Manchester Orchestra - A Black Mile to the Surface (July 28, 2017) Album • Page 37

The production of ILAV is fine. It's not anything to write home about, but it works for the songs. That album feels so bare and moody, and I feel like that gets reflected in its production job. I'm glad it doesn't sound so polished or beefy. I'm not sure that would work for the album overall with songs like I Can Feel Your Pain, Where Have You Been, Sleeper 1972, Golden Ticket... I think the songwriting on ILAV is strong enough to give those songs a punch without needing to beef up everything in the mix.

 

Ahhhh!!!! So exciting

 

now I just wait patiently for the North American Tour.... yea right! give me those dates!

 

Going to be away from my computer/phone from 11:30 a.m. til 1:30 p.m. so will likely miss announcement. But I don't think it's coming near me anyway, so it's double depressing.

 

what are some highlights from the Bad Books records and RAGC stuff? keep in mind im not a huge kevin devine fan. he was entertaining live, but ive tried so many times to get into his recorded stuff and cant.

 

@Micah511

 

I never have been able to get into Bad Books. I like all the artists involved so I thought it was something I would naturally like.

 

I'm the same unfortunately.

 

I revisited bad books II this weekend and really enjoyed it. I wish they blended Andy and Kevins sound more rather than it sounding exactly like a KD song or exactly like an Andy Hull song

 

I think they do that a little better on II than they did on I. But still I agree with you

 

I'm right there with you with Kevin Devine. I can't get into his solo stuff but love Bad Books. Below are my favorite

Bad Books:
You're a Mirror I Cannot Avoid
You Wouldn't Have to Ask
Please Move
Forrest Whitaker
It Never Stops
Pyotr
Petite Mort
42

RAGC:
ALL OF IT.

 

yea I do too.. I also think the production is great on II which is cool

 

i'm bummed i missed that bad books/front bottoms/weatherbox tour back in the day. mostly because it would have been another chance to see TFB and weatherbox hahaha

 

Looks like it's at The Complex... what happened to shows ever being at In The Venue?

 

37 pages in two weeks? Wow, I didn't realize people still liked Manchester Orchestra this much.

 

the brand new thread kids needed something else to do

 

Tabernacle on a saturday night to close out the tour, yes please.

 

so amped to get tickets to this tour. MUST GET PRESALE!

 

no wisconsin booooo.

 

Or you know... people can really like multiple bands?

Moving on: Who's going to the worcester date with me

 

They used to come to update New York constantly

 

i'm joking!!!!!! i know it's early but i thought it was obvious!!!

and of course brand new fans can like multiple bands. thrice, manchester orchestra, kevin devine...

 

Maybe not enough coffee this morning


Also you're forgetting mewithoutYou!

 

I really wonder if they will be able to sell out the Fillmore in Philly thats a pretty big venue. Menzingers did it but they are a philly band.
