So as I was perusing my Facebook profile and going through all the bands that I'm fans of and checking up what's new with them... I came across something that was very exciting!
Some really great, long-awaited, news about Thursday's next release!
In exactly a week from when I am making this post, on February 17, 2009 Thursday is releasing their next CD... Common Existance... and as I have said before in a back-and-forth rebuttal with Keith and my own opinions I still remain very optimistic about this next CD release.
However, I am all the more eager for this upcoming CD release of Thursday's new CD Common Existence, because of the tracks that they have available for your listening pleasure on their MySpace page.
Before listening to these tracks, all I had heard of the stuff that they were going to be releasing was played in the background of interviews and touring promo vids... and to be honest, it made me lose a little hope in the direction that Thursday was going.
However, after listening to the released versions (on MySpace), all my hope and anticipation has been restored!
I can't wait for:
According to the discography the tracks that are currently available for listening to on MySpace are tracks #1 Resuscitation Of A Dead Man and #4 Friends In The Armed Forces... apparently Resuscitation Of A Dead Man is their digital single.
I discovered that Amazon MP3 had the song Resuscitation Of A Dead Man available for download free... I'm not sure if it's just a promo offer or anything... but you might be able to get it too!

I thought that was pretty awesome... to find a Thursday's single available for free...
In footage from Kill The House Lights Geoff said how cool he thought it was that back when they were just getting started people at the concerts knew their songs and liked the band... not because they bought their CD(s)... but because they downloaded their music from file-sharing networks.
And even though A City By The Light Divided seemed to turn off a lot of fans from Thursday I think that Common Existance might have the potential to bring many back!
I think I mentioned this before but will again here... that I initially wasn't too keen on A City By The Light Divided, but the more I listen to it the more I like it and see how it really pulls together much of their previous work.
So as it seems still -- at least so far to me, my previous prediction of Thursday not being dead (yet) still stands!
