green day is Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 Due to 21 Guns, I'm embarrassed to say I listen to 21CB. So that's why I don't really listen to it. I don't even know what I'm supposed to take away from this post.
Todd Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 Why be embarrassed? There's no shame in liking the popular singles. It's still a great song Because it's the song that all the emo kids and the musical cast kids like. Two groups in my school that i'd prefer to have nothing in common with I don't even know what I'm supposed to take away from this post. That's fine. I think I might've contradicted myself there
Forever Now Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 21st Century Breakdown is one of my favorites, fantastic album!

But you shouldn't let high school cliques interfere with you liking a song plus all those kids probably like all of the songs on AI too haha especially since the musical came out
green day is Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 all the emo kids emo's dead son this ain't the 2000's no more
Spike Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 I don't even know what I'm supposed to take away from this post. That if one song isn't to one person's taste it makes another 17 songs shit, or something?
Tightwad Hill Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 It's been 5 years since the day Hot Topic's profitability went up with the merchandise sales being sold widely tying in with the release.
The Disappearing Boy Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 I listened to it today without even realising it was the anniversary
DookieLukie Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 I only recently realized that "The Peacemaker" was a gun and I've been waiting for a moment when that'd be relevant to say but nothing's come up so this thread will have to do. It is? How so? *waits for NimrodJimrod to arrive and start slinging shit* Nah, I changed my mind about 21CB a while ago.
Anaïs. Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 It is? How so? Nah, I changed my mind about 21CB a while ago. I know, but I felt obligated.
DookieLukie Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 21CBD and my kid are the same age! I remember buying the album and listening to it while she was in her tiny baby seat in the back of my car. Good times, great album <3 Nothing like banging to the sounds of Stop Drop and Roll, the lovemaking intensified by the excitement of the coming Green Day album.
Guest Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 Nothing like banging to the sounds of Stop Drop and Roll, the lovemaking intensified by the excitement of the coming Green Day album. Um.
Todd Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 That if one song isn't to one person's taste it makes another 17 songs shit, or something? Like the entire trilogy, right?
Purple Haze Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 It is? How so? It's a revolver used by the US, I think
green day is Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 It is? How so? "Now the caretaker's the undertaker so I'm gonna go out and get a peacemaker" "This Beretta of the night" It's about the war, supported by the mention of Gaza. Also "the infidels are gonna pay" switching things around. The line "vendetta, sweet vendetta" is most likely about 9/11 being used to justify everything.
Spike Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 K Seriously though I have no idea what you mean by that
green day is Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 Seriously though I have no idea what you mean by that He means that people always just bring up Nightlife and a few other choice tracks when talking about why the trilogy's shit. He made the classic mistake of thinking everyone on the internet is the same person.

green day is Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 Wait, so only 1 person likes MCR? I don't understand but yes.
Todd Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 So anyways, I care enough about the album to highlight the broad range of beautiful vocabulary and choice words and phrases of Billie Joe's creativity. Here are my favorite lines from this album The pillar of damage control (21cb) freedom to obey (21cb) I got the rejection letter in the mail and it was already ripped to shreds (Christian's Inferno) And it's non-denominational (EJN) I want to know who's allowed to breed All the dogs who never learned to read Missionary politicians (EJN) She will come in first for the end of western civilization (LotAG) Well everything that you employ was meant for me to destroy to the ground (Horseshoes & Handgrenades) Then I found the pavement to take the liars down But it's gone forever, but never too late (See the Light)
green day is Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 Those are some good ones, but I think the fact that every other line is just "look how many opposites I can say!" takes away from it a lot. I like the album more for its orchestration.

I like the album more for its orchestration. I get what you're saying. Murder City is one of my favorites, but the lyrics aren't special at all.
