I agree that AI & 21 C are amazing albums with the former considered a classic. 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.

What are orange sand lemons? Where do they grow?

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

Arguably oranges and lemons are quite well comparable

Definitely Ai had alot of hype before it's release and it lived up to the expectations but like you I got pretty sick of it for awhile especially after storytellers because vhi played it constantly! Yet I always watched it though lol

Yesterday event has leaked. It was to taste the new oakland coffee flavor.

And they had to sign documents because it's so strong, half of them probably died.    I'm gonna pre-order coffee like it's 1981!

No, you can’t add apples and oranges but oranges and lemons are same but different.

Lol I tried to listen to foam again yesterday on YouTube,  it's crazy how bad it is yet fans in the lyric videos were like now this is green day! I was stunned,  I replied no it's really not lol one person on the video for junkies on a high said "it's like green day and imagine dragons made a song together" freaking awesome! I'm gonna assume this person was battling covid and the fever was getting to him.

I listened to FOAM again recently and also noticed lots of random background noises like chirps and such. Butch did that on Weezer’s Pacific Daydream too. So weird. That’s his trademark I guess.

The instrumental version brings out all the instruments like the piano. Awesome Motherfuckin' song.

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). 🙂

The quality of FOAM as a Green Day record could be questioned according to fans opinion, however Graffitia is a good song. It was placed in the wrong album, definitely.

All FOAM songs (aside from Fire, Ready, Aim) range from ok to good to me, what kills them is t hat they're badly produced or underdeveloped. I guess they weren't firing on all cylinders.

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.
