The Menzingers - Some Of It Was True (October 13, 2023) • Page 9

This is what I was expecting the record to sound like. I feel like Greg has been working towards a song like this for the last few records.

 

this sounds like it would fit right in on his solo record. great song. still think 'Guest In Your House' might be the best song he's ever written.

 

Guest in your house is profoundly beautiful and honestly is one of my favorite songs ever. We saw Greg live at the beat kitchen and my wife cried during that song, I feel like his solo album kind of got looked over around here.

 

Yep this is my favorite of the three so far.

 

i still listen to it regularly. its so good.

 

3/3

 

Aw man this song is so good I wish it was longer! Anyway, agree this is the best of the bunch

 

3/3 They ain't missing right now.

 

This rules

 

Cool song. They shot that at this abandoned mansion about 5 minutes from my house.

 

damn theyre like 0.5/3 for me now unfortunately and i love every record of theirs post the debut

 

That’s absolutely wild to me

 

Insane, but like what specifically is different here? To you

 

Yeah, this is gonna settle in with their best tracks I think

 

i have unfort just found their songwriting to be really predictable and by the numbers to me lately. like take this song for example: i thought the chorus was okay until i realized it was the chorus and not the verse and that the verse covers like the exact same melodic ground lmao, so most of the song kinda feels like nothing is happening to me. i dont think theres much sonic difference but idk the bones of these songs arent really impressing me much

would l o v e more than anything to be proven wrong by the new one tho. i adore tf out of hello exile and thats a contentious record to a degree so i thought i was gonna just kinda dig everything they did lol

 

I wish Hello Exile had the production these 3 songs have had so far. I’ve gotten used to it, but damn would that have elevated Anna, London Drugs, etc

 

i do back that the production is very very good this time around. so are gregs vocals

 

Also, have they just completely accepted that Greg is the lead vocalist now? Seems like all the singles are his for a while now.

 

Oh shit, same haha. That's incredible. I walk my dog by there all the time.

 

tom sings one of the songs theyve been playing live iirc

 

I think that one is "Try".

But I feel like a good 2/3 or 3/4 of live songs lately are Greg

 

yeah they def promote greg more heavily. hello exile had 0 tom songs as singles. i was expecting try to come out early it might still but idk

feel like tom singles are always the non album stuff which again kinda says theyre not really promoting his stuff the same way

 

Greg songs > Tom Songs

Prefer the americana vibes vs the pop punk vibes

 

i understand what you're getting at here but I feel the simplicity is really elevating the latest tracks.
