Some "heartland punk" as I call it. New stuff from The Menzingers. No color variant because vinyl is expensive as it is so I save a few bucks any way I can. The Menzingers - Everything I Ever Saw (2026) #themenzingers #vinyl #records #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #vinylsky #recordcollection

It just seems more lively somehow

Ryan Garrett @ryangarrett.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

I don't know that I would, just that I probably could. I do think the version of No One Else as the opening track has more energy than the LP version.
