Manchester Orchestra - A Black Mile to the Surface (July 28, 2017) Album • Page 122

This got delivered as I arrived at work. Screw me. Dropping out of this thread until I hear this. Can't handle everyone's happiness haha.

 

MO did that with the photobook that comes with the 7" vinyl. They had it at $15 for a while where it was like $35 everywhere else online and a week later they bumped it to $20. I scooped a copy.

 

Shreds circles around it.

 

I'm really glad this Counterparts bit is spreading across the site like a virus.

 

I have no problem coming straight out the gate after finishing my first listen and saying this is my favorite record from them.

 

Had to pause my first listen earlier. Just got to The Wolf. Man.

 

should I know who counterparts are?

 

What does the melody to the mistake sound like? It's killling me

 

Actually just listened to these guys for the first time. Enjoyed it.

 

If you know, you know.

 

Billy Joel Movin' Out

 

Well I don't, so I guess I must rectify that.

 

you don't have to, really. it's a dumb inside joke that came from the 1975 thread.

 

chorus.fm meta jokes

 

When he starts singing "You lift that burden off of me" on The Maze, it gives me Bon Iver vibes and I love it.

 

if only :'(

 

I can't wait to hear this. I guess reading about everyone loving it on first listen will have to tide me over.

 

How did you finally listen?

 

Ah, ok. I appreciate you clearing it up for me!

 

Full disclosure I haven't listened to the single yet, but I do like Counterparts.

 

Definitely not my favorite album of theirs, but that's just due to my taste in layers and production. Not necessarily last place or far from the favorites. Still an incredible album. Best taken as a whole with good headphones for sure. Not really a singles or throw random songs in a playlist kind of album. Glad they added this to their arsenal though.

 

How hard are u right now

 

This album is absolutely incredible. Tears and goosebumps were had.

 

Though I didn't shed any tears, it's easily the most I've enjoyed a MO record.

 

'The Moth' gave me straight up goosebumps.. Wow.

Album might take the top spot for me in their discography.
