If a train is headed east at 40 mph and another train is headed west at 60 mph, and if another train has a speed equal to the sum of the passengers on all three trains divided by the amount of rainfall in the Brazilian rainforest during the month of June, what will be the railroad company’s annual profit?
This is not simple math.
[Segue alert]
Simple Math is the latest album by the group Manchester Orchestra. It’s a 10-song disc (download) that from start to finish (45 minutes) really is something beautiful. I don’t know the biography of the band to bring in any interesting fact about the meaning behind any of the tracks. I’ve heard that it’s an album that kind of mirrors the lead singer’s life. I’ve also heard that the lead singer… hold on while I Google his name, Andy Hull, is the son of a preacher. That seems to be a vogue label these days so we Crums had better cash in.*
For the MO on MO you’ll have to do some research on the Web.
It’s guitars, drums, a children’s choir, mixed in with some string arrangements and some trumpet blasts. If that isn’t enough of a description to entice a listen I don’t know what would. You’ll just have to trust me on this.
So whether your preferred medium is vinyl, cassette (I’m actually not sure they are available on this), CD, MP3 or web-stream… If you’re looking for an album that will rock your socks off, do the Math!!
*Note: I think most of the members of the band The Kings of Leon grew up as traveling preacher kids.
!!Parental Advisory - This album does contain a few curse words!!
