Album Notes
Personnel includes: Erin Farley, Sal Villanueva, Frank Giokas (guitar); Tim Gilles (strings); Joe Darone, Ton Schlatter (background vcals).
Recorded at Big Blue Meenie Studios, Jersey City, New Jersey.
Full-on punk rock from these New Jersey rockers and this Chicago punk/hardcore label on the former's sophomore full length. Thursday's commitment and energy are in full effect from the outset of this hyper-kinetic set, while their debt to their contemporaries (and some of their labelmates) is clear on such songs as "Concealer" and "Autobiography of a Nation."
Musicality and songwriting smarts combine on songs such as the incendiary "Paris in Flames" and the punk rock ballad "How Long Is the Night." Additionally, FULL COLLAPSE is bookended by a couple of soft, almost pastoral songs (the abstrusely titled "A0001" and "i1100") that stand in stark contrast to the hardcore mayhem that lies between. FULL COLLAPSE is a fully realized, cohesive set that mixes youthful energy with lyrical and musical zeal to intoxicating effect.
Industry Reviews
...Music so emotionally naked, honest and raw that it's the sonic equivalent of slicing your heart out with a dull knife...
CMJ (04/09/2001)
3 stars out of 5 - ...Melodic hardcore with enough verve and originality to be heroes of the Warped tour....if you wear black on the outside because black is how you feel on the inside, Thursday are for you.
