favorite lyrics in that song are:

...paint the world in red and broken glass.

-Gav

[Left Shoe]

asleep in the chapel > you, all of you

[cbmartinez]

Eh, that song is kind of weak.

[HomeCatMickey8]

Oh yeah, Left Shoe makes a point.

Singing along to Asleep In the Chappel at the top of your lungs on your porch when it's like 12 degrees out... that's an experience right there.

"OOOOOOH Lord can you save us, can you save us"

[bottlerocket]

^ Lies...it's a good song but FC is better.

It's probably my favorite song off WATT, though...I can really relate. I used to be Christian but totally lost my faith. That song really captures how I felt.

Still the choir girls sing, "Oh Lord! Can you save us? Can you save us?"

Oh man...baptize our kids in gasoline....sooooo good!

-Gav

[HomeCatMickey8]

Yeah, that's why I like it so much, Gav. I'm always searching for a religion or philosiphy to follow, but nothin' seems to work out, so I eventually just give up and then start back up again and what not. It's a bitch of a process, so it deserves a good song.

[B]

The Ny Batteri song is really good.

:-* Chris

[cbmartinez]

The lyrics are too cliche though. The whole suicide thing. I don't know. I thought that song and "Steps Ascending" were kind of weak. But "Steps Ascending" has that incredible outro.

RED ROSESSSSSSSSSSSS

[cbmartinez]

The Ny Batteri song is really good.

:-* Chris

Isn't it? :D

[Left Shoe]

someone send me that ny batteri song, i need it.

aim = Heres To Life56

ill make e love with you

[CommieCanada]

jet black new year is their best song duh

War All the Time was the only song i didnt like on that album really

[cbmartinez]

Meh, JBNY one of their best but it's a little overrated. It doesn't really sound like them. It's so energetic and relentless though.

[bottlerocket]

^ The intro sounds like a song they'd play at a football game or something to get the crowd pumped up...

-Gav

[TakeWarning]

Paris In Flames > all.

[HomeCatMickey8]

I think this thread just concludes that Thursday > all.

[B]

Yes.

[bottlerocket]

Meh, I wouldn't say they're better than everyone but FC is one of my top 20 favorite albums...

-Gav

[B]

Thursday is in my Top 2 favourite bands. The other being Poison The Well.

Then the rest of my favourite bands change all the time.

[cbmartinez]

Same for me. Full Collapse is my favorite album of all time.

[HomeCatMickey8]

Same for me. Full Collapse is my favorite album of all time.
Agreed:chug:

[CommieCanada]

Full Collapse is in my top 3 albums ever

[The_Red_Death]

I'll definently have to check this album out. Jet Black New Year will probably always be my favourite song by them though. When it slows down during the bridge, from the Ten seconds left until midnight... part on, it just blows me away every time I hear it.

[The_Red_Death]

^ The intro sounds like a song they'd play at a football game or something to get the crowd pumped up...

-Gav

Yeah, I can kind of agree with that. But like I said in my last post, it's the bridge that gets me every time. And I agree with what people said about Understanding In A Car Crash. I'll always love UIACC, because it's the song that originally got me into Thursday.

[bottlerocket]

^ Yeah that bridge/interlude is sick...my favorite part is "Five stories falling, forever and ever." I love how they have the countdown.

-Gav

[Left Shoe]

someone send me that ny batteri song, i need it.

aim = Heres To Life56

ill make e love with you
please?

[Pazz]

I got ya man.

[Left Shoe]

i think you just made my day, thanks

[Pazz]

No problem.:thumb:

[Society Sellout]

Anyone heard the new song on their site, At This Velocity? It's pretty good, definatly better than 5-4-3-2-1 crap :P.

[cobert]

Hello everyone.

Full Collapse is the best CD ever made.

And the new Cd seems like it will be good, better than 'War All The Time' but not as good as 'Waiting'. Counting 5-4-3-2-1 wasnt good at all, but 'At This Velocity' made my dick move a little bit, i think.

[cbmartinez]

"Running From The Rain" owns both of them.

[cobert]

I havent heard that yet, and imbut i'll probably just wait until the CD comes out.

[cbmartinez]

No, you need it now. IM me.

[Kif]

Anyone who wants the sampler for the CD can hit me up on AIM. It has 3 songs (Although one of them sounds a little bad quality), and 3 one minute clips.

[cobert]

No, you need it now. IM me.

Its pretty good. Doesnt feel like a thursday song even.

[FungusAmngus870]

I love the lyrics on 'Waiting', but overall Full Collapse is my favorite Thursday album.

[Sep]

Anyone got Counting 5-4-3-2-1 or At This Velocity cd quality or something? The versions I have are pretty bad quality which takes away from my listening experience.

[thrashfanatic2010]

5 4 3 2 1 etc is that how the other songs sound like ,if so,im not impressed

[B]

5 4 3 2 1 etc is that how the other songs sound like ,if so,im not impressed
I like how you read the thread.

No, the rest doesn't sound like that.

[cbmartinez]

The sample of "We Will Overcome" is ****ing amazing.

[Kif]

Might wanna fix that link :thumb:

I've got an MP3 rip of the stream as well which is cool. Well, nearly anyway

[Society Sellout]

I'm at The Lovesong Writer. I don't know what to think. It seems like they've taken an entirely new direction for this album.

I'm on the fence so far.

[Pazz]

Is anyone going to upload this?

[B]

The Telegraph Avenue Kiss demo was much better than the finished version.

It was my favourite demo.

[cobert]

http://www.myspace.com/thursday

GO now! Full album up.

Fixed. :)

Awesome.

:( myspace is being stupid to me.

[B]

I've got it all in mp3 if you've got AIM Cob.

[Pazz]

I've got it all in mp3 if you've got AIM Cob.

Hey Brandon, want to send it to me?

[cobert]

Nah its cool, its working now.

[B]

Hey Brandon, want to send it to me?
Just get it on soulseek, I'm going on to get some stuff anyways.

Aim will probably crash my computer right now :-\

[Pazz]

Alright.

[cobert]

Theyre really putting andrew to work on this album, it seems like.

[Pazz]

There is so many people in queue for it.

Someone should send it to Vince so he can send it to everyone.

[B]

There is so many people in queue for it.

No one downloads off me. Ever.

[Pazz]

No one downloads off me. Ever.

You haven't allowed me to browse your music.

[B]

you're on my list. I think.

[cobert]

'The Lovesong Writer', 'We Will Overcome', and 'Into The Blinding Light' are sooooo good.

[FungusAmngus870]

It is so tempting, but I think Im holding out till the 2nd.

[team_racket]

arrggh the new stuffs all qeued on slsk. cant wait though. full collapse was probably the best album of my youth. war all the time sounded forced though.

[Society Sellout]

arrggh the new stuffs all qeued on slsk.

Uhh... Was that english?

[team_racket]

sorry sir i meant 'queued'. my grammar isnt amazing but it isnt a reason for you to get c'ockey.

[B]

And stuffs.

Message me on soulseek if you want it. Because I have to add you. Same name as here. I'll be on in a sec.

[team_racket]

ive just scraped a couple of songs buddy. thanks for the hospitality :thumb:

[DepthsOfDreams555]

sorry sir i meant 'queued'. my grammar isnt amazing but it isnt a reason for you to get c'ockey.

You didn't capatalize anything either. Haha I really don't care just thought I would point it out.

[B]

ive just scraped a couple of songs buddy. thanks for the hospitality :thumb:
Cool. I have the whole album :-\

[clearvision]

Is yours a webrip atticus!?

[B]

Yeah, I think. Lol.

[DaveIsWrong]

Does anyone know where I can find lyrics for the Lovesong Writer? I lose him after the first few lines and I wanted to read the rest.

[DepthsOfDreams555]

Well they aren't really online considering the CD hasn't been released. Just wait.

[Society Sellout]

sorry sir i meant 'queued'. my grammar isnt amazing but it isnt a reason for you to get c'ockey.

Mmm my bad wasn't trying to be rude I just honestly didn't understand what you had said. I see now that slsk stands for soulseek didn't know that before so that whole statement was rather confusing.

[team_racket]

no worries

[Sep]

I listened to the first track at my friend's house and it sounded ****ing unbelievable.

[frmautumTOashes]

I didn't like counting 54321 that much, but I still gotta listen to the whole album on myspace.

[Society Sellout]

I think I've probably listen to the album about 10 times now. I am really loving it, there is so much depth to it. I'm going to try to write up a review for it if I can find time between my projects I'm doing right now :/.

We Will Overcome is quite amazing.

[z is me]

We will overcome is my least favorite on the cd, with lovesong writer and autumn leaves revisted at the top.

[DaveIsWrong]

We will overcome is my least favorite on the cd, with lovesong writer and autumn leaves revisted at the top.

Yeah those are my two favs too.

[Sep]

Does anyone know what the digipack is gonna include? I think I'm just gonna order the cheap version 'cause shipping to Oman is like 8$ already for 1 cd!

[CommieCanada]

i am so excited for this. you cant even imagine

[Society Sellout]

I'm almost finished writing a review. Would everyone be ok with me putting it up here so I can get some feedback before it goes on Sputnik?

[conniption]

Can't wait to get it. I heard it on myspace a little bit ago, and it was real good.

[B]

I'm almost finished writing a review. Would everyone be ok with me putting it up here so I can get some feedback before it goes on Sputnik?
In this thread would be fine. Keep in mind Sputnik won't take it until the album is released.

[Society Sellout]

Awesome ok here it is. I'll be putting it up on at sputnik on May 2nd so any feedback concerning anything is helpful.

Thursday are my gateway drug.

Metaphorically, of course. I first listened to Thursday after reading a Featured Artist review on MX and bought War All the Time shortly after. At this stage of my life I had recently discovered the mainstream hardcore/pop infusions of bands like The Used, but still dabbled in extremely popular Nu-Metal acts such as Linkin Park and P.O.D.. Upon first listen I didn’t care much for the raw(WAtT was quite raw compared to what I was listening to at the time) sound but something about them enticed me to listen again, then again. Soon I was entranced by the suburban inspired lyrics, the unique guitar riffs and the chaotic yet often melodic vocals.

I was sure that this was it, that War All the Time was musical perfection. I was wrong. I searched forever and ever and finally found Full Collapse. This album did not leave my car cd player for at least a month in and a half. I was astounded that War All the Time could seem so weak in comparison to an earlier album.

So when Thursday went back into the studio to record ‘A City By The Light Divided’ I was quite anxious about what the result would be. When the six demo songs leaked I nervously downloaded them and listened to try and get a glance at what was to come. I was pleasantly surprised by the variety I heard in the demos and how fresh the felt. Finally, as the date of release neared, Thursday uploaded their entire album onto Myspace. I almost yelped in anticipation as I began listening to the first song. DId Thursday deliver? Can they top their masterpiece, Full Collapse? Or will this album fall short of even War All the Time? Since these are all opinions I’ll save them for the end. For now:

A City By The Light Divided

The album starts out The Other Side Of The Crash/Over And Out (Of Control), which is a response to Understanding In A Car Crash from Full Collapse. The song begins with the pounding, distorted guitars that have commonly opened up Thursday albums, then shifts during the verse to ambient guitar with a prominent bass line that moves as a melody along with the vocals. These musical aspects of the verse reflect that of Understanding In A Car Crash as well as some of the lyrics seem to look back at the song as a time of vocalist Geoff’s life, such as:

“Car crash came and car crash went, so I went along with it.”

The album moves along to Counting 5-4-3-2-1, which is the first single Thursday released. Echoed shouts of “5-4-3-2-1, what are you waiting for?” reverberate around you during the chorus and you can’t help but feel as though your caught up in some aggressive protest. Geoff shows that he still has quite a bit of writing talent in the second verse:

“All his life he lived in this same house.
Same white fence surrounding him, he swore he would get out.
But he cant cause his foot got caught in between in the rails.
And all his friends were all up ahead
They cant hear him yelling, yelling for some help.”

The song gets rather repetitive near the end and what you are left with in your head is yourself chanting 5-4-3-2-1 over and over again. This song just seems to rub me the wrong way, it seems too much like a theme song than something Thursday would do.

We take a jump from here to the mellow but passionate Sugar In The Sacrament. The guitar opens up with some medium tempo picking and builds into the chorus as Geoff’s voice pushes and pushes into the climactic chorus. The instruments drop out for the bridge and ambient sound pulses forward until Geoff cuts in with:

“This is all we’ve ever know of God, fly with me, let me touch you now”

Conviction grips his vocal performance and you can’t help but feel a shiver down your spine as he erupts with the final shouts of the song.

“Ok”, is how Geoff begins At This Velocity, a fast tempo song with fast riff changes and constant quick transitions between shout and scream. At This Velocity is quite relentless in it’s pounding until the bridge where it slows a bit, descending octaves and light melodic vocals set the mood for decrescendo of the song.
We Will Over Come opens up with some string texturing and almost skips the verse before launching into the choir backed chorus and then back into the verse. The song steadily slows down from its upbeat tempo until it recovers in the bridge where a contrast is formed between the chorus of voices and Geoff’s shouts.

Here is where the album splits, the song, Arc-lamps, Signal Flares, A Shower of White (The Light), seems to act as a intermission. Although it hasn’t been clarified for me there seems to be some concept that this song is the “Light” that divides the “City” in the album title A City By The Light Divided. The only really obvious difference between the songs on the first half and the second half is that the first seem to have more energetic, driven songs(with the exception of Sugar In The Sacrament) and the second half seems to contain the downbeat, yet epic songs. Anyway, this song is, disappointingly, bland and skippable as it is really only a simple keyboard riff backed by simple drums and some guitar noodling.

As we hit the second half of the album we are introduced to Running From The Rain. A song which, while it stands alone well, seems rather out of place on this album. Let me explain what I mean, Thursday’s music has always had a strong sense of contrast to it, the end of A Hole In The World featured the contrast of light piano chords to strong emotional screaming, Steps Ascending almost stops all sounds in the bridge to contrast the build up that follows, many of the songs on A City By The Light Divided also feature such sharp contrasts. Running From The Rain really doesn’t have any of that, it slowly builds and falls from verse to chorus. This makes the song seem like it probably shouldn’t be on the album, it’s a pretty good song with some powerful lyrics such as:

“So we forgot our names
lying in the tall grass
underneath the billboard dreams.”

But it just falls short of expectations.

Telegraph Avenue Kiss opens up with some strong lyrics then is joined by the rest of the band in a mid tempo march into and energy filled chorus. Near the two minute mark the song shifts and changes from being carried by a light mallet part to the angelic peaks of Geoff’s voice and makes for some interesting layering.
The album moves into one of it’s more powerful and epic songs, The Lovesong Writer. Opening with a soft simple guitar line, Geoff coons out innovative lyrics about an insecure artist. The chorus crunches down atop the verse and Geoff voice soars over the distortion with “The songs that he writes, are too personal, he can’t play them for anyone”. The bridge explodes with trading vocals and then Geoff singing “Sing for me, Sing for me, Sing for me now” and ends in prolonged static.
As we rush Into The Blinding Light it takes on a pulsating ride that feels like a nighttime roller coaster ride or a high speed car chase. Nothing particularly notable in this song happens until Geoff begins to sing “Please someone help me...” and the guitar shifts. The vibrant, speeding guitar and synth part at the end definitely gives a feel of motion and textures the song well.
The album concludes with possibly the longest song Thursday has ever done, Autumn Leaves Revisited. Starting softly and coming out strong at about the 1:30 mark then droping back down to the sounds of an acoustic guitar(Seriously? Thursday and acoustic have almost never been in the same sentence) before gradually crawling into a crecendo. The song ends with the lyrics:

“The leaves will fall
so will you
when you do bury me under them too
seconds pass we’ll make it through
eventually we all are going home.”

Overview:

Thursday set the bar high for themselves with War All the Time and more importantly Full Collapse. Did they deliver? It’s really up to you. You can compare A City By The LIght Divided to their previous releases with skepticism and claim it’s not really “Thursday”. My opinion is that this album is Thursday’s heart and soul, that even though some of the tracks fall slightly short of perfection, the ones that do hit the mark hit it high and make every second of this album worth a listen. Thursday IS a new band, having three years since War All the Time has definetly changed them, I think for the best.

[TakeWarning]

Nice review man.

[z is me]

*clap*

[Shikyo]

I normally don't post in pop-punk... but that's a real kickass review. Nice job on that. Can't wait to get this album. My girlfriend hates Thursday and I burnt her a CD with Counting 5-4-3-2-1 on it and I didn't write her out a tracklisting... and she said she liked that song. It was so funny telling her that she liked new Thursday. haha

[Mitch2oo6]

Hey, nice review. V.nice.

The album is crazy awesomo as well, I love it

[Full Collapse299]

Still, Brand New's new album > Thursday's new album.

I'm psyched for both though.

Your kidding right...anyway I can't believe that it comes out in like 4 days!

[Mitch2oo6]

Brandnew arent all that special though...Sic Transit Gloria...Glory Fades is an awesome song admittedly, but theyre by no means better than Thursday.

[Full Collapse299]

I'll hopefully be catching them May 1st, a day before the album comes out at a small club. If not, I'll see them at Bamboozle later that week. Bamboozle has a lot more bands (and a mysterious reunion) but I'd rather see them in a more personal setting. Bamboozle is like a stadium thing. That's why I don't think I'm going to go to Warped to see them.

Bamboozle is in the parking lot. I don't know if they have any bands inside.

[cobert]

/Pumped about new album

I see how in the review, he pointed out the entire 'light dividing the city' thing with the interlude. I always thought full collapse had a theme to it, where it all started out as day time, and everyone lost hope until it turned to night, then the last true song ont he cd says 'if the suns on its way', and it goes back to day. I never looked into it, though, i probably should.

Yeah I've been thinking that too. It starts off with a car crash, I know that much heh. Then one line of How Long Is The Night? is "now the lungs collapse, air is getting thin" i think its basically a story of how the car crash affected the main character and what he went through then he fully collapsed.

[cobert]

Thats the problem though, i dont think it follows a specific story. I just think its a very broad concept dealing with day turning to night, then back again. Ill find more stuff about it then post later.

[cbmartinez]

Nerds.

[cobert]

Nerds.

You're fat, so we're even.

[cbmartinez]

No, I'm anorexic because I'm scene.

[B]

oshi-

Hey we can start an anorexic club doods.

[Dinosawesome]

Still, Brand New's new album > Thursday's new album.

I'm psyched for both though.
Yeah I'm gonna have to agreet there.

But this album shall rock so many socks.

[TakeWarning]

Yeah I can't wait for the new Brand New.

[Dinosawesome]

Brandnew arent all that special though...Sic Transit Gloria...Glory Fades is an awesome song admittedly, but theyre by no means better than Thursday.
Yes they are. Thursday is an awesome band- but Brand New, both musically and lyrically have matured so much more than any other pop-punk group out there.

[...someone®]

^Yeah, I completely agree...




Thursday was great, But I can't wait for Brand New.

[Society Sellout]

Yes they are. Thursday is an awesome band- but Brand New, both musically and lyrically have matured so much more than any other pop-punk group out there.

Musically Brand New have not really matured that much, the main difference between YFW and DE is atmosphear and lyrical content. In songwriting ability Brand New has taken leaps and bounds above anything they've previously done. In comparision to Thursday, I do believe it's hard to compare since they are almost entirely different, but if we were Thursday would excell above them in almost every category.

[cobert]

Yes they are. Thursday is an awesome band- but Brand New, both musically and lyrically have matured so much more than any other pop-punk group out there.

Yes, but just because they got a lot better between 2 cd's doesnt make them above someone who was always better than they were.

[Kif]

I really shouldn't get involved in this argument.

[B]

Both bands are amazing, it really just depends on my mood. I love Jesse and Geoff. They're probably my favourite frontman peoples.

[cobert]

They should have sex and make little babies.

[Kif]

Oh oh and then they could start a joint band with their kids, and rule all

[cobert]

Oh oh and then they could start a joint band with their kids, and rule all

Yeah, and it would all be like:

The time has come for colds,
and overcoats......
*JUN JUN JUN*
SAVE!!!!!!!!!!
*JUN JUN JUN*
OUR SHIP!!!!!!!!
THE ANCHOR IS PART OF THE DESK!!!!!!!!!!!!

That band would be siqq.

[Fish]

o shi o shi, i totally missed this thread. Im loving the new Thursday album, i wish they came to ToC but they cancelled the day before, it was terrible. I've been listening to this album a lot lately, especially tracks like Running From The Rain and Telegraph Avenue Kiss

[Full Collapse299]

I think I'm going to walk to the mall from school instead of going home and waiting for my mom to get home to get the album.

[DepthsOfDreams555]

I think I'm going to walk to the mall from school instead of going home and waiting for my mom to get home to get the album.

That's nice.....

[Full Collapse299]

That's nice.....

It is rather nice, wish I could say the same about your yellow card avitar.

[DepthsOfDreams555]

It is rather nice, wish I could say the same about your Yellowcard avatar.

Dumb ***

[Full Collapse299]

Haha

All my friends make fun of me for liking Yellowcard, it's stupid. I really like them. People are always makin fun of them. It pisses me off.

[Fish]

They are okay, just not might favorite, i rather listen to.... thursday :p

[DepthsOfDreams555]

I never said I wouldn't....I love Thursday. And I don't care if someone doesn't like Yellowcard but you don't have to be a douche bag about it.

[Full Collapse299]

He's right let's stop, you like Yellowcard and that's your opinion and I like other bands that you probably don't like and that's mine. I have to admit the only reason I posted that I would walk from school was to try and be "cool". :upset: Let's just be happy that May 2nd is the big day. And to be honest I never really listened to Yellowcard that much, but if you like them and say they're good I'll go and give them another listen and then tell you what I think. I know Ocean Avenue is in my sister's room. I'll check their purevolume to see if any songs from Lights And Sounds are on there. :thumb:

[DepthsOfDreams555]

HAHA, ya Ocean Avenue would be in your sister's room. They are popular with the little teenage girls haha. Unless your sister isn't that age but I'm guessing she is. Ya they have a lot more material then you think. Listen to some really early stuff before Ryan Key was there. And Lights and Sounds is really good IMO that is. Ya I didn't really mean anything by that I just always have a smart *** comment to make haha. Ya you tell me what you think about Yellowcard.

[Mute Print]

This Full Collapse299 guy is pretty cool. Stick around.

Anyway, I'll definitely be picking up the album on Tuesday. Can't wait.

[cobert]

Well, glad to see we could all kiss and make up.

Did they still have the violinist? He annoys me so much, I was told to check out some pre-OA stuff but hesitated because of that silly violinist...

[Full Collapse299]

I'm kind of disapointed because I can't find it. My sister is 18 now. She got Ocean Avenue probably at the time it came out. She just saw Yellowcard actually like a week or two ago. I plan on picking up another album on Tuesday. I might pick up Vena Amori "Seduction of an American Housewife". or maybe perhaps Lights And Sounds.

[DepthsOfDreams555]

Well the violinist has been in the band officially since their second release Where We Stand, but their first release Midget Tossing he only played on a few tracks and wasn't an official part of the band. I don't understand why people don't like him. I like the violin in the music.

[clearvision]

It just seems really gimicky to me and hasn't fit the songs i've heard by them...

I downloaded the new thursday...what i thought was a CD rip...77mb off torrentspy. But listening to the first song it just doesn't seem to be of very good quality when the drums ocme in. Anyone know if this is a CD rip, if one exists? and where i could find it, that would be great :)

You probably got the myspace rip. There hasn't been a known CD rip.
One more day!

Have you not listened to it yet?

[Full Collapse299]

Have you not listened to it yet?

I have, but I deleted it off my computer a couple days ago so May 2nd can be that much more awesome!

[DepthsOfDreams555]

Haha, oh I see. Good plan, I have already listened to the whole thing a ton, but I'm still excited to buy the CD and get the booklet and stuff, I love the booklets.

[cobert]

Right, its like how i prefer standing for a long time so that when i sit down, it seems more comfortable.

Im also obsessed with booklets for CD's. I love reading bands thanking other bands, i dont know why.

[B]

There's a cd rip somewhere. Kif's got it.

[clearvision]

Where is that man! I'm sure he wouldn't mind uploading it :-*

[Mute Print]

I think I should be getting it in the mail tomorrow. Up until last night I completely forgot I pre-ordered it.

[cobert]

Im not going to school tomorrow dermatologist appointment. Then straight to the mall f or new thursday.

COWABUNGA.

TOTALLY

I want to hear this album so bad right now.

[cbmartinez]

I just pre-ordered it ROFL

[cobert]

Gentlemen....


















START YOUR BONERS.



This album's going to be so awesome.

[Full Collapse299]

All I have to say it "wow". Amazing album, well worth the wait.

great from start to finish

[cobert]

Good album. I wouldnt sat great from start to finish though. I'd say its about equal to WATT. I cant decide which half of the album i like more.

[Kif]

I'm not feeling it. At all. There are a few really good tracks, but it's very slow-paced for Thursday.

Could you upload your CD rip please :)

I still can't find one :-/

[Kif]

Mmmkay.

[Mute Print]

I haven't gotten it in the mail yet. :(

[cbmartinez]

Me neither. From listening to it once, it totally blows away WATT.

[Mute Print]

I haven't heard it yet. I decided to just wait it out.

It better come soon though, or I'm gonna go crazy.

[FungusAmngus870]

first listen- wasnt blown away
now- i love it, it is so refreshing and keeps growing on me

[CommieCanada]

i like that though. im glad they didnt just rehash FC or WATT. They keep expanding and reinventing themselves. That is the mark of a great band.

Dont let anyone fool you, this is a masterpiece

[Kif]

I think the gap between FC and WATT was quite small though, but it still felt new and exciting. That's why I love both of those albums so much, since there is still an overwhelming Thursday-esque feel, but there's some new ideas and musicianship as well that makes WATT great.

I've tried getting into the new album a lot more, and it's hard for me. It trails off about halfway through, and every song just feels too downbeat. I like those songs, but in moderation, especially from a band with a reputation as big as Thursday's.

[Angry Balled Fists!]

hmm, i haven't heard it, but have they "done a thrice" then ?

I really think War All the Time is their best album. Its got the best mix of the soft to loud thursday feel. But this new album is so much more, and i hate to use this word, Epic. It feels so large. Its like what Thrice did with their new record and i LOVE it. the new record is amazing

the only thing i am really dissapointed with is the lyrics on this one. They dont live up to the intensity of full collapse or the peotic merit of War All The Time. Still great though. And even though a lot of people said that WATT was overproduced, at least you could hear the vocals. Geoff's singing is almost impossible to hear when the music climaxes. That pisses me off

[cbmartinez]

I've been saying that too since I heard the album. This album is all aobut being big, in your face, grandoise and epic. The songs have a stadium feel as opposed to the small feel of Full Collapse. The new album is overproduced no matter how you look at it. But unlike War All The Time, where I think the overproducing effectively killed the honesty and personality of Thursday's music in many cases, this album remains true. Despite being on a major label, I think Thursday stuck to their beliefs and made a very personal album devoid of popular influence.

I don't know what you're thinking in calling War All The Time their best album though. :-/

Full Collapse didnt do as much for me. Honestly i think WATT sounded more real and personal. Especially on tracks like Division St. where you can really hear Geoff throwing his soul out there. Full Collapse didnt have enough production value on it, and after I am the Killer i cant really get into the rest of the album for whatever reason. I love every track on WATT though.

[Fish]

WATT really did it for me, and was the main reason for me getting into thursday. I agree about FC not being as great as WATT. but still not a bad album

[cobert]

The album sounds weirdly mixed. Geoff's voice is indeed hard to hear in some spots.

I cant remember which song, i think the lovesong writer, but the end makes my ears hurt because it gets really loud.

[Society Sellout]

It's Into The Blinding Light. It gets excessivly loud at the very end.

[cobert]

Yeah. That was sooo not needed, it made my ears bleed. It's like, it was halfway through that part at the end and got really loud, and i was like 'This is awesome', then it kept getting louder and i was like 'WHAT THE ****.'

[Fish]

actually yeah.. I was going to say something about the vocals being hard to hear at some parts. i thought it was because I got the album off of Matt, and he's just... ya.. <_<

[cobert]

And the bass seems really loud.

[Fish]

yeah, some stuff doesnt really sound like its 100% finished..

[Ollie_M3]

Could someone send me or uploud the album. I've got most of the songs but they're not good quality. I'd buy it but I just spent all my money on TBS tickets and LN. AOL sn is Ollie1662 or Ollie1662@aol.com. Thankks


From what I've heard, it sounds pretty awesome but I can't stand it when I can't hear the vocals. I don't know if it's the quality of the songs I have but it seems it's like that. Also like Fish said, some stuff doesn't sound finished. and a little cluttered together.

[Mute Print]

The album finally came in the mail. I'm ripping it to my computer now.

[DepthsOfDreams555]

I wanted to pre-order it so I could get the vinyl but I ended up just getting it from Best Buy.

[axeslinga_32]

when i listen to this album i think... thursday must really like U2 and the cure.

[form]

I should listen to it, I've had it for like 3 weeks, but I don't wanna :-/

[Pazz]

I'm listening to it right now.

I can upload a CD rip, if anyone who has the webrip wants it.

[form]

I think I'll listen to it right now.

[Luxor]

The Other Side Of The Crash... best Thursday song ever? I think it might be.

[Society Sellout]

Other Side is definatly one of the strongest songs on the album and one of my favorites.

The bass is much louder on this album compared to any of their previous. I'm sure this was intentional and also think it was a good move. The bass lines of thursday have always been very good but are usually drasticly over shadowed, in the mix, by the guitars. Moving the bass up definatly allowed for new sounds and feels to come forth.

[form]

Meh, its alright, I listened to it yesterday, didn't really catch my attention.

I prefer old Thursday>>>>new.

Especially live, thats so awesome.

[cobert]

I prefer older stuff too, but this was still very good.

[DepthsOfDreams555]

I prefer older stuff too, but this was still very good.

That's exactly how I feel.

[SunnyDayRealEstateAM]

I think this is better than Waiting and War All The Time. But Full Collapse is better. Still A City By The Light Divided is amazing and better than most stuff out there right now. At This Velocity is my favorite Thursday song.

[Sep]

I finally have this!

I'm listening to it for the 4th time all the way through now. I think The Other Side Of The Crash is actually the weakest song along with Counting. The only part that stands out is the "don't look awaaaaaay" part, which is amazing.

Telegraph Avenue Kiss <3. I love the keyboards and lyrics in The Lovesong Writer and At This Velocity is just incredible all the way through. I would have likes some more back up vocals throughout the album though.

Oh and Tuckers drumming is amazing as always. But I think because of the production it just doesn't stand out as much. Same for Geoff's vocals.

[Puma]

How awesome is "Running From The Rain"? That song is incredible.

And the demo of "Telegraph Avenue Kiss" was ages better than the final product, I think.

Awesome CD though.

[SunnyDayRealEstateAM]

I've said this before in the H/E Forum but I think A City By The Light Divided is to Thursday what You Come Before You is to Poison The Well. They both intended to make their sound different and expand their ideas.

[cbmartinez]

Eh, I don't really think so. You Come Before You was really a huge change for Poison The Well and showed them completely ditching the sound that had gotten them popular. Thursday has kinda embraced the whole major label, big band thing and kind of basked in their popularity. Definitely an incredible album though. Their second best in my opinion.

[guevaraFunk]

not bad...its different...they couldve done better

[lunchforthesky]

im going to see them on sunday. anyone got any idea what their set list is on this tour.

[SunnyDayRealEstateAM]
