Manchester Orchestra - The Million Masks of God (April 30, 2021) Album • Page 66

These vague breadcrumbs they've been handing out. I spent $6 hard-earned cold hard dollars to be a suppotah and they don't even do first listens anymore!


How will they sustain themselves without my every 4 years $9 in support.

 

I don’t have the album, but we’re certainly not ready

 

You have pinned me into a corner.

The Silence
The Gold
The Maze
The Wolf
The Mistake
The Sunshine
The Alien
Lead, SD
The Moth
The Grocery
The Parts

Honestly, the Lead, Moth & Grocery are all interchangeable for me.

 

I certainly don't like The Grocery as much as most people, but very shocked to see The Moth and Lead, SD so low. Given our song ranks were pretty damn close for everything else.

 

I never cared much for the moth

 

I'm just incredibly thankful that with every evolution this band goes through, they just knock it out of the park.

Sigh No More was my SHIT back in 2009 and I listened to Wilder Mind a few times and Delta ONCE. Always tragic when a band goes down a path of music you really don't enjoy. Very blessed to be confident in MO at all times.

Still have my bets placed on Keel Timing on the 26th.

 

Anyone check on ManchesterOrch8 today? He hasn't posted a baseball photo.

I'm worried about him.

 

Busy with the ‘vid. lol



My dad was halfway between Eck and 70’s era Bob Seger. My lineage is as white and trashy looking as it gets.

 

lead sd > the silence > the wolf > the moth > the sunshine > the grocery > the maze > the gold > the alien > the parts > the mistake

 

ok the moth is actually really good. not sure why I thought I didn't care for it. another song that presages the general feel of this album imo

anyway,

lead
silence
grocery
maze
wolf
sunshine
moth
gold
alien
mistake
parts

 

MANCHESTER ORCHESTRA ‘THE MILLION MASKS OF GOD’ TRANSPARENT LIGHT BLUE LP


Did they really just drop another variant on my ass. Is this different than the limited to 500 sea blue?!?!?!

 

Pay up and find out.

 

False alarm. Looks like it's the standard indie store light blue variant.

 

I’m ready for the variant with the etching that says: “Ha. There’s no actual music on this one, but ManchesterOrch8 and BoldTitan will buy it.”

 

METN is their best album.

 

I’d have to buy it.

To be fair, I’ve pretty much only played my original copies and test presses anyway.

 

I’m METN and LAVLAC as favourite MO records, but I’d love to see a record compete with that. The good songs on SM are so good, but the weaker ones for me sometimes get skipped. Cope production just feels weird although there are some really good songs...just needed some more variety. BMTTS just didn’t click as much for me except a few songs.

I want Million Masks to be competing for a high spot on that list but I don’t know what to expect. Bed Head is a good start. Mixes some of that good production from BMTTS and energy of Cope.

 

Anyone else notice Shake it Out missing from Apple Music? Went for a full album listen of METN and it’s not there. Tried searching for the song itself in their library and it’s gone.

 

I think they’re re-upping their licenses with certain services right now, because I’ve seen people ask about other songs too recently.

I’d expect it to be back to normal soon enough.

 

I always figure most people try to own a copy of their favourite music. Guess that’s old school now though.

 

If streaming went down tomorrow, I wouldn’t have mobile access to any music that’s come out in the last ten years.

I’ve never, ever redeemed a download card.

 

I own plenty of physical copies of music (more money spent than I’d ever care to go back and tally up), including digital copies and vinyl of METN, but it’s just much more convenient for me to have Apple Music’s versions of albums in my library unless I have specific non-album tracks, b-sides, deluxe edition tracks that aren’t available from Apple Music.

 

iTunes is still my main source of listening to music. mp3s forever.

I own all my music.

 

Change mp3 to m4a, then we’re talking
