EP 90 - Thursday's Timeless War With Geoff Rickly

The Record Process

This week we welcome singer Geoff Rickly of the band Thursday to The Record Process to discuss the making of their legendary third studio album War All The Time. Officially released on September 13th, 2003, War All The Time marked the bands departure from Victory records, who had released the bands critically acclaimed previous album Full Collapse. War All The Time was recorded at New Jersey-based production house Big Blue Meenie Recording with producer and New York hardcore veteran Sal Villanueva at the helm. Throughout our conversation, Geoff shares some of his favorite memories from the writing and recording of the album, as well as the challenges he faces as a vocalist both in the studio and on the road at that time. He talks about what it was like tracking the album in a studio he had grown up interning at, and the visual elements he took inspiration from as a lyricist at that time. Geoff explains what it’s like listening back to the record over 20 years after recording it, and describes why he believes the period between the recording and releasing of the album is so special for artists.
