Akshat Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 11 F words on 1039/Smooth. The Wolf Of Wall Street can do better in 4 minutes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Dude Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 There aren't any besides the one in Knowledge. How did you come up with 11? You are right. My apologies. Smooth has three D-words and one F-bomb. I either got it and Kerplunk mixed up, or just plain couldn't count back in 2005 when I made the powerpoint. That's not true, there are no F words except for Knowledge. You are right. My apologies. Smooth has three D-words and one F-bomb. I either got it and Kerplunk mixed up, or just plain couldn't count back in 2005 when I made the powerpoint. There. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ifmemoryserves Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 It's a good compilation I never see anyone bash ittrue, but you never really see anyone praise it either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anaïs. Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 true, but you never really see anyone praise it either. Let's be fair, there aren't a whole lot of standouts on it; "Ha Ha You're Dead" is the only one that would make my top forty GD songs. For a compilation it's not half-bad, but obviously it pales in comparison to most of their other work. Same reason why you don't often see people discussing the album-exclusive songs from The Beatles Anthology demo compilation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 What's not to like? The lyrics are fantastic, the solo is rocket-fueled, the pounding of the drums after each verse is like an assault, the video is probably the best they've ever done. Definitely in my top three GD songs. This post perfectly sums up why we don't agree on GD music related stuff. If I had not known what song you were talking about, I would never guess that it was Hitchin a Ride. I skip that song every time I listen to Nimrod...which is already a rare occurance since I think it's their worst album by a mile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Wow, even for Blasphemy and Genocide that's rather astonishing. What's the reasoning behind that? Eh...neither that song nor the album as a whole really speak to me or move me in any way. That's how I judge whether I like music or not. I don't get any goosebumps, I don't get emotional because of the way a certain chord or chorus hits, the lyrics have no meaning to me. When I put Nimrod into my CD player I listen to The Grouch, Platypus, and King for a Day a few times on repeat and then put something else in. If you haven't seen this yet, my list of fav Green Day albums is as follows (some spots have two because any given day I may like one better than the other): Trilogy American Idiot/21st CB Warning/Insomniac Dookie 1039 Kerplunk Nimrod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And at least you like Platypus. There's hope for you yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, and my love of KfaD has nothing to do with the lyrics. The orchestration of it is just awesome. And the fun-filled attitude of the overall sound. You could put any words in there and I'd enjoy it. And Platypus is just cool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same reason why you don't often see people discussing the album-exclusive songs from The Beatles Anthology demo compilation.well yes, i think it's granted that any compilation of this type will never be as good as a full-fledged album. there might not be many/any "stand outs" but there are a fair few songs i like a lot and would listen to over many other gd songs (suffocate, desensitized, i want to be on tv, scumbag, sick of me, do da da, haha you're dead). i understand why people don't talk about it much, but i still think it's underrated just based on the songs. i'd say a lot of them are pretty on-par with nimrod in terms of their sound/feel (obviously, since most of them were written around that time) and since nimrod is a generally well-loved album you'd think people would appreciate the songs more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll figure something out. Before I share it, I'm going to clean it up a bit. Like I said, I made it around 10 years ago just for personal use, so there are some not so smooth things about it, haha. Lots of interesting facts though, such as: Which songs have and haven't been played live. Which songs were cut from Bullet In A Bible Songs cut from Trilogy Reasons that the Network are Green Day Running themes in Green Day's music and much, much more.

Anaïs. Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 What, it's been three days?! Unacceptable. 2000 Light Years Away is overrated. I really enjoy it, but it's nowhere near top tier Green Day IMHO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Disappearing Boy Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 What makes you say that?A couple of people on here reckon Green Day is gonna break up soon. This is based on how crap the Trilogy did and the Billie Joe's perceived ego.Personally, I don't buy it, but time will tell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
