Steven Seagull Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 And what is common to all those albums? Shitty production that only targets the guitars. That's why Trilogy was so good, because the songs weren't just loud guitars like AI, 21CB and RR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian's Inferno! Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 The bass is one of the few things that were stronger on the Trilogy than the rest of the GD albums from the 21st century. On pretty much every GD song ever, you can clearly hear the drums and guitar but it's so hard to hear the bass on so many songs unless you're trying really hard to listen out for it. 21st CB's biggest weakness to me is the lack of a bass (it's still my favourite album though) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerjeezus Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 I agree with those saying Trilogy has good bass. I just heard Stray Heart on the radio and thought how awesome it is when you actually can hear bass in Green Day songs. Cool and audible bass lines are two reasons why I'm happy they brought back Insomniac live. (Hopefully, they stick with it next year, if they keep both Stuart and Scattered, I might die from happiness.) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like how your example of good Trilogy bass is the Mother Mary rehash 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Revolution Radio is definitely overrated. Well the same is kinda happening with me. I still love a lot of the songs but I'm not as interested in the songs as I was when they were released which is likely because I kinda overplayed the songs when they came out If there were more songs on the album like on 21CB, then I probably wouldn't have been listening to the same songs over and over again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved it for like a week and then just had no desire to listen to it. I'm not saying it's a terrible album, it just isn't my cup of tea sadly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are probably only 5 songs left I can say I really like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a solid album but its sits further to the bottom of my GD list. Enjoy turning Bang Bang up loud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeJennsitized Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 I loved Say Goodbye the first few listens but recently I've kinda gone off it a bit. It's like a weaker East Jesus Nowhere. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaddi. Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 There was no such thing as overplaying AI and 21st CB for me. I listened to both albums for months without ever really listening to anything else inbetween and I still absolutely love both albums. On Revolution Radio, I only listened to Forever Now, Troubled Times, Still Breathing, Revolution Radio, Bang Bang and Bouncing off the wall(s) regularly and while I wouldn't say I overplayed them, I also don't feel the need to listen to them very often. Except for the three singles (Revolution Radio, Bang Bang and Still Breathing), the album is pretty underwhelming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still enjoy revrad, maybe because it took me a while to get into it and because I don't listen to it often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chin for a Day Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 I still love Rev Rad but I don't listen to it daily. I have it on my shuffle and when the songs come up I smile. I still think it is one of their best albums. I think Bang Bang is one of the weaker tracks on the album and I love Bang Bang. The only song that truly makes the album not my favorite is the song that shall not be named. I also think that Rev Rad is a weak song. Even though it is the title track I could have done without it. Still Breathing, Forever Now, Somewhere Now, Trouble Times, Bouncing off the Walls, some of my favs. I think Forever Now has the potential to be one of the best set enders ever. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, revrad and the song that shall not be named are the only weak numbers of that record. The rest is very good. It's just so nice to listen to that album, idk, this is going to sound cheesy but what makes revrad one of my favorite Green Day albums is the positive energy it has. I can't listen to Insomniac withough feeling pissed off and I can't listen to revrad withought a smile. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeJennsitized Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 I'm not actually a huge fan of the way Billie plays Good Riddance live. Except the little bit where the string solo is. I just think the hard strumming ruins it a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like how he sings/screams "guns" in the chorus when playing it live, I like the recorded version much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first 'gun' is alright but he NEVER knows how to finish the second one and it annoys me that said I still prefer the live version, with the piano bit near the end Edit: Neither beat the musical version though 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only song I'm kind of meh about is Outlaws, and I think Ordinary World feels a bit out of place on the record but I don't skip it (it's the last song anyways).
