the only album I've been around for when they actually released it is Pale Horses. I wasn't a fan until a week before that album came out. I started listening to this band purely cuz Foxing was opening for them at a show.

So Pale Horses is my favorite, but A to B life is just solid af posthardcore. CFF i feel is energetic and slick, but BS just feels super slow and uninteresting. It's like the Manipulator to CFF's Doppelganger imo

@rufinthefury I get that, and I agree that A to B Life is a great album, but B,S is just so much better lyrically and is much more musically complex.

Oh, man that tour ruled so hard. Did Conor play trumpet/French horn/whatever for one of mwY's songs when you saw them? I can't remember what song it was from.

@Danred well obviously A to B is not anywhere near as polished lyrically or sonicall, but it's great at what it wants to do, which is to sound pissed off and depressed. I think it does that quite well. With BS I have no idea what the message is or what the vibe is to take away. there's no clear goal or concept behind it whenever I turn it on. It's got good songs, but they aren't flowing together well.



@Db No dude! Damn that sounds awesome. I did see mwY play with Circa Survive recently and I got to see one of their most energetic shows though so that was cool.

Each song on B,S has it's own highlights and desired effect. I see it as multiple portraits of insight separated by the colored spider songs, which I love and is also probably total bollocks lol.



I'd see Foxing and mwY 10/10 times, tbh. Was really happy to see how well Foxing performed live. I've been following them since they started basically and never had the chance to see them before that set.

You pretty much described how I view GKMC, just replace spiders with phone calls. But I understand the story of GKMC, BS I just see as a collection of songs.

My only nitpick with Ten Stories is that I think Bear's Vision... would've been a better closer. I definitely get why Circles is the closer, and it's a great track, but it does slightly undercut the somber finality of Bear's Vision.

I think they are the perfect 1-2 punch to end the album, but I can appreciate that opinion for sure. Bear's Vision of St. Agnes is such a fucking chill jam.

It's honestly haunting to me. Like, I get uneasy listening to it. Not many songs can do that. It also has some of Aaron's best lyrics.

Also, that album took a good two, maybe three years to grow on me. I think seeing some of the songs live helped a lot, but god damn I was wrong with my first impressions. I actually finally gave it the final bump to a 5 and wrote a sound off recently; I was under the influence and regret nothing.

idk i just think it has the least character of all their records - sometimes it feels like its not mwy at all and is just an imitator (a great one though)

It took me long time to declare Ten Stories my 2nd favorite mwY album. I actually disliked it at first, but over the past couple of years, it has grown immensely.

Ah, man. The rhythm change in 9 Stories is primo mwY to me. Now that I think of it, I'm like 90% sure that's the part where Conor from Foxing played the horn when I saw them as part of an encore.

I need to see if I can find that set list.
