I wrote this post on 12/15/2007 but post dated to 11/09/2007 to keep it with the other post in the archives you can read the full post here.
I'm finally making this post after a long time since I posted my last post about Thursday and their Kill The House Lights DVD/CD they put out.
I must be honest and say that I've made some big mistakes in that post and believed too much about what Keith said regarding Kill The House Lights. And I must say that he was so totally wrong about it!!
I stopped at Best Buy the other week and picked it up just to see what it was all about... and - quite frankly - to support Thursday, because I want them to stick around... (And to follow my own advice in my other post)

Yeah, so my response, which apparently you are waiting for according to your Twitter update.
Kill the House Lights has some great content. The first three songs are awesome and definitely showcase what Thursday is capable of. Other songs seem more like throwaway scraps on a mixing room floor. As Sketch for Time's Arrow is a really weak half-song. The other demo's and live versions are great, especially for fans, but I really don't think the rougher mixed versions of well-produced songs are going to win new fans or win back those disappointed by A City by the Light Divided.
The CD does give one hope that Thursday will be able to recover and continue to thrive as a a group. Returning to Victory is great because the band is freed from the shackles of corporate rock, but Thursday's success is not guaranteed.
I am still waiting until their next CD to determine if Thursday is still alive. Too many bands have a great CD or two, but the rest of their work is lackluster (e. g. Third Eye Blind). Kill the House Lights demonstrates Thursday's potential. Now Geoff and the band has to step up and release another solid album.
