Thursday was a "screamo" band from New Jersey, fronted by
screaming vocalist Geoff Rickly and featuring guitarists Steve Pedulla and Tom Keeley.
Waiting (1999) and especially Full Collapse (2001), with the catchy
Understanding in a Car Crash, Standing on the Edge of Summer
and How Long is the Night, displayed a virulent
strand of emocore, highlighted by the vocalist's passion and by a uniform mood
of despair.
The somber mood of the September 11 terrorist attacks permeated
War All the Time (2003), that featured new keyboardist Andrew Everding
and pointed towards a more extroverted sound, basically transposing the
intimate angst of the first two albums into the collective psyche
(This Song Brought to You By a Falling Bomb, Division St).
Longer and more complex songs, and a shiny production, transformed the band's
sound on A City By The Light Divided (2006), separating the strands of
epos (Counting 5-4-3-2-1),
aggression (At This Velocity)
and atmosphere (Running from the Rain).
The last four songs (Telegraph Avenue Kiss, The Lovesong Writer, Into the Blinding Light, Autumn Leaves Revisited) showcased
a mature storytelling talent.
Dave Fridmann's production is the antithesis to Thursday's screamo.
Common Existence (2008), again produced by
Dave Fridmann, continued along the same path of reneging on their screamo roots,
and this time without much to offer in exchange.
Common Existence (Epitaph, 2009) was Thursday's fifth studio album.
