The Menzingers - "In Remission" - YouTube

Thoughts?

crazy, a buddy just posted this on facebook and i was contemplatin makin a thread on them. im not very familiar with ths type of music or this band so i guess i under estimated how big they are. they are from near me so i thought they were more just local or whatever.


love this song tho. i will be checkin out more of them soon

New album? incredible news. On the Impossible Past is one of the ten best albums of this decade in my opinion.

Like Manky says On the Impossible Past was a brilliant album and definitely circulated in the UK, think they've had a decent following in the U.S for a while. Some of their shows over here sold out really quickly albeit they were in fairly small venues, I think they only had about six gigs two of which were cancelled so hope they can add a few more next time around.

On the first listen I wasn't blown away by this song, but I'm glad that on the face of it, this album won't be a rehash of OtIP which it so easily could have been.

Agreed, except maybe top 20. It sucks though cause usually I'm never in the mood to hear it because I've listened to it nearly 30 times. Massive replay value, that record.

Loving this song, and hyped for the new album.

Going to echo everyone else's sentiments regarding the last one: one of the best of the decade.

I like this better than "In Remission." The album leaked. I don't like it as much as the last two but it'll probably grow on me. Does anyone find the accent the vocalist uses on some of the tracks a little distracting though?

Updated..

I'm with you so far Crowquill, hoping it will grow on me but they had a lot to live up to and I'm sure it will grow on me in time.

Re Barnett's accent it's just one of those things you either like or don't I guess. The accent isn't one I really like, maybe it's unfairly synonymous with what are seen as "emoey" bands I can't stand, but I think it suited OTIP so well, and really just works for them. He definitely seems to have a bigger influence on this album though.

Oh, I suppose they're okay. I saw them open for a band I can't at present level of intoxication remember a whiles back, when Menzingers were still early-on. I quite liked their first albums but it's been a whiles since I've listend to um.

I'm not feeling the new album upon first listen.
Dare I say it, but it sounds almost a little insincere and generic.

Although because I was such a fan of OTIP I was persevere and listen until I appreciate this albums greatness.
