Thursday Band • Page 32

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"

 

Yeah, aside from Understanding, that was the one moment that made me knew I loved this band.

 

What Thursday record should I listen to while I mow the lawn. First one who responds wins

 

Full collapse is good for this purpose IMO

 

Done, thanks!

 

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

 

This thread has inspired me to listen to "Empty Glass" while I clean the dishes.

 

i meannnnnnnnn "this song brought to you" is literally just a piano

 

idk two stripped down songs six years apart doesn't make it not kind of a novelty i think

 

It's just not completely unprecedented, also given the fact that autumn leaves has acoustic passages and what not

 

Yep, sure is

 

When we going to a Thursday show together

 

when they tour!

 

Get Brandon also we can have a wild ass night

 

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.

 

Isn't Geoff currently working on a new No Devotion album?

 

Why didn't know this board was a thing? I can talk Thursday all damn day. :)

 

This discussion has me really wanting to listen to CE.

 

Yes, they were in the studio testing out Stuart's new studio it seems.

 

Make sure its the version with the bonus tracks, those are great as well.

 

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

 

A lot of those bonus tracks originally appeared on the Doves 10".

 

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

 

I wish I was able to get one of those Doves 10". Such great songs.

 

I never listened to them where should i start?
