i can't stand them, i could care less for this release.

[robotnerd]

people actually still like this band?

[Guest kevinb]

Pumped hopefully it's better than their last... i like their direction on the envy split so hopefully this is will be good

I love this band. Ive liked every album they have put out. I doubt they will ever get back to the greatness of Full Collapse but still definitely looking foward to this. Epitaph is making some great signings lately.

i've never been HUGE on thursday, always just kind of liked them, but with their direction the envy split and the few originals on Kill the House Lights - this should be very very good

[rhythmgtr5]

they are using the same guy who produced a city by the light divided i wish they'd use someone else. the mixing on that album was terrible imo

[brad]

this record could be very special

[monk0nuggets]

Favorite band of all time. Very much looking forward to this.

[gravitylovesdrunks]

only awesome track off of their last full-length was running from the rain, but that track was MOST awesome.

[bruins4ever]

Also my favorite band of all time. Extremely excited for this.

That song indeed is most awesome.

[skumbucket]

i thought the last album was incredible. and dave fridmann is one of the best producers out there, has been since he started working with the flaming lips.

[leerobert]

Can't wait.

I still don't get the hate on the last album. It was a great album soundwise and all the production that everyone bitches about was intentional.

[brad]

i'm sure i've said it before.

when i first heard ACBTLD i knew things would be different. The album really flowed nicely but it felt empty to me. and the production super muddy. I liked some of the songs live (atv, running in the rain, blinding light, sugar, alr) but I haven't been able to listen to the cd versions for a long damn time now.

that and I preferred all the demo versions to the real version. every single one of them.

I'm no music expert so I don't know how to express my disappointment with the studio versions. just they seemed muddy and really compact and 'small'. also, geoff's voice seems too much in the background on some songs (from what I can remember)

[monk0nuggets]

var ads = new Array("300x250-1.png","300x250-2.png","300x250-3.png");

var num = Math.floor(Math.random()*ads.length);

if(Math.floor(Math.random()*2) == 0)

{

if(Math.floor(Math.random()*2) == 0)

document.write('+':irfz9pyo]');

else

document.write('+':irfz9pyo]');

}

else

{

document.write('');

}

I'm not sure why everyone bitches about the production, it sounds fucking phenomenal.

Truth.

[mcm1610]

It was a great album soundwise and all the production that everyone bitches about was intentional.

Why does it matter if it was done intentionally or not?

Because that's what they meant to do, and it isn't the album-ruiner that everyone makes it out to be. Yea, it's not the clean production of WATT, and it's sloppier than FC, but they're a sloppy band. It works, so why all the hate?

[travis]

This album is awesome

[daniel]

Elaborate bitch!

It definately played a big part in ruining the album for me. I don't think it was sloppy at all. It was just way too over produced, and over compressed. Whoever mixed and mastered it treated it like it was a radio pop album. IMO production like that does not go well at all with a band like Thursday. I have a really hard time getting past it when I listen to ACBTLD.

[mynameistom]

This album is awesome

fully expected it to be. i think this could surprise a lot of haters.
