For those keeping track, Thursday is my 4th favorite band. Ever since I randomly picked up a copy of Full Collapse right around the time it was released, these fine gentlemen have amazed with every new record. No Devolucion is quite different from any other Thursday record in the sense that it did not take a lot of loud guitars to make the album sound like Thursday. The ever increasing use of Andrew Everding and his keyboards has finally been featured with prominence on this new record. Not that the record doesn't contain those wonderful Thursday guitar sounds from Tom Keely and Steve Pedulla, and the awesome bass work of Tim Payne, but it just adds this depth to the music that they have been hinting at since City by the Light Divided. Geoff Rickly still is one of my favorite lyricist and vocalist, and does not disappoint here. Tucker Rule does what Tucker Rule does, Rock The Skins and he does it well. Thursday is one of those few bands that have a stud at every position within the band, and it makes for some fantastic music. Track 8 "Empty Glass" is stunning in its simplicity, but I love it soooo much. I would say its it between this record and The Boxer Rebelions The Cold Still for my favorite album so far this year.
Buy it Now!! No Devolución - Thursday
