Editorial Reviews

Gametap.com

This album is not, as we had hoped, a mystical collaboration between Morrissey, Oasis and New Order. It is, in fact, so devoid of actual Mancunian influence it might as well have been made on Jupiter. That's not to say you should cast it aside in disgust at such flagrant false advertising-there's far more to this Atlanta-based five-piece's debut than meets the eye. The vocals sound like Conor Oberst having a nervous breakdown and there's a gloomy pall suspended over the whole affair that could probably kill the mood at a wake. Let's face it, we can all pinpoint this album's demographic with startling precision but for once let's set snobbery aside. After all, Madchester was aimed at parka-wearing pill-heads from Salford and now it's adored by mild-mannered middle Englanders everywhere. Best to get in on the act early.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exceptional, December 25, 2006
This review is from: I'm Like a Virgin Losing a Child (Audio CD)
Well, for starters you've got 19-year old enigmatic front-man Andy Hull crafting delicately poignant songs that speak well beyond his years. His voice rings pure and honest, gently sharing eloquent stories of hope, loss, and love. The band provides an intelligent mouthpiece for their generation, providing the words that will surely be scrawled lovingly within the cover of spiral-notebooks across the nation. Musically, Manchester Orchestra is equally mature. Its 2006 LP release I'm Like A Virgin Losing A Child showcases a diverse range of musical styles, and is receiving overwhelmingly positive reviews from anyone who listens. It currently sits in the top 10 sellers at influential indie-retailer Criminal Records. Overall it's a masterful pairing of smart lyrics and memorable hooks. Manchester Orchestra has been attracting attention outside of their hometown of Atlanta as well, picking up slots on the nation's most prestigious music festivals including South by Southwest '06 and Lollapalooza. -LooneyTunes

4.0 out of 5 stars Brilliantly Executed!, October 13, 2007
By Eddie Wannabee (Western Hemisphere) - See all my reviews
First of all I gladly give it a 4.5 not 4 stars but since there is no half measures I must stick with 4 stars, for 5 would make it a perfect album and we all know how hard are those type of albums to come by. That said I am thrilled to own this CD. These guys are certainly very good at what they do and their songs are one notch above what I probably was expecting before I listened to the whole CD. One thing I must point out is that is my experience that the really good albums grow with more listens and I have no doubt this one will do that. One thing I treasure more than anything else is the musicality that is offered, regardless of the genre. I am finally burned out of just loud driving beats, with repetitive sounds. I don't care how fast the band is, if they do not show musicality I will get rid of it. Manchester Orchestra are really something. Their lead vocal is very good and the songs all are well built. You see, this is where I go wrong! Saying something like well built takes away from the overall pleasure of listening to "Im like a Virging Losing a Child". There is depth to this band and the whole CD is Brilliantly Executed. There are a couple of songs that caught me off guard which immediately reinforced my belief that these guys are pretty good. I continue on my never ending search for talent in the world of music and I am very happy to say Manchester Orchestra is a proud member of my ever growing collection. Who cares if I spend money like there is no tomorrow if the end result are bands like Manchester Orchestra. 4.5 Stars for this above average group!

5.0 out of 5 stars New Favorite Album, December 8, 2007
By Elaine Adamcewicz (Aurora, CO USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I heard "Wolves at Night" on XM and bought this CD purely on the strength of that song (and after listening to only three other samples on Amazon). 25 plays later and I still can't get enough of it (my partner is threatening divorce). A close second favorite is "I Can Barely Breathe," and I'm sure more will join that category after a few more listens. The comparison to Conor Oberst above is spot on: Andy Hull has his quiet introspection, along with the plaintive angst of Robert Smith, mixed with occasional angry, blaring synth riffs that are downright addictive. This won't be leaving my playlist for a long time to come.
