Anaïs. Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 I just split the Sweet Children songs off on iTunes and gave 'em their own artwork, so they're separate from the album. Speaking of Kerplunk, time to drag this one out again: Christie Road is overrated. Is it really good? Of course. Is it one of their best? Hell, it's not even the best on Kerplunk by a wide margin. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, it's not even the best on Kerplunk by a wide margin. Amen, brother. Christie Road only ever makes me happy when they play it live, to be quite honest. It's the Boulevard of Broken Dreams of Kerplunk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hermione Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 I love Android. There are bits that are extremely silly, but the introspective lyrics and thoughts on aging and dying are expressed impressively, especially when you remember that they're coming from a barely 20-something Billie Joe. All true, the song opening with "Hey old man in woman's shoes" and "crazy" being rhymed with "crazy" in both verses still grates on my ears though.

Backyard Skulls Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 I'm a hipster. Those two are too mainstream I find the lyrics of Strangeland very personal, or at least the lyrics we know. "The average person is everywhere, I got a job and now I'm scared... Feel what it's like to be wanted, and wonder why" I can connect to that, Strangeland just fits my personality so much better Until I read this I had zero idea that those were the actual lyrics. I just hear gibberish then tbh I always thought this was about being high or something, not having a job aha. I love kerplunk though, it's def one of those 'teenage' albums. Love no one knows, one for the razorbacks, one of my lies and android. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 How anyone can dislike 2000 Light Years Away it sounds like something off the trilogy, like Sweet 16 or 8th Avenue Serenade. It's just average. The lyrics are dumb too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Disappearing Boy Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 How can anyone dislike a song with a flushing toilet in it?! I listened to Kerplunk again today thanks to this discussion, and damn it's good. So many good basslines and melodies. Moar pls Green Day. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
