Broken English

Skiba is getting weirder and weirder. Glorifying a paedophile on Instagram is where I really draw the line.

They’ve been shamelessly waving the pop punk flag for 20 years, you have to respect that. I like the single.

If you can’t hear the identical melody of the first verse of Yellowcard song and the chorus of Lucid Dreams, then I’m not sure what to tell you. Men at Work lost a case a few years back on the song ‘I come from a land down under’ with something far less identifiable.

So they’re still suing a talentless rapper that coincidentally died? Why should I care? The similarities in the song are pretty striking.

I like it. “Part of me stays in the room where we met” is a great line.

I like it. I like the amount of whinging in this topic more though.

Well that’s reassuring. Seriously though, you don’t find even the name a little embarrassing?

That’s a fair call. Even the name of the genre pisses me off. “Gothboiclique”? Really?

What the fuck is this shit?

High School Friend may be the best song they’ve ever released. The nostalgia hits me in all the right places, and the lyrics are fucking amazing.

It’s better than I was expecting, but given that they haven’t released a memorable album in 15 years, I wasn’t expecting much. Some good tracks, some average filler, some bland and uninspired nonsense.

I would suggest... Lookers After The Party High School Friend Casey Burn After Writing Rodent.

The more I listen to it, the more I like it. They should be a much bigger band than they are.

Yeah, nah.

Parody is a bit harsh, and also, who memes the Menzingers?. Theres a few songs that don’t really grab me at me at the moment, but then I’ve never really cared for a lot of their slow songs. By far the two worst songs on After The Party were Black Mass and The Bars, and similarly, I don’t particularly care for Hello Exile and I Can’t Stop Drinking on the new one. I still think its a pretty awesome release, there’s some amazing tunes on here.
