'''''Full Collapse''''' is the second studio album by American [[post-hardcore]] band [[Thursday (band)|Thursday]]. It was released on April 10, 2001, through [[Victory Records]], to whom the band signed after leaving [[Eyeball Records]]. With the addition of guitarist Steve Pedulla, recording sessions for the album were held in November 2000 at [[Big Blue Meenie Recording Studio]]s in [[Jersey City, New Jersey|Jersey City]]. [[Sal Villanueva]], who served as the producer, the production team and members of different bands contributed additional instrumentation to the recordings. ''Full Collapse'' is considered a [[post-hardcore]]<ref name="AP.netreview"/><ref name=SMreview2008/> and [[screamo]] album.<ref name=NYTSummer/>
 
Preceded by a two-month United States tour, the album's release was promoted with a short series of shows. The band toured the US in 2001, with [[BoySetsFire]], [[Waterdown]], [[Rival Schools (band)|Rival Schools]], and [[Saves the Day]]. At the end of the year, the band released [[music video]]s for "[[Understanding in a Car Crash]]" and "Cross Out the Eyes". In early 2002, keyboardist Andrew Everding joined the band. They went on tour with [[the Movielife]] and [[Sparta (band)|Sparta]] and appeared on the [[Warped Tour]] soon afterwards. Around this time, the band made it known that they had several issues with Victory Records and its founder, Tony Brummel. Thursday has performed the album in its entirety on tours in 2011 and 2018.

===Issues with Victory and subsequent touring===
In May 2002, as Thursday's signing to [[The Island Def Jam Music Group|Island Def Jam]] had become imminent, the band released a statement through their website detailing their internal problems with Victory and reasons for leaving. The band said they had higher aspirations for the album art for ''Full Collapse'', which were undone by Brummel's desire to keep costs down. During a visit to Victory's offices, they also discovered that for promotional purposes, the label made Thursday-branded [[whoopee cushion]]s, which were intended to be distributed to fans at the Warped Tour. They were produced without Thursday's consent and so were discontinued. The band continually emphasized the need to communicate regarding art direction and promotion, but were allegedly ignored by Brummel and told that Victory was too big to run everything past its artists.<ref name=PNstatement>{{cite web|url=https://www.punknews.org/article/3601/thursday-exposes-victory-officially-announces-island-signing|title=Thursday exposes Victory / officially announces Island signing!|publisher=Punknews.org|author=Heisel, Scott|date=May 22, 2002|access-date=February 5, 2018|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170803215453/https://www.punknews.org/article/3601/thursday-exposes-victory-officially-announces-island-signing|archive-date=August 3, 2017}}</ref> Rickly recalled that upon signing, the label told them that they wanted Thursday to be their own [[Pop music|pop]] iteration of Saves the Day.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://in-your-ear.net/features/interviews/thursday/|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20050113045354/http://in-your-ear.net/features/interviews/thursday/|title=Thursday The Language of Thursday|publisher=In Your Ear Magazine|author=Edwards, Melissa|date=October–November 2003|archivedate=January 13, 2005|accessdate=April 8, 2023}}</ref>
 
In a meeting with Brummel, he claimed that Thursday was not living up to his expectations, with the band's statement explaining: "Instead of Tony's relationship with us being based on a love for music, it was based entirely on numbers." However, by late 2001, Brummel began showing more concern for the band and called more frequently regarding sales. They soon learned that Brummel planned to sell part of Victory to [[MCA Records|MCA]] and, as Thursday's contract only allowed them to leave Victory for a [[major label]], began reciprocating new-found interest from prominent labels. By early 2002, the decision to join Island was made as MCA began promoting ''Full Collapse'' as their own,<ref name=PNstatement/> and Thursday found itself in a legal battle with the label. Rickly would later note: "When we parted ways with Victory, we got our asses kicked. [...] Victory's lawyers were so strong."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://idobi.com/news/thursdays-victory-treaty-causes-uproar/|title=Thursday's Victory Treaty Causes Uproar|publisher=[[Idobi Radio|idobi]]|author=Fiasco, Lance|date=July 10, 2007|access-date=February 18, 2021|archive-date=February 18, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210218153318/https://idobi.com/news/thursdays-victory-treaty-causes-uproar/|url-status=live}}</ref>

''Full Collapse'' was met with generally favourable reviews from [[Music journalism|music critics]]. Chris Collum of ''[[AbsolutePunk]]'' wrote that "Thursday are something special, something that is almost unique, and this album–of their five–does the best job of getting that across." He said that the album's "biggest draw musically" was the way it moves between the "harsh and abrasive to the ambient and soothing in a matter of mere seconds".<ref name="AP.netreview"/> Punknews.org founder Aubin Paul said the album "delivers on the promise" of their debut "and then some". He added that there was "some serious intensity here, great powerful riffs, and a singer who can actually sing, and scream."<ref name=PNreview/> [[Sputnikmusic]] staff member DaveyBoy said that while it wasn't the "most immediate album of all time", listeners would be "rewarded as Thursday get the best out of themselves here and hardly put a foot wrong". He praised the musicianship as being "top notch throughout, while the vocals are pleasingly satisfactory".<ref name=SMreview2008/>
 
''[[Ox-Fanzine]]'' reviewer Joachim Hiller found that Thursday had "two faces, which on the one hand comes across as super pop, [and] on the other hand relies on the 'Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde' principle when it comes to singing: sometimes gentle, sometimes screamy, then brutal".<ref name=Oxreview>{{cite web|url=https://www.ox-fanzine.de/review/thursday-full-collapse-cd-17445|title=Reviews: Thursday / Full Collapse CD|work=[[Ox-Fanzine]]|author=Hiller, Joachim|date=June–August 2001|access-date=May 27, 2019|language=DE|archive-date=February 19, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210219152044/https://www.ox-fanzine.de/review/thursday-full-collapse-cd-17445|url-status=live}}</ref> Stuart Green of ''[[Exclaim!]]'' wrote that the album "sounds sort of like a jam session showdown between [[Quicksand (American band)|Quicksand]] and [[Sense Field]]".

:''Full Collapse'' was a record that changed the course and shape of my life. We began touring for it in basements and [[VFW]] halls, [...] and ended up as a full-time touring band meeting hundreds of thousands of people with whom we formed deep and lasting connections. Time passes and we embrace new music and different goals but, ten years later, ''Full Collapse'' continues to move people and for that we are very grateful. This tour is a celebration of those times and the end of a chapter in the life of Thursday.<ref name=idobi10th/>
