WhiteTim Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 I would like to take a moment just to say that whoever things Dos is terrible has to be a dumb person. I know that's rude, but sadly, it's true. Lazy Bones, Stray Heart, Lady Cobra, Stop When The Red Lights Flash, and Amy are some of the best songs on the entire trilogy. I even like Fuck Time. I'm so happy we got a studio version of that song. I agree it would have been better as a FBHT song, but I still love it. Because of the aforementioned songs, Dos is easily the best album of the trilogy. All those songs have a much better rock n roll vibe and beat to them than anything else in the trilogy (with a couple exceptions), and I love that Green Day way more than the generic Green Day with songs like Oh Love. Come on, this is an amazing song. I hope to see it live. To me Dos just doesn't feel cohesive as an album it feels they had songs and just randomly threw songs together the songs themselves aren't bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzz Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 To me Dos just doesn't feel cohesive as an album it feels they had songs and just randomly threw songs together the songs themselves aren't bad That's true of the entire trilogy. Me liking Dos is all because I like more songs on there than the other albums. Each has their own few gems. I'd rather have several songs I really like rather than 12 cohesive songs that I think are mostly mediocre. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y'know, it'd be really fantastic if one of these days you actually gave us a reason as to why's that's true that doesn't rely on "true fan" nonsense. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hermione Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 I think Dos is cohesive. It explores the idea of indulging in some mid life crisis partying and wildness, with a bit of reflection about it/agonizing over it in between, and then the bad consequences of taking things too far at the end. And it has a retro/garagy sound tying it together musically. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Listening to Dos is like watching your married 40 year old uncle getting shitfaced at a wedding and dancing on a table with a 20 year old bridesmaid to a Robin Thicke song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think a day goes by without Dos being trashed in this thread Listening to Dos is like watching your married 40 year old uncle getting shitfaced at a wedding and dancing on a table with a 20 year old bridesmaid to a Robin Thicke song. *slow clap* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ifmemoryserves Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 i'm sorry, i have to do a list1. american idiot2. insomniac3. nimrod4. 21st century breakdown5. dookie6. shenanigans7. warningand the rest i really do not care or know enough about to put in a list. it's honestly not that i think they're that bad, i just can't get into them enough to hear them subjectively and form a positive opinion. i could probably find it in me to enjoy the trilogy; i honestly just would rather do other things with my time 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clockwise Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Dos really is pretty cohesive though. More so than Uno or Tre IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there's only one Billie. Dos just shows off some of his dark fantasy/mid-life crisis feelings. I like how honest and raw those feelings are, I wouldn't consider it disrespectful to anyone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Disappearing Boy Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Yeah, if Dos has anything, it is cohesiveness. Or at least, more cohesiveness than Uno or Tre. It's still easily the equal shittiest album Greem Day has done, along with Uno. The best song on it is Lazy Bones, which is probably one of my all-time favourite Green Day songs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KGLWW Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 1. American Idiot 2. Dookie 3. Kerplunk 4. Insomniac 5. Nimrod 6. Warning 7. 21st CB 8. Tre 9. Dos 10. Uno 11. SOSH And if you think SOSH is the best green day album it is clearly because you haven't overplayed it like crazy like with Dookie. Dookie has to be at least in the top 3.

JOE THE X-KID Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 I still don't get why Stray Heart is on Dos, isn't the song pretty much about cheating on someone and wishing you could have them back. Much better on Tre. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
