Despite the inclusion of a well-placed gong in the opening track, Manchester Orchestra bored me into submission. To be fair though, the music itself is actually really good although parallel harmonies keep it straight with block piano chords and a simple set of drums, leaving the music simple and to the point. Maybe I'm just too happy to see a place for this in my permanent collection. If Explosions in the SKy added introspective lyrics strained emotionally through the mic, this would be it.
6.5/10
