PO: THURSDAY "Common Existence" LP w/ download cou

[brad]

Is it hard to get their older stuff?

i'm pretty sure waiting is available here on VC still and war all the time is available at vvinyl.com

full collapse will be tougher to get. but i hope it gets a better treatment with a 10 year old repress or whatever in two years.

This album is killer! Thursday has been going nowhere but up since War All the Time, and this may now be my favorite album of theirs. Great job fellas!

Wow yeah that is almost Ten years since FC dropped. I think either Thursday or Victory would do something for the 10th anniversary seeing as big as it's been.

i will agree though...i am loving common existence.

just an awesome record.

alright so i just got back from seeing thursday and they had it for sale and of course i grabbed one.

the cover and gatefold look fucking beautiful. comes with a download (which i'm sure everyone knows by now)

no booklet but the lyrics are printed on the gatefold - which really does look great

1st 4 songs on side a, next 4 on side b, final three on side c

side d is not "you were the cancer" lyrics but it has four beautiful doves on it - and actually...i just noticed...wrapped around the label it has, "it's the slip of the surgeons knife, and the darker crimes of common existence"

label on side d says...

"deidicated to the memory of rose "peg" lytle, Stefano Pedulla, Alfred J. Peterman, and David Foster Wallace"

then;

"We hugged. You asked what was happening

and i didn't tell you we were on death's program

but instead that we were going on a journey,

one more, together, and that you shouldn't be afraid,

when it left, death didn't even

close our eyes.

What are we? you asked a week or year later,

ants bees, wrong numbers

in the big rotten soup of chance?

We're human beings, my son, almost birds,

public heroes and secrets.

- Roberto Bolano"

i don't think it's 180 gram but i'll compare it to other 180 grams i have and see tomorrow and will give it a listen tomorrow to see how it sounds.

all in all - i think it's beautiful and excellent job to thursday and Epitaph. Great job on the vinyl.
