This is the review I would write for this album if I was a good writer. Couldn't agree more

Relistened to this for the first time in a year or two. I agree The Silence is an absolutely immaculate track, but there are still a few in the back half that I merely “really really like”. Amazing album still

Their live performance of The Silence (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5s3ytiYZS8g&ab_channel=ManchesterOrchestra) is ridiculously good. Probably listened to this album top to bottom 10x and still fresh. Album structure is perfect, songs flow so well. Transition from The Alien to The Sunshine is simply bliss. Haven't heard an album connect songs so well since Language by The Contortionist. They still have page up with some of their notes and recording photos/clips for the album https://iknowhowtospeak.themanchesterorchestra.com/.

It's crazy how many times I've played this album and not gotten sick of it. 5 years on and it still sounds incredible to me

Lead SD was originally my favorite song here until the genius of The Silence set in

The Alien also slow crept its way into my top 3 songs here

My favorite part of The Grocery is still when he sings about the faith of his fathers before him. He almost seems envious of their certainty, that they could believe in something so unwaveringly without any proof.
