The Menzingers - Some Of It Was True (October 13, 2023) • Page 39

yeah this song ain't great, for sure worst on the album

 

I don't think there are any bad songs on here, counting the new deluxe version - I've just always felt like the original version of the album really peaks with "High Low" and then the next 2 / last 2 songs are a tiny bit of a letdown after that

 

Please don’t take it to heart has a decent chorus but the southern rock stomp verses don’t fit this band, imo

 

i definitely agree that the closer, with that title, could have lived up a little better to high expectations but, for personal reasons the lyrics really hit hard right now so, i enjoy it a lot haha

my personal favorite on the album is Alone in Dublin and i'll scream and cry and throw up if they have that in the setlist this weekend but i dont expect it.

 

Alone in Dublin also prob my favorite

 

I've come to like "Running in the Roar of the Wind," but I can't deny that my initial reaction to it was "That's IT!?" Especially after I loved the closer so much on the last album.

 

Farewell Youth still gets me choked up if it hits me at the right time.

 

I like it too, but I think the thing is, I absolutely fucking love tracks 1-11

 

Roar might be my fav on this record.

 

Yeah I’d replace High Low and Didn’t Miss You with the two bsides

 

without looking at song titles, if I try to list my favorite songs on the album from memory I'm going with "Nobody Stays", title track, "Try" & "High Low"

 

Having no nostalgia anthems on this was a weird adjustment at first, but I really came around to the album. Nobody Stays, Come On Heartache, Ultraviolet, and Alone In Dublin are probably my favorites.

 

Anyone go to any of the shows so far? Any good merch/show posters? Trying to figure out what time to get there tonight.

 

Show last night rocked. Didnt get a look at any merch tho.

 

Oh man they are playing the second most underrated song in their discography finally. May have to make the trip to Madison for that.

 

Went to the Harrisburg show on Thursday, didn't get a look at the merch though. Might tomorrow night in. Baltimore though.

 

They posted the merch, they also have a poster of just the admat

 

Do you remember what time they went on?

 

Went to the show in Jersey City last night. Great show all around. Menzingers went on at 10pm.

 

Agree the bonus tracks are better than a couple of Greg’s album tracks and are worthy of being the real closers

 

Went tonight and had a blast. Band sounded incredible. I gotta say though, I don’t think i’ve ever been to a show where that many people were bombed out of their minds. Enough where I noticed and I never notice haha.

 

Anyone know the opener/s for Australia?

 

This is a great album to jam while camping. Greg's solo album is too.

 

I thought I read something a few years ago where the Menz said their guarantees for shows are higher because promoters/venues (not sure how this works) know they’ll recoup a lot of that on alcohol sales because their fans drink a lot

 

They killed it last night in Orlando. Setlist was fantastic and I’m still sore.
