Manchester Orchestra Appreciation

[nimo007]

I've been hooked since "I'm like a Virgin Loosing a Child"
Barely got "Mean Everything to Nothing" and wow I expect more big things in the future.

Band has a very different sound that seems to blend some early 90'sgrunge and modern day indie. I like to think Foo Fighters/Nirvana/and ahint of Brand New

Absolutely Appreciated. Got hooked on them right before Lollapalooza '07. Saw them there and then saw them twice more with Brand New this past Fall. I wanted to see them with Thrice on Friday, but I graduate on Saturday, so my family will be here visiting (I heard the tour was cancelled anyway).

I love both albums in their entirety, but I feel like they will never record a song better than "Where Have You Been?" They also have alot of good material on their EPs..."The Procession" stands out right now but there are plenty of others.

"Shake it Out" is just pure intensity, love it

Like A Virgin Losing A Child, but both albums are great!

I've seen them at least 3 times and they've exceeded expectations every time.

I like Like a Virgin Losing a Child so much more because its a whole lot softer and mellow. Means Everything To Nothing is a bit heavier when I'm in that heavier mood. Pride is just a fantastic song.

I HIGHLY suggest "Right Away, Great Captain!". It's Andy Hulls solo cd and he's basically telling a story of a sailors life across a few EPs.

One of my favorite bands of the moment.
