Sauli Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 It's not my favourite album but 21st Century is the best thing they've ever done I love the album as well, but how can it be the best thing they have ever done but NOT their best album...kinda contradictory? Could you explain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOE THE X-KID Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 I love the album as well, but how can it be the best thing they have ever done but NOT their best album...kinda contradictory? Could you explain? Well personally I prefer listening to say Insominac or Warning. They're just solid albums that i can sit and listen to all the time. However 21st Century Breakdown i have to be in the mood to listen to. But it's the most ambitious and well crafted album they've made. The instrumentation and lyrics are so perfect and different to what they've done before. It's probably musically the biggest risk they've taken and I'm glad they took that risk. It may not be my personal favourite but it's the best they've done musically? I hope that makes sense haha 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 I feel the same. Breakdown is objectively their best album in terms of songwriting, arrangement, performance and production, but Insomniac is my favourite to listen to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SfarrInsomniac Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Insomniac is my favorite also when I first got into Green Day it was 21st Century Breakdown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayonaise Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Where do Too Much Too Soon, Governator, Shoplifter, When It's TIme, and Favorite Son go in the American Idiot story? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Where do Too Much Too Soon, Governator, Shoplifter, When It's TIme, and Favorite Son go in the American Idiot story? They don't, which is why they're b-sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoopy Doo Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 They don't, which is why they're b-sides. I can kind of imagine Too Much Too Soon fitting on there, but that's it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyxLongview Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 The background vocals in the verses of Extraordinary Girl are amazing. Love that song 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Disappearing Boy Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Same here. Breakdown is their best, AI is my favourite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iva Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 It's not though. It's mostly just the same few people who repeatedly post about not liking it in that thread on an almost daily basis, it's evident from other threads such as the threads to discuss the albums after they came out that lots of people here like it as well (even if it isn't most people's favourite). You can't judge much from a thread specifically for posting mostly negative opinions. Add the fact that popular kids dislike it and you get a supposed "majority" opinion.

bagelfeet Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 http://instagram.com/p/Uhm7AzpFYa/ I was bored so I was looking through Billie Joe's Insatgram and I just now realized that because of the whole guitar smash the pickguard on this is uneven 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they did a pretty good job putting it back together all told The comments made me laugh though. "Good guitar but Fender are the best guitar in the world. I love it when you use Blue." *facepalm* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bagelfeet Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 I guess it didn't make sense the way I phrased the comment. It was more like the person was putting him down, as if they didn't like him but at the end they said that they loved him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 To be fair Billie ain't particularly impressive guitarist. Average. I'm no fangirl but I'll always disagree with this. Obviously he's hardly James Dean Bradfield but he's still underrated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anaïs. Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 I'm no fangirl but I'll always disagree with this. Obviously he's hardly James Dean Bradfield but he's still underrated. I've always thought he's an above-average rhythm guitarist, and I *love* his muting. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 I've always thought he's an above-average rhythm guitarist, and I *love* his muting. His muting technique is probably the most underrated thing in the history of the world, along with how bang-on his timing and dynamics are.
