AFTER THE PARTY

ROUND 2
___________

Thick as Thieves vs. Lookers

Midwestern States vs. Bad Catholics

Charlie’s Army vs. After the Party

Tellin’ Lies vs. Your Wild Years

 

Lookers (solely because Thick as Thieves did not deserve that 13-1 run it had on Black Mass after Black Mass had an early lead.... but also because Lookers is the better song)
Midwestern States
After the Party
Tellin' Lies

I'm confident saying that these are at least four of the top five songs on the album

 

Lookers
Midwestern States
After the Party
Tellin’ Lies

Sad to not vote for Your Wild Years, but Tellin' Lies is up there as one of my fav Menz songs

Hate to not vote for Charlie's but AtP is my fave on the album

Lookers

interested to see if any of these other songs can pull an upset or if we are just headed for the inevitable Lookers vs. After The Party final round. Glad thick as thieves got cursed with that Lookers matchup for doing Black Mass dirty.

Tellin’ lies is not my favorite on the album but the bridge / outro might be my favorite moment.

Your Wild Years

Who the fuck is voting against your wild years?!?!? Top 2 Menzingers song ever for me. This verse should’ve won a goddamn Pulitzer:

We drove up to Massachusetts together
Your old house was just like you remember
We stayed in your adolescent room
Rummaged through the boxes labeled "former you"
The souvenirs of happiness in the moment
Your wild years that you often mention
The sands of time in an hourglass
That you're always begging for back
I got drunk in the afternoon with your father in the living room
As the television broke the silence
You smiled, know that I was trying the best that I can do

 

or a Nobel Prize! It deserves the highest honor.

 

Lookers
Midwestern States
After the Party
Your Wild Years

rip to all of toms best songs on this record :(

 

Incredible verse, but I raise you this from Tellin’ Lies:

Like tension you can cut with a knife
Like a wedding ring that never fit right
Like a car alarm that won't stop howling
A decade lost in the motions to romance and cheap whiskey
The subtle sound of a fleeting feeling
Like four chords that don't love you no more
In a motel room, a sleeping bag on the floor
Is it wrong to say that things can change?
Is it wrong to say that things can change

Your Wild Years is incredible but just a tough matchup.

I do love Tellin' Lies, just not at the same level I love Your Wild Years. The wedding ring that never fit right line is so so so so so so good. God, I love this band.

I can't imagine anything but Lookers winning this album, but I want Your Wild Years to get as far as possible.

 

Lookers (This was a little tough for me! I think I prefer Thick as Thieves musically, but I prefer the lyrics in Lookers and I’ll give that the slight edge)

Bad Catholics (This is one of my favorite songs on the album - I love its chorus)

After the Party (This may be my favorite song of theirs)

Tellin’ Lies (I enjoy Your Wild Years, but this was a fairly easy choice for me)
