Manchester Orchestra - The Million Masks of God (April 30, 2021) Album • Page 357

What does remastering even do? Every remastering I've listened to would fail an a/b test for me 10 times out of 10.

 

I’m honestly not sure exactly. I had a hunch that they might re-record LP 1-4 at some point. This is on Favorite Gentlemen as well (their own label). I do think the vocals back then speak to the time, but getting an (Andy’s Version) with his more mature voice would be really cool.

Thrice recently just did The Artist in The Ambulance - Revisited with new vocals.

Andy and Kevin also just did II Bad Books Revisited, though that was done with some weird experimental production that made some songs better and others not as enjoyable.

My hope is that either it’s just a higher fidelity, deeper and richer production with nothing really changed. Or it’s a re-record with Black Mile era vocals and production across the board.

My friend made a good point, the biggest tell that it’s not a re-record is that the album art is exactly the same.

 

metn and simple math i'm all for. unless it's like a 1 to 1 redo, or as close as they can get, don't know that i would care about a re-recording of virgin. i'm not a huge fan of the way they play those songs live now.

 

I wouldn’t mind a re-recording of ILAV. Don’t get me wrong, I love the original, but I’d also love to hear how it’d sound the way they play now. The live version of I Can Barely Breathe just smashes the original.

I understand a remaster for METN. That album is a little loud to me. I imagine they’d try to dial that back a bit. Idk about Simple Math though. I always thought that record came across flat. Idk what a remaster would do to help that.

 

I'd rather just get a live in-studio version of those early albums.

 

Patreon…

 

Listen, I signed up for their patreon and the organization of it was miserable and the live versions of ILAV that I found were acoustic.

I want the full-band experience

 

no interest in a re-record of any besides COPE.

didnt andy smoke a shit load of cigs while sick to sound the way he does on METN? thats some of the most punk shit ever.

 

We ever gonna get another Bad Books album?

RAGC? I thought Andy tweeted a year or two ago about kicking the tires on more RAGC material.

 

I totally forgot I never listened to that redone bad books album no one liked haha

 

I haven't listened either and have no plans to.

 

They’re vinyl remasters not full on album remasters.

No tinkering. No, they aren’t going to rerecord any records.

 

What will you do if they do re-record any of their records?

 

Picked up the three new pressings tonight. I think it’s these:

 

Setlist spoilers compared to the Jax one on last.fm
No Wolves at Night, Every Stone or Deer. We got Top Notch in the spot where Every Stone was, and they encored with I Know How to Speak, so that was cool

 

Filming night one of the stuffing I believe Andy just said

 

Please don't touch I'm Like A Virgin or METN, they are perfect. Thank you.

 

Anyone know if they did anything special with their set for The Stuffing tonight? Zero mention on Setlist.fm yet

 

night 2

 

i quite regret being too hungover to go to night 2

 

What’s up with not playing The Grocery at all this run? They even have lyrics from it on one of the t shirts they’re selling.

 

How was Matt Maeson? Was he full band or acoustic?
