I was a Thursday fan. Full Collapse was my album. I last saw them live a few weeks before War All the Time was released, and I remember loving the show. Jonah Matranga (Onelinedrawing, Gratitude) opened and joined them on stage (he also contributed to their album that was about to come out). Fast forward two years. I’m psyched they’re playing a CBGB benefit. I get tickets, and throw on Full Collapse to prepare. Nostalgia factor aside, I couldn’t get in to it at all. Was I angrier then? Has my musical taste changed? Why does the screaming suddenly sound funny? Am I older? Wiser?…

The show was still great, though I found myself only getting excited for the hits. I’m always happy if a crowd is lively and I get to leave a show sweaty. They played some new songs (off the album they’re currently recording) which did nothing for me, but the crowd seemed generally into them.
