Search - Thursday :: Kill the House Lights (W/Dvd)

Thursday's b-side, demo, interlude, live, and remix galore

"This record basically marks the return of the band to victory records (as you will see in the documentary on the 2nd disc dvd included) while showcasing some of the great songs that surprisingly didn't make the cut for some of their old records (first 3 songs), as well as some odd takes on Thursday classics. Some tracks are interludes like: "Roar of Far Off Black Jets", which is a pretty quiet like 2 minute instrumental in the vein of "Arc-Lamps, Signal Flares...", and is my favorite track on this compilation right now along with the heavy anthems: Ladies And Gentlemen..." and "Panic On The Streets of Health Care City". Oh, and "Dead Song" in contrary to its name, is quite loud and insane! All in all, an incohesive yet good set of songs.



The DVD is exceptional, and is hands down, worth the price of this whole set alone. It contains over 45 minutes of concert footage, and a fantastic very very well well made documentary that is around 2 hours long (about) with interviews from band members and many other people that have been a critical part of the bands history from the very beginning up to this point in time, old live footage since their first show, and so on. Their are some nice extras as well, but this whole package will for sure please any hardcore Thursday fan and is a good reference to the bands history... Perhaps they shall be "the next nirvana" like they were suppose to be ;)."

Easily worth the money

"Track 1 could be the best song Thursday has ever created. They could of sold an entire album with this song. It worries me to think that they have to top this now.



This is far from a sell out cd to make money. This was made out of love for the fans.



Thursday has always been one of my favorite bands, but I didn't know much about their history and how they came together. After watching the dvd, I've got a lot more respect for the work these guys have put in touring and putting in the extra work to always be on the cutting edge.



The dvd was really well produced and well worth the money."

A Great CD/DVD for the TRUE Thursday fan.

"This CD/DVD from Thursday is really great, although the songs don't seem organized, starting with 3 unreleased ones, following with some old(added intro)/live stuff, then some new stuff and finally some remixes, it's still amazing from start to end. Aside from such a great CD you will have a freakin awesome DVD with a documentary about the band from its humble beginnings to what it has become now, directed by Steve Pedulla himself with Geoff Rickly as his personal assistant, haha! Additional to the documentary you will have about 11 live performances of the band which let you see and listen to the amazing intensity Thursday offers in it's live performances. The money for this CD/DVD is definetely worth it, so what are you doing? BUY IT!"
