Sort by: Rating | Release Date | Rating Date | Name5.0 classicThursday Common ExistenceThis album goes above and beyond all expectations for die-hard Thursday fans. The album was recorded using an analog system and it shows especially through the terrific bass response most notably on Last Call. I think that if A City By the Light Divided was recorded analog, it would have made that record sound a whole lot better. From purely a sonic and technical perspective, the album's production(Fridmann) and engineering are miles and miles beyond Thursday's last effort. On the songwriting side of things, everything and everyone is operating at full tilt. The chord progressions, guitar riffs, basslines, vocal melodies, lyrics and most notably drums are some of the best work Thursday has done to date. Personally I feel its better than my favorite Thursday album in War All the Time, but I would venture to say that if you actually take the time to listen to it and are more partial to Full Collapse, you'll find this album to be better than that as well. It seems like the most cohesive, interesting, and agressive Thursday record to date, hence my 5.0 and classic rating. Thursday continues to push the post-hardcore genre in a time where I thought everything that could be done with it, had been. Glad to see I've been proven wrong.
