The Menzingers - After the Party (February 3, 2017) Album • Page 14

This song fucking rules. That tempo change towards the end hit such a sweet spot for me.

 

The new song is really good live. Greg's enunciation is really great, I didn't know all the lyrics but you can make them out perfectly when he sings them.

 

I wonder when the song hits iTunes, i need this in high quality.

 

Fuck I can't wait for this album. OTIP was one of the best albums I've ever found through this site. Rented World was amazing as well. I don't think it's AS good as OTIP, but it certainly has songs that are on par with the best on OTIP. "Transient Love"? Fuck.

 

Lookers is my favorite single of 2016 thus far

 

Yeah, same for me. This, "Chlorine" by Trophy Eyes & "Honey" by Moose Blood are my favourite songs this year for sure.

 

With you on "Chlorine," it's so good.

 

This song is incredible.

 

Took me a few days for whatever reason, but now that I've heard it, it's basically getting lots of YouTube views, courtesy of me constantly replaying it.

I cannot wait to get this album.

 

I know same here I've been listening on repeat since Friday.

Also pumped cause Im off to Fest this year and I can catch them live again.

 

For those interested, it's on spotify and iTunes.

 

I haven't thrown a ton of money at a preorder bundle since The Upsides, mainly because my tastes have changed drastically since then and mot artists I follow just do little preorder bonuses, but I am going to throw three figures at this thing if the bundle is even semi-decent.

 

i've listened to lookers like five times today already

 

Yeah, the second verse/chorus of this has been stuck in my head to a point where it's legitimately annoying, but when I listen it's great again.

 

Loving this new single, it seems very Frank Turner-ish.

 

I definitely hear that.

 

Are Jersey girls really total heartbreakers??

 

thats it?

 

probably like seven or eight now

 

Listened to this today, really good song. Hope they announce the album soon!

 

Jersey kid here, can confirm

 

pretty sure they teach heartbreaking in the schools of jersey

 

Lookers is fantastic, but I'm getting all edgy hanging out for an album release date.

 

This song is so good that it's showing up in my dreams. I can't wait to sing along live with this in a few weeks.

 

Saw these guys opening for Bayside this week, and man are they in good form. Not that they have ever put on a bad performance that I have seen, but there is something going on with these guys in really good way. You can tell they are excited to play shows again and share the new songs. And the couple of new songs they played (Lookers and Thick As Thieves) sound really good. Totally fit within their set.

Talking to one of the guys in the band after the show, apparently they are still figuring out how they want to perform Thieves on the road. I guess during the chorus there are more backing vocals and other things going that give it a "fuller" and "bigger" feel to it. Another thing about the record they shared is that if you like the feel of Lookers than you will like the album. They said they made a decision this time around to let parts of songs breathe more as opposed to stuffing those parts with too much instrumentation.

In one of my comments to the band member, I mentioned how I thought it made total sense that Will Yip was doing their record and that I was excited to hear the finished product. His response made it very clear that they are aware of the message board takes on Will's work. Aside from complimenting Will's work ethic, he said that Will was very good about having cool ideas for where to add harmonies and where to throw in a bridge. I didn't ask specifically, but I get the sense that the bridge on Lookers was Will telling the band they should write a bridge.

All in all it was a good show and a good conversation. I think he said they would be back to the midwest in the spring, so I am looking forward to that.
