Thursday Band • Page 19

please tell us. tell us... now.

 

How was common existence received? Listening to it now it's way better thank remembered

 

I've always loved it, but I remember there were some complaints about songs/production. Unfounded complaints.

 

It's great!!!!

 

I think CE is great. Some people seem to view it as more of a side-step in the evolution of their sound, but I don't think there's anything wrong with that. Still has a handful of really great songs.

 

I haven't listened to CE in full in a while, but the timing of the release probably had the biggest impact on its reception. Coming off of the extraordinary ACBTLD, it was hard not to be a bit disappointed at the time.

You Were the Cancer is a contender for GOAT Thursday song tho

 

fact
hope they decide to finally put it into their sets at the reunion shows

 

I know this will be unpopular, but I like CE just as much as ACBTLD. Beyond the Visible Spectrum might be my favorite Thursday song. Time's Arrow, Subway Funeral, Love Has Led Us Astray... all incredible songs.

 

CE feels like the most aggressive Thursday record but still had some interesting experimentation. It kind of feels like WATT part two in a way.

And yeah You Were The Cancer is incredible

 

They played it at one of the holiday shows back in the day... I wanna say 2010?

Thursday is one of a few bands where I really won't attempt to rank albums

 

pretty sure they've only played it at one or two shows ever, haha

 

tell us.

 

Geoff is playing solo kind-of-near-me on Saturday, but I'm afraid he's going to only play his solo material which I don't connect with at all. Thoughts?

Edit: actually found this setlist from last year; not too shabby Geoff Rickly Setlist at Maxwell's, Hoboken

 

Listening to Common Existence (and Thursday) for the first time (I know, I know. I know) and really liking it a lot. Sick drumming, and honestly not what I thought they were going to sound like. Not exactly sure what it is I expected.

 

"Beyond the Visible Spectrum" is so fucking groovy. Goddamn.

 

I would die if TA, Circa, and Glassjaw toured with them on this upcoming run.

 

last night he played time's arrow, this side of brightness, going to hell (solo song), his cover of usher's climax, turnpike divides, falling bomb, standing on the edge of summer, a song from the no devotion LP, and one more song i didn't know. he talked for probably half the performance, the non music part of the set was pretty fascinating and made it the most worthwhile

 

weird that you're going to one of their worst records (though still good) first, haha. check out a city by the light divided or no devolucion, their two best p easily imo

 

I wish I were you right now.

No Devolucion, Common Existence and A City By the Light Divided are amazing!

 

Holy shit, this is one of their worse records? Fuck yeah, haha. I'm alone in my living room rocking the fuck out to this. Can't wait to hear them when they're fully on.

 

Not everyone agrees with it being one of their worse records. At any rate--you'll probably dig all of their records.

 

CE>>Waiting imo

 

If anyone says FC is their worst record I WILL tackle you FYI.

 

Anything > waiting imo

 

I love waiting. It's raw as hell and sounds spectacular on vinyl.
