Spike Posted December 22, 2013 Posted December 22, 2013 Yeah I like a lot of songs for weird fucking reasons Haha, well liking the melodies is fair enough. It's more reasonable than not liking a song because another song sounds vaguely similar.
WhiteTim Posted December 22, 2013 Posted December 22, 2013 This. I've never heard the song by he Kinks, I'll give it a listen. I like Warning on its own, even if I hear similarities between the songs I probably won't change my opinion of it. Im not complaing or think less of the song or even when Green Day or other bands do it
AlissaGoesRAWR Posted December 22, 2013 Posted December 22, 2013 There are plenty of people I want to leave. You're not one of them but please bring Teenage Lush back Yes, I don't even know who this "Hannah!" person is.
munns6691 Posted December 22, 2013 Posted December 22, 2013 Wait do we even know for a fact that Billie Mike and Tre listen to Jawbreaker? Also it is 2013.. How many brand new never before done instament sounds can they do?

Spike Posted December 22, 2013 Posted December 22, 2013 no we don't, and that in itself makes the word "ripoff" inapplicable It's even more questionable given how Jawbreaker released albums between 1990 and 1995. They were in the same timeframe as Green Day and Green Day were far more successful and influential, what reason would they have to rip them off? They just sound similar because they came from a similar scene, albeit at the opposite side of the country, and at the same time.
DookieLukie Posted December 22, 2013 Posted December 22, 2013 Yes you caught me out I genuinely believed this well celebrated musician was singing about cologne. Thank god you specified that only a girl would believe this though, because you are right. Us females believe all songwriters sing about smelling good and looking hot and the occasional unicorn/fairy/make up. I also really appreciated being called a fangirl, which I can now confirm I am, due to being a fan....and a girl. Glad you admit it Finally someone who does!

JOE THE X-KID Posted December 22, 2013 Posted December 22, 2013 Tre's one of my favourite Green Day albums.....
Spike Posted December 22, 2013 Posted December 22, 2013 Tre's one of my favourite Green Day albums..... FINALLY, someone who agrees with me.
JOE THE X-KID Posted December 22, 2013 Posted December 22, 2013 FINALLY, someone who agrees with me. *high five*
AlissaGoesRAWR Posted December 22, 2013 Posted December 22, 2013 Tre's one of my favourite Green Day albums..... FINALLY, someone who agrees with me. I actually agree with that. I think it has the most replay value out of the three, and its highlights (Missing You, X-Kid for me) are some of the strongest trilogy tracks. Then again, Uno's lack of replayability could be due to me overlistening to it within the first few days...

Then again, Uno's lack of replayability could be due to me overlistening to it within the first few days... I think Uno's lack of replayability is down to the fact only Nuclear Family and Stay The Night are particularly good songs. The fact that two of the best Green Day songs are followed by some of their weakest really hurts the album. Let Yourself Go is good if you're in the right mood and Kill the DJ is at least something different, but other than that every song sounds the same. Until you get to Oh Love, which is only good in the context of the album, so it's not worth the effort. Tre is definitely in their top 3 albums for me, along with Insomniac and American Idiot. I don't know if my view of how good it is coloured by how poor Uno and Dos are and the fact Tre came is a nice surprise as a result, but as an album I think it's stronger and more coherent than Nimrod and Warning, even if those albums have some far stronger songs on them.
bagelfeet Posted December 22, 2013 Posted December 22, 2013 I think that ¡Tré! Has the highest replay value because it has the best "underlying story" for lack of a better word. My favorite from the trilogy is ¡Uno! because the songs on it are the best in my opinion. As an album it seems to hold together better. When I listen to ¡Tré!, it loses me at Drama Queen. It should not have been on that album.

It should not have been on that album. Drama Queen is a tad out of place, yeah. I don't even necessarily think it shouldn't have been on the album, it's a good song, but it's probably not in the best place in the running order.
cocoepops Posted December 22, 2013 Posted December 22, 2013 Tre's one of my favourite Green Day albums..... I also really enjoy it. Solidarity sister!!
JOE THE X-KID Posted December 22, 2013 Posted December 22, 2013 I actually haven't stopped listening to Tre since it came out haha
The Disappearing Boy Posted December 22, 2013 Posted December 22, 2013 Tre is the best of the trilogy by far, but it's not even close to many of their other albums. It's probably on a par with Breakdown, which was pretty decent.
JOE THE X-KID Posted December 23, 2013 Posted December 23, 2013 I've said this so many times haha but x-kid in my opinion is one of, if not the best songs Green Days ever done
Z J Posted December 23, 2013 Posted December 23, 2013 Both FuckDookieLukie 21cb Warning, Dookie, and Kerplunk are far better than Tre to me. Tre is the best on the trilogy. But honestly it only has a few songs that are really good. Brutal Love is the best on there, 8th Ave Serenade, Missing You, and X kid are solid, but the second half of the album just falls off. Hard. 21CB has a number of songs that surpass anything on Tre, namely 21cb, American Eulogy, 21 Guns, and Viva La Gloria!. Plus songs like Peacemaker, LNOE, and Before the Lobotomy are stronger than anything outside of Brutal Love,for me. Warning has Castaway, Church On Sunday, and Macy's Day Parade which are all, to me, indisputably better than anything on Tre. Plus nuggets like Minority, Blood Sex and Booze, Dead Beat Holiday, and Hold On. Dookie just has too many classic GD songs. It is overrated I think but She and When I Come Around are better than anything on Tre. And then there are songs like Chump, Burnout, Basket Case, Emenius Sleepus, Coming Clean, and FOD. Kerplunk has an incredible stretch of songs from 2000LYA to Christie Road. Then there is One Of My Lies, 80, and Who Wrote Holden Caulfield? All of these albums have more depth, and they have better lyrics, basslines, harmonies, production (minus Kerplunk) and better melodies. SD and V, ALBNT, Walk Away, The Forgotten, all pretty lackluster songs. And DRB, 99 Revs, and Amanda aren't overly spectacular either. Edit: I think Nimrod is better to, but I think that is less obvious of a ranking then these 4. I also think Insomniac and AI are better, by a mile

Z J Posted December 23, 2013 Posted December 23, 2013 Literally all of this, I would just rank Nimrod higher than you Yeah a lot of people would. I think Redundant, The Grouch, Hitchin A Ride, Scattered, Good Riddance, are great. But Good Riddance is the only one that would probably rank in my top 20 favorite songs
HolyHandGrenade Posted December 23, 2013 Posted December 23, 2013 Yeah a lot of people would. I think Redundant, The Grouch, Hitchin A Ride, Scattered, Good Riddance, are great. But Good Riddance is the only one that would probably rank in my top 20 favorite songs Scattered, Uptight, and The Grouch are all in my top 20. In fact, Nimrod is tied with A.I. as my all time favorite GD album. Prosthetic Head and Last Ride In are both underrated gems; King for a Day, Take Back, and Good Riddance were all incredible deviations (plus LRI) from the Green Day formula; NGFL, Jinx, and Haushinka are just plain fun to listen to; Platypus is... well, Platypus; The Grouch and Redundant have really entertaining lyrics... YAY NIMROD
