Malleus Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Right as the acoustic intro of BTL ends, it's the same chord progression as Carpe Diem. Ahh, right. I still don't think they sound that similar, but maybe that is just because I know dick all about music. There's only so many things you can do with a set number of chords I guess.

There's only so many things you can do with a set number of chords I guess. If they're not the same chords, they're damn close. Close enough that I'm a little disappointed the band used that progression instead of changing up the song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doggins Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 I don't mind the fact you can hear some resemblance of old songs in new material. It's kind of like a reminder that they're the still the same band... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 3 years: now old For a Kiwane toad, yeah, that's nearing death. In people years, no, not so much. I still like Carpet Diet, I just wish they would've found a different chord progression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homero Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 I think Loss Of Control is really awesome! And like someone in here said, this is only 1/3 of the trilogy! Also, it happened to me that I listen too much to the other songs and forget about Let Yourself Go, Kill The DJ or even Oh Love, and if you see it as a whole, it´s a fuckin awesome album.

drrrnn Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Digging "Nuclear Family". Not blown away, but I do enjoy it. "Stay The Night" lacks the feeling I got from some of the live shows, but still an amazing song. "Carpe Diem"... Ambivalent toward it. "Let Yourself Go"- have a feeling this will be a staple for live shows and probably more enjoyable live than the recording. "Kill The DJ" - it's growing on me, it's a fun track. "Fell For You" - excellent song, great hook and I enjoy the lyrics to this song more than most on the album. "Loss of Control" - I actually really like this song, but it's kinda weak and at any other point in time this would've been a B-side (I always enjoy their B-sides), so if they had've actually scrapped material, this would've been a track. But yes... I really like it, but I don't see it adding anything to the record as a whole. "Troublemaker" - Absolutely don't like it. Sounds like The Network song. Weakest song on the record. "Angel Blue" - see "Loss of Control" "Sweet 16" - I didn't expect this song to be as good as it is, great track. "Rusty James" - hands down my favorite Green Day song in over a decade. It's been on repeat all-day. "Oh Love" - Hated it at first, but it's growing on me. Weak single, but alright song. I actually would've opened the album with this and ended on "Rusty James" It's a hit-or-miss record due to the fact that it's part of a trilogy and the fat wasn't trimmed. That being said... Green Day's weaker efforts are better than most bands' best ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LetItBeHappy Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Oficially in love with Loss of control. The album sounds great, and it makes you wish to have ¡Dos! to play it right after it I love how they make Stay the night sound as if it was a live song, that heey-oooh in the interlude was awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uhleckseee Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 The chorus of Loss of Control is really weak and almost made me cringe. The music's great, but man, some of these lyrics are getting to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
! Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Finally finished the album and I really liked it. The only songs I didn't care for were Fell For You and Loss Of Control. My favorites were Let Yourself Go, Rusty James, Kill The DJ, and Oh Love. I'm one of the few, but I really like Oh Love Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end of Uno, though, it just fits and makes sense. Stay the Night or Sweet 16 should have been a single instead of Oh Love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaylorKlinke Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Downloaded this early afternoon today but I just now got the chance to listen to it front-to-back... I absolutely love pretty much the entire album. My favorites from most to least: 1) Stay the Night 2) Fell For You 3) Rusty James 4) Loss of Control 5) Sweet 16 6) Carpe Diem 7) Nuclear Family 8) Kill the DJ 9) Let Yourself Go 10) Angel Blue 11) Troublemaker 12) Oh Love I love all of the songs, just some a bit more than others. No real strong dislikes. I've only heard Angel Blue, Troublemaker, Loss of Control, and Rusty James a couple times each so I still need to get used to them. Even if Oh Love is my least favorite in ranking, I still enjoy singing along to it...just saying if I had to order the songs....yeah... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stay the Night or Sweet 16 should have been a single instead of Oh Love. Yeah I think the majority will agree that it's an awkward choice for a single, but I liked it from the start. To me, Let Yourself Go would've been perfect the first single Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh_oliday Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 OOH. UNO Is currently downloading, this feels so badass Meanwhile.. the little voice in my head Is it saying "shoot the fucker down?" The reviews on here look good for the most part. Still haven't listened to anything. My resolve has stayed strong for the last 12 hours. Hopefully I can make it another 168. Fuck that's a long time...
