Manchester Orchestra - A Black Mile to the Surface (July 28, 2017) Album • Page 278

I love both bands. Have seen them both live a ton. MO is probably my favorite band and The Front Bottoms have easily been in my top 5 for the past six and a half years or so. I really, really wish there was an Ohio date.

 

Huge fan of Front Bottoms. Just only got into Manchester Orchestra from the last album.

HUGE FAN OF THIS TOUR. Holy shit!

 

Fine, I shouldn't have said "whole tour" because I can't speak for the TX/midwest cities, but I hardly think it's obnoxious to assume MO is bigger than TFB in the southeast and vice versa in the northeast..

 

wasn't singling you out, it was just a weirdly negative tone in the thread and I was reacting to that. sorry

 

no worries. i got a little defensive myself, i could totally see how my posts could have been interpreted as slighting TFB. I love them, haha.

 

I gotta make it out to The Stuffing one of these days

 

I’m just kind of surprised they’re playing such a large venue. At least the DC one.

 

Well the presale for detroit sold out

 

I would assume MO is closing all dates, (aside from a select few) regardless of the ‘co-headline’ status.

I don’t care for TFB, but I’m glad they’re getting a potentially different audience.

They’ve tried to breach the ‘younger’ crowd on every tour the last few years (Balance and Composure, Tigers Jaw, TFB, etc.), let’s hope they dig what they hear. Get these dudes paid.

 

Definitely hitting up the Lowell date. Finally going to see these bands for the first time.

 

They’ve toured with MO/Bad Books several times already.

Have people forgotten that?

MO is my favorite band but I honestly think TFB are bigger at this point.

 

They have, but not after they’ve ‘blown up’.

TFB are not bigger than MO, in my experience, at least not yet.

I will say that TFB have a better promotional team behind them right now.

 

I put some music on my mum's phone. She replayed this twice

 

Love when this kind of thing happens!

 

Same! I'm just happy she trusts me to choose music for her phone that I think she'd like, positive feedback is great too

 

My mom loves this record now too haha

 

I've never been prouder of my mom than when I left my The Dear Hunter cd in her car and she said it was one of her favorite things she ever heard

Act II btw

 

Dear Hunter are fantastic though.

 

All hail prog moms

 

this album really is gonna go down in their canon isn't it

 

it already has

 

If they somehow top Black Mile with their next album..

...shit I don’t even know.

 

I really have no idea where they go from here.

 

they will take their time and deliver their best foot forward.. my guess is they'll have a huge budget for it too. Just bring back Marks

 

Yeah, I’d be happy to see them work with Marks again. I think getting an outside producer was one of the things that made this album so good.
