Thursday is great. I loved War All The Time and I hope this turns out just as well.

I'm sure this won't do as well commercially as War All The Time (not that War All The Time did particularly well saleswise, although I'm not sure of that). Musically, anything could happen.
As someone stated months ago in a previous topic, current radio is too obsessed with "hear-me-scream, I wanna be Eddie Vedder" post-grunge and "copycat girly elitist feminine indie/garage" to be too into talented emo-punk, unless you're poppy enough to hit #1 on TRL consistently (Fall Out Boy) or you are Weezer.

This is probably the most rocking Thursday single I've heard and is quite different. This may finally be the song that breaks them out big with Top 20 material. I remember Understanding In A Car Crash and Signals Over The Air doing sort of well, but this fits much better with the music out currently.

I still think the singer has a feminine voice.

I still think the singer has a feminine voice. What's wrong with a feminine voice? I still see the Robert Smith comparason that was made during Full Collapse however. I think this will do better than the criminally under played Signals In the Air and the extremely underplayed Understanding In a Car Crash.

Well the hardcore label is obviously misguided. I'd agree with someone calling them post-hardcore, though I'm not even sure what that really means.

I always thought they were emo. Not like Dashboard emo but like Brand New emo, I guess. They're definitely not hardcore. I don't even know what post-hardcore is supposed to mean. Honestly, I think people just ran out of genre names and are just trying to reuse the ones they know. Post-hardcore, post-grunge, post-punk. Next thing you know we'll have to start using post-post-genres.

I think I'd define post-hardcore as music that's sort of transcended from actual hardcore, if that makes any sense. But I know some people who are mislead to thinking the genre's way more new than it is, when it's really been around since the late '70s/early '80s.
I will make an effort to give this a listen, though.

Thrice, for example, is often cited as a post-hardcore band, if that helps.
The synth is a great flourish on this song. This is the most streamlined, urgent, hard-rocking song I've heard yet from Thursday. It's my favorite song of theirs already. That being said, I have to wonder if their longtime fans will accuse them of selling out.

I guess I just don't understand why it's post-hardcore, in that I don't see what it has to do with hardcore at all and why it's apparently what came after it. It just seems like two random words that have really nothing to do with the bands that are apparently placed in the genre. But then, what hardcore are we talking about anyway? Old hardcore like Black Flag and the Minutemen or modern hardcore like Throwdown and Hatebreed? And if anyone can explain to me what those bands have to do with each other to deserve having the same genre label, that'd be good too.

Well, as I mentioned earlier, I don't really have a firm grasp on "post-" genres, myself. I know there's a documentary that's either out or will be later this year all about hardcore (mostly the early stuff), that I'd love to see. But I can totally hear more hardcore in Thrice (dramatically less in the new album, though) than I do emo.

This isn't bad, but it's not of the same caliber as "Understanding In A Car Crash" and "Signals Over The Air".
