Thursday Band • Page 154

Definitely underrated. Geoff's singing took a leap forward, At This Velocity is a choice live cut, Autumn Leaves Revisited is one of their most epic closers, We Will Overcome has some of their most interesting composition/musicianship, and I can't believe Into the Blinding Light is the least played song from it on Spotify, because it's fierce.

 

A City by the Light Divided has always been my favorite Thursday album. I don't see that ever changing.

 

Remember when everyone thought the production was garbage because you couldn't hear the vocals?

 

Running From the Rain has such a huge chorus.

 

I get a kick out of how my perception of time (and time between releases) has changed. I remember how long the wait seemed between War All the Time and A City... and now there are artists that haven't released anything in 5+ years and it feels like just yesterday. I guess I'm getting old.

 

ACBTLD is their best album, my favorite, and actually perfect.

 

I didn’t care for ACBTLD for a long time aside from a few songs, and WATT remains my favorite, but city definitely has my favorite production.

 

I was one of those people and I still kind of wish the vocals were mixed differently hahah

With that said; I’ve definitely learned to appreciate the record a lot more over the years. Sugar in the Sacrament is incredible.

 

Same. "Remember" and "thought"? Ha I still think the vocals are buried.

 

They are but that doesn’t make the production garbage. It’s one of the reasons I love the record.

 

2006 me would disagree But 2019 me absolutely agrees. I just think it was ultimately a mistake that held the record back but what do I know?

 

I also think we've probably heard a lot more records in the time since that make a similar choice to put the vocals further back in the mix. So I've at least become more accustomed to it, whether I think it's always a good choice is maybe another matter.

 

Common Existence needs more love.

 

MCR is playing festivals and we’re arguing about production on a Thursday record it’s 2007 all over again.

 

Now let's talk In Reverie...

 

it’s perf

 

I know it's an unpopular opinion but this is my favorite Thursday record.

 

mine too

 

Thursday has like the most impressive growth in a catalog out of all the ppl and bands!

 

Is there any better song when angry at someone than You Were the Cancer? [Well, maybe Cancer Bats' Sorceress.] Although admittedly I'm at a time in my life now where I don't need to find solace in that kind of music the way I used to.

All that to say, there are some really hard hitting songs on that album, and as everyone I'm sure anyone replying to this thread would say, they have such a great catalogue, with every album having a lot to offer.

 

I will never forget the moment during the first time I ever saw them when the ambient, electronic intro to You Were The Cancer was playing and I realized what they were playing and ascended this life. This was at one of their new years shows in 2016 and I was really hoping they'd play it, but one of the people I was with said they'd only played the song live once or twice before and not to get my hopes up. Obviously, they played it, and what was funny is I realized they were playing it before he did. Regardless, it was truly a spectacular moment that I will never forget. One of the band's absolute best songs.

 

Time's Arrow gets me every single time. Circuits of Fever too. The whole album flows so well together. Ending it with You Were the Cancer is an incredible way to finish.

 

Time's Arrow is one of my least favorite songs on the record and probably in their discography tbh.

Still a pretty good song though

 

Haha, it's one of my absolute favorites. Especially after hearing the "sketch" version on Kill the House Lights.
