Thursday - Five Stories Falling

There's music playing 
Though we dance to the beat 
Of our own black hearts 
And draw diagrams 
Of suicide on each other's wrists 
Then trace them with razorblades

An EP that shows off the ferocity of a Thursday live show. I'm going to miss seeing them live, always one of my favourite bands to see in person, but I guess I'll at least have this disc. The first four songs of the EP are all live tracks, and while not perfect versions of the Full Collapse songs, they have an emotional dynamic that can't be matched on record. The real appeal of this disc for me isn't the solid live renditions of album tracks though, it's the inclusion of, in my opinion, Thursday's finest song, Jet Black New Year. It's energy is infectious and could have easily gotten me in any pit... if I didn't hate that crap.
