The end result is rock music at its most powerful, most inventive and most emotional. Lyric-wise, Hull digs deep into his psyche exposing himself and his relationship with his wife in a very intimate way…he claims he had to get permission from her before recording these songs. ![]() Hull and fellow guitarist Robert McDowell play incredibly throughout the record and the songs are also shot through with inventive string and horn arrangements that will keep any listener on edge. But the best comparison I can come up with is Pink Floyd’s The Wall. Stream songs including 'Deer', 'Mighty' and more.

Listen to Simple Math by Manchester Orchestra on Apple Music. ![]() Pretty heady stuff, no wonder the music has such a “big” sound…these are big concepts.

Chances are, if the music doesn’t move me, I won’t take the time to pour over the lyric sheet. Although most of my favourite artists are known for their lyrics (Patti Smith, Neil Young, Jeff Tweedy), I find that I have to be initially affected by the music before I immerse myself in the lyrics. When it comes to listening to music, some folks are drawn in by the lyrics, others by the music itself. ![]()
