Nemo. Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I had no idea so many people didn't like 21CB. I love it! It's not my fave but I have no complaints (except for Last of the American Girls...I just don't like that song.) i don´t like it very much because it´s overproduced: too much piano, strings. and a little amount of good songs. but that´s just my opinion.

Nemo. Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I wonder if the studio vids have stopped now... would be bad. but, of what should they talk about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhatserKinx Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 would be bad. but, of what should they talk about? It's not as if they talked about much in the vids anyway, I would be quite happy with Tre stealing Billie's bike and them playing ping pong Just noticed in that video at 0:22 Billie says "Awesome As Fuck" I think he says "It's really awful... Fuck!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forever Now Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I had no idea so many people didn't like 21CB. I love it! It's not my fave but I have no complaints (except for Last of the American Girls...I just don't like that song.) It's a great album, but it's not even close to American Idiot.

It's Splash Time Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I hope it's not graffitti I'll like any artwork they decide, but now that they're doing something new and different the covers should be totally challeging, like a puzzle connected by the 3 or something like that... idk I see your point. And I would definitely like the covers to join up somehow, make a picture or a word or something. But I won't complain about the artwork, that's not important thing. On the subject of 21CB, I do like the album and don't feel it was a let-down but at the same time it isn't near the top of my favourite albums. I prefer Nimrod personally. I like how random the album is, even if I also enjoyed AI's theme, it's just different and I like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyDirnt Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Yeah I didn't hear "awesome" either. It's weird to think that there are now in the world tons of new Green Day songs I love,but only GD can listen to them and I can't listen to them.I mean,it's like I love them,but I don't know it still,but I know there's something to love.Did I make any sense?

WhatserKinx Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 just a thought; had we never heard AI I don't think people would find 21CB a let down, because there would no bar set I think 21CB isn't bad maybe it's average and it's just because AI was so extremly epic that 21CB seems like a let down in comparison.

(or maybe this is just my point of view) Well,I don't because I became a fan in 2012 xD sadly :| anyway it's not that I don't like the songs,it's that I have to have 21CB in small doses.If I listen to various 21CB songs in a row I get tired of whole 21CB. Only song in 21CB that doesn't count for this is 21 Guns,and this is the only album that makes this happen to me lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pedestrian Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 It's been ages since an update! well, over a week, which feels like ages considering how well informed they've been keeping us. would be bad. but, of what should they talk about? I reckon they might start revealing little snippets of songs, even if its just a bit of guitar or some drums, or maybe just talking about the songs/the story behind them. Or the artwork. There's LOADS still to talk about! Besides, who cares? Something random like video 6 would be fine too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(or maybe this is just my point of view) This. I think the reason people bash 21CB so much is because it certainly didn't live up to AI. People don't realize it's incredibly hard to top an album like AI; 21CB on it's own is actually not a bad album at all, I find more than half of the songs good quality. Yes, it's definitely not the best Green Day album of all time but it's certainly not the worst, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dumb shiny bitch Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 some just posted this on the youtube video where they announced the albums release Just hoping they drop this act that they've carried with them for the last seven to eight years now, it’s getting boring. Men in their forties just should not have to wear that much make-up lol. I’m starting to wonder if it’s a personal choice or they're being bullied into it by shotgun elitist fans and their terrible, to be feared, rage. You guys agree? Definately not. I never understood why people were against Green Day wearing eyeliner. Billie Joe, for one, has always been a feminine man - it's one of the reasons why I admire him. He's not some uber macho guy, c'mon they all cross-dress goddamnit (and that's really cool!), how is eye make-up even an issue? Whoever posted that on YouTube is full of shit. Oh well, haters gonna hate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satan Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I had no idea so many people didn't like 21CB. I love it! It's not my fave but I have no complaints (except for Last of the American Girls...I just don't like that song.) people don;t like it because it sounds overproduced because of the thickness of the music. personally, i love it, it's got kind of a broadway-esque feel to it which is amazing. And it's funny that you say that, because breakdown is my favorite green day album, and last of the american girls is my favorite song on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cris. Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I know this is coming a bit late. But thanks guys who liked my conspiracy theory about Rob Cavallo stealing AI, I've been promoting it basically since 2005 lol green day 'lost' cigarettes and valentines themselves. they've even joked about it the last few years. 'it's probably down the back of the sofa' Anyone have a link to an interview where they joke about this? I don't think I've ever wattched/read one, and I'd like to. some just posted this on the youtube video where they announced the albums release (wasn't me) A mixture of excitement & apprehension! 21stCB was a let-down, but this is one band that produces great tracks, even at their worst they aren’t ever that bad. Just hoping they drop this act that they've carried with them for the last seven to eight years now, it’s getting boring. Men in their forties just should not have to wear that much make-up lol. I’m starting to wonder if it’s a personal choice or they're being bullied into it by shotgun elitist fans and their terrible, to be feared, rage. You guys agree? I don't agree with this one bit. 21stCB wasn't a let down at all, at least not for me. I LOVED that album (with the exception of Restless Heart Syndrome, that is one of the two Green Day songs that I don't like at all and avoid them whenever possible). I can listen to it over and over again and not get tired. And I couldn't care less what hair/clothes/make up style they go for this time. They could go naked, in lab coats, dressed as brides, or with the look from the last two albums, and I wouldn't be bothered with either choice, or anything in between. Sigh... I sometimes don't get some of the fans... they're releasing a trilogy, and this YouTube user is worried about eyeliner? What does that matter? When I read the title I thought the user would be concerned about the massive task of releasing one successfull album, let alone 3... which would be a valid concern (don't get me wrong, I trust these guys, they're the only band I like that can afford to announce 3 new albums and not get me nervous... in 2009 I bought concert tickets and plane tickets to travel to another country to see them BEFORE the album had even come out so I hadn't listened to it except for Know Your enemy and ¡Viva la Gloria!, and sure enough they didn't let me down at all). I think the only way I'd get slightly nervous is if they said it will definitelly be a concept album trilogy. (Unless it was of course about LOTR... then in a couple of years they could release 7 albums and make it about Harry Potter lol lol). And I do think it's possible that the reason why so many people were unhappy about 21stCB is because the bar was set so high after AI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Grohl Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I never pay attention to production. I thought 21CB was fantastic. I was so proud of the band when they came back with another kick ass album and took back their spot of being the biggest rock band in the fucking world. Everything sounded awesome to me, so that's just my opinion. To me the last two albums were pretty similar so I don't find that one was better than the other.

Florence Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 i don´t like it very much because it´s overproduced: too much piano, strings. and a little amount of good songs. but that´s just my opinion. I love 21st CB. Period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DannyDirnt Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I presonally think I'd love 21CB if it was overproduced,after making up my mind.If Billie's voice was same as in AI,and there was less piano and shit and more guitar and bass,I'd really love it.Well,¡Viva la Gloria! and LOTAG are the two songs I don't like,but I like the rest of the album.Static Age would be epic if it was less overproduced. Do you think 21CB songs will sound less overproduced and cooler in next tour? Now I'm looking forward to that lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley! Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I don't get why everyone is hating on the piano in 21st CB. I love it. What I don't like is all the static and annoying random beeping sounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
