Cob Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 I've never understood the dislike of Sweet Children on this site. It's just Green Day doing their thing.
Cob Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 yeah i love the song cigarettes and valentines and of course if/when we ever get to hear the rest of the album i'll probably love it too but american idiot is just in a league all of it's own. nothing else they've ever done even compares and it blows my mind that someone would have rather had them release an album that was bad enough they didn't even want to re-record it Note that the band never said the songs were "bad." They just said they weren't "maximum Green Day". The way they've talked about it since, it seems like they just felt, in hindsight, that the album would have been too safe at the time; they felt that they weren't pushing themselves in a new direction.
Guest Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 does that consist of the last 4 songs on kerplunk? Yeah. 4 tracks of awesome.
Cob Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 But.... it had an ongoing theme in the artwork! I missed something like that in the trilogy artwork a bit except: "X"s everywhere! I'm not really a fan of the themes though. I really can't put it into words, it just doesn't attract me. Not the way the American Idiot/Warning/Nimrod/Trilogy art does.
Guest Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 the first two albums are so shite though oh man NO We must agree to disagree because Kerplunk and half of 1039 is awesome.
musso_kn Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 Well. I love the 21CB artwork. How's that for an unpopular opinion.
Maddy. Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 NO We must agree to disagree because Kerplunk and half of 1039 is awesome. we shall agree to disagree but ur opinion is still wrong
Cob Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 NO We must agree to disagree because Kerplunk and half of 1039 is awesome. Kerplunk is amazing. There's a reason it's often heralded as one of the best independent releases of all time.
Tubbie Head Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 The 21st Century Breakdown period was great. But, I absolutely loath the artwork from that time period. I couldn't take it seriously. I've loved the artwork and "theme" that went along with each album but 21st's I just didn't get. To me it was too youth politic, too teenage-girl-emo, too Occupy (in hindsight). I totally agree. But as for live shows and other stuff the 21st CBD was my favourite
Kayfabe Posted April 21, 2013 Author Posted April 21, 2013 Yeah. 4 tracks of awesome. GOAT Green Day release, though? c'mon bruh. c'mon.
Cob Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 GOAT Green Day release, though? c'mon bruh. c'mon. But not everything Green Day does or had done has to be GOAT.
Kayfabe Posted April 21, 2013 Author Posted April 21, 2013 I honestly think Kerplunk = 21CB, tied for second greatest Green Day releases. The only one that's asking American Idiot on those terms is Dookie, and the winner of best out of those two depends on how I feel when I wake up in the morning. 1039SOSH is genuinely 90% crap though. Holy hell But not everything Green Day does or had done has to be GOAT. I know. But some things do have to be.
Tubbie Head Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 But not everything Green Day does or had done has to be GOAT. lol what is GOAT?
musso_kn Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 You're all fools. Both 1039 and Kerplunk are sensational. They're the basis for what the band is today.
Cob Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 I think Warning is on the same level as American Idiot and Dookie. lol what is GOAT? Greatest Of All Time.
GenesisJames Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 Well. I love the 21CB artwork. How's that for an unpopular opinion. 21stCB definitely has my favorite artwork of their career. You're not alone there!
Cob Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 You're all fools. Both 1039 and Kerplunk are sensational. They're the basis for what the band is today. You. I like you.
Jon Benjamin Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 Note that the band never said the songs were "bad." They just said they weren't "maximum Green Day". The way they've talked about it since, it seems like they just felt, in hindsight, that the album would have been too safe at the time; they felt that they weren't pushing themselves in a new direction. My source is someone who knows Tre pretty well, but the person said Tre stole it because the band were fighting over the songs too much. too soon
