War All the Time by Thursday
War All the Time is an album by Thursday, released in 2003. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 8 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Signals Over the Air”, on 8 lists with a best position of #30.
War All the Time, Thursday's third album and their first for a major label, came out on Island on September 16, 2003, after the New Brunswick, New Jersey band had cut loose from Victory Records over how Full Collapse had been promoted. They started writing that November, then spent six months from January holed up at Big Blue Meenie in Jersey City with Sal Villanueva, breaking only for a run of shows in April.
The result hits like a siren in the dark: Geoff Rickly's voice cracking from croon to scream, Tom Keeley and Steve Pedulla's guitars churning and chiming, Tim Payne and Tucker Rule shoving hard underneath, and Andrew Everding's keyboards seeping into a few songs before he joined full time. "For the Workforce, Drowning" and "Signals Over the Air" went out as singles, and the album moved 74,000 copies in its first week, carrying the darker, screaming end of emo to number seven on the Billboard 200.
