Thursday Band • Page 228

Tomorrow I’ll Be You is a top 3 thursday song I agree with that. I just don’t think it’s necessarily night and day between seeing those songs live and listening on record. It’s different, as any live band worth their weight should be giving listeners a different experience live, but the recorded versions are absolutely revolutionary in their sound and vision and pushed the genre into territory few bands have been able to explore since. it’s one of my favorite albums of all time and in terms of production it is my absolute favorite album of all time and the best example in the 00s outside of like, Radiohead records I can think of an album that uses the medium of recording as an instrument itself.

take the example above. Into the blinding light is the absolute best track to use as an example for many reasons. The main one being that the entire concept of the song is how the feeling of overwhelming light and brightness can be just as claustrophobic and scary as infinite darkness. Look at me with a straight face and tell me that concept isn’t perfectly executed on via the production. Using the production to pull the underlying meaning out of these songs is what it’s all about. The lovesong writer is the most isolating sounding song of the bunch and reflects the psyche of its narrator in its production style. This stuff, to me, is nothing short of genius and what production is all about.

 

Guess I gotta do a Thursday discog run. Haven’t listened to common existence or no devolucion in a decade at least

 

Common Existence has insanely good production. and just a highly underrated album in general. friggin Circuits of Fever.

 

circuits of fever has been a big one these past few days

 

Unintended long term effects and subway funeral are the ones lately but as he climbed the dark mountain, last call, love has led us astray, and you were the cancer are the pinnacle of that record.

 

I was never able to into CE, but I’m going to check it out now since it’s been like 10 years since I listened

 

beyond the visible spectrum is top five thursday songs for me

 

I've come to the conclusion that they really just don't miss with their closing album songs (I'm counting HLITN). Autumn Leaves, Cancer and HLITN especially.

 

Waited all day to relax and really enjoy the new song. It's blissful. Welcome back lads

 

Never really been into this band. I listened to Full Collapse a few years ago and it wasn’t for me. Saw the new song and checked it out on a whim and damn, I really like it. Because of that, I checked out No Devolucion because I thought maybe their “newer” stuff would be more like the single. 4 listens back to back to back to back later and you could say I’m addicted. It’s got a proto-Keep You pbtt vibe that I’m really digging.

 

I1100 is a great song a great closer and stands with the rest. I get why how long is the night is treated as the closer but fuck I love I1100

 

Keep going backwards and by the time you get back to full collapse you’ll appreciate where they came from

 

every album that came after full collapse is better than full collapse and yet full collapse is still absolutely one of the greatest post hardcore albums ever made

 

Fuck yea welcome back, this rules

 

New song is amazing.

FC, WATT, and ACBTLD are pretty much perfect and up there with the best 3-album runs of any band in the scene. I've never had the same connection to CE and ND that others seem to, though I think that's more of a me problem. My listen of ND yesterday after hearing the new song for the first time was quite excellent.

 

New song is so good

 

I need that 7”

 

Wish someone could capture the smile on everyone’s face when they listened to this for the first time and the screams kicked in after the bridge.

 

High school had two types of people in the scene: people that either loved Geoff’s voice or those who fucking HATED it

 

Speaking of high school, our video morning announcements had the Understanding riff as the intro song

 

I thought Geoff's voice was offputting as hell when I first heard it, now it's one of my favourite voices ever. crazy what time can do

 

The FC to CE run is incredible. FC is and always will be my favorite. I was a freshman in high school…Full Collapse, Tell All Your Friends and LIFTED are probably the 3 most formative records of my life.

 

I actually do still like Waiting too, Dying in New Brunswick and Streaks in the Sky are great

 

Leaving off ND on the incredible run is insane
