This era made me fall back in love with Green Day hardcore. I've never not been a fan but looking back I can see I wasn't as into them during the trilogy era as I had been previously. In 2009 I skipped school to book tickets to see them, in 2013 I bought a ticket for Emirates AGES after they went on sale and I wasn't on GDC and the general excitement level was just below what i'd always had.
This era however has been amazing, my love has come back big time, I love the album, I'm back here making dumb posts, and the two gigs I just went to were overwhelming and emotional and just kick ass. I just love this band and i love you guys and hey, I'm not even drunk making this post
