Okay after a few listens I'm liking this. Not blowing me away, but plenty of sweet tunes on here.



The Moth and The Gold stand out especially

I like that one. Once it picks up it reminds me a little of Virgin.

Only know their two highest rated albums on this site, is Virgin worth it?

It's pretty good. It has I Can Barely Breathe, which is one of my favorites of theirs. I think you'd probably dig it.



Mean Everything to Nothing is still their best for me, but Virgin has a rawness to it that works in its favor.

Well, it's on Simple Math, and that's my second favorite MO album after this one; so yeah, check it out.

I love Virgin more than METN and Simple Math, though both of those are very good.

And it'll hopefully stay that way, cause this is a fucking breath of fresh air to the genre.

Start with Mean Everything To Nothing, then check out Simple Math and finish off with this one.

Well, I would probably say that their earlier works aimed towards a more post-hardcore/emo/alternative rock kinda thing, but they evolved to a rockier/a little bit more experimental Fleet Foxes with Radiohead's A Moon Shaped Pool influences. Actually I compared this new album to AMSP a bit. But I dunno if I could point out specific bands that sound like Manchester Orchestra.
