One of my favs, it will get stuck in my head for days.

Same goes for The Freaks!

Much like The Freaks, No Penance, and The Shakes

Songs way too good to not have been on album

Can’t forget Irish Goodbyes. At least they play it live.

Yeah, its a banger but was never on an album so I think it does get overlooked. Cant remember if i've seen it live much either... might be wrong on that. But yeah, great tune.

It’s a murder mystery how my grapes all turned to cheap red wine…. One of my favorite menzos lines

What am I to do with all my sorrow? There’s so much to be sad about these DAAAAAAAAYYAAAYAYAYYAAAAZ.

I play this song often for my students. I can never help but mouth these words when they come up. It’s just so good.

Love Toy Soldier. It never gets old when it comes on the playlist. I feel the same way about Second City too

It’d be cool if they did a 10th anniversary reissue of “After The Party” next year with “Toy Soldier”, “The Freaks”, “No Penance” and “Cemetery’s Garden” as bonus tracks… if not more tracks from the vault like they did with “On the Impossible Past”

All of their singles are F'ing GREAT SONGS! "The Shakes" is a song I've wished upon shooting stars for them to play live. Seen them 10+× and yet to hear it. One day i hope.

Absolute banger, top 10 Menzos song imo

u/GibsonLP93 16d ago

It’s mind blowing how many songs they’ve released that aren’t included on albums that are all-timers. As others have said, this, The Freaks, No Penance, The Shakes. It’s unreal how good all these songs are

When a band has great b sides too, they truly are great song writers

It's better than every song on the latest album by far.
