So, for my first review, I'm going to be analyzing a new release that doesn't hit shops for another 2 weeks or so! I'm talking about the new Manchester Orchestra record, which is indie-rock from Georgia. The Manchester Orchestra members hit the studio shortly after the success of their critically-acclaimed 2008 album 'I'm Like A Virgin Losing A Child' and have now released their latest epic, 'Mean Everything To Nothing'.
'Mean Everything to Nothing' embraces singer Andy Hull's (Right Away, Great Captain!) voice to the max, with perfectly guided guitar and bass riffs to exemplify both a soft rhythm throughout the 11-song album, yet also some incredible breaks.
Remastered songs such as 'I Can Feel A Hot One' bring out the best in the bands seemingly endless talent, yet the album changes from faster-paced indie rock to softly sung lullabies throughout. Tracks like 'One Hundred Dollars, Shake It Out and You, My Pride & Me' are ones likely to stick on the mind, not to mention the formidable 'I Can Feel A Hot One'.
Definitely one of the best albums that has been released so far in 2009, and fans of Manchester Orchestra will not be disappointed by the bands latest effort.
