Album Notes
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.
Editorial Reviews
Atmospheric interludes, samples and strings add a far-reaching scope to their music that skillfully blends the fury and passion they're renowned for with a graceful, cinematic scope.
Kerrang
3 stars out of 5 -- [A] mightily heavy and punky album....The band also pay tribute to the epic, atmospheric glumness of The Cure.
Q
Fridmann guides screamo's best band into stronger and more eclectic territory -- and to their crowning achievement. -- Grade: A-
