I think Rolling Stone magazine gives music bad reviews for the attention. I dip into punk and emo from time to time and am usually disappointed. I liked full collapse forever ago and I heard this disc woudl be good so i picked it up. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. It isn't going to win best album of the century, but any douche bag that gives it a 30 is doing so for shock value only. Any review in the red has been made by a reviewer with a gross misunderstanding of punk music. A few more albums with this trend of maturation and they could very well make one of the best albums of the century.

This is a great album...not the best album of thursday(war all the time) but simply very good..keep up the good work..
Bobby K gave it an8:
A very solid piece of art by Thursday...riveting, haunting, eerie, cathartic, this album is tinged with Explosions in the Sky and Godspeed You! Black Emperor passages on some tracks. Still, Thursday's songwriting needs work, and this CD simply isn't as complex and beautiful as it could be.

A positively wonderful album, i wasnt sure at first listen but after seeing them live this has become my favorite album

Fuck Rolling Stone Magazine. I guess they think trashing this album will up their intellectual credibility.
Idioteque gave it a7:
Good Album, considering that I don't like scremo, or emo, however this a delightful exception! About OK.......It absolutly IS one of the greatest albums of all time. That fact as been consistently reenforced by countless music critics and RH fans worldwide.
TOTO gave it an8:
This album from thursday it's ok, especially if you don't think in other work done before, this genre has been listened before and that's all. Stop mention OK computer when you talk about this Cd just for one reason: It doesn't makes any sense, and Radiohead can not be the reference for every album in the world. Furthermore, Ok Computer is not that good (forget it, it was released on 90's, enough!!).
