The Menzingers - After the Party (February 3, 2017) Album • Page 37

I feel the exact same. It was crazy when they didn't announce a date and then when they did it was like 4 months away. So happy it's almost here.

Yeah I hope so. It would be nice to have another single to take us into the last month.

That being said, who's listening if a single comes out and who is waiting for the record. I'm gonna listen.

 

Can't wait

 

We should do a countdown of the top 30 Menz songs from now until Feb 3rd because that certainly won't create any divergent opinions or strife.

 

1. Tom's songs

 

2. Dubstep remix of Ava House

 

Ya know what, I'm takin' the bait: I'mma do me a top ten.

1. Sun Hotel #2
2. Casey
3. In Remission
4. Gates
5. Burn After Writing
6. Nothing Feels Good Anymore
7. No Ticket
8. My Friend Chris
9. Rodent
10. Kentucky Gentlemen

 

I listened to Tom on a podcast last month and he said there would be at least one more single. I'll probably binge the new single for a few days, but I've been trying not to burn myself out on the other two because they've been out for so long.

 

Sun Hotel is BY FAr the best Menz jam. Its the closest to a hymn/pub song. Love it so damn much.

 

Heard Lookers on my local radio station this morning and got very excited for this album all of a sudden.

 

Lookers is so good. I love this band because the role nostalgia plays in their music and lookers is loaded up with nostalgia. On the impossible past is a classic. Didn't love Rented World. Cannot wait until I can listen to this album.

 

The Menzingers – “After The Party” (song not record)

 

okay well shit

you don't care if anyone is watching
just as long as you stay in motion

 

Greg sounds fantastic

 

Hell yes. This is so damn good. Probably my favorite of the three. Gregs vocals sound great!

Surprised we got 3 Greg songs and not a Tom song before release. Thought we'd get Thick As Thieves since they were playing it last year

 

Was there a Tom song pre release for rented world?

 

Good question.. I know they released a third song but the album leaked so early that I didn't pay attention to what it was

 

YES TO THIS! Another great song from what is shaping up to be a fantastic album!

 

I thought it was just in remission and asshole, but I could be wrong

 

I'm surprised they released the second to last song as one of the singles

 

From ATP's Amazon page:

For their fifth full-length After the Party, The Menzingers set out to make the quintessential jukebox record: an unstoppably melodic album primed for bar-room sing-alongs. Delivering anthemic harmonies, furious power chords, and larger-than-life melodies, the Philadelphia-based garage-punk four-piece amply fulfills that mission while achieving something much more deeply nuanced. With its delicately crafted storytelling and everyman romanticism, After the Party ultimately proves to be a wistful but life-affirming reflection on getting older but not quite growing up. “We spent our 20s living in a rowdy kind of way, and now we’re at a point where it seems like everyone in our lives is moving in different directions,” says Tom May, who joined fellow singer/guitarist Greg Barnett, bassist Eric Keen, and drummer Joe Godino in forming The Menzingers as teenagers in their hometown of Scranton. With each song unfolding as its own fully realized story, After the Party came to life thanks largely to an introspective yet outward-looking lyrical sensibility on the part of Barnett and May. Produced by Will Yip (Title Fight, Balance & Composure, Pianos Become the Teeth) and recorded in Yip’s Conshohocken, Pennsylvania-based Studio 4, After the Party finds the band breaking into new sonic terrain. The Menzingers’ most refined album to date, After the Party was also shaped from an intensive writing and pre-production process that involved holing up for five weeks in Yip’s studio. Along with sculpting more expansive arrangements, the band focused on experimenting with new effects and production techniques to forge the album’s dynamic but intricately textured sound.

 

You could be right. They released Asshole the day the record got leaked I'm pretty sure which was over a month before release so I thought they released another one

 

I mean you could be right too haha. I'm totally blanking out

 

"after the party" is a great song. damn

The Menzingers – “After The Party”

 

Awesome song, not that I was expecting anything less after "Lookers" and "Bad Catholics." I'm more and more excited for this album every day.

 

The vocal performance on all their new tracks are top notch.
