Manchester Orchestra - A Black Mile to the Surface (July 28, 2017) Album • Page 107

Doesn't say what song!

 

Lead, sd is such an phenomenal track

 

Vocal performance is so good on this, very excited to dig into these lyrics.

 

Are the lyrics in the book?

 

From the liner notes my initial thoughts were right that there are actually no orchestral instruments it's all guitars, bass, drums, keys, and vocals.. so impressive that they could capture this epic cinematic sound. But it makes sense bc they took what they did with Swiss army man and applied it here

 

Yup

 

Also I don't think giving the sunshine the last spot was fair on my part. It's a cool little song that ties with the alien really well

 

The grocery is probably my favorite song


Edit: this will change a million times

 

I can't wait to hear this.

 

I don't know why, but that is stunning to me.

 

Still no shipping notification :(

 

My 4th edition pressings of ILAVLAC and METN are out for delivery already. No sign of Gold Bundle.

 

My METN order shipped Friday and is arriving today. Assuming the bundles are shipped today/tomorrow for a release day delivery.

 

Yea I know ha, it says courtesy of Atlantic records. He was on the Joyce manor album that came out last year too. I'm thinking it's just a harmony or something, bc there is really any parts that don't sound like Andy on the lead.

 

Nate on that Joyce Manor album was such a treat. He's barely there, but just the thought of him and Barry working on that melody for Angel in the Snow is fun.

 

Listening to this again, the maze is so amazing. The harmonies are so thick, it's like a choir of Andy's.

 

The Wolf did not sound like what I expected from the opening drums and guitar.

 

fun. did open for manchester in 2009 soooo

 

holy crap i'm looking at the tour dates and that show was at a 400 cap in baltimore at a venue i have a season pass for, damn

 

Maybe he's just in the quiet talking parts.

 

The life insurance policy part is definitely a highlight

 

Wouldn't be surprised if he was on some of the harmonies on The Maze

 

In some ways the alien to the grocery feels like one long epic song

 

So I can't find any reference to anyone else having a physical copy of this album right now Haha i wonder how many copies were available this weekend to the world, my guess is very few and I just happened to be in a different state at the right time. So strange to me... maybe the alien set this whole thing up

 

Either that or most people just don't think to go to their record store early to see if they have it yet...I made reference earlier in this thread about my local record store selling albums 4-5 days in advance, but they never put them out (always behind the counter) and it was kind of 'if you don't ask, you don't know' situation. I felt like I was one of the only people in town who realized they did/do it (I don't know if they still do it since the official releases moved up to Fridays).
