Listen free to Thursday – Common Existence (Resuscitation Of A Dead Man, Last Call and more). Other than that, the song is excellent and closes with a thundering outro. I guess it depends on what one feels about its lyrical content. Although Common Existence might not straddle this divide quite as successfully as that earlier effort, it’s evident from the off that said enviable ability remains. This Message Edited On 05.04.09. Album Rating: 4.0Just some accompanying notes: This review went through quite a few re-writes because the album has grown on me ever since I first listened to it when it was originally released. It's actually quite strange as my tastes almost always lean towards the mainstream and 'Full Collapse' is probably Thursday's least mainstream release. It's painfully mediocre. Produced, recorded and mixed at Tarbox Road Studios, Cassadaga, NY. Album Rating: 3.0Good review. Love Has Led Us Astray (demo) Lyrics: 4. IsItLuck? Album Rating: 3.0Very well-written, man. 11 tracks (45:03). maybe i'll give it another shot. Thursday is not timeless in the sense that you can't just push play and enjoy... there is an element of 'I need to be in the mood for this.' And I"m very annoyed that changing one's rating is such a hassle now on the god-awful new site. Kane, I don't think you've said an album I liked is "ok" for a good month or so. Tweet.

Circuits Of Fever Lyrics: 9. Bands: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z. Common Existence rubs off as a gritty, wishy-washy album with some of Thursday’s heaviest songs yet. After listening to their newest album, it feels like Thursday is a band resurrected. Label: Epitaph - 7009-2 • Format: CD Album • Country: Europe • Genre: Rock • Style: Emo, Post-Hardcore It could well feature in my year-end list somewhere. Thursday's true return to indie-dom, Common Existence is a good fit for Epitaph. You Were The Cancer is clearly the best song, but I agree - first three and last two are best. Although initially a leading light in the screamo/post-hardcore scene, Thursday began to transcend that movement in 2006, when A City by the Light Divided introduced an emphasis on dynamics and melodic nuance to the band's sound. Album Rating: 4.0Early Thrice doesn't do it a great deal for me either Tom, but there is something about 'Full Collapse' which really caught my attention. 'Common Existence' Deluxe Edition, featuring 5 previously unreleased tracks, available online 9/15 Visit us! I only have War All The Time; how does this stack up to that album? I liked this album but I only heard it once from the stream. While Thursday spearheaded the popularization of emo in the ’00s, it also managed to rise above the mall-punk fray by staying rooted in the passion and progressiveness of ’90s post-hardcore. Love that song. Listen free to Thursday – Common Existence (Deluxe Edition). Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound OffLies! Album Rating: 2.5 | Sound Offalbum sucks, band is now dead. Three limited screen printed editions have been made available exclusively through web stores … DavID, shoosh. lol what can i say It's most probably the passion & intensity with which it is delivered. Album Rating: 4.0Fair rankings Kane and I guess it's not too dissimilar to my ordering... Maybe Common Existence will grow on you also. In fact, I feel pretty much all of Thursday's albums are growers actually. Although (as stated in the review) 'Times Arrow' is perfectly placed as a change of pace, while I like the way 'Circuits...' segues into 'Subway Funeral'. At first listen, the album is among the better of their five in total, as it has discernable, almost sing-along melodies while … T hursday’s got a few undeniable strengths that suggest they will outlive their peers in the screamo scene: unflagging experimentalism, an erudite and talented lyricist, and a nuanced approach to composition that comes through even in the hard, fast numbers that … Subway Funeral Lyrics: 8. We’re then taken into “Past and Future Ruins,” which almost sounds like it could have fit on Common Existence. What's your x > y > z with Thursday?

When I wrote the majority of the review, I had it rated as a 3.5 (which may show). Though every body seems to enjoy it on here, so I may as well give it ago! Also, is it just me, or is A City By The Light Divided, weirdly recorded...like, it sounds more tinny than it should?This Message Edited On 05.04.09. Every twist & turn on that track is brilliant and it really shows the maturity of the band. Album Rating: 2.5if by solid you mean boring, than yea. Just that sound...all the songs sound the same to me. Oh and give me a few more listens and I would think '... Cancer' would surpass '... Mountain' as my highlight track. I have reviewed them all if you would like to read my reasoning On February 17th, Epitaph will release Common Existence, Thursday’s fifth studio album.

Bands: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z. The record is somehow forward-thinking, further pushing the more atmospheric approach glimpsed at on the band's split with Envy last year, yet speckled with retro stylings of previous albums. I can honestly say that I like every song on this album except for "Time's Arrow", and "Circuits of Fever" depending on my mood. Thanks Ali. I really don't like Full Collapse, much like I don't like early Thrice. The first 3 and last 2 songs are very good on this album. It follows their 2007 CD/DVD Kill the House Lights as well as this year's Split with Envy, which interestingly enough is about to be released on cassette by Academy Fight Song.. … DaveyBoy EMERITUS (4)Combining their post-hardcore sound with a touch of the mainstream & a little experimentat...AnomiaProductions (4.5)Common existential despair...CoreySzn (4.5)Much more accessible than their previous album but still packs the punch that their earlie...VikkiH (4.5)Thursday seem to have realised what it takes to stand above the rest in Post-Hardcore and ...

I did just see your change from 3.5 to 4 though, so we are alike in our opinions. I haven't heard their debut. Thursday have recently experimented and partly succeeded with this approach within their split with Envy, but this album stretched more boundaries and felt like an accomplished work. I agree completely. Your review just reminded me. Both sides prove they still know what good post-hardcore music sounds like. But after many listens, it has grown to about a 3.8, so I’ve gone with a 4 expecting even a little more growth. It’s one of the heavier tracks on the album and will warm the hearts of fans who haven’t been enjoying Thursday’s new direction. It's not the same Thursday I used to love, but the energy is still there and it feels like they have found a second wind, a new life. Those echoe'y faraway vocals used on a couple of occasions are interesting and really work. This may be an embarrassing fact to admit, but 'You Were The Cancer' was one of the songs that needed to grow on me. I still occasionally have a song like 'Cross Out The Eyes' or 'Paris In Flames' enter my mind and it would be months since I have heard either track. Common Existence is largely an enjoyable record that gives as much attention to mood and melody as muscle and might. It’s been stopped for so long. Great review Davey. But will it demand the multiple listens required to … But You Were The Cancer is a tremendous song. Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound OffWar All The Time > Common Existence > A City By The Light Divided > Full Collapse Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound OffMy main problem is actually that rather than a grower, I've become bored of this as I loved it first go and overplayed it way too much. Album Rating: 2.5Iluvatar is right. This is a very bad joke but it was very true for 2001’s “Full Collapse”, a classic in the genre. We're finally getting back on the same page. But my favorite is strangely "Beyond the Visible Spectrum". Common Existence washes the bad taste of Sage Francis and Escape the Fate right out. Common Existence washes the bad taste of Sage Francis and Escape the Fate In keeping with Thursday's evolution into a fierce alternative rock group, Common Existence is a somewhat streamlined release, with Rickly's screaming vocals only serving to punctuate the brief moments between more melodic segments. Resuscitation Of A Dead Man Lyrics: 2. I like 'Beyond' as well to some extent and it definitely serves its purpose. Album Rating: 4.0Tom, we are fairly opposite here mate...

Music Reviews: Common Existence by Thursday released in 2009 via Epitaph. Thursday - Common Existence review: Combining their post-hardcore sound with a touch of the mainstream & a little experimentation, this should satisfy both older & newer Thursday fans.

I haven't heard this yet. By the way, I meant to ask earlier (ask generally, that is); Does anyone know what the significance of the cover photograph is? Thursday is pretty much the last band standing of the post-hardcore/screamo scene - goodbye The Used, whatever happened to Glassjaw, and Finch, well reforming was always going to end badly.So after parting company with Island, a 'hiatus' that seemed to be code for disbanding, a bizarre split album with a Japanese post … Now older and wiser, Thursday are back with Common Existence, their first for Epitaph after leaving a mutually damaging relationship with Island, and second with Dave Fridmann (Mogwai, Flaming Lips). While most bands become more accessible as they age, Thursday's fifth album Common Existence (Epitaph, 2009), again produced by Dave Fridmann, was their most difficult, both in terms of song dynamics and in terms of instrumental scores. Thursday have revealed the track listing to their forthcoming Epitaph Records debut. I actually think that excluding their debut, War All The Time is their least effective LP.
