An impressive & mature debut for such a young band, 'I'm Like A Virgin Losing A Child' does a respectable job of balancing accessible & emotional indie-rock. While there is a nice mix of everything musically, it is lead vocalist Andy Hull who commands attention with his storytelling & vocal abilities. The sparse ballads are not quite as successful as those tracks which are either up-beat or switch tempo, but nothing is at all bad & this LP shows enough promise to suggest that Manchester Orchestra have an extremely bright future. Recommended Tracks: Alice and Interiors, I Can Barely Breathe, Wolves At Night & Now That You're Home.

I'm gonna doublepost here, is it just me or does the intro to I Can Barely Breathe sound eerily familiar to the intro to Sowing Season by Brand New?

This is good, but METN is waaaaay better. His voice got so much stronger

This is still pretty solid, METN is just plain better. They're a more focused developed band now.

They grew more on the other aspects, as well as a little in the songwriting department. The outro of I Can Feel a Hot One just brings what they've done to a completely different level.
