Common Existence - Thursday

Thursday

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

Want a film that's hip, loaded with attitude, funny and shocking at once, packed to the rafters with wild lowlifes? Skip Woods has delivered one, but about five years too late. We've seen everything in THURSDAY before, so you'd best enjoy this film without the baggage of seeing PULP FICTION - and that's a tall ask. Compared to FICTION or RESERVOIR DOGS , THURSDAY is as flawed as you'd expect. Spontaneous raps about Star Trek, the sadistically amusing torture of a helpless, bound man, and drug-dealer flashbacks all ring a bell. It's derivative, but it's still fun. Against the leagues of Tarantino ripoff's on the market, you could do much worse than THURSDAY. The day-in-a-life saga, and flexible pace are sometimes a blast. The violence makes you squirm and laugh, so at least it hits the mark, even when it aims low. And the havoc sown ...

Thursday - War all the time

Advantages: everything
Disadvantages: nothing

"Thursday's" third album "War all the time" is one of their best albums yet, considering the amazing lyrics, instrumental parts and just overall sound. It was released in 2003 and has to be one of the greatest albums released in that year. If you're looking for something completely different from the normal American post-hardcore band, than you've found it with this incredible album. Normally you can name your favourite songs from an album straight away and decide if you like the song at first listen. But not with this album. Every song is different and has a new undiscovered depth that you find the more you listen to it. For the workforce, drowning: This is one of my favourite songs on the album. Although there is some screaming, you can understand every word Geoff Rickly (lead singer) is singing. The guitar rift, combined ...

Review of War All The Time - Thursday

The Common Room, Sheffield

Advantages: Good atmosphere, long opening hours
Disadvantages: Not everyones sort of thing

It's not often that I am overly impressed by the new bars that open in Sheffield. They come and go frequently and often change names overnight. The Common Room is however one such place that I did walk into and say "wow!" because its discreet entrance offers no hint of what is to be found inside. Located on Devonshire Street next to The Forum shopping complex this is a place that lies right in the heart of the city centre's student quarter. The Forum shopping complex has built up a reputation in recent years as a place to hang out and be seen and there are many small expensive boutique style shops whilst The Forum bar is a frequent haunt of the city's pop stars (past and present) and you even might spot a footballer or too as well. The Common Room opened in 2006 and occupies the area above both The Forum Bar and the shopping centre ...
