Manchester Orchestra - The Million Masks of God (April 30, 2021) Album • Page 169

How many days before the all the re ranks start flooding in?

 

I just want to make Twin Peaks memes now.

 

Unrelated, but as it stands after six or so listens this is my ranking of songs

Angel of Death
Dinosaur
Annie
Bed Head
Telepath
Keel Timing
Way Back
Obstacle
The Internet
Inaudible
Let It Storm

 

Inaudible and Let it storm are by far and away my least favorite songs on this record. Audible is easily my least favorite MO opener. What about those two songs are clicking for people?

 

Well, as my first ever meme states, the production on Let It Storm is phenomenal.

 

As MO8 said, the production. I also love the build that starts about two minutes into Inaudible. Super epic, sounds great blasting on a car stereo.

Let It Storm is my least favorite too. There's some solid lyrics and the lush instrumentation saves it from being terrible.

They're my least favorites too and took a few listens, but I've come to enjoy them.

 

That’s kind of a cop out on the production bit though, I will admit, because the whole record is really finely produced.

 

I’m still meh on Keel Timing. Maybe in time.

 

This is a beautiful album. I'm satisfied by the louder, harder hitting music they've made so this is a much more interesting direction to me. Keel Timing -> Telepath flows so well!

 

Too tired to try and articulate my thoughts, but Inaudible is a friggin joy to listen to and is a highlight for me on an album that is full of highlights.

 

On first listen, I think it's a great record, but not quite as good as Black Mile for me. Needs a big song like The Silence to close it out.

 

Getting some almost Radiohead vibes from Dinosaur. Love love love it.

 

Glad to see some positivity back in this thread and people talking music.

 

Shh

 

A fascinating record. I think it might be a masterpiece, but I need to let it sit. It’s a lot to take in on first listen. I don’t think I was ever bored, and nothing felt off, but it wasn’t the earth-shattering first listen I expected.

 

People throw the term masterpiece around to casually.

 

I used to stay up late and listen to new albums with a beer but for this one I set an early alarm to wake up and listen with coffee.

This is how I do my 30’s. Lol

Diving in.

 

This is my fav track on my first listen.

 

Welcome.

 

DONT JINX IT

 

...then I heard Dinosaur

 

Good morning #truefans

 

For me it's the final line on the album: "...and all this time I thought I was right" and it's phenomenal

 

Ok I teared up at the end of Way Back. ABMTTS never made me do that.

 

It's corny. But that opening line is just Andy's version of Kanye rhyming "parents" with "herons" in the opener to MBDTF. We'll learn to accept it as an entry-fee to the greatness that awaits beyond it.
