Hermione Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 I love the weird noise Billie makes at the beginning of Missing You on Demolicious.Today was the first time ever I have listened to AI on shuffle.I've listened to all their albums together on shuffle many times but I don't think I've ever done that! Too weird man 2 Quote
Spoopy Doo Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 Listening to just the vocals (no instruments) for Jaded made me appreciate it a lot more. I can't stop listening to it now. Quote
The Disappearing Boy Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 Saw Dos in HMV today. Rather caught me by surprise. Mind you there were plenty there! Quote
That Dude Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 It only really struck me yesterday how incredible the lyrics of Jesus Of Suburbia are. Obviously loads of people love the "home is where the heart is" line, but every single verse speaks to me on some level. For a song with so many lines to be so consistently great lyrically is just mindblowing. There's just so much that seems to get overlooked due to its length. Plus the craftsmanship in putting so many "soundbite" type lines together and making it not seem over the top is admirable. I remember Billie Joe saying in an interview about Jesus of Suburbia: "I don't even think you can really say you 'like' that song.", referring to it connecting with people and being so much deeper than simply 'liking' a song.

That Dude Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 He'd be "the nice one". He'd say "Yes" to everyone! I know he said that American Idol was one of his guilty pleasures, and they appeared on it once. But I think it's a pile of stinking garbage and anyone who tries out for it is a fake, phoney greedy person who has no idea what it means to be a musician. If you want to be the record companies pawn, a flash-in-the-pan pop star, and get dressed up and told what to sing, go for it. Ugh, it's one of my least favorite things ever. Quote
Spike Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 I remember Billie Joe saying in an interview about Jesus of Suburbia: "I don't even think you can really say you 'like' that song.", referring to it connecting with people and being so much deeper than simply 'liking' a song. It's funny in a way because it seems kind of arrogant for him to say that, especially in those terms, but he's also absolutely right. Quote
MaraGreenDay Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 Yesterday I was listen to "Foreverly" and I think that i don't have words to say how much I love that album and I really really hope that Billie make something similar in the future 3 Quote
AmyxLongview Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 I think Viva La Gloria! consists of some of the best lyrics Billie has written. And I love the "torch-bearer"/fire theme throughout the song 2 Quote
Spike Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 Saw Dos in HMV today. Rather caught me by surprise. Mind you there were plenty there! Well it's not like anyone would buy them, is it? Until I bought the Cuatro/Tre box set the other month I'd never seen a physical copy of Tre. Quote
Anaïs. Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 Well it's not like anyone would buy them, is it? Until I bought the Cuatro/Tre box set the other month I'd never seen a physical copy of Tre. Sadly enough, I see Uno in my local Target all the time, and it's always covering up AI. Quote
Spike Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 Sadly enough, I see Uno in my local Target all the time, and it's always covering up AI. I guess that's just a marketing strategy, it's not like anyone needs to buy AI anymore anyway Quote
Anaïs. Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 I guess that's just a marketing strategy, it's not like anyone needs to buy AI anymore anyway I just feel sorry for the people who shop for albums at WalMart—not only can they not get AI, the clean Trilogy songs are their only options. Except for Superhits and Insomniac, I suppose—they're technically not PA. 1 Quote

Spike Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 AI is at Wal Mart the clean version at least I didn't even know there was a clean version of American Idiot. That sounds like the worst thing in the world. 1 Quote

Spoopy Doo Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 Is it just me, or does ¡Dos! seem to get more hate than the other two trilogy albums? Quote
Oxymore Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 Is it just me, or does ¡Dos! seem to get more hate than the other two trilogy albums? there's Nightlife on it Quote
Guest Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 Is it just me, or does ¡Dos! seem to get more hate than the other two trilogy albums? Please consult my handy Dos reference chart! Bad things about Dos See You Too Shite Fire by Jimi Hendrix Fuck Time Stop When The Red Lights Flash or You'll Be Given A Ticket, a Fine, or May Even Be Prosecuted Lazy Riff Writing Not Very Wild And Actually Very Boring One Makeout Party (That title is so bad I couldn't even come up with a joke for it. Seriously.) I'm Ready For Love A Town Called Malice Mother Mary Stray Heart Ashley/That One Song About Sodomizing A Basketball Legend Baby Eyes Won't Stop Crying Because This Song Fucking Sucks Nightlife (I don't think there's any Nightlife jokes left) Wow! That's Shite! Amy/My Drug Dealer Skipped Town, Do You Know Any Good Ones Oh Wait You're Dead Good things about Dos Mike is on the cover Quote
Z J Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 Is it just me, or does ¡Dos! seem to get more hate than the other two trilogy albums? because it's worse Please consult my handy Dos reference chart! Wow! That's Shite! All that you need to know about Dos really. Quote
DookieLukie Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 I think Nightlife has a cool melody, but everything else is cringeworthy. And I love Wow! That's Loud 1 Quote

AmyxLongview Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 Even though Dos is generally considered by fans to be the worst album of the trilogy, I think I might prefer it to Uno. There's definitely some songs on Dos that are questionable, but as an album it's more interesting and less bland than Uno. I can hardly listen to Uno all the way through because after a while I get sick of the clean guitars and the plain-ness of the songs. Then again I hardly ever listen to Dos all the way through either. But at least Dos has some crunchier guitars and Lazy Bones is really good! 1 Quote
