Let's all say this together. Ready? 1. 2. 3... FUCK PITCHFORK!!!



How's this for an opening paragraph from Ian Cohen:



"As with many young songwriters prone to lyrically oversharing, Manchester Orchestra's Andy Hull has often been paid the loaded compliment of being "precocious." It's a term that implies unfulfilled potential. But now that his latest album, Simple Math, aspires to be a culmination of his prior two bombastically titled and performed LPs, I can revisit them knowing they were fully conceived steps towards the logical endpoint, "a story about a 23-year old who questions everything from marriage to love to religion to sex." In other words, a concept album about the experience of being Andy Hull, written by Andy Hull."



As the venerable Dr. Tobais Fünke so eloquently put it: "Doucheeeee chilllllllll."

Kind of what I expected. But I don't totally disagree with them.

the pitchfork review is silly in some places but spot on in others.

I'd give this about a 3.8 out of 5... so yes I enjoy it very much, I just couldn't understand everyone hyping this as pretty much the best shit ever for the last month or so.

METN is probably a 4.6 or a 4.7, this is nowhere near that.



think this is gonna end up at a 3.9 for sputnik
