Full Collapse is Thursday's second album and their debut on Victory Records. It combines hardcore influences with melodic elements and personal, emotional lyrics. Jazz sensibilities are sometimes noticeable in the guitar parts. The album helped to establish Thursday as an immensely popular group in the indie and alternative rock music scenes. Live cuts of Tracks 2, 4, 7 and 9 appear on the band's 2002 Victory Records live EP Five Stories Falling. There is also a Special Edition of the album, which includes the videos for the two released singles ("Understanding in a Car Crash" and "Cross Out the Eyes") and several Thursday-themed desktop computer wallpapers.

It reached #178 on The Billboard 200.
