The Menzingers - Hello Exile (October 4, 2019) Album • Page 22

IK! I can tell them apart quite clearly. Was more of a comment on the current state of the thread haha

 

I think you have this reversed.
Tom is def the pop punk nasal forward singer.

 

Yeah, that’s what I was think. Greg’s vocals can be far more gruff than Tom’s ever are haha

 

Give me a Menz/Spanish Love Songs tour

 

Now if people said they couldn't tell the difference between Greg and Dylan (Spanish Love Songs) I would understand

 

Maybe gruff is the wrong word but I still tell the difference by Greg still being more nasally haha

 

They are both awesome.

 

While I don't agree with the specific calling out nature of the take on Twitter... I definitely think that After the Party is my least favourite Menzo record of the past 4 by a big margin, and that's with it actually starting to grow on me recently. I also like The '59 Sound 10x more than any other Gaslight record. I don't really get much out of the others.

I know those are some piping hot takes but they're just true for me!

If I had to rank: OTIP>RW>CW>>>ATP(+bsides)

Anna is great though!

 

My barber the other day was talking about how SLS copied the Menz sound lol

 

Not knocking you, I just can’t possibly imagine ranking ATP last.

 

I feel anyone who's actually listened to SLS a significant amount knows this isn't true. The similarities end at the vocals

 

Y'all are forgetting A Lesson In Abuse which while definitely not as good as the other still has some really good tracks

Alpha Kappa, Sir Yes Sir and the title track are all top tier. As well as The Clash cover

 

I can't imagine thinking CW is better than OTIP, ATP or RW

 

I think there’s some parallels to be drawn in the lyrics as well.

 

I mean if you have to listen to Spanish Love Songs a significant amount to discern them from the Menzingers, then it’s probably true that they sound like the Menzingers.

Which they do

 

I'm a Menzingers anarachist apparently cause I'd rank them ATP>RW>CW>OTIP

And OTIP is the album that got me into the band too haha

 

Menzingers and SLS really aren't that similar musically

 

It’s not a diss to say most casual listeners would find a similarity between two artists. Most people can’t tell most music in the same genre apart without deep study.

 

when i first listened to SLS my initial thought was that they sounded like menz ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

RW > OTIP > CW = ATP

After the Party has a lot of my fav Menz songs but i never feel desire to spin it front to back, i go back to it for different songs at different times. Rented World and OTIP almost demand i listen all the way through.

 

there is also bias in there because RW Menz is the peak of my fandom with them and in the top three of times i was super into a band overall

 

I like SLS but the Menz comparison is pretty undeniable imo

 

Menz are dramatically better writers than SLS and Greg's range dwarfs Dylan's. SLS' new songs sound no different than Schmaltz. i like them but they've got a lot to do to get in this conversation for me

 

Can’t get behind Rented World
