Celebrating 20 years of being a band, Thursday took over two nights at Austin’s Barracuda Club last week for the full play through of 2001’s Full Collapse and 2003’s War All The Time. Â

These two albums are separated by only a short period of time but are immensely different, drawing strengths from divergent song-writing methods and emotional energies.

 Watching them performed back to back and getting to witness the feverish vigor of the Full Collapse crowd vs the pitch-perfect harmonies of the War All The Time crowd drive this point home splendidly.  Anthems like Division Street, Cross Out The Eyes, Signals, and of course Understanding In A Car Crash made this an impressive pair of nights to seek out music in Austin.Â
