Thursday's "war All The Time"

[oneeighty]

I remember posting a couple of years ago on TBR that I thought War All The Time was one of the worst albums that I had ever bought.

 

I've changed my mind; it's pretty hott as albums go.

 

Now, my question; are they Canadian?

[Prometheon]

No, they're from New Jersey. And they're a very talented band.

 

That's actually one of my favourite albums ever. I know it's hard to get over all the stupid screaming at first, but the musicianship is very solid, and their lyrics are quite good.

That's what overwhelmed me; the screaming.

 

The reason I asked was because in my War All The Time CD I could have sworn I got some sort of 'Thank You for supporting Canadian music' leaflet, but it might have been a dream, as I can't find it now.

 

So, is Full Collapse worth investing in?

Thursday is pretty mediocre. I'll throw on War all the Time every now and then though.

[Prometheon]

Yeah, all of their CDs are decent at the very least.

[Shiri]

They're alright, I've only heard single songs by them, not albums.

[trufflepig]

their new cd is up on their myspace page, fyi

I'm a huge fan of Thursday, and this is one of my favorite albums ever I think.

 

I remember the first time I heard the opening notes, I got chills.

[saturnine]

i liken them to the second coming of christ.. musically.

you've got to be kidding.

Now that I'm thinking about them, when I bought "Full Collapse", I couldn't get past "Understanding in a Car Crash" for about a week, because I didn't think the album would live up to that song.

 

Then I head "Cross out the Eyes" and "Paris in Flames"

[MuttersomeTaxicab]

Thursday's live show is amazing.

 

Their albums I can dig for about two weeks, and then I find my interest wandering.

 

That said, if one digs War all the time, then full collapse should be a dandy time.

[icantremember1989]

ive played many shows in nj with them. theyre great guys.

[rumpleteazer17]

I enjoy their Five Stories Falling EP. And I love them live, just saw them 2 weeks ago with the Taste of Chaos tour.

Thursday are awesome live. Also, Full Collapse is a very, very solid record. I would probably say that i like it more than War All the Time. "Tomorrow I'll Be You," off that record, however, is unbelievable. Especially the last minute, what an epic way to end an album.

actually, yes; yes, i am.

I love Thursday but i am frightened. I think the new album will be shit.

 

 

And as for Full Collapse, i hated it the first two or three times i heard it. It takes getting used to i thought.

That is truth.

 

Easily my favorite part of a Thursday song.

[betterbutterfly]

I prefer "Waiting" as far as Thursday albums go.

[AnOceanPearl]

Waiting is pretty sweet.

 

I got lucky and picked it up at a 2/30 sale at HMV one day.
