Manchester Orchestra - A Black Mile to the Surface (July 28, 2017) Album • Page 204

Waterboy reference. I don't think I've actually heard the word used outside that movie?

 

I'll admit I came in here in a bad mood because that one guys posts about pitchfork are terrible and all the Nazi stuff but yeah I said my piece it's cool thread is moved, people started complaining about the complaining which was ironic but anyway if colly strings doesn't win your little game I'm gonna troll everyone who participated until I get banned

 

Never seen I don't really watch movies so shrug

 

Waterboy is so bad but I love it

Fooseball

 

Fixed

 

you arent wrong

 

yeah i kinda came in here in a pissy mood and im sorry @BoldTitan

 

Yeah I'm sorry for my comment about the ranking thread and the mods and the whatever


I love these forums and I don't want anyone to feel unwelcome! Sorry for when I've sucked in times past and times future

 

I kind of want to say something about the last few pages of the thread but I don't think I feel totally comfortable doing that so I'll just say I'm sorry if I played a part in upsetting anybody because of the ranking.

I actually haven't returned to this in a few days, but that's mostly because I've been binging on Circa Survive's discography. I think tomorrow will be the night, though.

 

Tomorrow is a new day. It's all good

 

I like dis album

 

Doing the same thing. It's pretty much been Circa Survive all week.

 

Man I can't believe how upset people got with BoldTitan.

Album is great. Song elimination was fun. Talk about whatever you want.

The sunshine is the best song due to its simplicity and distilling down how Andy writes lyrics into a 2 minute song.

I'm acting mightier than thou but I think folks need to take it down a notch with their criticisms of other users who are not being callous, offensive and/or obtuse to the thread.

 

The new Arcade Fire was actually criticised for a lack of melodrama. Go figure.

 

The ama made it sound like it was more common than that. Where did you gain this insight?

 

i contribute to pfork

 

the real ones in this thread already knew this

 

Can anyone recommend some dark synth driven rock music like we hear on the wolf?

 

whats your favorite song on the album so far?

 

Kid A lmfao


But really, I have no idea

 

lol I do really like kid a but that isn't quite like this, I heard silver sun pickups mentioned quite a bit with this albums, can't say I've ever listened to them

 

That is very hard to say...I think as a whole I want to say The Maze, because as dumb as it sounds it makes me imagine my future hypothetical child and I've never had a song move me emotionally like that with subject material I really shouldn't be familiar with. It is just a really gorgeous song to me and very powerful even though it is an intro and one dimensional.

This album however has a lot of favorite "moments" that really strike me, like when all the music cuts out in the Gold, certain guitar parts in The Moth, The yelling in Lead, The line in The Grocery "You believe it or you dooooon't, now i'm trying to find the right way to get out of here"....In the Silence "There is nothing you keep there is only a reflection....little girl you are cursed by my ancestry"

A lot of songs I was initially turned off by I am really enjoying now, like Lead and Grocery.

Is Lead still your favorite?

 

Oh yeah give Swoon a listen that's a great album

 

yeah i think Lead is still my favorite but like you said theres a lot of moments that just get to me. The Wolf and The Moth are close seconds but i dont think theres a weak song on it.

 

the chord progression in the verses on The Grocery is so satisfying I almost can't believe it. The tension that builds when they hit "anyways," "rounds," and "lips" gives me goosebumps damn near every time
