Manchester Orchestra - The Million Masks of God (April 30, 2021) Album • Page 379

big same

 

That link said valley of vision was the end? Then comes the haunting surrealism in the final installment, “The Valley of Vision.”

 

Good, missed that.

VoV was bad

 

Oh really? I liked it a lot. I think it’s a great quick listen.

 

It's quite good

 

Haven’t listened to it since the week it came out

 

didn’t care for it at all

still like this record and black mile a good amount but i’d like them to get out of their seated theater james taylor core vibe and start rocking again

 

I’ll take anything they release.

 

I know it shouldn’t matter - but I really didn’t like the “I don’t want to hold back my faith anymore line” in let it storm. May have made it my least favorite song. I just don’t relate *shrug*

 

Seems like a pretty inoffensive line to be bothered by.

 

I know a lot of people have preferred their older work vs the newer cinematic releases, but for me these last three releases have been the pinnacle of Manchester Orchestra so far. I just love the emotion, the vibe, the atmosphere.

Incredible band whatever connects with you most.

It will be interesting to hear where they go next though.

 

Man I’m just over here loving all their albums a lot

 

Past few albums have been great. I'm ready for a new sound/switch though.

Didn't the band hint at leaning more into a heavier/rock sound for this upcoming one

 

They obviously could have written a whole new batch of songs since then but at that “secret” show last year they played 12 songs and if I remember correctly I’d say roughly 5-6 could have fit in on the last two records and maybe 3-4 struck me as them “finding the heavy” again.

I do wonder if a cope tour and playing METN at the stuffing made them want to revisit their heavier/rock side.

Also if anyone doesn’t subscribe to their Patreon but doesn’t mind spending $15 once to access the back catalog of live EPs or whatever, I finally did it and that place is a treasure trove of alternate takes on existing songs. A lot of them are reminiscent of the old daytrotter sessions if anyone remembers those.

 

Capital Karma and The Way are two of my favourite MO songs, I know music is subjective but calling Valley of Vision straight up bad is crazy to me

 

I can go either way. I’ve really enjoyed Black Mile and Million Masks. Ep was interesting and Capital Karma was great. Didn’t really spend a whole lot of time with it mainly due to my company selling during the time it released and it just wasn’t the vibe I wanted at the time. Maybe I’ll revisit it.
Regardless yes I would like them to get wild with the next one.

 

I like this album but don’t really care about black mile

 

Love the albums but the ep did nothing for me at all

 

Honest to god completely forgot about the EP.

weird because I love the last 2 LPs.

gimme simple math 2. Lol

 

Black Mile is a top MO record, except The Parts

 

This is the way

 

I love all their stuff so much. To me they’ve proven that they absolutely kill at any sound they choose. If their new stuff sounds their old stuff, cool. I don’t care if it’s soft, heavy, or completely different than anything they’ve ever put out. I have more trust in this band than any other band. I’m ok to let them cook

 

Except The Parts?! Oh my. I could hear an argument that it's a bit out of place sonically on that album, but thematically it's such a beautiful piece of the story. But maybe it's the fact I had my daughter last year.

 

Don’t care about a new album, just give me Leaky Breaks live ffs

 

Leave it alone tho
