   Fantastic punk-rock all around. Lyrically, it's outstanding, but the vocals drive it home and the instrumentation keeps it there. The rest ofFantastic punk-rock all around.

   I've always known about this band but finally gave them a proper listen just a few days ago.

That being said, it's in my top 3 favorite albums this year. I've listened to it about 5 times already and it's not leaving my stereo anytime soon. It captured my attention the first time I listened to it, and for me that's rare. Takes me at least two or three spins to fully appreciate an album. The Menzingers are a fantastic punk band that should get more attention than they already have now. The lyrics are very well thought out and meaningful. This isn't your typical punk band that's very snappy and to the point, no. It's a punk band that incorporate deep lyrics and passion behind the words. It sounds like The Gaslight Anthem if Brian Fallon yelled a lot. Other than that, they're both very similar sounding. "Obituaries" is the standout track for me. All In All, On The Impossible Past is an incredible record. A-… Expand

To be honest their sound is basiscally a less produced version of Blink 182. While the songs aren't bad (some of them are quite good in fact), they really lack originality. There's not much on show to set them apart from the rest of the Generic American Punk Rock bands out there.… Expand

   Lyrics are somewhat interesting, but from a musical standpoint the album is contrived and boring, rather generic.

Only one track on the album stands out but even it has a ugly and disgusting feel to it .… Expand
