That’s the end of that one. Final scores: Black Mass - 9 Thick as Thieves - 20 House on Fire - 9 Midwestern States - 20 Bad Catholics - 18 Livin’ Ain’t Easy - 11 Charlie’s Army - 19 The Bars - 10 Tellin’ Lies - 26 Boy Blue - 3 AFTER THE PARTY ROUND 2 ___________ Thick as Thieves vs. Lookers Midwestern States vs. Bad Catholics Charlie’s Army vs. After the Party Tellin’ Lies vs. Your Wild Years
Lookers (solely because Thick as Thieves did not deserve that 13-1 run it had on Black Mass after Black Mass had an early lead.... but also because Lookers is the better song) Midwestern States After the Party Tellin' Lies I'm confident saying that these are at least four of the top five songs on the album
Lookers Midwestern States After the Party Tellin’ Lies Sad to not vote for Your Wild Years, but Tellin' Lies is up there as one of my fav Menz songs
oh shit missed a round lookers midwestern states after the party (really tough bc charlie's army is easily one of my favorite menzos songs but after the party is untouchable) tellin lies
Thick as Thieves - 0 Lookers - 5 Midwestern States - 4 Bad Catholics - 1 Charlie’s Army - 1 After the Party - 4 Tellin’ Lies - 4 Your Wild Years - 1
Lookers Midwestern States After the Party (still love Charlie’s Army) Your Wild Years (I think this is my favorite)
Lookers Midwestern states After the party Tellin lies interested to see if any of these other songs can pull an upset or if we are just headed for the inevitable Lookers vs. After The Party final round. Glad thick as thieves got cursed with that Lookers matchup for doing Black Mass dirty. Tellin’ lies is not my favorite on the album but the bridge / outro might be my favorite moment.
Lookers Midwestern States After the Party Your Wild Years Who the fuck is voting against your wild years?!?!? Top 2 Menzingers song ever for me. This verse should’ve won a goddamn Pulitzer: We drove up to Massachusetts together Your old house was just like you remember We stayed in your adolescent room Rummaged through the boxes labeled "former you" The souvenirs of happiness in the moment Your wild years that you often mention The sands of time in an hourglass That you're always begging for back I got drunk in the afternoon with your father in the living room As the television broke the silence You smiled, know that I was trying the best that I can do
Lookers Midwestern States After the Party Your Wild Years rip to all of toms best songs on this record :(
Incredible verse, but I raise you this from Tellin’ Lies: Like tension you can cut with a knife Like a wedding ring that never fit right Like a car alarm that won't stop howling A decade lost in the motions to romance and cheap whiskey The subtle sound of a fleeting feeling Like four chords that don't love you no more In a motel room, a sleeping bag on the floor Is it wrong to say that things can change? Is it wrong to say that things can change Your Wild Years is incredible but just a tough matchup.
Thick as Thieves - 0 Lookers - 12 Midwestern States - 10 Bad Catholics - 2 Charlie’s Army - 1 After the Party - 11 Tellin’ Lies - 7 Your Wild Years - 5
I do love Tellin' Lies, just not at the same level I love Your Wild Years. The wedding ring that never fit right line is so so so so so so good. God, I love this band. I can't imagine anything but Lookers winning this album, but I want Your Wild Years to get as far as possible.
Lookers (This was a little tough for me! I think I prefer Thick as Thieves musically, but I prefer the lyrics in Lookers and I’ll give that the slight edge) Bad Catholics (This is one of my favorite songs on the album - I love its chorus) After the Party (This may be my favorite song of theirs) Tellin’ Lies (I enjoy Your Wild Years, but this was a fairly easy choice for me)
