This is the bike my sister got her son for his birthday today She swears the name of it didn't influence her purchasing decision

I'll wager this isn't 'unpopular' or whatever, but what the hell. - Emenius Sleepus, it took me so long to love you. Now Don't Leave Me is pretty much the only song in my 'Green Day song I like the least category'. I don't know why, but I'll rank even the trilogy higher than that (though to be fair my opinion of the trilogy is improving as time goes by). I think maybe that's precisely why it's popular. Very often people go for the generic/tried and tested/cliche/familiar/whatever you want to call it stuff. I mean, we're creatures of habit after all. I do think 21CB pales slightly in comparison to AI, but that's not to say that it's a sucky album. Sure it doesn't have a clearer linear storyline like AI, but I think the concept still works, even if it seems between the lines that the band was trying to replicate what they did in AI. The only real gripe I have with 21CB is pretty much on the technical side of things: the thing being somewhat kinda overproduced - Billie's voice sounding kinda filtered or something. That's the good thing about Green Day IMO - they keep moving forward. I mean I do see a few folks out there who kinda want the band to somehow go back to their early '90s or early '00s incarnations and do 'Dookie II' or 'AI II' or something, but yeah, I agree - it's very unrealistic.
