Manchester Orchestra - A Black Mile to the Surface (July 28, 2017) Album • Page 105

Did you get an advanced copy of that album or something?

 

The record store in my town used to sell albums the Thursday or Friday before the official Tuesday release for years and years. With releases moving to Friday now, I don't know if they still get albums 4-5 days before release. Wondering if they have this in. Wouldn't matter because I'll just wait for my pre-order.

 

arcade fire leaked

 

I feel really bad, I tweeted the band the picture of it and they had it removed.. no way I will leak this

 

Yea I think I should have kept it to myself. You are right

 

You may want to lay low the next few days. Trust no one!

 

Just listened to the new songs for the first time. Serious step up over Cope.

 

Yea now when it leaks they may look to
Me haha

 

Okay so they didn't remove them, I wasn't looking in that "tweets and replies" section haha

I still deleted everything.

 

I'm sure they expected this kind of thing. Haha.

 

Rip it at 128 and transcode it. They'll never know.

This is not a serious post

 

If that happens, I have a small cabin in the middle of nowhere you can hide out in until this whole thing blows over.

 

"that's the guy that wore the wire to the listening party!"

 

interesting. Instead of seeking this out, I'm going to watch the Reflektor Tapes and hope that quenches my thirst.

Hopefully the pre-order comes early too.

 

This album is a grower? Didn't you just get this album a few days ago?

 

Yes? I think it's possible to say it's a grower when the first time I listened to it I was unsure but after the 10th or so listen it has grown on me a lot and I appreciate it more.

I don't think it has to be months or a year to be a grower.

 

Also, y'all asking for someone to leak the album...it comes out in five days. Relax. Go listen to Cope and complain about the mix or the powerchords or something.

 

Actually just listened to METN for the first time in ages. I used to adore that album but it fell off sharply. The only MO album I really love now is LAVLAC. Hoping this one is good.

 

its aging super well after only hearing it for 3 days

 

Would you say it has aged well then?

 

No reason to pick on BoldTitan like that.

It's a grower has always meant that it takes more than one listen. I get where he's coming from.

 

this is a no joke zone

 

I'm with @BoldTitan it's a grower for sure.

(Yes, having had it for four days.)

 

Honestly, my only problem with Cope is the mix. I don't mind the power chords or that's it's a rock album through and through. It was the first MO album I actually got into. I listen to SM and METN more now, but I probably wouldn't care at all if I hadn't checked out Cope.

 

Vocal performance is great on cope too
