Manchester Orchestra - A Black Mile to the Surface (July 28, 2017) Album • Page 147

Whenever I listen to it in my car a bit I'm like, yea it's really great. Then I put headphones on when I get home and I'm
Like holy shit this is the greatest album I've ever heard

 

We're pushing hard for late August!!

 

I approve this message

 

Def agree. You really hear all the weird layers with headphones
I catch something new each listen.

 

Stoked, can't wait for the inevitable US tour ayyy

 

Yup, it's a completly different listening experience

 

I wanted to... but I'm just hanging out with the kids tonight. But tomorrow at the emoji movie ;) :/

 

This is super good, definitely the most I've liked one of their albums on first listen.

I have no idea what most of these songs mean though or what the album is about as a whole.

 

Has it been detemrined that Nate Reuss is the higher set of vocals in the group choir on Maze?

 

Finally got to listen this. I very rarely get to spend time alone with music nowadays, but I really hope I can carve out some time for this one in the future. My first listen through was quite the experience. A very impressive release for these guys. I can't wait to uncover all of the all of the little details on further listens.

 

I can't decide what my favorite song on this is. Is it Lead,SD? The Wolf? The Grocery? The Silence? The Maze? Is the best part of the album the "wooooo" in The Mistake? Or is it the "ITS JUST A REFLECTION" part of The Silence? Or the part where it goes quiet and then the synths and bass kick in real sludgey on The Wolf?

 

Damn it, I should have asked Andy at the signing today about what song Nate sings on. Instead of just, "Uh, the album is amazing."

 

That's so him, I can recognize his voice pretty clearly in there

 

I don't want to rank the songs. I feel like it's just meant to be listened to front to back (I played the first two singles way too much).

 

Yes it is.

 

The singer from group love is in there too.

 

Apparently the singer from group love is on 3 songs according to someone on Reddit

 

Really is an incredibly album. That closer would be amazing live. I would love to see that with an extended outro as someone suggested earlier

 

Billy Joel or not, I really love the mistake. In one of the interviews andy said the beginning of the song is supposed to feel like you are in a waiting room and then when the synth punches up it's supposed to feel like falling

 

i keep thinking I'm hearing someone else sing at the end of The Silence but I'm not 100% sure

i really need to invest in nice headphones

 

Yea I could see them absolutely losing it at the end of that song, and me absolutely losing it watching them absolutely losing it

 

I thought I heard babies crying or something in the background of two songs. Skeeved me the fuck out earlier. Not sure if anyone else heard that. I may just be crazy

 

I'm extremely interested in how these songs will fit into a setlist. I'd love them to do what's TBS did with the Tidal Wave tour - just play the whole record front to back first, then play a set of older songs - because it would be hard to mix and match stylistically. But I doubt they'll do that, and am super interested how these would flow with their previous work.

 

this thread moves too fast jesus christ i cant join the convo cuz im about to reply to something then realize im 8 pages behind

 

as someone who went to that tbs tour i think that is a terrible idea. i mean this album is better but a band taking an hour to play a bunch of songs a small fraction of the crowd is actually familiar with is a drag
