City by the Light Divided by Thursday

$4.00 - $14.00

This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. The fourth album by New Jersey emo outfit Thursday, CITY BY THE LIGHT DIVIDED shows a striking new maturity. A loosely knit concept album partially inspired by a car accident that claimed the life of an old friend of lead singer Geoff Rickly, the album has a haunted, emotionally-charged lyrical mood that's matched by the wider stylistic range of the songs. First single, "Counting 5-4-3-2-1," is the most immediately accessible song the band has yet offered, closer to the melodic indie rock of Death Cab For Cutie than to the cathartic post-hardcore of the group's earlier records. As a whole, CITY BY THE LIGHT DIVIDED sounds like the work of an older, wiser band moving beyond the limitations of their early style.
