I love the band and album but that’s totally fair. I’ve been turned off on music/shows/movies for this exact reason before giving them an honest chance and coming around on them.
yeah after hearing the hype for it I finally listened a few months after and came out and was just kinda let down. It’s good but I prefer ATP and HE way more.
OTIP will always be their masterpiece to me. The fact that ATP comes sooooo close is kind of a miracle. The rest of their albums are just plain old A grade best record by almost any other band in history kind of works. RW is definitely the one I connect with the least. But has very high highs. HE is their most consistent front to back but lacks those amazing peaks that all their other records have.
Rented World is my favorite Menz album and these two singles are the most promising I've heard from them since, so I'm super stoked.
I think HE is their most cohesive album. It doesn't have the highest of Menzingers high's but I think it's my favourite album of theirs, front to back.
HE is a fantastic album that has the unfortunate task of following After the Party, which is also a fantastic album. No skips on either.
I like HE a lot but I hope the new album has more bite to it. My biggest issue with it was how mellow it is with with few moments where the energy level picks up, making it a bit monotonous
Like the first single more than the second, ATP is my favorite sounding Menz, OTIP second, and Gates is their best song. I think I've caught up on the last few pages. Oh, ATP > OTIP > HE > RW, haven't listened to any pre-OTIP stuff.
OTIP CW RW ATP HOD ALITAIT HE The top four are all god tier for me and that order can switch on any day haha
