Peel Slowly And See Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 And if this becomes as successful as American Idiot, millions of fans cant be wrongBackstreet Boys' self-titled is fourteen times platinum.
ferryfan Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 this review seems like a personal (and unfounded) tirade against Green Day. personal because it attacks everything but their music for most of it. unfounded because they argue, for example, that Green Day claim to represent the youth or people of today when that is bullshit. in almost every interview they have said they wanrt people to make up their own minds on issues. they don't preach to people or claim to represent anyone.
Guest Hayley Posted May 13, 2009 Posted May 13, 2009 This interview is bad but sputnik's interview is way worse...
SOMERTEN Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 The NME actually covers really good bands. Arctic Monkeys being one of them. Oasis not so much. it's just that the writers are a bunch of cockbrains.Arctic Monkeys? good band? George fuckin Formby with a suedehead? Nah.....I want to whack journos like that NME dickwad with the thesaurus they use to come up with new adjectives that make them sound more intelligent than they are. I can't even remember the name of the last band they said were the next big thing (some drag queen who played piano and sung like Larry the Lamb..)Oh and don't wipe your arse with Kerrang sweetie, you'll end up with an imprint of Aiden on your arse for months.
chickin'pickin' Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 Arctic Monkeys? good band? George fuckin Formby with a suedehead? Nah.....Matter of opinion, sweetheart. Mine being that NME would have a very good review on their hands if they weren't such hypocrites. i.e. Having Green Day on the front cover to sell their magazines.
RebelofSuburbia Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 I just don't get the 'oh it's not a punk album' critisism. So it might not be as raw and punkish as Dookie or Insomniac, but that doesn't matter it's not good music. Sure, Green Day consider themselves to be a punk band. But in every interview, when asked to define punk they all talk about the lifestyle and the ideas that fit with punk. Never about the music or how a punk band is supposed to sound. So why would they have stepped off 'everything they believed in' when an album doesn't have the raw punk sound to it? To be honest, I wonder what would've happened if they'd made a Dookie-like 'punk-record'. They would probably have been critisized for repeating something they've done before and living on old succes.
*Jade_Green_Day* Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 I never really go by reviews, as whenever I read them, I usually always disagree.NME has never been a favourite mag of mine. I never find their features compelling enough to take any notice to them. Lets see what they say in a few months time...I'm sure they'll change their mind, not that I'll read it to find out.
dangreenday Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 NME SUCKS Anyways and ALWAYS HAS!!!an absolute Terrible read, its like some guy has hacked in2 the site and just made this shit up!! sorry but i think thats the worst so called REVIEW i have ever read ever...
*Jade_Green_Day* Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 Mixed review from some guy at the BBC...http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/reviews/b6w6Griping vaguely against 'authority' tends to be the domain of the teenager, and these guys are now approaching 40.Ultimately 21st century Breakdown is a startlingly hummable album that breathes life into a musical form that should, by rights, have died out 30 years ago. Such creativity is to be lauded,
