solongfromthestars Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 I really don't think it is (on both counts ). It mentions "my middle name is danger" but Billie neither made that phrase up nor thought of the idea to use it as a real name himself, it's an old phrase and he got the idea to use it as a name from Austin "Danger" Powers. I think he just thinks it's a cool phrase so he decided to put it in the song to describe a badass character. Looking at the rest of the lyrics I don't see how anyone could possibly think they're about his son, they describe a dangerous, murderous, out of control character not a young teenage son. The line might be a little shout out but the song clearly isn't about him. Yeah you're right. Plus "Year of the Rat" is Billie not Jakob (unless they both are, then I stand corrected ) edit: never mind, didn't read properly and realise that someone had already confirmed that. haha. The thing I don't get though is who the fuck would shoot the babysitter? That's probably a metaphor for a fucked up childhood or something. (Before anybody shouts at me, that's just a personal guess, not implying anything about Billie, etc...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spark in the night Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Tracks 1, 4-7, and 12 are solid favorites for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
in the parking lot Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Parts of some of the songs sound just like Foxboro Hot Tubs songs... Idk, I feel like ¡Dos! has more of a FHT feel than ¡Uno!, which isn't bad because I love FHT, it's just more noticeable now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Femme Gauche Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 This is totally off the topic for you guys to chill the FUCK up about Baby Eyes and it's Lyrics Ummmm... How is talking about one of Dos's songs, off the topic of Dos the album? o_O. The "my middle name is Danger" thing made me think of Jakob too (of course), but listening to the rest of the song I was like OK, he's just talking about sounding dangerous... I have the backing vocals of "Nightlife" stuck in my head right now idk why, it isn't even the last one I listened to. I guess cause we are talking about it (well, people mentioned it) and it is rather... I wanna say "catchy" but I usually think of that as being for more upbeat-sounding stuff. Anyway. I don't remember much of the rap part yet XD. It'll all be memorized in time, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RetroHolo Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 I'm having a real issue with the editing on Amy. At around the 1:55 mark we get the lyrics "Amy, Please don't go!", the second time he sings it there is a really jarring fade to a different take of the song. It's awful. Who in the fuck though that sounded at all natural? The song itself is great, I love the guitar and the lyrics are beautiful; but that one moment really stands out on each listen.

Met Fan Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Printed my BestBuy coupon from greenday.com and going to pick the album at my lunch hour! Came here to express excitement only to find everybody already heard and talked about the leaked Dos, bummer. Oh well I'm on my own then. It would be nice if somebody starts a new thread for those who will hear the album for the first time today and wanna share first impressions with others who did the same. The reason I waited is that I don't like compromised quality of mp3s on the first listen, I don't mind 320kbps mp3s for my iPod but that first listen has to be CD quality for me.

SmidtsPie° Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 I haven't got my copy of Dos yet :sad: And I haven't got the emails with digital dowload and the email with Tré being released earlier either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lulu Flowers Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 IT'S DOS DAY!!!! I'm in love with this whole entire album. Wild One is beautiful and perfect, Nightlife is fresh and I love it, the melody and chord progression for Baby Eyes is amazing (that song deserves more love) Fuck Time is just epic... I could go on and on. I'll continue promoting around my school for the next week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be because I put my hearing aid aside that I don´t hear it...? Repeated it but I don´t hear an awful, jarring sound...? Well sometimes it´s good to be a bit older - you don´t realise eyery frequence anymore... can give you more pleasure... sometimes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harriet Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Dos! is great, it sounded better on the first listen than Uno! did, and I think it's gonna be favourite of the trilogy. I can see why some people don't like Nightlife but I can't stop listening to it. The lyrics aren't anything special but being able to rap it makes me feel so badass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to be so gutted if I have to bid on one of these on ebay. It's possible. One minute it wasn't there at all, the next it was there but Sold Out. I'm going to call a couple of stores in the area before I resort to eBay. (I don't see any on eBay, anyway.) They still have Uno on vinyl, so it's very odd that they don't have Dos.

I was thinking the same about them still having Uno. I guess I'll be waiting until later in the day before I decide what I'm doing. This is definitely frustrating though.
