klytaemnestra Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 The quicker it is the better, because then it's not as long. and that, my friends, is what sarah said. it's been over an hour and no one said it ok i had to. 2 Quote
DookieLukie Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 Wow, do we really agree on something 100%?! Mind = blown. What's your statistical ranking, just play count? I put a lot of pointless work into giving each Trilogy song a numeric score/rating based on various aspects. Mainly lyrics, instrumental, and a sort of random "x" factor. This of course isn't completely statistical because it involved my opinions, but I ranked the songs using this method. When I go through the list I made, they were perfectly ranked based on my tastes, so it was a success. 2 Quote

I'm intrigued based on the fact that we have an identical top five. Quote

Spike Posted April 19, 2014 Author Posted April 19, 2014 What else would you like to know? What were your bottom five, and your favourite song based on lyrics and favourite based on music alone? Quote
Z J Posted April 19, 2014 Posted April 19, 2014 I think top 5 from the trilogy has to be: Brutal Love, Stay The Night, Nuclear Family, Rusty James, and maybe Stray Heart. Just based on a combo of lyrics, melodies, and just general impact on GD's catalog, those songs stand out to me, except for maybe Stray Heart which is more of a guilty pleasure i suppose. Quote
The Disappearing Boy Posted April 19, 2014 Posted April 19, 2014 My Trilogy Top 5 is Brutal Love, Lazy Bones, X-Kid, Stay the Night, and Missing You Quote
walking_c0ntradicti0n Posted April 19, 2014 Posted April 19, 2014 X-Kid, Stop When the Red Lights Flash, Stray Heart, Angel Blue, and Rusty James Quote
Spoopy Doo Posted April 19, 2014 Posted April 19, 2014 Brutal Love, Rusty James, Lazy Bones, Angel Blue, and Drama Queen/Wild One (can't choose which one) Quote

EastCaitNowhere Posted April 19, 2014 Posted April 19, 2014 American Idiot would have been better if Extraordinary Girl wasn't on it. I really liked 21st Century Breakdown as an album. Quote
Guest Posted April 19, 2014 Posted April 19, 2014 Brutal Love is okay. While it does showcase BJA's above average vocal talent, it does so at the expense of being too long, awkwardly structured, and not particularly original. Quote

While it does showcase BJA's above average vocal talent, it does so at the expense of being too long, awkwardly structured, and not particularly original. I think it has an excellent build up. The vocals are an obvious plus. But I think it also is a step outside their comfort zone just a bit, which I like. While the melody was borrowed in part, i think the lyrics are excellent, some of the most honest-feeling writing we get in the trilogy. The emotion he puts in to it live supports that. 5 Quote
Spike Posted April 20, 2014 Author Posted April 20, 2014 The best part of Brutal Love is the drop into the coda. The first section is decent but nothing special, then that falling melody comes in and it's just the best release of tension in any Green Day song other than Restless Heart Syndrome. 3 Quote
walking_c0ntradicti0n Posted April 20, 2014 Posted April 20, 2014 restless heart syndrome? uptight wasnt bad either... Quote
Spike Posted April 20, 2014 Author Posted April 20, 2014 restless heart syndrome? uptight wasnt bad either... Yeah, the build up with all the false releases before it finally drops into the solo is like the best thing they've ever done. With Uptight are you referring to the really long verse going into the first chorus? Quote
Z J Posted April 20, 2014 Posted April 20, 2014 Green Day is very good at building tension in their songs. BOBD, Before the Lobotomy, Letterbomb, Brutal Love, Panic Song, Restless Heart Syndrome, among many others have great energy build ups. Brutal Love definitely ranks high among that group 2 Quote

The Disappearing Boy Posted April 20, 2014 Posted April 20, 2014 Brutal Love sucks. Thread winner. 4 Quote
