A Silverstein/Thursday tour would fuck

 

This is fucking crazy, really never thought it would happen. And it's really, really fucking good. Definitely feels like a midpoint between Common Existence and No Devolucion in the best way. I hope there's no bad blood with the members who weren't involved with this one? Have not read the Culture piece yet

 

Sobbed in my car to this

 

THIS IS SO GOOD

 

I've listened to this song way too many times. No notes, love everything about it.

 

Just gonna leave this here from the Vulture interview, struck me on many levels

 

Also this quote from Tim Gilles, the engineer who worked on Full Collapse, about that record is so prescient haha:

 

I don't think they would have moved forward with this song and have tried writing if there wasn't any bad blood.

 

I think they've just moved on but someone will correct me if I'm mistaken

 

From the Pitchfork news article:

Thursday Return With First New Song in 13 Years

 

Interviews with Geoff are great as always but man I wish there was an interviewer that would dig more into his ACBTLD - ND thoughts haha. Like we've heard his feelings about FC and War sooooooo much now

 

that heavy bridge part sounds so out of place and like butt. they should have left that out... fine song though overall.

 

I wasn't expecting it, and I think it's perfect. The heavy part.

 

super solid song, not blowing me away but definitely cool. heavy part rocks

 

they should never bury Geoff's voice in the mix again. he sounds *incredible* during the 2nd verse. kinda wish we could get a new mix of ACBTLD someday. i know it was intentional to make a 'wall of sound' back in 2006, but man, those are great songs with every component just utterly crushed in the mix.

 

Disagree wholeheartedly

 

Can you dm me your version?

 

talking shit on ACBTLD is a quick way to get blocked

 

I like the mix on this song. Stu's production really fits the sound of this band well. I love ACBTLD but I think it could have been ever better with a mix like this.

Seriously it is so awesome. Never thought it would happen but so glad it did! It sounds fresh but familiar.

Me too!

Yeah the artwork is really cool.

I loved the songs and felt like they could have really shined with more of a raw mix. The difference between the studio and live versions is night and day. I would really like to hear a different studio mix of the Lovesong Writer. It is one of my favorite songs by them and I love the live version of it so much. I mean I would even be happy hearing the Signals version of it again. That was an amazing moment to watch.

 

don’t make me tap the sign

 

People couldn’t appreciate Dave Fridmann’s style then and they can’t appreciate it now I guess. Even Common Existence has such a simultaneously raw and atmospheric feeling I’ve still never quit heard anything else like it it’s the most unique sounding album the genre has ever produced

 

Yeah, I really love the way Common Existence in particular sounds and I know that's not a very popular opinion.

 

It’s a correct opinion

 

I promise I am not hating. I actually feel like Dave Fridmann got the formula down on Common Existence. The title track is in my top 3 Thursday songs all time, as is the Lovesong Writer. I know it isn't relevant to this discussion but the other song is Tomorrow, I'll Be You.

 

I love the production on ACBTLD, like Into the Blinding Light is fucking orgasmic with how it absolutely batters the listener at the end
