Actual Menzingers' lyrics:
"Oh yeah, oh yeah, all hope abandoned
I'm not young enough to be a companion
Not old enough to be a guide
What a cliche, time to try
Oh, where are we gonna go, oh, now that our twenties are over?"
are we talking about the same band here?

Doesn't that confirm what I said?

Album Rating: 4.0
Yes, I'm agreeing with you, I'm confused why everyone else is so confused
|

Isnt that line for their more recent though? This particular album doesnt get into mid-life crises vibes like the other one does imo

Yep, he was referring to the band though not specifically this album.
|

ah ok yeah thats fair, not a fan of that newer album for similar reasons tbh

Album Rating: 4.5
yeah I guess those lyrics fit with the midlife crisis thing, but the song is still fun as hell. it's like saying "oh yeah everything is terrible, but fuck it, let's have a good time anyway, cheers"

"are we talking about the same band here?"
thought we are discussing this album here. you know, the one this dude slapped a 1 on and then claimed it's for middle age sad sacks to cry over. go argue on the after the party thread if that lyric is your reference

"I remember, when you came around
I was younger
Burning statues to the ground
Now I'm older and tired
I no longer see the differences"

I meeeeean
“And then I let a thousand splinters
Pierce right through my spoiled liver
Whatever that was left of it
[Verse 2]
Cause I cursed my lonely memory
With picture-perfect imagery
Maybe I'm not dying
I'm just living in decaying cities
But I'm still healthy, I'm still fine
I've been spending all my time
Reading the obituaries.”

both examples are literally looking back on a memory and singing about it. like 90% of songs in existence. they were in their early twenties when this album was written lol. the midlife crisis thing ends now. teenagers spoil their livers on the daily btw
|
| |
lol this album rules and rating a 1 is just a travesty, thats the takeaway here
|
| |
Album Rating: 4.5
yeah this album is not looking thousand years back like you seem to take it

I got a 4.0 on it, but this album is definitely for middle aged sad sacks to cry over, and if you don’t fit that demographic it’s gonna go over your head, guaranteed
-a middle-aged sad American sack

"middle aged sad sacks"
I need your definition of middle-aged because uhhhh

I am genuinely wondering what the demographic break-down of this band would look like. Skimmed through setlist.fm, and these guys basically haven't gone many times outside the US over the past two years - a few festival tour dates aside and one tiny European tour. I guess this is an American thing.

I guess you are more of an outlier then?
Maybe it's not just the middle-aged sacks, but also 25 year olds who are crying over their life failures, drowning themselves in acid every weekend, and feeling depressed about working low-paid jobs? Shit take, I know. Just thinking out loud. Butt still doesn't tie in here, because he's got a nice job and is a positive person.
