Manchester Orchestra - The Million Masks of God (April 30, 2021) Album • Page 188

I like your review, Mary! I've always felt like I was a record behind for MO, even with them being my favorite band. BM didn't fully click until the tour, then it was so powerful I couldn't possibly not see how they'd evolved and made a truly masterful record. I think this will be similar for MM too.

I also can't deny that when I read the Albums in Stores thread this morning and seeing MO all over the place, it made me tear up a bit. I remember this band playing to maybe 40 or 50 people PACKED into the front of a bar. Seeing where they've managed to take it - just a proud fan.

 

I was not expecting how low key the back half of this record was going to be. I like it a lot but that was surprising.

 

Yeah but remember when @Drew Beringer only gave them honorable mention in 2006? That’s how I know I’m old af now.

 

Who're the Chorus bands in 2021? I truly don't know.

Are MO now the 'biggest'?

 

MO, JEW, the 1975?

 

I see someone else posted but I wanted to ask you. You encouraged people to get deluxe for an apparent reason. Is there something special that we are unaware of in the deluxe edition?

 

Paramore is up there I think

 

Thank you!

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!

I’m working on some cool shit and looking forward to sharing in the coming weeks :)

 

for like a virgin? I can’t remember anything haha

 

Exactly where I’m at

 

Man, I was in first grade then lmao

 

this made ME feel old as shit and I’m not even that old lmao

 

I’m old AF

 

@Mary V Your review was a great read! You brought up a lot of good points that I honestly hadn't considered like about the structure of the album itself and how it feels kinda off. Great stuff.

 

It feels weirdly empowering to be able to send someone on a lowkey existential crisis lmao

 

Fuuuuuck. I was a Sophomore in high school. lol

 

In 2006 I was an edgy 7th grader thinking I was the coolest kid for screaming along to Ohio is for Lovers

 

I was a...senior in college.

Get off my lawn.

 

Honestly my musical tastes were pretty in line with AP around 2008/2009. I would have been on the forums for sure had I not been, yknow, 9.

To be fully honest I think I lurked on some threads there growing up

 

Ha, Manchester Orchestra was my first 18+ show. Think that was February 2008.

 

I was in college when the first Manchester album came out. Some of you are too young.

 

I mean I'm halfway through college right now so ‍

 

Now THAT makes me feel old heh

 

HAhha.
