Guest Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 I remember when Troublemaker came out all the fangirls were so excited to listen to Billie say "tits" over and over. It was fucking horrifying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Libertine Angel Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 I really don't have a problem with Troublemaker's awful lyrics - Billie was trying to be vulgar and crass, so the song does exactly what it was trying to do (it's for that reason that I don't mind Fuck Time or Makeout Party). Granted, he's capable of more sophisticated music, but we shouldn't judge songs on criteria they never intended to fulfil. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermione Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 If you take it that way, but in order to be a good line it should be less equivocal, in my opinion. Obviously I hate the song so my opinion may be disqualified because of that. How does it fit the general theme of the song though? Obviously it can be argued that as far as metaphors go, it's still lightyears better than the following ones. Well in the song he's this brash character who's unashamedly himself, I think making such a statement fits with that. And the other ones are fun 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Certified Nimrod Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 That comment about Missing You got me thinking about how I'd rate the Trilogy. So yeah. I don't agree with all of this, but it was a good read anyway. Also, "heart on a noose"? As soon as I first heard that lyric I knew something was wrong, despite my liking the song overall What's wrong with that line? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anaïs. Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 I don't agree with all of this, but it was a good read anyway. What's wrong with that line? It makes no bloody sense. What is wearing one's heart on a noose supposed to be a metaphor for, and at any rate how does anyone wear anything on a noose? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoopy Doo Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 It makes no bloody sense. What is wearing one's heart on a noose supposed to be a metaphor for, and at any rate how does anyone wear anything on a noose? I thought it was a way of saying there're no strings attached. Makes more sense if you look at it before the bridge. Far away, far away, waste away tonight I'm wearing my heart on a noose Far away, far away, waste away tonight Tonight my heart's on the loose Talk myself out of feeling Talk my way out of control Talk myself out of falling in love Falling in love with you I could be wrong, but that's what I get from it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted November 24, 2014 Author Share Posted November 24, 2014 Troublemaker and Loss of Control are just unforgivably awful. Missing You is one of the best songs they've ever done. So there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troublemaker and Loss of Control are mindless fun (as is the vast majority of the Trilogy), Missing You is really nothing special but a good Trilogy song.

Certified Nimrod Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 god you have way too much time on your hands I bet he did this so that you would read it and see that he ranked "Missing You" the highest! He is missing you! Ceadog's such a cutie pie with his hidden messaages. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolphin Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 It is a 7/10, but considering the vast majority of the Trilogy averages about 3/10, it really stands out. I know right, best song on the trilogy, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maid Meringue Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 I know right, best song on the trilogy, IMO. It's in the top 10, but hardly the best out of 37 songs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait no, don't i listened to it maybe once all the way through. deleted all of it besides stay the night, fell for you, and x-kid once i realized that every time one of the songs came on shuffle i would skip it as fast as possible.

PleasedToMeetMe Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 I still don't get everyone's issue with the trilogy. It was rushed and could have been much better, I'll give it that . . but in all honesty other than Troublemaker and Nightlife I like every song. Songs like Nuclear Family and Stay the Night remind me of the Green Day I fell in love with in the 90s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Disappearing Boy Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 I actually quite like Nightlife. I used to hate it, but it's definitely grown on me. Unpopular - yay or nay?i fall asleep at the beginning of tre and i don't wake up throughout the whole thingBrutal Love and Missing You are the only ones listening to be honest. Good job they're the first two I guess! X-Kid is alright I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
