    I can't imagine not listening to this front to back. The other albums I can listen to individual songs. There's no way I'll be able to do that with this

    This is it for me. I like how the "bigger" songs are all the closers of the individual acts

    Kind of a lowkey Kevin Devine reference imo

    For people who love the vocals on this album I highly recommend the right away great captain live album, vocals are mixed really similarly

    “the whole world’s ending” “honey it already did” Prestigious

    I don't think it's just hype...The Grocery is my favorite MO song.

    I don't understand how quickly I went from indifferent on Lead, SD to "man, that's a cool fucking song"

    The Wolf is the soundtrack to a slo mo scene in a superhero movie before some crazy fighting and destruction goes down.

    I'm stuck in a 8 hour course at some hospital and it's killing me that I can't listen to the rest of this (made it through lead SD on the drive here)

    I've picked up on some references to other artists in the scene, but I can't place a few of them, I just recognize the lyrics sound similar

    "lost my shape" in The Silence could be a David Bazan reference?

    can't be made fun of Prestigious

    One listen was enough for me to spend a bunch of money I don't have on upgraded tickets for the Worcester date.

    Finished

    Gr8 album. I like layery, complicated Manchester Orchestra but that's only because I've just gotten into them recently, whereas my roommate whose loved them forever is going to take his time.

    I just always had people showing me songs I was never crazy to finally dig in.
