Taken from a MTV interview with Thursday: “There’s so much new material that right now Rickly is considering releasing two new Thursday albums: a “really traditional, scream-y, heavy album,” and a keyboard-heavy “slower and epic sounding” second disc, similar to instrumental acts like Godspeed You! Black Emperor and Mogwai. But don’t line up at the record store just yet. The band doesn’t plan on releasing any of the material until late next year. “With these new albums, they’re only going to be finished when we’re sure they’re the best things we’ve ever done,” Rickly said. “And after all we’ve been through over the past five years, I think we’ve earned the right to take it easy for a bit.””
