The Menzingers - After the Party (February 3, 2017) Album • Page 72

Charlies Army is the fucking jam.

I'm so excited to see these songs live

 

update: yup, this paid off well. they can paint one hell of a picture lyrically.

 

If Black Mass is the Transient Love of ATP, I like this one a lot better already

 

I haven't had a chance to listen yet haha. I'm an awful person and I am ashamed. Plus, there are pages of convo in this thread that I just completely missed. Fun fact about the ATP cover is that the guy sitting down is actually just me in the future after I realized the party that is this thread moved on without me. It took a lot of planning and scheduling, but I think it turned out quite nice.

 

House on Fire and Boy Blue, Tom is killin' it.

 

Yeah maybe that's what bothers me so much. Plus I can't stop thinking of Charlie Kelly and an army of rats

 

it's just stupid how it doesn't let up

yep those two songs are unreal

 

Glad they put Bad Catholics in, if only for the exposure it's getting (getting played at NHL games, etc.). Kinda wish Irish Goodbyes got that treatment somehow.

 

Not a fan of the lobby and coffee lines in Livin' Ain't Easy lol

 

Was Bad Catholics an older song like Irish Goodbyes?

 

Nah, a newer one, but they originally stated last summer when they played Bad Catholics live that they were gonna try to put it out on a split. I believe Tom did an interview this winter though that said when they sent the record and the b-sides to Epitaph, they wanted Bad Catholics and another one on the record instead.

 

Well just finished up and that was fantastic. Greg's standouts for me would have to be Tellin' Lies, Lookers, Charlie's Army, and After the Party, Tom with House on Fire and Boy Blue.

 

Anyone know what the Covers EP songs were?

 

Haha that's kinda accurate, although I think there are still some stragglers in here that wouldn't mind keeping the party going.

 

Yeah, I find it very fitting that my Menzingers hoodie with the sad reaper arrives today.

 

Don't get that issue with ,, Livin ain't easy" it is my favorite track along with Lookers so far....but ya know...whole thing is amazing!so happy for this

 

Man, Tom took his songwriting to a new level. On my second listen right now and Charlie's Army or After the Party are my favorites. Charlie's Army is just so damn fun. I love that Greg can write about partying and jealous ex boyfriends in a punk song and still drop a Hemingway reference.

Also if you buy the album on bandcamp today, profits go to the ACLU. Super important.

 

All four of Tom's songs are top notch. Right up there with Lookers, MW States, Your Wild Years, and After the Party for the best songs.

 

Hot take: Boy Blue should be a B-side.

 

You are mad

 

Alright, getting ready to dive in for the first time. Took my lunch and drove to our large city park system. I'm ready.

 

Poor tom

 

His other songs rule! Just not this one for me.

 

Tom sings on Ava House which is in my top 5 Menzingers songs so he's cool with me. Thick as Thieves is fantastic as well, Tom sounds great as I've said before

 

This is definitely toms best group of songs, and he sounds amazing on here
