This landmark third album from New Jersey's post-hardcore innovators, Thursday marks a pivotal shift toward accessibility without sacrificing intensity. Following their acclaimed debut Full Collapse, the band's move to Island Records brought a refined production that balances melodic sophistication with their signature aggressive edge. The result is a sonically complex yet immediately engaging record that showcases their evolution as songwriters. Standout track 'For the Workforce, Drowning' demonstrates their knack for crafting memorable hooks, while guest contributions from Cursive and Onelinedrawing add unexpected depth. Essential listening for fans of intelligent, uncompromising post-hardcore.
