New Thursday Album Early 2011

2010-07-08 by Comatorium. | 69 Comments
Thursday have announced that they will be headed into the studio to record their sixth album. Press release can be seen below.

New Jersey's volatile, avant-garde rock band Thursday have entered the studio to record their sixth studio album and follow-up to 2009's critically acclaimed release, Common Existence.

The band will spend the next few months recording at Tarbox Road Studios in Fredonia, NY with Common Existence and A City by the Light Divided producer Dave Fridmann (MGMT, The Flaming Lips, Mogwai) and plan to release the new album in spring 2011.

"We've worked with Dave Fridmann before, but this is definitely the most we've ever clicked with him," says singer Geoff Rickly. "In style, this record feels like a radical departure from our earlier records but in substance it feels like a return. The songs are more vulnerable than they've been in a long time. Some of the song titles include "A Darker Forest" and "Little Sparks Against the Sun"... It's very atmospheric and mood oriented so far."

Formed in the basements of New Brunswick in 1997, Thursday helped usher in a new style of post-hardcore with the release of their debut album Waiting and 2001's groundbreaking, fan-coveted Full Collapse. Over the last decade, the band has released the essential albums War All the Time, A City by the Light Divided and Common Existence, influencing bands and recruiting fans from around the world with their signature style of innovative, melodic-hardcore infused rock. Thursday continues to break ground and grow with each release by constantly pushing their boundaries and exploring the depths of their brooding sound.

Since their release of the long awaited Common Existence, Thursday have opened themselves up to a whole new audience of fans by headlining shows with acts like Dillinger Escape Plan, Converge, Bring Me The Horizon, Touche Amore, La Dispute, Young Widows, The Dear Hunter and Fake Problems, all while issuing a not-so-subtle reminder of their relevance in today's music scene with their hyper-explosive performances and inimitable style of making the ceiling sweat.

Each album as it came out became was my favourite at the time, besides EC which sort of came to late as my interest was changing to a lot of different genres.

Overall though i think it's more like

ACBtLD > FC = WAtT > CE

love this band to death though, they're the reason im on this site and actually got into music at all

Hardly. War is catchy as fuck and has great songwriting. Full Collapse gets a bit samey, and I just can't get past the production on A City

WATT > FC = CE > ACBTLD > Warning

Pretty stoked but I wish they'd try a new producer to really push them, like Ross Robinson. The guy they've used for City and CE sucks, in my opinion. Dude ALWAYS brings out the best of any band in every album he produced. The guy they've used for City and CE sucks IMO

my ranking of thursday albums starts with Full Collapse and then works its way chronologically. Want
something more like Autumn Leaves Revisited. I liked that direction on City.

I don't think I could pick a favourite record of there's. Take the experimentation of Common Existence, the rawness of Full Collapse and the atmosphere of A City... and you've got the perfect Thursday record.

By thursday standards it was an awful album. Besides one or two songs the record is a throw away.

Full Collapse is still their best. With War All The Time and Common Existence following.

I can agree with that. FC has some well written songs on it...poor Geoff can't stay in tune to save his life though. Him trying to sing is like nails on a chalkboard.
