But to say that they are better that Dookie I feel is the wrong word. Different would be better. Dookie back in 1994 sent a seismic shock through the music sound at the time, ousting the by now dreary and boring grunge scene. As well as giving an amazing sound never heard before, the lyrics provided a connection with the listener that they could relate to, and was unique. So it certainly was not overrated. And is today still relevant with it's sound and message. Imho, if Dookie had not happened, GD would have died. And there would be no AI or 21st C, there would be no GDC for that matter.

pacejunkie punk Posted October 6, 2023 Posted October 6, 2023 Nimrod and Warning are my favorites over Dookie but I have to give props to AI, as overplayed as it is, whenever I do listen all the way through I’m reminded it’s genius. @jengd Is oranges and lemons the Brit version of apples and oranges to describe two things so different you can’t compare? All I think of when I hear Oranges and Lemons is the XTC album 2

Popular Post dudley dawson Posted October 6, 2023 Popular Post Posted October 6, 2023 Ok going to make one more comment to add just a touch of clarity: BASED ON ABSOLUTELY NOTHING AT ALL, I think the majority of folks here are going to be happy on the 24th (especially if you have been disappointed with the band’s recent output). And I am further convinced the Rob Cavallo effect is real (again, based on absolutely nothing at all). 🙂 34 2 7

Expand I’m in the minority who likes Pacific Daydream, but in any event, check out Bethany Cosentino’s (Best Coast) recent album Natural Disaster. Butch produced the entire thing (minus the last track) and played most, if not all, of the instruments and it sounds BEAUTIFUL. So I don’t think blame for FOAM should be placed fully at his feet. 1
