Marrymebilliejoe Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 I'm just saying technically Green Day is on their twice...I am going to include the Twilight soundtrack
Tek Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 We're talkin bout the regular case... Ive seen pics of folks posting pics of the lyric sheet and all the cuss words are edited... Oh I was about to say...that is weird...
WhiteTim Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 Oh I was about to say...that is weird... The box set book is all unedited The regular back cover has fuck edited And some have an edited booklet while others have an unedited one
AlissaGoesRAWR Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 1. Christina came out with a new album? Where have I been? 2. I guess top 10 isn't bad. 3. People still buy Now CDs? We have the Internet now, people. I haven't bought one of those since, like, 7th grade. 4. That affirms my last statement, which is that this is chart most likely driven by young'uns too little for music piracy. One Direction, Twilight and T-Swift... not surprised. (Although I do love me some One Direction on occasion... guilty pleasure, I guess.)
Comrade Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 Definitely rounded Dos down to Lazy Bones and Ashley being my two favourite songs. By a fair distance too.
Homero Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 The guys are playing better than ever on the trilogy so far, in my opinion. The bass is not like on the Dookie/Insomniac days but still, awesome. Oh and my favorites off Dos are Lazy Bones, Makeout Party and Amy (but my favorites always change)

Oh and my favorites off Dos are Lazy Bones, Makeout Party and Amy (but my favorites always change) I gotta say, Mike is fucking bringing it. The last few albums before the trilogy were really bland compared to this. Of course with exceptions, but this is a whole other level of awesome creative sounds.

Of course with exceptions, but this is a whole other level of awesome creative sounds. Exactly. The playing style has become better. You can clearly hear it in these albums!
AlissaGoesRAWR Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 A lot of Mike's backing vocals for the trilogy have been excellent as well. I swear, everything he does lately makes me like him more and more. (Smashing his guitar with Billie at iHeart, writing that letter for the fan in Dublin that passed away, awesome bass lines in Stray Heart, Makeout Party, etc.) He's such a sweetheart.

Mike will never receive all the praise he deserves. That man is a cut above the typical human, let alone the typical "rock star". And the album with his face on it has given me a lot of joy this past week.
Ritz Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 Bass players are under-rated. Always. But we love Mike
Homero Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 I've just found this, it's a really cool review and gives the album 4 stars (out of 5) http://loudwire.com/...s-album-review/

Don't forget likely GDC lurker For me, it's still easier to listen to Uno start to finish; sometimes Dos can feel like a chore. However, the songs that stand out on Dos stand out a lot more than those that stand out on Uno.
November's Storms Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 While I love that Mike is on the cover, I kinda cringe that it's such a bad photo! I know that's not the point but Billie's and Tre's are far cooler.

However, the songs that stand out on Dos stand out a lot more than those that stand out on Uno. That's exactly what I said too. I appreciate them both, but ¡Uno! has more long-term playability and ¡Dos! has more polarizing tracks that stand out, whether they're really good or really bad. While I love that Mike is on the cover, I kinda cringe that it's such a bad photo! I know that's not the point but Billie's and Tre's are far cooler. Really? I don't like Tré's picture at all. Something about the way it's shaped... I dunno, it looks awkward. I think the other two look fine. (Although I remember when they first released the ¡Uno! artwork I was like, "dafuq is that?!" )
Charlie Boston Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 DOS sold 69 000 copies in it's first week in America, isn't that quite a low figure compared to their previous albums?
Awesompawsome Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 DOS sold 69 000 copies in it's first week in America, isn't that quite a low figure compared to their previous albums? Wow, that's pretty low considering Kerplunk is around the 50,000 mark as of recently
Mykee Mexx Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 Since Dos! came out I haven´t listened to Uno! anymore. Say, not to any of the other GD stuff. It´s Dos Time, I love the atmosphere more and more. And the list of favourites changes slightly. Now it´s Wow!That´s loud, and Lazy Bones on top of the list. Followed by Nightlife (it´s soooooo... uuuuuuh and oooooh... like helplessly floating on water with a paralyzed mind... ), and still Lady Cobra. Maybe I should buy one copy for every song, would that help boost sales...?
Malleus Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 I really like Wild One a lot more now that I understand the Kool Aid reference.

Maybe I should buy one copy for every song, would that help boost sales...? Same, since Dos, I haven't listened to Uno. I actually haven't listened to Dos recently either. I recently attended a Yellowcard show, so it's all about them. But back on topic, I gotta say Wow!, Lazy Bones, and Ashley are my favs. Amy has been deleted from my phone, I don't like it. Nightlife is interesting, I dig the bass, so it stays. Anyone else think that Stray Heart has lost its appeal. I thought it was amazing from the live vids, but with the rest of the album I feel like it's not as good. And it feels out of place sorta. I think that it should have switched places with Kill The DJ.
ChelseaDagger Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 OK, I will admit: when I first heard "Wow! That's Loud!" that opening riff annoyed the piss out of me. One week later: I can't get enough of it!!!!!! LOVE THIS FUCKING SONG!!!!!!!!
Sarcasm Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 I really like Wild One a lot more now that I understand the Kool Aid reference. This calls for elaboration.
Femme Gauche Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 I really like Wild One a lot more now that I understand the Kool Aid reference. Haha I wondered if some people don't get it and therefore are like... "wtf?" Same, since Dos, I haven't listened to Uno. I actually haven't listened to Dos recently either. I recently attended a Yellowcard show, so it's all about them. But back on topic, I gotta say Wow!, Lazy Bones, and Ashley are my favs. Amy has been deleted from my phone, I don't like it.

I thought it was amazing from the live vids, but with the rest of the album I feel like it's not as good. And it feels out of place sorta. I think that it should have switched places with Kill The DJ. You know, I loved stray heart when I heard it. I still do, I mean, it's a great song. And... content-wise It fits perfectly in that place on the album. But musically... I dunno, it does stick out. I mean, I even said as much several pages back, the only "weak" point - I wouldn't really even call it weak, but just less strikingly good than the rest - is the transitions with Stray Heart. Makeout Party to Stray Heart, and Stray Heart to Ashley... It just... feels kind of like it was smooshed in there. I don't know how it would work better, though, and I am really glad that the song is out there, so... 8shrugs* OK, I will admit: when I first heard "Wow! That's Loud!" that opening riff annoyed the piss out of me. One week later: I can't get enough of it!!!!!! LOVE THIS FUCKING SONG!!!!!!!! Haha, yeah, Wow annoyed me at first too, inexplicably. But now... I think it's really good. XD.
