Me: I swear this is the last time I listen to the record, I need a break for the next few hours *Graffitia fades out* Also me: 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me Graffitia is like a big "thank you Joe Strummer, for all you have done to contemporary music, we miss you, I hope you will enjoy this". I get emotional even only writing about this. And I absolutely adore the level of deepness this track has both on the instrumental and lyrical components. I love the drums, the guitar, the piano, the bass, It's just THE song for me. I love it because when you have a song like this mixed in a record that doesn't want to be like that all the time, it really stands out. It makes me love more both the song and the rest of the record. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, and marry you could almost be considered as a copy of like a virgin, which sounds a lot like Billie Jean, which takes a lot from 70’s music.

pacejunkie punk Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Meet Me on the Roof, Stab You in the Heart, Graffitia and Sugar Youth are my top four on this album and the ones I most want to hear live. The next five I like pretty much equally I can’t order them and my least favorite (though I still like) is Take the Money and Crawl. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RodrigoGD from Brazil Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 After listening over and over, my favorite songs are Meet Me on the Roof and Take the Money and Crawl, with very good chorus. Of course, the record is unlike anything, it looks like it was recorded on an LSD night in the 1950s ... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Day have done some quality shit in the past and if compared to that, this just isn't going to do it for some people. 11 hours ago, bjrules said: Oh, so I've been listening to Green Day for 15 years, but because I think this one album is absolutely terrible I'm not a fan?? Nah, fuck you. I've actually got high expectations on this band because I KNOW that they can do better. Being a fan doesn't mean being a sheep. So, maybe what I said was overreacting... I’m so sorry I totally understand where everyone is coming from. I’m so sorry about what I said. I love Green Day fans and I totally get that you may not like an album or two and that’s fine. I had high expectations as well... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It kinda remind me when Father of all came out and I read somewhere "I'm going to listen to this song until I like it" Well I don't think it works like that.

Not the other way around Fortunately that kind of arguments seems to have been disappeared I hope that the post you quoted didn’t assume that people loving this record are sheep.

I get triggered when comments like yours assume that people liking this record are idiots that would enjoy song made of farts. You are insulting, if you don’t know how to express your opinion, because you don’t have arguments or because you don’t want to spend time illustrating them, calling people sheep is not an alternative. Save that for social networks, this is a forum. I’m sorry for you if you don’t like this record, but I assure you, your music taste is not genetically superior to the one of anyone else in here. And, by the way, two pages ago I had the same answer for people liking this record and treating in the same way as you are doing now people not liking it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
