Manchester Orchestra - The Million Masks of God (April 30, 2021) Album • Page 339

this made me revisit MMOG which i was pretty out on when it first came out. i think i discounted how good MMOG is. dont think there's anything on this better than MMOG

 

I didn’t really go back to MMOG, but I really like this.

Forgot just how much I love Andy’s voice. Lose You Again is breathtakingly beautiful.

 

Mmog and TVOV both are great for different reasons. But MMOG is probably a bit more easier for me to binge. Both are excellences additions to the bands discog.

Revisited MMOG last week for the first time in almost two years and, yeah, still a snoozer of an album for me. I forgot what most of the songs sounded like an was immediately reminded of why

 

How do you feel about Black Mile?

 

I like Black Mile. Not as much as I used to. I think Black Mile was, for the most part, paced better and a little more lively to me. Feel like MMOG just mostly dies out after Bed Head.

With that said, I think I’m over this band trying to be concept-heavy and trying to sound grander than they actually are. I jokingly come in here saying things like “Let it rip again boys,” but I actually mean it.

That isn’t to say I want a Cope Part 2. I think, for the most part, this band was at their best with ILAV and METN. Though there was a healthy balance of styles on those two first albums. If they could add a hint of the atmosphere from their recent material, that’d be cool, but I’m over how muted this band has become.

 

Listened to the EP for the first time on an airplane *chefs kiss*

 

Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky are like shooting stars?
I could really use a wish right now
A wish right now
A wish right now

I tried making a top 10 MO songs list and it was too difficult. I have a general idea of Top 5, but after that the next 5 have like 20 songs all vying for it.

The live versions of I Can Barely Breathe, Pride, Dinosaur, Shake it Out and others would also push those up a lot.

 

Off the top of my dome:

I Can Barely Breathe
Colly Strings
Pride
The River
The Silence
Where Have You Been?
Alice and Interiors
Shake It Out
The Moth
Golden Ticket

 

Can I count Alien/Sunshine/Grocery as one song?

 

This is similar to what I say when people ask me my top 10 movies but I say "Can I count Fellowship/Two Towers/Return of the King as one movie?"

 

I gotta say, almost six years removed from the release of Black Mile, I don’t think the payoff of The Grocery hits the way it should after The Alien and The Sunshine. I realize I’m likely in the minority with that opinion, but oh well

 

My Top 10 would be something like this

Where Have You Been?
Leave it Alone
After the Scripture
I Can Barely Breathe
Everything to Nothing
Shake it Out
The Silence
I Can Feel A Hot One
Every Stone
Pensacola

 

I dare one of you cowards to rank every single song Andy Hull has ever been a part of.
