I think this bands b-side collection is legendary, much like The Smiths or Jimmy Eat Worlds. Can't believe the amount of quality songs that never made it on an album
I absolutely love A Darker Forest and I'm pumped to see it added to a few lists in here. I don't see it get talked about a lot when it comes to that album, but that one is a top 5 song on No Dev for me, if not top 3.
10. Steps Ascending 9. Magnets Caught in a Metal Heart 8. Autumn Leaves Revisited 7. War All The Time 6. You Were The Cancer 5. Standing On The Edge of Summer 4. Past and Future Ruins 3. Running From The Rain 2. Understanding In A Car Crash 1. Cross Out The Eyes I could probably make a bunch of different lists and swap songs around, I'm not really satisfied with the order but whatever.
Magnets Caught in a Metal Heart was the first Thursday song I heard and it was an accident and Full Collapse confused me for a bit in the aftermath of that but like in a good way. I was gonna make a top ten list but idk. i've never ranked a bands top ten songs before as far as i can remember.
No Answers never clicked with me. It's weird, because I know it's a favorite around here and I want to love it, but I'd put it near the bottom of my No Dev rankings.
No Answers feels like THE Thursday song, ya know? Like, I feel like it shows off everything the band does so well. Its by no means by favorite Thursday song, but I get why its so well beloved. Hell even Geoff loves it and said its probably the best song they ever wrote,
Idk I don't rly get that feeling. It doesn't sound like much of their other stuff I don't think. If I had to choose a definitive Thursday song...oof...maybe turnpike divides honestly or you were the cancer
Kashers part, albeit small, is really great. Plus its just an interesting song lyrically and structurally. That guitar riff is wild. I always wanted Cursive and Thursday to tour together that wouldve been a good fit I think.
