Thursday - No Devolucion
A first listen to what is to be Thursday's 5th official release left me a bit confused. This is because I have no idea how to really feel about it. It's good, the songs are solid and what could be expected after "Common Existence", in that it is not much like it at all. It expands on the spacey, echoey sound Thursday has been toying around with for years.
However, with that being said it is just missing something. Granted these are two of the latter tracks, but coupled with another stream of "Past and Future Ruins"there is a glaring difference form previous efforts. There is just no urgency in the music, no in your face aggression this group has been known for. So on one hand you have so far a few good sounding songs, but on the other where's my Thursday? Maybe the rest of No Devolucion will provide us with satisfaction. Although does the world need another typical Thursday record? Is this change needed for this 'scene'? This has thrown me for a loop and I hope it is resolved soon enough.
