mewithoutYou - [untitled] e.p. & [Untitled] LP (2018) Album • Page 178

From an email they just sent out about the collectors edition:

It has been over 7 months since pre-orders for the [Untitled] EP/Album Collector's Edition began back in August 2018. This highly-anticipated, limited release is one that we have also been especially reserved about when discussing a ship date. The only indication we have been able to give our customers was that it would ship sometime in 2019. That is until now. We received word earlier this week that the [Untitled] EP/Album Collector's Edition will arrive at our facilities in late June and we plan to have all pre-orders shipped by July.

Admittedly the process for delivering this special release has taken a lot longer than we expected. In addition to the already lengthy turnaround time of vinyl production, we also ran into several unexpected quality control issues that delayed things further. This is largely due to the experimental nature of the packaging along with some other unforeseen logistical issues. We can also assure you though that the time spent addressing these issues has been beneficial in improving the overall quality, value, and scope of the collector's edition. We are very excited to deliver this unique piece to our fans and we appreciate your support as well as your patience in this process.

 

I cannot wait to get that thing.

 

I'm so excited to see what they cooked up this time, it sounds amazing.

I do wish there was a way to get prints of the actual album/ep artwork outside of the bundled deluxe though - couldn't swing the extra cost with the shipping and exchange rate. I already have the EP as my phone wallpaper and LP as my tablet wallpaper, but it'd be nice to hang on the wall.

 

Obligatory "A->B is a better start to finish album than it's all crazy" post from me.

 

Holy shit I had no idea those vinyl hadn’t shipped yet

 

Might need to put ...it's all crazy on to cleanse my palate after that.

 

It's All Crazy feels like an Aaron solo album with mewithoutYou as the backing band.

 

Pale Horses

Ten Stories
Brother, Sister
Catch for Us the Foxes
it’s all crazy

a/b life

 

Obviously none of y'all saw the A->B tour. Such a great friggin' show, such high energy. Unlike the shows after it's all crazy, which were the worst shows I ever saw this band perform. At least crazy gave us "Every Thought a Thought of You."

Anyways, to officially put my ranking in list form:

Foxes
Pale Horses
Untitled

Ten Stories
Brother Sister

A->B
crazy

 

Though, the real question is, what are your top 10 mwY songs? Has that been discussed recently?

I know that "Fox's Dream" has solidified itself as my #1, but hard to say beyond that. "Carousels," "Messes of Men," & "Mexican War Streets" are all up there for sure.

 

That [A->B] Life tour was so amazing. Outdoor set, too. Very fun show.

Top ten songs, wow. Idk if I could do that.

 

I personally thought that the "holy shit is this band going to break up on-stage" energy of the it's all crazy! ... shows was super compelling lol

I fucking love that album, too.

It’s All False

 

I sadly didn't catch it because they only played one UK anniversary show but I did get the DVD/live album and it looked amazing. There is a certain energy to [A-->B] though and think it's great that they captured that by celebrating that album in such a way. As we all know, the band were ripping apart and not happy at all after it's all crazy so it's understandable that the shows at that period were terrible. Sad, but understandable. In some ways (and there's probably limited demand for this) but I'd love to see them revisit it's all crazy in a live setting. Songs like Timothy Hay can really kick off in present day, so it would be cool to see what they could do with that album if they channeled the energy that they have as a band.

Oh also, I 100% agree on the Every Thought A Thought Of You love.

I genuinely don't know where to start with top 10 songs. It's hard enough to rank the albums, ha!

 

Alright, I'm gonna attempt to answer my own top 10 question. Whether y'all are down for that challenge or not, lol.

Fox's Dream of the Log Flume
Carousels
Mexican War Streets
Messes of Men
Julia (or, 'Holy to the LORD' on the Bells of Horses)
January 1979
Every Thought a Thought of You
Blue Hen
Bullet to Binary
Winter Solstice

That's maybe accurate for how I feel on this particular day.

 

January 1979
Paper Hanger
Messes of Men
C-Minor
O Porcupine
Fox’s Dream of the Log Flume
Mexican War Streets
Red Cow
Another Head for Hydra
Michael, Row Your Boat Ashore

That’s my best guess. Man, I guess I really like heavy mwY.

 

Nice & Blue pt. 2
Paper Hanger
Wolf Am I!
Every Thought a Thought of You
King Beetle on a Coconut Estate
Fox’s Dream of the Log Flume
Rainbow Sign
Chapelcross Towns
Winter Solstice
[dormouse sighs]

 

I don't know that these are my definitive top 5, but these are the 5 songs that immediately came to mind when thinking about this topic:

Torches Together
Wolf Am I! (And Shadow)
Watermelon Ascot
Rainbow Signs
Julia (or, 'Holy to the LORD' On the Bells of Horses)

 

I always like seeing love for Watermelon Ascot.

 

best PH track

 

Hmm...I'll give this a shot:

A Glass Can Only Spill What It Contains
C-Minor
Cardiff Giant
Nine Stories
Watermelon Ascot
Mexican War Streets
Lilac Queen
Bethlehem, WV
Julia (or, 'Holy to the LORD' On the Bells of Horses)
New Wine, New Skins

 

Was really close to including it, but decided to go w/ "Blue Hen" as my second Pale Horses song. But, like, "Watermelon Ascot" is so good. Love the hymn outro.
