I still think COPE is better than people give it credit for

 

COPE is an absolute jam. COPE is also easily their worst record. It's definitely a great record for the genre, but it pales in comparison to the rest of MO's discography.

 

I may have it over simple math, not really sure. I too love all 6 of their albums though.

 

Yeah, I didn't understand how amazing their discography was until I was prepping for A Black Mile, which obviously took their discography to completely new heights. Heck, COPE is my least favorite by a mile and it's still probably the one I'd most want to blare out my car windows.

 

can't argue with that. Starting to realize that this is probably my favorite band now.

 

I’m ready to say A Black Mile is my favourite Manchester Orchestra record.

 

I'm ready to say that you're correct.

 

same

 

I think you should take 9+ months to consider this statement before committing

 

is it your least favorite by....... a black mile?

 

You’ve done well.

 

I agree with this completely. Like, by far their worst record, but still a really good record. I have the deluxe version that features After the Scripture which is one of my all-time favorite Andy songs.

 

Simple Math > Black Mike

*ducks for cover*

 

yikes

 

Uhhh.

 

couldn't really love (@loudasallgetout) anymore, his trash opinions, they do suck

all love I just had to do it

 

Cope is the record I've listened to the most of MO. My big struggle with the band is that they don't make records I can listen to while I do other things - there's so much going on musically and I get lost in the lyrics and it's hard to say, work or read or drive with someone else in the car, or something else that demands my attention. MO has to be, basically, listened to while I'm doing nothing else at all. Except for Cope.

So I can recognize other albums are 'better.' They're deeper and more complex and more impressive works of art. But I've probably listened to Cope four or five times for every time I've listened to Black Mile, and twice for every time I've listen to Simple Math or Virgin or Mean Everything. Cope is my favorite, even though I know it isn't the best. If that makes any kind of sense at all.

 

Agreed

 

You both need to just stick to the all get out opinions haha :)

 

Black mile
Metn
Ilavlac
Hope
Cope
Simple math

Is my ranking right now. The bottom 3 will change a lot but the top 3 are set in stone.

 

If every song in simple math sounded like mighty than it would probably be my favorite..

I need sinful math!

 

Cope/Hope
Mean Everything
Black Mile
Simple Math
Virgin

 

Leaky Breaks > The Silence

 

sure why not

a black mile
mean everything to nothing
i'm like a virgin
cope
simple math
hope

the gold is the best song this band has ever written.

 

I love how this thread always just reverts back to ranking the albums and disagreeing about it. But I guess that really says something about the quality of all the albums if different people love different ones for different reasons.
