Might as well paste my same thought here since no one ever reads Jason’s little melody bot posts in the newsroom: My god this is my shit. This is easily sneaking in to my top 20 this year. Maybe top 10??? Too soon to call!
yeah this feels like major chorus.fm-core in the best way has anyone mentioned this to the manchester orchestra thread?
With so many of the bands I like delaying albums or pushing back writing and recording processes it creates a window for listening to more bands that I otherwise would not have. I can think of a couple bands/albums this year already, and I’ll see if this sneaks in there too.
Good stuff. The “interludes” work super well, definitely extensions of the songs they’re bordered by.
The drumming on this record is fucking fantastic, also - one thing that immediately stuck out for me when I heard it. gonna guess it's out there IYKWIM
still weird to me that people get at leaks in 2020. that's been foreign to me for like the past 2 years unless its like a top 5 band.
