thread of best rock album of year 2017, 'a black mile to the surface' by manchester orchestra

ha, I almost revived this thread to say that on recent revisit I felt an emptiness/hollowness that's difficult to put my finger on, I think it's mainly that I'm struggling to connect with the lyrics. I think by the end I'm also a little worn out by the roaring climaxes

i think i might agree it’s even better than the last one

it's unreal how good this album is

if you like this record i also recommend the new foxing

loving that too

one year i'd like not to have the exact same year end list as you but btwn this, foxing, wolf alice, the maine & pale waves, i don't think this will be that year

"way back" is the best song ever

what the hell @ 'dinosaur' bridge

this is some trail of dead tier stuff

Anyone else been listening to their new EP that came out earlier this month?

Pretty good although the whole thing is very much them in subdued mode
