Manchester Orchestra - The Million Masks of God (April 30, 2021) Album • Page 105

when did you join? I can say that the last couple months have been pretty dead, at least on the $5 tier. I don’t think we even got the b-side/demo tracks in April, which is one of the main reasons I keep with it. Hopefully after the album release things will pick up

 

I’d have Simple Math, Virgin, Apprehension, April Fool, and Leave It Alone before Pensacola. So 6th.

 

Leave it Alone is the best song off Simple Math.

 

Real talk. Song is CRUSHING.

 

Think it's something like

Pale Black Eye > Leave It Alone > Pensacola

for me if i'm being super honest.

All the lyrics on that album are really bloody good.

 

Somebody has to

 

Weird way to spell "Apprehension"

 

Apprehension is in my Top 3, along with Pensacola.

 

I remember seeing an early tracklisting that had apprehension as the original closer

 

I remember thinking a full band version of Rejoice would be on there

 

I could see that. Simple Math would honestly be a better closer too imo. I just don't like fade outs.

 

I remember playing a house show once maybe 5 years ago, preshow, setting up merch, and talking to a bandmate about Manchester and our favorite albums.

Mine was Simple Math at the time, and I remember saying so, then looking up and literally, everyone in the room was staring at me and then verbally attacked me for liking that album more than Virgin or Mean Everything...

It's not still my absolute favorite, but I stand by the lyrics throughout being some of the best. It also hit at the perfect time in my life.

 

my vinyl status is "shipped" on the order page

 

One of my 3 from the Manchester store has shipped. My patreon exclusive shipped but the bundle and the Hardcover have not shipped.

 

Yeah. Seems to be the consensus that only the Deluxe (maybe just the Patreon Exclusive) has shipped.

 

It was mixed and mastered, just never released.

the version on patreon is a demo and wasn’t intended to be the final version (I believe. Not certain).

On another note, is sinful math just going to be the demos or what?

 

I’m also very curious about what sinful math will actually be. Hoping for finished versions, at least of anything that is finished

 

is the patreon demo just a rip of that ig live video from last year ha?

 

The acoustic Bed Head Demo is so different

 

Love the lyrical differences between the demo and final version

 

thought so. not the best way to sell new people to patreon andy ha

 

Yeah the rip is pretty bad, the acoustic demo makes up for it though

 

Acoustic demo = good

Instagram story rip = still good, just less good and I wish it were even slightly more dynamic.

 

FOLKS!!!!!!!!

 

I'm hoping to snag this from my local record shop in a week.
