greendaytone Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 This^ How come the other two songs aren't somewhere out there to listen? Sandra (who uploaded the first 2) is planning to upload the others later. (she ran out of battery last night - camera battery i think, not her battery!)

spark in the night Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 "Well I'm a girl from Minnesota I call it pop and you call it soda" haha yes! I think its cute. I would call it lolli-punk The quality of the recordings reminds me of GD's early EPs, where they probably just recorded them in 1 or 2 takes. and it was probably in Billie's basement, don't they have their own recording studio? Also, to the people who do have copies, is there any information on the back of the album sleeve that says where it was recorded/produced? I'm not expecting Billie's address, but I was just wondering if there were any clever bits of info or messages on the sleeve?
Heather. Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 I was wondering about the quality of the recording too. I'm assuming this is how it sounds on the vinyl/CD and not just poor uploading. Part of me was surprised by that because they certainly have easy access to great recording equipment, but considering this seems like a fun thing they did, I'm not surprised they didn't try to make it sound professional.
WorryRock02 Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 well, the boo will not be one of my favorite band but...i think they are funny. you can enjoy with them
captain peroxide Posted December 20, 2011 Author Posted December 20, 2011 I didn't realize the only judgement people are allowed to make about this had to involve freaking out about how amazing and special and cute it is. It's new music, I don't really care if it was just for fun or whatever, I'm still going to evaluate it like I do any piece of music and state my impressions.
Fuzz Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 I might have secured a copy with a one dollar bribe.
Abbey. Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 I might have secured a copy with a one dollar bribe. ONE WHOLE DOLLAR?!?! SHAZAM! That man throws down some cheddah!
Whatsernamey Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 You guys should see this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mh7Tqrbw7D4&context=C38f919aADOEgsToPDskIiEN-qoZ0B2sqvB_NNdAOp There are two videos with songs of The Boo. I'm in love with these songs <3

I don't think anyone's freaking out about it, it's obviously not the best piece of music ever but it's certainly not terrible either. I think it's a pretty good effort, and Adie sounds great Is there anything Billie can't do?
Vrock09 Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 The songs are catchy as hell though..They've been in my head all damn day and I only listened to them twice lol I was wondering yesterday of why/how they came up the name "The Boo". What I came up with is totally bananas but, since Joey is doing Emily's Army and all, I wondered, (being from a family of 7 myself where sibling riverly is always a factor), if this was kinda Jakob's thing. I noticed in the comments of Sandras videos (thank you Sandra btw), that Jakob was listed as "The Boo". Not in the wrong sense where he's being an attention seeker, but maybe it was sorta a thing where Adie and Billie wanted to showcase his talents too. Considering his age, I was very impressed by his playing in both songs.....Now they could have just picked the name because it was sorta a quick thing and I think I'm probably looking into this more than I need to, but I was just daydreaming and it's Xmas break soo forgive me lol.

Yeah...no ones really freaking out though. They're just stating their own opinion just as you are.
WorryRock02 Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 well now billie have really several band inside his curriculum: sweet children green day rancid ( one shot) foxboro pinhead gunpowder network rodeo queens the boo xD he must to win guinnes record xD well well...now i want to listen to the other two!!
captain peroxide Posted December 20, 2011 Author Posted December 20, 2011 Is there anything Billie can't do? Yes. Yeah...no ones really freaking out though. I don't think the quote in your sig does your statement any favors
Sanity Loan Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 Well, I'm just trying to provide a counterpoint to the hordes of screaming fangirls proclaiming this to be the best thing ever. And yes, that is an exaggeration. I do agree with you that people are taking it over the top. My post addresses both sides. Those who are slamming it and those who think itz lyke tha best thang eva!!11!!!!1 Is there anything Billie can't do? Suck my dick
Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 But the thing is that no one's been slamming it... unless I missed some posts (which is entirely possible, it won't be the first time that happens), I've only seen people say they don't like or that they don't think it's great.

I've read some where people are against but not saying it's the worst thing ever. I think a lot of people are keeping to themselves though. I mean, it's just for fun like everyone's been saying. No biggie. Not the next Green Day or anything obviously.

I correct myself. "Slamming" = Not liking it
WorryRock02 Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 ...someone maybe have already said that...but evrytime we listen to a new song or a new band...someone 'll love it...other dislike it! it's normal! even with green day...we love them...but many other person didn't loves their music! got it? the boo is a new band...who care who 's palying in it, thay could be good for someone of us and not much good for others...i think that this is all.
Sanity Loan Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 I personally like it so far. Nice and simple. I actually like Adrienne's voice
oda Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 Why are everybody always judging each others opinions?
adie21 Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 Why are everybody always judging each others opinions? It's a new thing. It's bound to happen with every band.
Katarina. Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 Earlier today I listened to those two songs that have been put on youtube so far, and I like it. Liking it as in, the fact they gave that vinyl instead of a Christmas card/giving it as a present.. Now that is awesome and very creative! I think it's great Billie and his family got together for the Boo and recorded these songs. What a nice little project.
Sanity Loan Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 Why are everybody always judging each others opinions? You expect something different?
Bastard of 1967 Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 I personally like it so far. Nice and simple. I actually like Adrienne's voice She ain't bad at all, and Jakob's got some serious potential with that guitar. They've brought a lot of different styles together... a 60's "flower child" vibe a little like FBHT does, with some 80's new wave and punk blended in. Kindof like the Buggles meets the Beatles meets the Go-Go's. Thumbs-up IMO.
