Manchester Orchestra Band • Page 5

Obviously I'm super excited for a new MO album, but I might be just as stoked if Andy does another solo project.

 

the whole soundtrack is up on spotify and its 24 tracks, sheesh

 

Oooooo gonna have to give that a listen asap

 

Looking forward to listening to it.

 

About halfway through it right now. Crazy that it is all voices, some really beautiful tracks on here.

 

i'm listening to it on amazon prime music. I really like it so far.

 

When does SAM come out?

 

i turned it off halfway through.

i know its not MO, but its crazy how much my interest in these guys has tapered off since cope :(

 

Cope and Hope both bored me to death, so I'm with you there. I'm still holding onto hope that their next album will be good though.

 

Loved Cope aside from the production.

 

Man

 

It's really cool. Hopefully they win an Oscar

 

I used to look at Andy as a guy who could do no wrong, but Cope proved me wrong. That album was a disaster. With that said, this soundtrack is fantastic and took a level of creativity that I didn't know they had in them. This gives me hope that they might do something weird and good with their next album.

 

Edit: wrong thread. But Andy is cool something something cope sucks something something Swiss army man.

 

Lol yeah? Wrong thread buddy.

 

didn't realize there was such hatred for Cope around here. I love it.

 

I'm curious, is Cope anyone's favorite Manchester Orchestra album?

 

I think the songs on Cope are fine, if a little one-note at times, but the production is what really makes it blend all together for me.

Like the stuff from Simple Math, the live versions of the songs are just so much better, in my opinion.

The Swiss Army Man soundtrack is pretty cool and, as said above, unexpectedly creative. I'm excited to see how that affects the next album, given how much time Andy and Robert spent working on all that. I still think they can put out something awesome, even if I didn't care for Cope that much.

 

honestly it may be. either that or an extremely close second.

 

never cared much for cope's production, but the songwriting is just as bland.

was super pissed that they basically just ripped themselves off w/ the riff from "pride" being used on the title track.

 

Second to what?

 

Hope.

just kidding. Simple Math. I'll try to listen to them both now and come back with a verdict.

 

Interesting. My favorite album is Simple Math, but least favorite is Cope. The two albums are like the polar opposites of each other, so I've never seen someone split between those two.

 

Absolutely. I get that. They both just hit me so hard at pivotal times of my life so i've got very strong and different emotional ties to each of them.

 

An argument could be made for all four being their best.
