Yet Thursday have consistently made more interesting music, recently dialing down the more irksome screamo tropes on an evocative split with Japanese mood-metallers Envy. Prior to that, frontman Geoff Rickly got a chance to indulge his more spastic urges via postmetal supergroup United Nations (co-starring members of Glassjaw and Converge). Now Thursday are primed for a big comeback, having hopscotched from Victory to Island to punk stronghold Epitaph. While Common Existence starts off on familiar ground via hyperactive one-two punch “Resuscitation of a Dead Man” and “Last Call,” the band ultimately manages to make evolutionary baby steps, from the addictive call-to-arms bridge of “Friends in the Armed Forces” to the dreamlike, echoic hum of “Circuits of Fever.” If they can keep it together, they may be on the verge of major reinvention.
