Manchester Orchestra - A Black Mile to the Surface (July 28, 2017) Album • Page 265

Andy has confirmed. Manchester Orchestra - Sinful Math (May 8, 2019).

 

Friday indeed

 

Do we think these will be full band demos? Or Andy demos? (I'd admittedly prefer the latter).

 

Forget demos, I want the ABMTTS 8-bit remake.

 

I was hoping for a Guitar Hero song pack myself.

 

Haha nice. My most distinct memory from that show was Andy stopping in the middle of a song and telling everyone over by the bar to shut the fuck up. Haha

 

If it’s full band demos I can’t wait for the moth.. I think they said that one originally had like 30 guitars on it haha

 

Oh Musica... great venue that I will sadly probably never be able to play again.

 

Simple Math came out over 7 years ago. The window for a Sinful Math release has already came. I get not releasing it the same day as the Black Mile Demos, but with it being such a niche audience looking for it, and wanting to more, they could do a band camp style release and keep it to a digital album. I’d assume the songs are all professionally recorded (or at least to a good enough standard and save money on packaging). It’d wouldn’t be a big money maker or something you could generate a tour off of. But before the guys diver back into the new Bad Books release and any other touring, or do another film score, put it out for the fans.

They’ve teased the idea. Maybe they want to use some of the songs eventually, or they can’t get former members to sign off if they need.

 

With the amount of effort it’s going to take to wrap up that project and release it, I think it’d get at least a limited physical release. I think they have realized they can make good money off of limited vinyl releases. Which I’m okay with, they deserve every dollar they can get.

But with that, they probably also want to space those kind of releases out to avoid looking like a money grab band.

The dude has an entire shoebox full of hard drives of music. We’ve got a lot of stuff to look forward to in the coming years.

 

I’m sure there’s lot of content there. I doubt they’ll do a Simple Math 10 Year Anniversary Release, but maybe that’s make sense if people keep asking for it.

I loved having Cope/Hope released a year apart of whatever it was. Doing a Balck Mile Demo release a year later as well as a single is a great. I don’t think these items are cash grabs, since only serious fans go out of their way to watch docs and demo albums.

With Yellowcard, Ryan Key took an old side project Big If... demo called Empty Street and recorded it for a Yellowcard album for fans. If Manchester’s next album isn’t another concept record, I wonder if they would re-record any other those unused songs.

 

any chance theres a couple of songs that didn't make the album with the demos?

 

I love the 1-2-3 punch of: "Hey, here's a song we finished from the last album.", "Check out this documentary we shot while recording our last album!", "Y'all wanna hear the rough cuts?".

 

brilliant marketing... with this and all the covers they are carefully going to be pushing their streaming numbers up higher and higher... keeps those monthly listeners way up and keeps the band relevant.

 

Didn't Andy once say that him and Robert covered the entirety of Thriller, note for note? Give me that over Sinful Math.

JUST KIDDING GIVE ME BOTH

 

just give me rejoice.. I don't need anything else

 

Just now seeing the tweet about the black mile demos album. Nice.

 

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY

 

Musica rules and Cincy is less than 4 hours from Cleveland

the NE Ohio pedant has logged on

 

Not here for the black mile hate on the news post

 

I live 30 minutes east of Cleveland, so it’s a good 4 1/2 hours from me.

 

Cinci is quite the trip, I never even consider going to gigs out there even if it's like 3.5-4ish

 

Yeah I've only gone down there for festivals. I'll do Columbus, Detroit or Pittsburgh without giving it too much thought, though, if it's something I love. Did Columbus for Manchester supporting this very album, to keep this post relevant

 

I’ve only gone down to Cinci twice, both shows at Bogarts and had a blast both times. I’d much rather travel to Cbus or Pitt though.

 

I'm feeling really under the weather and cbf with uni today but I can't wait to hear these demos tomorrow, and watch the documentary of course
