yeah very powerful stuff. i think my single favorite moment in their discography is the very end of "Paris In Flames" when Geoff just lets if fucking rip. "WE SAW PARIS IN FLAAAAAAAAAAMES"
I am laughing at the idea that certain Thursday albums are better suited to mundane tasks, but only because I think this could be a fun game. "Dish washing time...seems like a job for No Devolucion, no brainer." Edit: I just remembered the first time I listened to Full Collapse was when I was cleaning/scrubbing down the bathroom to my first dorm room so maybe this is more apt than I thought originally
It's just not completely unprecedented, also given the fact that autumn leaves has acoustic passages and what not
Would love it if they come back to the same fan fare that Thrice and Saosin did. A new album next year would be insane.
CEs bonus tracks are frankly better than some of the album cuts, which isnt a knock on those songs its more a testament to how fucking dope those b-sides are
To take a life We all have our price The wife and kids sleep soundly in their beds You say you're defending me I'm untying yellow ribbons On every single tree I see Friends In The Armed forces means a lot to me, speaking of CE, because I have several friends that have gone into the military and come back radically different. It seems to be a common thing around here in my corner of the south, you either go to college or you join the military. Pretty much all of my friends that have been in the military have come back being far more aggressive, arrogant, paranoid, and frankly just....empty? I have respect for the soldiers that serve in the military, but I absolutely hate the military as an organization and what it can do to people. One of my friends, who has remained unchanged by the military thankfully, agrees that its a dangerous beast. Many Thursday songs mean a lot to me for specific reasons and Friends In The Armed Forces is the one that always really gets to me. I appreciate Geoff and the band for writing about such a corrosive topic
