Only partway through my first listen, but I gotta say, Deer feels like such an odd way to open the album. It’s pretty but kinda slight. Especially after the opening one-two punch of The Only One and Shake it Out on Mean Everything.

T/t is indeed amazing. In fact, I think the final four song stretch is my favorite part of the album (with the caveat that I’ve only listened once, and it always takes me 2-3 spins of an album before I figure out which tracks I like best, and my overall impression).

Album Rating: 4.0

Not loving this quite as much as I expected/hoped to based on what I’ve heard. (Btw I’m just getting into this band and chronologically going through their discog).



I definitely like it, and songs 7-10 are pretty stellar. It’s the first half that I find fairly bland. If the entire thing was like 7-10, this would be an easy 4, maybe even 4.5.



That said, I’ve only listened through three times so it’s entirely possible that it’ll grow to a 4 or so. As it stands right now, I prefer their first two albums (I have Virgin at 4 and Mean Everything at 4.5).



Really love Andy’s style and voice. I like how he wears his heart on his sleeve and pours his emotions into it, holding nothing back.

I kinda had a similar experience with this one. Rest assured that it grows, at least that was obviously the case for me.

Yeah it just feels like a grower. Their first two were for me as well. In fact, I need to spin most albums a few times before they click.

Ok so if I don’t like this one but I love the debut which one should I go for next???

Album Rating: 4.0

You made the right choice going with Simple Math next. I’m just going through chronologically, it’s working fine for me.

Oh shit, I think this finally clicked for me just now. Just bumped to a 4.

The video is pretty great for the song Simple Math

Haven’t seen it, I’ll have to check it out.

Title track soars, I underestimated this album. The climax on that one reminds me of the highlights of later Thrice

Album Rating: 4.0

Yeah the last four songs are definitely the best stretch of the album. Just phenomenal and powerful.

Album Rating: 4.5

Totally agree about the last 4 songs being absolute bangers

Probably best Manchester Orchestra tbh.

That would be feasible if Black Mile didn’t exist.

Album Rating: 4.5

Yes, Black Mile is the best. Debut is the worst.

Album Rating: 4.5

I still love this more than Black Mile tbh.

I listened to Black Mile once. Even though i liked it i never felt the urge to revisit.
