mewithoutYou - [untitled] e.p. & [Untitled] LP (2018) Album • Page 168

who cares for me, great album regardless of where it ended up (honorable mentions)

 

Never had a favorite lyric of a given year but this one takes it for 2018:

“one day they’ll find us, feather’s on a tiger’s body, quiet as a clear blue glacier lake.”

Really puts the idea of existence into perspective for me.

 

Who is delivering your records?

I still don’t see anything on USPS or UPS. FrdEx is always the mystery.

 

did you get the deluxe?

 

Love this, although it’s far from my favorite from them and this year

 

#1 hands down. not even close. okay, maybe daughters is close, but not even.

 

I haven't made my list yet, but it's definitely my easy #2, below The 1975.

 

Originally ordered the Deluxe, and then decided to also order the regular copies of the LP and EP as well.

 

Yep. I've listened to this (and the EP) more than anything else this year by like a 3 to 1 margin

 

Have the deluxe coming... getting harder and harder to wait lol

 

oh btw i got my very normal record in the mail last week, it sounds awesome

 

I still have yet to get a shipping notification, so I'm not sure if I should be expecting mine any day now or not. I ordered from them two other times this fall, and got notifications for both when they shipped.

 

I think this is my number 1? It's either this or Coheed. I've loved coheed for 15 years. I've never liked a MWY album before. It's a hard choice.

 

i didnt get a notification at all. it just showed up. my order on the page never changed either, FYI.

 

Has there been any updates on the collector's editions, still pegged for January?

 

I need to figure out what to do with the CD's that are a part of that package.

 

The sequencing of this record is so fantastic. The outro of Flee is a perfect release after ~20ish minutes of driving momentum. The slow burn of the intro to Tortoises is the perfect way to gently pull you back in. And then comes the one-two punch of 2,459 and Wendy & Betsy. Just...wow.

Pretty incredible when you consider the fact that they have said the songs were written at various points in time without the idea of a full album in mind.

 

yeah the sequencing is masterful.. i dont really cherry pick songs here, if i'm listening to it, its the full ride.

 

I really like this album and the EP, i just wish I could love it like everyone else. I don't know what is holding me back, I think it contains some of the bands best work but I don't find myself constantly wanting to put it on. I saw them last week and they were awesome, new songs sounded great too. Maybe getting the deluxe vinyl in January will spark my love for this again.

 

I want my vinyl.

 

The EP made 19 on the NPR listeners' 100 favourite albums of this year!

 

Man, I actually really like that list. NPR listeners seem to know where it’s at. But as much as I love the EP, why the EP and not the album???

 

I actually prefer the EP by a fair bit. be kind to me pls

 

If you cared enough to type “please” completely I’d have considered it but alas.

 

There's some other interesting inclusions on there. The Matthew Dear remix version of MGMT's new album, but not the original album, and Chvrches' Hansa Session EP over Love is Dead. it's a pretty solid list overall, though.
