Full Collapse

Main article: Full Collapse

Hesitant to join a larger label, but with full support from Eyeball Records, Thursday signed to Chicago-based label Victory Records and released Full Collapse on April 10, 2001, without much radio or television support, but in a way that the band had not originally intended. Full Collapse is Thursday 's second album and their debut on Victory Records.

A music video is a Short film or video that accompanies a complete piece of music most commonly a Song with lyrics " Understanding in a Car Crash " is the second track on Thursday 's second album Full Collapse and the band's debut single. The video for this song received heavy airplay on both MTV2 and what was then known as Muchmusic. The song gained the band a large underground following. A second single, "Cross Out the Eyes", would follow, but it received much less attention. " Cross Out the Eyes " is the second single from Full Collapse, Thursday 's first release on Victory Records.

Thursday was routinely upset at Victory Records over the use of the band's image and promotion, including the label's attempts to distribute Thursday-themed whoopie cushions. Flatulence humor refers to any type of Joke, Practical joke device, or other Humor related to Flatulence. ^[3] The band's newfound popularity and disgust with the label led to internal problems that bred the Five Stories Falling EP, a release the band used to fulfill contractual obligations with Victory Records. Five Stories Falling is a five-song EP released by Thursday in 2002 At live shows, the band routinely told fans not to purchase the EP, but instead to download "Jet Black New Year", the one new song found on the EP amidst live performances of four Full Collapse songs and the first song created since Full Collapse,^[4] a time during which the band almost broke up. "Jet Black New Year", the only studio track on Five Stories Falling, showed a darker side of the band that was only hinted at on Full Collapse.

The album's title, coupled with it being released approximately two years after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, led many critics to believe it was a political album; however, Rickly has denied this on many accounts, instead claiming that he is speaking about love being a war. Terrorism is the systematic use of terror especially as a means of coercion Love is any of a number of Emotions and experiences related to a sense of strong Affection.

“	We've decided to convert rumor into fact and lay it all out for all you good peoples. New Jersey's Thursday and Old Tokyo's Envy will come together to release a split LP+CD this fall, released by Temporary Residence Ltd. It will be a limited edition LP+CD set; there will be no separated CD or LP versions. Both formats will come in one package, and both will contain the same music. This means it may not be available in Best Buy, Wal-Mart, Circuit City, or most 'record' stores in the mall. But it will certainly be available at your local independently owned record store, while supplies last. We're not yet sure how limited it will be; maybe 10,000, maybe a billion (probably closer to the former, as we really don't have space for a billion LPs). In addition, there will be a deluxe, hand-printed edition that will be sold exclusively through our webstore. These will be screenprinted by hand, and will be limited colored vinyl editions.

Thursday uses the dove logo on their albums and merchandise. The dove is believed to have been conceived by Tom Keeley on a tour bus sometime before Full Collapse was recorded.

We can rise on the wings of the dove
See blue skies getting caught in the trail of all this smoke
We can rise like candles in the dark – yours always

As well as:

. " Cross Out the Eyes " is the second single from Full Collapse, Thursday 's first release on Victory Records. . . And the mourning dove gets caught in the telephone wire.

It is unknown whether these lyrics were inspired by the dove art or vice-versa. Since the dove's conception, however, it appears on every disc that Thursday has released in some form, though it is not mentioned lyrically aside from "Cross Out the Eyes". There is also a dove present in the "Cross Out the Eyes" video, which Darren Doane, in the commentary for XDOANEX, said was the hardest prop he's ever had to procure for a music video.

The band also has adopted a new logo – a red bullseye with a small chevron below it – for A City by the Light Divided.
