The Menzingers - Some Of It Was True (October 13, 2023) • Page 20

wild takes being dropped rn

 

I was hooked right away.

 

I get major Social D vibes off some of the guitar licks + tom songs. Big fan.

 

I don’t know why the intro/instrumental to Alone in Dublin sounds like the theme song to an 80s show to me. Just me?

 

Sounds like a perfect Menzingers fall record, I love this band, can’t wait to dive in some more

 

I love the lyrics on this one. More accessible to me than Hello Exile.

 

I think OTIP and HE are their best, followed by RW, and I have a feeling this record is a perfect combination of those three.

 

I swear I cannot hear this similarly at all. Which part of the song?

 

Honestly I got nothing concrete to it and I’m more just going off vibes lol

When I hear Tom’s vocal melody in the verses they just remind me of something Green Day would write.

 

Tom's songs have often reminded me of Green Day

 

Fair.

I've always found the Tom songs to have a bouncy Green Day/ Bouncing Souls vibe.

 

I would kill for Green Day to put out an album as good as Warning again

 

This run of songs is absolute perfection

 

100% correct

 

Been listening to this album all weekend. It's a great Fall album and another gem in the band's catalog.

 

Just keeps getting better with each listen. Pairs nicely with the latest Spanish Love Songs album.

 

After several listens I feel like I can comfortably say this probably won’t touch OTIP or ATP for me, but that’s perfectly okay. It will slot in nicely in that second tier (which is still very, very good) with RW/HE/CW. This band can do no wrong

 

Title track is perfect.

 

Yeah this album rules. Do not understand the hate.

 

Title track is incredible I just wish it were a minute longer.

 

Title track is definitely my stand out rn

 

This is where I am at too!

 

Listened to this 3 times on a plane ride today and can safely say nobody stays in one of my favorite menzingers songs ever and Tom really is the mvp of this album I adore all four songs of his. Honestly the first two singles might be my least favorites on the album but this is yet another fantastic album from these guys, they’re a special band I feel so happy they’re continuing to make music.

 

Nobody stays is easily the highlight for me

 

I think this is the most 90s they've ever sounded and that rules haha. Only got to listen once so far, but Ultraviolet is my favorite track. Hope is a Dangerous Little Thing is going to be a blast live.
