bjrules Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Bit of a bump, but I feel like I've got a good one for this thread: Don't get me wrong, I love Nimrod. However, since literally the day I first heard it, I've always felt that there's something off about the way it was produced. It's almost like it's too loud and there's too much treble or something. I know people always complain about Californication by the Red Hot Chili Peppers being affected by the loudness wars, but I notice it way more on Nimrod. Especially on Jinx, Haushinka, Take Back and Platypus. I honestly always skip Jinx because it's simply way too loud. Please tell me that I'm not insane and someone else notices this!

mychemicalgreenday12 Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Dookie is a good album but not nearly as good as 1,039 smoothed out slappy hours, kerplunk or even insomniac 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outofmind Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 I couldn't handle watching Ordinary World... it was too upsetting. I wanted to kick the guys out of the hotel room who were being disgusting perverted 3qt8y34hfeshfushfuewfufhshfwehoufws! There is nothing entertaining about watching a female get undressed... especially when you are a married guy who gets to see someone you LOVE do that almost daily... they should've known better.. idiot characters.

If that album was recorded like Dookie, and you dropped Dominated Love Slave, I think it's an overall better album than Dookie. I'd also argue that it's a more mature album than Dookie in a lot of ways too. I think it's certainly a lot more introspective. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slave To The Network Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 I absolutely agree that Insomniac is way better than Dookie. I definitely like 39/Smooth and Kerplunk more than Dookie, but I can't decide if they are better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacejunkie punk Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Dookie was never one of my favorite albums but I always thought that was because half of the songs were such hits they got overplayed. Because of that I don’t listen to it much unless I’m really in the mood for that sound (and I’ve already played Insomniac lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarriedtoMikeDirnt Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Kerplunk sucks (though it does have some good songs). I hate it. The only people who can honestly say they like it are the sentimental fools who love the 90s. RevRad is better than American Idiot. Nightlife is a good song, it's just that damn filter on Billie's voice that makes it unbearable. Dookie is overrated. Christian's Inferno is one of the worst GD songs. Homecoming isn't that good of a song, and it's overhyped. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only people who can honestly say they like it are the sentimental fools who love the 90s. Is it because of the production quality? When I first listened to it I felt this way, the sound was so jarringly bad compared to later albums that I thought I'd never enjoy it the same as them. But after a few listens I noticed the difference less and less and soon it just blended in with their other stuff. It doesn't sound weird or different to me at all now, the rougher quality to the singing and music just became part of it's charm the way other variations between their albums do and I enjoy listening to it exactly the same as any of their albums. Same with 39/Smooth and the other old stuff. The last four "bonus tracks" on Kerplunk (the Sweet Children EP) are a rough one since they're clearly very old songs and have the worst recording quality but everything else holds up fine for me. It's pretty much a slightly rougher Dookie (which makes sense since they got signed to make their first major label album - Dookie - based off it), imo if you're into Dookie you'll probably be into it and one is no more "90's" than the other. All of Green Day's 90's stuff is very "90's" so liking Green Day and that time period's sound go hand in hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the songwriting aspect is good for the most part, but I just can't listen to it. There's like six or seven songs off that album that I will listen to. And the "bonus tracks" are bad (except My Generation. That's a good cover). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I felt the exact same the first time I heard it, great songs/lyrics but the production and singing was so rough sounding I thought it would stop me listening to it. But it literally just sounds like any of their albums to me now, no more different than the differences in style between any of the others. And yeah I don't consider the last tracks part of the album, it's an earlier EP they made when they randomly happened to get some time in a studio when on the road and just knocked out some old songs they hadn't recorded before plus the cover. I guess the early stuff isn't for everyone but that was my experience anyway so I would recommend giving it some more listens, since it's a great album. Same goes for 1,039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jengd Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Isn’t it funny, their cover of My Generation is probably my least favourite. I think there are great songs on Kerplunk but while I know they would never do it, a little part of me would like it really-recorded with a little more polished production but I do like it as early, raw, GD and I especially think you can sense their potential in it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paxton Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 -1,000 Hours to American Idiot is the only stuff worth listening to. Severe precipitous decline in lyrics, songwriting, authenticity, originality, edge, panache and finesse since the AI album cycle ended. Revolution Radio is the best thing they've released since AI and even then....EHHHHHHH. -Foxboro Hot Tubs is terrible. Recycled progressions, song structures and riffs (I know its Green Day but it's still nice to hear something that hasn't been done 10,000 times before) -The Longshot is incredibly dull and boring. -The Frustrators are the best "Green Day related" band -The albums rank as follows: 13. Father of All Motherfuckers 12. Dos 11. Tre 10. 21st Century Breakdown 9. Uno 8. Revolution Radio 7. 39/Smooth 6. Warning 5. American Idiot 4. Nimrod 3. Dookie 2. Insomniac 1. Kerplunk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
