Chapter Thirty One: A New Decade - The Verve
Words and music by The Verve
From the 1995 album A Northern Soul.
Watch on YouTube.
The title was fitting of the time skip in the story - fast forward a decade since the Thundercats arrived on Third Earth - plus the lyrics were fitting of Jax's drifting days, for the most part.
Chapter Thirty Two: Heavenly Nobodies - Lush
Words and music by M. Berenyi
From the 1996 album Lovelife.
Watch on YouTube.
The Thundercats learn you can go home again, sort of - but not everyone back "home" necessarily wishes for their return. The song covers the idolizing of heroes and celebrities, which seemed fitting of the storyline.
Chapter Thirty Three: The Slim - Sugar
Words and Music by Bob Mould
From the 1992 album Copper Blue.
Watch on YouTube.
Just when the Thundercats think there's slim chance their world could be turned upside-down by the greatest of tragedies, it is. One of them leave us and the rest are left behind to grapple with the loss, which is exactly what the song deals with. Sidenote: Copper Blue is my favorite record ever. If you get a chance to listen to the entire thing, do. I never tire of it.
Chapter Thirty Four: Your Ghost - Kristen Hersh
Words and music by Kristen Hersh
From the 1994 album Hips and Makers.
Watch on YouTube.
Hauntings are never easy, on the living or the dead.
Chapter Thirty Five: Shadow Play - Joy Division
Words and music by Joy Division

Even a lost soul can get stuck in a rut.
Chapter Thirty Five Co-Theme: On Your Own - The Verve
Words and music by The Verve
From the 1995 album A Northern Soul.

This song seemed to sum up the emotion of the storyline so far, so it got added.
Chapter Thirty Six: Put It Behind You - Keane
Words and music by Keane
From the 2006 album Under the Iron Sea.
Watch on YouTube.
Indeed it is time to move on, at least for the living.
Chapter Thirty Seven: Vision Valley - The Vines
Words and music by The Vines
From the 2006 album Vision Valley.
Watch on YouTube.
The future takes vision, but Cheetara doesn't like what she sees. The song title also gives a name for a part of the Astral Plane where psychic energies abound.
Chapter Thirty Eight: The Beginning of the End - Nine Inch Nails
Words and music by Trent Reznor
From the 2007 album Year Zero.
Watch on YouTube.
Careful plans for completing safe Trials for Tygra are shattered when their enemies reveal a collective effort and show strength and power like never before. Is this the beginning of the end for the ThunderCats?
Chapter Thirty Nine: House That We Used To Live In - The Smithereens
Words and music by The Smithereens
From the 1988 album Green Thoughts.
Watch on YouTube.
The ThunderCats may not live to see New Thundera, now that they are at the mercy of their worst enemies. The Lair in ruins, what comes next for our heroic felines?
