Still not the best lyrics ever, but "season's greeting cards" are just Christmas cards and no manger is giving thanks to anyone.
Hero_Of_The_Hour Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 For the record when I "threw shit" at specific lyrics I quoted the last three lines correctly (days ago) before a different person got them wrong...oh and the other two lines I threw shit at were correctly quoted also. I always knew exactly what he was saying and it was always shit.

Your minuscule changes and bitchy tone haven't changed anything regarding the quality of the song.

ouimetnick Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 Why does everyone act so entitled? They have been a band for a long time. Bands don't last forever, people change, Billie's writing style changes. I would be upset if the broke up, but as long as they are still friends, I'm happy. This new song just shows that they had a jam session and made something out of it. It's a free song. Why is everyone so bitter? Billie, Mike, and Tre don't owe us anything. I liked the trilogy, AI, 21st CB, and their others. Strangely, I don't like to many of their older songs because it's hard for me to understand the lyrics (my hearing aids can only do so much)
Guest Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 Don't see how it's entitled to expect a good band to be good.

Hermione Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 People who like this song or the trilogy wouldn't be so defensive about it if so many people who don't like them didn't claim or act like they have a more objective opinion. If you don't like it that's fine, but that doesn't mean you're looking at it more objectively or in more detail or being more honest than people who do. It just means you don't like it. Can someone tell me which lyrics are nonsensical? They seem quite straightforward to me.
Misterglasshalfempty Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 Hm, what do I make of this song? It sounds pretty much exactly like I would expect Green Day to sound on their next album. It just seems like Billie has gotten more and more into this lo-fi, garage/retro thing, with heavily processed vocals and 60s melodies. Didn't he mention that he wanted to do a "live-in-studio" album reminiscent of the stones? Although I'm not particularly fan of that direction, I think that's were they're headed. I would be very (pleasantly) surprised if their next album didn't continue along the lines of the trilogy, but anyway. Although I'd prefer to see something more Ai/Warning-esque myself, will they ever produce another Holiday? I can only dream, haha
21guns&novacaine Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 I thought it had a bit of the trilogy sound to it, the cheerful, happy-go-lucky sound reminded me of Dreamcatcher. Overall, it's awesome to have at least one new Green Day piece, even if it was an absurdly cheerful Christmas song. Might be them hinting at something new actually coming instead of secondhand accounts.
Johnny Higher Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 I hope the New Year song will be better. Can't wait for the Candlemas song too! And what about a Hanoucca song...

mallorymaloney Posted January 1, 2016 Posted January 1, 2016 Those Christmas songs they recorded back in the 90s over a fucking telephone had better all-around quality than this. ... Did anyone post this yet? Probably. Bears to be repeated. Hope this lil' xMas ditty doesn't speak of the band's musical future. I get that it was probably a casual thing, but c'mon ... You can't be fucking Green Day and release something casually. You just can't. They should know better. They DO know better. That's what we have FBHT and The Network for ... Oh, Green Day.

That's what they've been saying ever since they signed to Reprise, why would they give a shit now?
Cameron. Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 can't find a single redeemable quality about this

She_92 Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 I really like this song, but I agree that they did better in the past and I really hope so they will make better with the future album. It will be kind of disappointing otherwise.
Kaddi. Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 I totally missed this until now, haha. But yeah, that song is awful.
AlissaGoesRAWR Posted January 6, 2016 Author Posted January 6, 2016 I find it hilarious that no one is even bothering to argue that the song doesn't suck now.

It's not as bad as half the songs on ¡Dos! but the festive charm has worn off and it's definitely awful. I hope they go back at least as far as 2009 for the new album because I liked 21CB and I wouldn't mind hearing that sort of polished sound but the style of anything from Dookie to Nimrod or AI to 21CB and the only clean guitar I want to hear is an intro or an Acoustic song. I know this post crosses 2 threads in context but who cares.
Hermione Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 I still like it and everything I said about it still stands . Can't make other people like it if they don't!
Akshat Jain Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 The "Deadpool" Effect!! the video's got 950,188 views, and 32,802 likes. It's just a Christmas song, -_-
lizziebix Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 I still like it, kind of. Just not too bothered with needing to keep stating that over and over again while the haters debate its merits.
