Been a member since 2016 and now got my first warning 😂 just let that sink in, people can have different opinions. i never did a hate speech or anything like that - i only disagreed that billie is an onpenly LGBTQ singer and that bobby sox is about him wanting a boyfriend 😅 Okay, you may not like it But BJA has been very open about his bisexuality. You can dislike it, you can try and deny it, but it doesn’t make it not true. Bobby Sox is also, according to the songwriter himself, a queer song none of the above is an opinion, or something that an opinion is valid on 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzalo17 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Wich IS the main criteria to rank albums: having BEST individual songs (despite having also Bad songs, ej: Tre!) or higher number of goods songs not being the BEST ones of their discography (ej. Nimrod)? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry that english is not my motherlanguage 🥺 Is not my motherlangue either, as of many people on this forum including the user you questioned. Which still used it correctly. Even more because of this questioning and/or making fun of a user on a wheelchair shows how much of a troll you are. And yes, saying fuck off to homophobic assholes is and should be ok. And you are clearly one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Miko Posted January 19 Popular Post Share Posted January 19 Guys and girls please stop feeding the troll and let moderators do their job. I wanna discuss about this new album with everyone instead of caring about some trolls opinion. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, I'll reiterate what I wrote in my album review: I'm entirely past caring how this does commercially. I know for myself that it's a solid album and a worthy continuation in a line of great albums (american idiot, 21CB, Nimrod etc.). So I'm just gonna lean back and enjoy the ride, come whatever may come. The guys have well and truly earnt their spot in the hall of fame already and they've proved everything they wanted to prove. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post pacejunkie punk Posted January 19 Popular Post Share Posted January 19 Amazing that they got into the Hall of Fame before this album was even part of their legacy. It deserves another Grammy but probably won’t get one 14 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CherryBombs&Gasoline Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 I’m about to listen to the record for the very first time. I pre-ordered it from my local record store but of course it didn’t arrive in time. Went to two more stores but they didn’t have it either. So I guess Spotify will have to do. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nimrod)? That indeed is always a problem with ranking albums. There's no right or wrong, really. Personally, when ranking albums I rank the "object" as a whole, meaning I like to rank things such as: consistency, production, song flow, album cover/art, strength of opening and closing tracks etc. I still regard listening to an album as a unique experience, very distinct from listening to a playlist, compilation or individual songs. So it's really about picking the album (in the case of a vinyl/CD physically taking it into your hands), looking at the art work & lyrics and then listening to the thing from start to finish. So when I rank albums, I try to rank this experience from best to worst. Of course whether something is a good album or not will in large part also depend on how good the individual songs are. However, a consistent effort with good production (Saviors) can still beat an album that may have some individually speaking better songs (Kerplunk, RevRad) any day, if the overall end result is worse. For instance, RevRad has one of the best Green Day opening tracks ever, Somewhere Now and some other great songs too (Forever Now, Bang Bang), but it closes with Ordinary World, which is an awful awful choice as album closer and instantly takes the album down several ratings. Similarly, the production of Saviors is on point, damn near perfect, whereas the production is very patchy on RevRad and rather subpar on Kerplunk. a good point of reference in the case of Kerplunk's production is Welcome to Paradise on Kerplunk vs. Dookie. Let me just say the difference here is not marginal. So those are all things I try to take into consideration. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DookieLukie Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 My only wish for this was that it had more fast songs. A lot of songs are mid-tempo. But in that way it is similar to 21CB. Maybe I just got used to Trilogy-on fast songs only Green Day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Sanity Loan Posted January 19 Popular Post Share Posted January 19 Happy new Green Day album release day folks!

Same, my order from the official store didn't arrive. Did anyone in mainland Europe get it on time? I usually do the "first listen" celebration with CD or vinyl, but I just couldn't wait any longer and listened on Spotify. Looking forward to the vinyl experience soooo much though! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chin for a Day Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 I adore this album, so much better than FOAM. It was a little bit of every album, a career compilation. Standout song for me is Strange Days are here to Stay. So catchy and appropriate for the state of the world 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
