Manchester Orchestra - The Million Masks of God (April 30, 2021) Album • Page 75

The drumming and bass are excellent

 

Yeah, this slaps.

 

Maaaaan that chuggggg

 

It’s definitely a groove based song. I like Bedhead much more, but I feel like a song like Keel Timing is less a single in terms of sounds and more serves purpose in the album. But I’ve only listened twice so no conclusion is final here.

 

good stuff, def prefer "Bed Head" tho

 

It really feels like a companion song to Bed Head. Can’t wait to hear it in the context of the whole thing.

 

The band did an incredible job of sequencing the album. It flows perfectly.

 

I enjoyed this.

 

Keel Timing is fun. The Bed Head vocal melody being reused (or rather Bed Head repurposing the KT vocal melody, based off the track listing) threw me off at first but it’s awesome.

Can I go to bed until 4/30?

 

Really like this

 

Enjoyed this, but not as good as Bed Head.

 

as a standalone song, no way in hell is this better than bed head. this 100% feels like the kind of song that shines in context of an album. Cool song for now, but makes me want to hear the whole album

 

man, this one grooves.

 

I rarely see Tim get his dues as a drummer and this should happen more often.

 

THIRTY FIVE DAYS

 

tbh i don’t like tim’s drumming at all really. he’s probably the most “talented” drummer the band has worked with, but he lacks an emotion to his drumming that the others had

 

How many drummers have they had?

 

this song rules

 

tim’s drumming on black mile is phenomenal

 

They’ve had two ~and a halfish~, Jeremiah and Tim full time, and Ben Homola touring and a little during SM, and Andy Lee subbed for a minute too.

I think Tim’s pretty reserved in MO. MO doesn’t call for too much crazy or intricate. He does what MO does perfectly, but I think he could do more if it called for it.

I guess I don’t really grade off ‘emotion’ though. I think I grasp what you mean, but it’s nothing I tend to perceive right off the bat when I listen to music.

 

I want my drummer literally SOBBING with each tempo change.

 

This would be a good song to run to. I should go for a run.

 

I will not allow any Tim slander. His style helped the band become more than just the Andy Hull show. I think his drumming and the addition of Prince is what makes them such a good live band.

 

Will 100% say they evolved live when they nailed down this rhythm section.

 

Tim is fine unless he’s playing pre-SM songs. I don’t know if lack of emotion is necessarily the right wording but he tends to race through them and they lose some of the impact (I don’t think that’s the word I’m looking for either, but work sucks today and I’m in a hurry so w/e) they used to have when I watched Jeremiah play them.
