The Menzingers - Some Of It Was True (October 13, 2023) • Page 45

My theory was always No Penance got left off because the chorus sounds too similar to Charlie's Army

 

whats so funny about that is strawberry mansion has a nearly identical but worse hook than no penance so if thats true they certainly didnt care about stuff sounding like it after the fact haha

 

No Penance is SO GREAT

 

That was the first album in a long time that truly was incredibly relatable for me lyrically. It was like they were speaking about my life. I just fell in love. Plus, the music was so good. 10/10 album

 

Correct
And On The ImpossiblePast is better.

 

After the Party
Rented World

I like Boy Blue even if the middle section is the same as Green Day's Letterbomb

 

Yep, have always thought that. There's more than a little bit of American Idiot on that album, IMO.

 

Same. “We both got worthless diplomas, from worthless universities..”

 

holy shit i never connected that hahahah

 

The Flatliners put out Inviting Light like 2 months later and the closer also kinda rips off Letterbomb, even down to the lyrics. Weird coincidence

 

It's an album tailor made for when you're turning 30 and having a bit of an existential crisis

 

i just did the math and i turned 30 the year it came out, like 8 months after the album was released

 

Also livin ain’t easy sounds like a Green Day song and now I can’t think of which one…macys day parade?

 

Christie Road? Idk lol the mezingers (who I adore) have a lot of songs that sounds like a lot of Green Day songs
