DookieLukie Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 How about we trade them for both Carpe Diem and Little Boy Named Train? LBNT was listenable on Demolicious. Carpe Diem was a slight improvement. Brutal Love is perfect as is. We also shouldn't forget that the band sounded infinitely better with Butch Vig behind the desk than they ever have with Rob, but I guess that's just a matter of personal taste. No way. Nimrod, AI, and Dookie are better produced than 21CB, and even more Cavallo albums than that are better overall. 1 Quote

If the vocal filters in 21CB weren't a bit too high I'd say it's their best produced, but as is Nimrod is better. Quote
WhiteTim Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 Vig is a much much better producer than Cavallo 1 Quote

Anaïs. Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 What do you mean by "clipped"? The volume is blown out so that the waveform is too big and certain frequencies are cut out of the mix. Cymbal crashes cut out, guitars are compressed together, etc. It also mixed out the television noises you hear on the HD Tracks/vinyl version of Homecoming. Once you've noticed it it's really unpleasant, and as everything is loud it takes a lot of nuance and dynamic range out of the music. 1 Quote

That lack of radio tv noises for 10 seconds really ruins the album. Jk. But yeah I agree on the loudness war crap. I watched a video about that a while ago. Kind of weird. Quote
Johnny Higher Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 What the deal with TV sound in Homecoming "HD" ? I'm kinda lost 1 Quote
Todd Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 Once you learn to play guitar, and you start learning songs, you notice so many copied chord progressions and shit, it's crazy. 1 Quote

Mayonaise Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 Can we get some love for the hidden gems on Kerplunk such as "One of My Lies", "No One Knows", "80", "One For the Razorbacks", "Words I Might Have Ate", "Private Ale", "Android" and the Sweet Children songs? 3 Quote

Libertine Angel Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 80 and One of My Lies are, along with Who Wrote Holden Caulfield, hands down the best songs on Kerplunk. And 2000LYA. And Christie Road. Kerplunk is awesome. 1 Quote
Todd Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 I'm over Kerplunk. The songs are great, but I don't listen to them unless they come on shuffle. Quote
WhiteTim Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 If the cd version of Kerplunk wasn't strapped with the awful Swert Children EP it'd be the second best of the 90's Green Day albums behind Insomniac Quote
Spike Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 No One Knows is one of their best songs ever, straight up. Same goes from 2000 Light Years Away. Loads of Kerplunk is amazing. 2 Quote

WhiteTim Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 But... Best Thing In Town... Wrongly titled I will say it is better than the other SC songs but it shouldn't have been added to the Kerplunk cd cause it takes away the awesomeness of Kerplunk Quote
