Thursday Band • Page 178

I don't have a strong opinion on that, but here's an old vid of Geoff talking about the song:

 

Geoff doesn't really like that song much either

Source: Rank Your Records: Thursday's Geoff Rickly Explains Why 'Full Collapse' Is the Band's Best Record

 

thats the only song on ACBTD I dont like, I skip it every time. I just find it straight forward and boring for Thursday.

 

My only issue with acbtld at the time was the vocals seemed to be drowned out. It made sense to me - i knew Geoff was self-conscious about his voice. Even listening to it now, it feels like the vocal dial could have turned up like 1-2 clicks. No??? Just me? Alright, peace.

 

I like We Will Overcome, it's not one of my favorites from the album but it's still super fun

 

Did a run-through of the discography today, and here's my half-assed album ranking. Every album is good for different reasons. WATT captures the post-9/11 existential dread better than any other album of the era.

FC>WATT>ACBTLD>ND>CE>Waiting

Edit: There, I added Waiting. "This Side of Brightness" is still a jam, though.

 

I totally agree here

 

ND > ACB > CE > WATT > FC

I love Full Collapse and recognize its influence but it's undoubtedly their weakest in my eyes.

 

i cannot fathom thinking fc is their weakest

 

Y'all forget to rank Waiting?

 

well then, what is?

 

well, for starters, the album of theirs you didn’t rank haha

ND > ACBTLD > FC > WATT > CE > Waiting

 

forgot about that one, but yeah that'd be their worst

 

fwiw even common existence rules. band is great.

 

FC>ACBTLD>ND>WATT>CE>Waiting

But honestly the top four are all so good

 

WATT>ACBTLD>FC>ND>CE>Waiting

I need to run through the non-WATT/ACBTLD/FC discography soon.

 

ND - FC - ACBTLD - WATT - CE - WAITING

 

so fucking true. i'm even a little young to fully relate (was 9 when 9/11 happened) but i've always thought that as well.

 

I totally get why Waiting is at the back of everyone's list, and it's not one I revisit frequently, but that album is special in its own way.

Also, it looks like it's not on Spotify... wonder why.

 

WATT was the first Thursday song I ever heard so naturally the record roped me in. I’ve always felt a secret shame for not really loving FC lol.

 

Waiting isn’t on streaming because it was owned by Collect which went under. Same with No Devotions music. I’m sure they’ll be back up soon now that they’re on Velocity.

 

Seeing Thursday right around the time that FC was about to drop at a bar in PA with Breaking Pangeaea, This Day Forward and Piebald totally changed the trajectory of the music that I listened to. So that one holds a special place in my heart, even if WATT perfected their sound

 

It seems odd now, but I couldn't listen to that album for years because it reminded me of how awful everything was around that time.

 

ND>ACBTLD>FC>WATT>CE>Waiting

all rule

 

Waiting, yeah, or common existence
