    This video is 4 months old so I can't recall if it's been shared, but I just found this woman's channel and it has amazing stuff on it

    This album finally clicked for me! "Midwestern States" is maybe the best song Greg has ever written (not my favorite Menzingers song, but it is so technically and lyrically strong).

    Midwestern States and Your Wild Years. Too good. I thought this band would never be able to come close to OTIP, but I think they surpassed it with ATP.

    I can't wait to be in Chicago at Riot Fest this year and hear "AND I KNOOOOOW SOMEWHERE IN CHICAGO"
    Such a great song.

    Wrecked 'em? Damn near killed 'em!

    I just want to drop in here and show "Black Mass" some love. I wasn't crazy about that song when the album first dropped, but now it's one of my favorites. The only one I still have yet to get fully on-board with is "The Bars". It kinda drags on a little too long for me. Otherwise, This album is still very much in regular rotation for me. They absolutely nailed it. I was at their Philly show back in March and it was so cool to see these guys play to a room that big and receive that much love. Additionally, (aside from The Bars), Tom's songs on this album are top-notch. Boy Blue and House on Fire are such great sing-alongs.

    "The Bars" finally clicked for me when I was walking through the coty of Boston absolutely trashed and listening to this record while trying to get home. Been in regular rotation ever since lol

    I was walking from Fenway over to The Pru to meet some friends at like, 1 in the morning. The song came on shuffle and I was like "woah"

    I like The Bars, and the whole album for that matter, but if I was forced to rank every song, that would be towards the bottom for me out of necessity. Maybe a serendipitous bar experience would change my view, but the song has yet to hit me the way others on the album have to this point.

    The only song on the record that still does nothing for me is "Thick as Thieves."

    The Bars is probably a top 5 song on the record for me. Thick As Thieves is probably in my bottom half, but I still really like it and think it's a great track 2.

    This exactly. Both songs are great, especially in context of the rest of the record.

    Black mass and the bars are my least favorites. I don't think the menz pull off that style too well. I love thick as thieves tho

    I think the acoustic performances of the Bars and Black Mass might be better than the recorded versions, and I do like both, although they're def in the bottom half

    The Bars is so good. Black Mass is boring.

    This and "Building castles of cans and bottles/drinking like they do in novels" are maybe the best Tom lines on the record.

    It's crazy how this, Manchester Orchestra, Paramore, and Brand new are a four way tie for my AOTY

    Did anyone that attended the first ATP tour with Jeff Rosenstock and Rozwell Kid in Millvale, PA (Pittsburgh) have an extra tour poster or willing to sell the one they have?
