Black mile= simple math= everything > cope > hope

I don't feel I can justify ranking I'm like a virgin because I never got into it *shrug*

 

I fucking love Cope and will defend it until my dying day.

 

Other than Cope, I can honestly argue that any one of their albums could be ranked No. 1 in my rankings. I used to go back and forth between METN, Virgin and SM. I do think that Black Mile is the best thing they've ever done, however, it's not always my favorite to listen to. If that makes sense.

 

Looking at these rankings looks like I need to defend hope more haha

 

it's good but it's the one album from them that i'm just never in the mood to listen to. can't really explain why i just always gravitate towards the others.

 

MO doesn't have any bad records. They all just fall in different spots on the "amazing" spectrum.

 

I just listened to Hope at work and honestly think I fell asleep. That’s not necessarily a criticism.

 

This is such a gracious response to the plague of inevitable album rankings. That being said...

A Black Mile
METN
Simple Math = Like a Virgin
Hope
Cope

 

I can only fall asleep to records I love.. its real weird

 

METN
Black Mile
Virgin
Simple Math
Cope/Hope

 

well thats just incorrect now

 

Yup. I think a lot of the albums are close when I rank them, but Leaky Breaks is the clear cut obvious best closer. What a song.

 

Think we will get a METN 10 year tour?

 

They'll play it at The Stuffing, like with Virgin, but no tour.

 

They don’t seem like the kind of band that would do an anniversary tour but I could definitely see them doing a one off, at like The Stuffing or something.

 

I think they’ll play it at the stuffing, but I’m not sure they’ll do a full tour.

 

Guess that makes sense. I’ll hace to try to go

 

Yeah I really want to try to go this year. It’s only a 3 hour drive for me, but it’s always a busy time of year.

 

I love Simple Math

Black Mile

When is The Stuffing this year? I know it's normally around Thanksgiving, but didn't they do it really early last year?

It's never really crossed my mind to go, seeing as Atlanta is not close to me, but if they get some good openers, I may consider it this year.

I assume it sells out quickly?

 

Last year, they didn’t really market that show as The Stuffing until a couple weeks before. It was in mid- October believe. I lucked out and had tickets to it before they stacked the lineup, increased the ticket price and named that date the stuffing.

Edit: it might have been early November.. somebody correct me haha. Dates and shows I went to are blurring together in my mind.

 

no you were right the first time I'm p sure

 

I immediately went and watched this video again when I heard the news too.

 

giving simple math a proper listen for the first time in a while
