The Menzingers - After the Party (February 3, 2017) Album • Page 45

I believe so. Last time I looked the different horns up on YouTube that was it.

 

They just shot a music video/played a set in my best friends' house and I wasn't fucking there I'm so upset

 

Ironically I was there haha.

 

What song was the video for? After the Party?

 

The Greg songs are flawless on RW. Tom's are a lot weaker, on that album, and I think that's why it's underrated. Bad Things is pretty awesome though.

 

My girlfriend went to the march in DC and was going to try to go to Philly for the video afterwards and she didn't see the email that she got chosen until the day after so she's pretty bummed. No way she coulda made it to Philly in time though with all the people that were trying to leave DC

 

Can confirm it is still the devils goal song. It's not a very good goal song but it's cool for the devils to have a gaslight song.

 

After the Party is such a great song in every respect that I can overlook the fade out intro. Also, the way Greg described his approach to writing the lyrics makes me man-crush on him even more. I'm so fucking jazzed for this album.

 

You may have to write another screenplay for this record the way things are trending. Just saying.

 

I think I've listened to After the Party 10 times the past couple days. It really is that awesome, maybe a top 5 Greg song lyrically

 

Everytime this post gets bumped all I can hope for is a stream. I know they probably won`t stream this beast early though.

 

Just in reference to the fade out convo, I was listening to OTIP today and Sun Hotel fades out, but I don't really know if that got a second look on that song, so just wondering why the look on After the Party.

 

I know the band only has so much control over the release date, but does anyone really wait until the release date to buy the record anymore (I mean serious numbers wise and not a few stragglers)? The reason I ask is because when it's a week out I feel like everyone who was gonna pre-order has already pre-ordered so what does not streaming the record early really give you? Same question goes to the band and the record company. Just a thought/opinion.

 

I always wondered this too. You'd think streaming early would maybe convince some to buy it after listening and liking what they heard. I guess the flip is that once its streaming its very easy to pirate.

 

some of us are too lazy to listen to music through any avenue other than records/streaming service of choice

 

All I know is the second this thing streams/leaks I'm downloading it and blasting it forever. Then on February 3rd I'll go buy a physical copy because that still gets me excited.

 

The pirating is a good thought. I think that would deter them from streaming early, but still when it's only a week out, I feel like Epitaph might just be trying to squeeze every dollar out at this point. However, I am a biased opinion because I really want this record.

Definitely not denying that. I think I'm one of those people haha. But no amount of waiting by the record company to release a stream will make those people change their mind.

 

yeah, for me it's VERY rare that I diverge from that haha. It takes a record I'm REALLY anticipating to make that effort.

last 3 I can think of that I did that:
California
Brian Fallon
1975

 

I have pre-ordered and am sorely needing this in my ear holes and I don't particularly care how G I M M E

 

Not a bad list in the slightest. The last record I pre-ordered was The Wonder Years No Closer to Heaven. I'll buy pretty much anything they make though haha

 

Hahaha, except by the time I finish my next batch of edits, they'll have another LP out and then I'll be super behind.

And on the preorder/streaming discussion--I used to preorder CDs pretty often, but now I usually buy the digital the day it comes out (off bandcamp if possible). Started getting super disappointed with CD layouts/booklets and feeling like it wasn't worth it. La Dispute's Rooms of the House is a prime example of this; just a cardboard sleeve and that's it, no booklet, no extra art. Now I go for the digital to support the artist and since digital purchases can be downloaded immediately and have the instant gratification factor, I see no real point in preordering.

 

Good points about the edits haha. How are those going besides presumably slow? Are you still working in indentured servitude out on the farm or whatever?

Only albums I pre-order are those I want on vinyl and don't have a ridiculous markup. You get the digital download card, so I do like it.

 

So maybe we'll get a stream today or tomorrow

 

I want so badly to believe but I'm not getting my hopes up
