Malleus Posted September 24, 2012 Posted September 24, 2012 Best opener was between Burnout, American Idiot and Nuclear Family but I had to go with Burnout. It just sets the tone for the album so perfectly and it's so kick ass. Best closer was between Whatsername and Macy's Day Parade and while I like MDP more, Whatsername has gotta be a near perfect closer. It's such a great a song and a chilling way to end such an emotional rollercoaster of an album.

SEAtacticsFTW Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 It was tought but I voted for NGFL and Prosthetic Head. NGFL starts out amazing and sets the tone pretty well. Prosthetic Head really ends with a punch to the face and a fuck you to the fake people.
Slave To The Network Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 Definitely AI for both the opener and closer. American Idiot is such a solid, energetic track to start with and get the person into the story of the album and Whatsername leaves a feeling of uncertain finality that can't be beat. Such a great album in every way!
armatage Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 It's a really tough choice, but I went with Burnout - I love how Billie just proclaims the whole theme of the album with the opening lines basically. And for a closer - yet another though choice, but this time it's Macy's Day Parade. I think it just suits the whole album very well, lyrics are eloquent (just like the whole album.. there's space for interpretation) and therefore it's a perfect closer.
Neurotics Posted May 31, 2013 Posted May 31, 2013 Nuclear Family is perfect song. I really think it's best opening track.
BJA_SA Posted May 31, 2013 Posted May 31, 2013 American Idiot & Oh Love Song of the century sounds like something in which it would be the last song to ever exist on earth.
Flyingdonutz Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 I still don't see how walking contradiction isn't higher.
Marko Knezevik Posted June 10, 2013 Posted June 10, 2013 American Idiot as opening track and FOD as closer, no questions asked!
fromdecimateddreams Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 Whatsername for best closer, definitely. Especially after Homecoming, I feel like it really expresses this raw heartbreak that's present throughout the whole album and it's just really powerful. For best opener, I'm torn between American Idiot and 2000LYA.
belinda jane Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 I just love 21CB as an opener for the reason that it STILL gives me goosebumps when I listen to it. I can still remember waiting for the band to come out to that opener, and I think it makes me feel that emotional because it was the first time a lot of fans were seeing the band after their (about) 4 year break from touring. I dunno, that's just why I love it And the closing track is F.O.D for the obvious reason. It's just a good big ol' "fuck you" song.
Westside Highway Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 Burnout's first line is like the anthem of teenage life
KingForADay86 Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 My opener is definitely a tie between Burnout and Armatage Shanks... And my closer is a three-way tie between Macy's Day Parade, Whatsername and Prosthetic Head
