I ordered from the Europe Store by accident and ended up getting the Aqua Blue Vinyl.  I live in the states though.  Will there be any difference between the version I bought and the United States version or is the only difference the color?

Yeah Tom will record all his vocals with a British accent for the euro release  /s

I really doubt there is any difference other that vinyl color. How did you had to pay a ton for shipping though? I mean, I thought about getting that blue one because it looks way better than the black but I can't justify the extra cost.

Haha.

Yeah, I honestly like the Europe Color so much better than the United States one. I have no idea how I didn't notice I was on the Euro site though. I was kind of weirded out by the prices when I got to the shipping page and ended up getting the cheapest one which was 8 bucks. I wondered why priority mail was 18 bucks and now I Know.

I'm struggling with this new single....

I already thought they were terribly close to the New Found Glory, Sum 41, Pop-Punk sound, but this one seems to have crossed into that territory of forgettable bands that all sound the same...

I hope the record retains some more of that edge that made OTIP so special...

Yeah. I think it's the guitar tone

you've heard it already? how did you swing that?  

oh, I misread "will rule" as "rules". No longer super jealous   

my friends have, they are buds with jon low (he produced the latest the national record and restorations records) as I stated earlier.

The song does rule. I'll never get tired of the vocals in the Menzingers. He sounds so different and fresh. I love this frickin band.

To me, there are a lot of moments on the last Menzingers album that made me want to weep. But this new song doesn't. The lyrics are still great, just not super stoked about the musical direction. Again it is one song, and I've already listened to it like 3 times today so it could be worse

Reppin' the prep baby. Couldn't agree more

Felt like that new song was never going to end. Has none of the magic I loved from the last album. Let's hope this isnt the best they can muster up for the new album

Huh. Surprised there are so many lukewarm to negative reactions to this song. I think it's great, personally.

Well I'm having the same mixed feelings as a lot of people on here are apparently having...although I do prefer the song without the music video accompanying it.

Maybe it's just me but I don't see this as a big enough departure from OTIP that it's a cause for concern. Like if this song was in the middle of that album I wouldn't think it was an outlier.

Jesus....I can't stand Zach Neil. He seems like such an ignorant, unprofessional jackass. Who gave that guy a job?

I've seen him talk crap on other music sites before. I think he works for Hopeless Records and signs bands. He seems to insult bands he turned down in the past on music websites. He commented on the new Menzingers song and wrote, "Good to see after 3 albums he still can't sing in key" so I got into a little tiff with him. I'm just tired of his crap, I've held back in the past, but I just had to let loose this time. Guy is a total tool. I think I offended him though.

Damn, I love In Remission so much. Can't wait for Rented World. Though I would be very, very interested in an all-Greg Menzingers album. No offense, Tom.

I have a feeling Rented World is going to be just as good as OTIP. Rodent sounds great, can't wait to hear the whole thing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vjLxq69gPM

anyone going to the Pawtucket show? who's opening for them?
