The Menzingers - Some Of It Was True (October 13, 2023) • Page 34

Just got this email about my Menz web store order:

 

I got that too, was there some issue with this pressing that I didn't hear about? It seems like a lot of the vinyl delays from 2022/2023 have been worked through because I've started getting pre-orders a lot closer to the release date but this one has taken a while.

 

by God the impossible has happened...we received a shipping notification

 

same!

 

Came in!

 

Anyone else really like "Alone in Dublin"?

I'd put it up there with the best Menzingers tunes but judging by Spotify plays it doesn't seem to be very popular.

 

I would say it’s in my top 3 from the album, I’d say.

 

Same, it is a great song

 

Finally here!

 

Mine arrived too, and my first reaction is this:

So the alternate cover is just…a big piece of paper?

 

some of that is true

Wait the alternate cover is just a print out stuck to the front of the album???

 

I don't dislike it, but it's not one of my favorites on the album. The only song I actively dislike is I didn't miss you

 

That is how most alternate covers are nowadays. At least all of the ones I have

 

I like that you're solution-oriented.

 

Yeah, I just don't think that counts as an alternate cover. Sorry. Print the sleeve with the alt or don't bother.

 

The setlist for their UK tour has been almost perfect.

Particularly, they've been playing pretty much only the best new songs (Come on Heartache, Hope Is a Dangerous Little Thing, Nobody Stays, Some of It Was True, There's No Place in This World for Me, Try, Ultraviolet).

I'd have preferred Alone in Dublin to Ultraviolet but that's it.

 

very cool rig rundown.

 

Same for the Hamburg show. Perfect mix of new songs and old ones. If anything, not a single song from Chamberlain Waits was the only thing that was bugging me a bit.

 

That is a significant bummer. Kinda glad I missed out on those then.

 

I saw them last night in Manchester and they were incredible. Those new songs really come alive played live

 

Yeah, I'm kind of pissed I paid an extra $10 for it. I might just try to sell this one. I haven't been going back to this album that much anyway, and the period when I would have spun this record most (the first three months after release) is already gone!

 

I first listened to this whilst travelling South America last year. It was only when I got back to the cold, dark UK the album really hit for me. I think it's up there with HE as my favourite of theirs, front to back.

 

Since I've received the vinyl, I have been revisiting this often.

I get such a joy from this album. When it is all said and done, this could be a tier one Menzingers album for me. It makes me feel some kinda way.
