Manchester Orchestra - A Black Mile to the Surface (July 28, 2017) Album • Page 159

MO being on Comedy Bang Bang today is blowing my friggin mind right now. Huge CBB fan.

 

First off, love the video.

Second, very unexpected because when they released The Moth, didn't the band post "our third and final single"

 

This album's midsection is strong as fuck

From "The Alien" to "The Wolf" is a killer 4 song run

 

This Jessica girl isn't that great on [this episode of] Comedy Bang Bang, she keeps laughing at her own jokes....and repeating them..

 

Jessica McKenna is a national treasure please take that back.

Have you listened to much CBB?

 

I have not, this is my first time.

 

Jessica McKenna is a fucking comic genius. Watch your goddamn mouth.

 

It's probably just this character she's doing I don't like. I haven't heard her elsewhere

 

i can understand where you're coming from. it took me a few episodes to "get" that podcast and some of the wacky improv.

 

this is amazing holy shit
lol the first cbb episode i listened to was the one with american football

 

will gladly give you a partial list of the "essentials" if you want, or @Wharf Rat or @Cody can as well.

 

that video is great. also, when Andy says equation in the grocery its one of my favorite parts, so, different strokes for different folks i guess.

 

yeaaaaaa

 

lmfao

 

what the hell

 

Nate is confirmed to be on The Maze and Christian is confirmed to be on 3 different songs btw.

 

When that first harmony comes in during The Maze it sounds so unlike any other MO harmony you had to believe it was Nate in there.

 

It really is a fantastic album, very underrated too.

 

Who's christian?

 

Christian Zucconi from Grouplove

 

"Did you mean to take out all those people with you?" hits me just as hard as "we didnt think that you would actually do it" from Tony The Tiger just in terms of how eerily relatable that lyric is to a certain moment in my life when someone I graduated highschool with robbed a local convenient store and killed like 6 people

 

I like the mistake more on every listen

 

Same here. In fact, when I clicked on this thread just now I had "everybody I know makes the same mistakes" going through my head.

 

I honestly think the only reason it isnt being mentioned more is because it is right after The Alien > The Wolf run, and right before The Parts and The Silence. All of those songs have an argument for top 5 MO songs ever (yes, even The Sunshine, I adore it), and it just gets overshadowed.

 

I'm pretty damn obsessed with this record. I think it has been 7 years since a record kind of bullied its way into my consciousness like this.

If I'm not listening to this, I'm thinking about it.

Ever since I started my career, met my wife, got married, etc. I feel like I've started a whole new chapter in my life. My relationship to music is so much different now. And I honestly thought my days of being blindsided by music were over. So this has been a bit of a revelation and a wonderfully pleasant surprise.
