Manchester Orchestra - A Black Mile to the Surface (July 28, 2017) Album • Page 114

If you knew I was dying, would you share the wealth?

 

The sunshine is sort of what "be gone" should have been for brand new.

 

Seeing Where Have You Been live for the first time like this kind of ruined future versions of it for me.

Also, Tim kind of kills ILAVLAC songs for me, but I'll spare you guys that stupid rant..

Edit: I don't know how in the fuck I've never seen this video before but this is probably right up there with the 2007 version.

 

So a recent Paste magazine review of the album said The Mistake was like the same exact melody of Movin' Out by Billy Joel? And I can absolutely hear it...and can't unhear it.

 

Thanks for sharing this. I was able to grab the source audio for these and it sounds great, even though it's only 128 AAC.

 

That second video you shared is actually the only version I listen too.

 

Luckily I don't really know that song haha

 

I mean that melody is sort of old timing sounding so it doesn't surprise me, sort of sounds like a borrowed melody. Which makes it sort of a cool, different song for the band. The sunshine melody sort of sounds like a borrowed melody too.

 

I don't know the song, so not too worried about that, but I stopped reading that review after this line:

"2009’s Mean Everything To Nothing was the new generation’s answer to Pinkerton, with the 2011 follow-up Simple Math serving as the best Built To Spill album Doug Martsch never wrote."

 

Top 5 live songs of theirs from my experiences seeing them would be

"Where Have You Been?"
"Simple Math"
"Pride"
"Shake It Out"
"The River"

 

The album has a 96 percent on metacritic right now haha can't wait for pitchfork to knock it down to like an 80

 

Pitchfork:"Andy has only been a dad for a few years so clearly he can't write an album about fatherhood" 5.7/10

 

For a guy with only one kid, Hull's got the exhaustion of a Mormon patriarch

 

My fiancée loved the record too, she's a die hard Manchester fan not sure if that makes people feel any better about it

 

I'm honestly shocked that this hasn't leaked yet. Good for the band, though!

 

I want a lossless copy of this as soon as I can get it.

Everything people are saying about the production is making me more excited than anything.

 

It would be nice if I could listen to this on my 45 min drive to work tomorrow ;) or if the $100 gold bundle came with a two day early download.

 

I saw Andy tweeted 'I would suggest headphones' and thought for sure in the hour since I last checked the thread that it was out there. what a let down

 

Ditto.

 

INB4 someone asks which headphones Jason recommends.

 

I'm deaf in one ear so headphones suck

 

Why can't I hear this yet!?

 

I know! I feel like a kid, I'm so impatient for this album.

 

I'm purposely not making plans tomorrow night because I'm expecting to be listening to this.

 

I hope this doesn't leak. I can't listen to it until Friday night.
