All About Dookie from PopMatters

[Little Girl Little One]

thanks for posting here, I always forgot to check popmatters once in a while.

did i tell you that i love your sig? xD

And... I'm not a huge fan of this song, and I think this guy isn't a fan either, because he kept it as short as he could I really like how he talks about the narrator's intentions and all

Hehe, I check every couple of days, I feel special when I'm the one who tells people these things.

Thanks, I like the sig too lol! The quote's from this guy on Sparknotes (yeah, I'm a little bit of a nerd) who writes this series called "Blogging Twilight" and I swear, he's freakin' hilarious. I've actually laughed out loud several times at his entries. So... if you're into that kind of stuff, check it out!

Yeah, this isn't my favourite Green Day song either, but it's not bad lol. I like how he wrote it too.

Armstrong would love to spend time with you… uh, if you’re not too busy.

My schedule is wide open, Billie Joe, you're welcome to waste MY time!

No problem! Anything to spread the Dan-love around! Haha, I've had my family give me more than a few shifty eyes when I read Sparknotes lol. Oh, and in case you ever happen to join, my name there is Shyell.

Yay, got yet another one! This time it's When I Come Around, and I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that he likes this song:

YAY!

*runs to read*

EDIT: The guy really LOVES this song i'll have to listen to dookie tomorrow morning now, lol

1,700 posts omg, I'm here way too much

[Supermodel*Robot]

oh yeah, this guys likes the song A LOT. I've been waking up to Dookie for the past two weeks & that daily repetition of the songs makes these articles even more interesting.

I can't wait fore Coming Clean, that song is amazing.

[darenmay]

he likes it very much!

i'm loving this guy more.

[**She**]

Yes, AJ loves When I come around and I love his reviews. This is another great one. I like this part:

Armstrong’s lyrics rely on the fact that “when I come around” can have a literal and a metaphorical meaning. While the first verse is all about how Armstrong’s character is arriving to fulfill that person’s needs (the literal meaning), the second verse is a reversal that forces him to reevaluate his intentions (the metaphorical meaning).

I wish he would do every album

yes :B please, please, post it quickly!

I wish he would do every album

that would be eouc

I don't love When I Come Around like he does (I like it, but it was never a favorite), but that was well-stated.

And I love how as I was reading the review, it came up on my iTunes

Yeah, I get what you mean. It's a great song, but it's such a pop song, that I can't see it as my favourite. That makes no sense, but whatever.

[Little Girl Little One]

yes :B please, please, post it quickly!

Wish granted! Hehe, I'm on a roll with these!

This one's pretty short, but so is the song, I guess. I thought it was pretty good.

[Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love]

I really like the ones for When I Come Around and Coming Clean

[porksoda]

sometimes I wonder if it is the same person.

I believe it is. I've just been doing a lot of reading about Green Day, and one of the biographies I read states various times that Billie wrote a ton of songs for the same girl, including 'She,' 'One for the Razorbacks' and 'Time of Your Life.'

I'm not a fan of this review.

By the way did anyone see that comment about a band called the Mighty Deerlick, I couldn't find anything about them but I found it interesting.

Me neither. It's not that bad but he seems to only bother properly with the songs he really likes. Bah.

[Little Girl Little One]

ACK! You robbed my news!!

Haha, just kidding.

It was a REALLY short one, and yeah, it does seem that he only bothers to go in depth with his favourites.

[Supermodel*Robot]

It's kinda lame that he didn't talk about the music. He just attacked the lyrics.

[LetItBeHappy]

She and Time of your life = could be the same girl

One for the razorbacks and She = could be the same girl

One for the razorbacks and Time of your life =... not so sure about this one :/ Time of your life does sound like be written for someone that he actually loved, but and OFTR... no :/

The Coming Clean's review was okay, but I was expecting more... and Emenius sleepus... dude, this guy doesn't really like Mike's lyrics :/ He must do a decent job with In the end, or I'll cut his bollocks off! (?) xD

EDIT: IN THE END IS HERE!: http://www.popmatters.com/pm/post/120333-g...kie-in-the-end/ *goes to read it*

(sorry Little Girl Little One)

As catharsis, “In the End” does the job (in fact, it’s a great song to put on when faced with rejection and you aren’t partial to more morose musical tastes), but it doesn’t possess the depth a track like “When I Come Around” does

FAIL! And In the end is not about a girl, is about Ollie's new boyfriend ¬¬

REALLY?

[Prisca]

I lost my interest in this guys reviews. It seems like he started getting lazy after Coming Clean. What a disappointment. :down:

[LetItBeHappy]

REALLY?

the in the end thing? yes. It was on an interview that I haven't found and it was quoted on GDA's section of "song meanings". I'm mad with this guy for not understanding that song now

[Hermione]

I wish he would get over his obsession with When I Come Around and Basket Case

[Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love]

It's really getting kinda lame.

[**She**]

^I agree.

I was really looking forward to Emenius Sleepus because I like it so much and now I am quite dissapointed. That reviews looks as if he did not put much effort in it. He did not even take a look at the instruments and stuff like he did in the other ones.

As someone asked if it was the same person, referring to girls in several songs, I first thought you were talking about the author and decided that it really could be different persons writing those reviews because some are absolutety great while others are terrible.
