Libertine Angel Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 DRB could make maybe three good songs. But as it is? Clusterfuck. The fact that it's a random clusterfuck of general mindless fun is why it's so great - it's just Green Day doing whatever comes to mind.

Libertine Angel Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 ...and then Troublemaker. I don't have a problem with Troublemaker - it's not their most sophisticated work, obviously, but it's not trying to be. It does exactly what it's trying to do, and it's a pretty fun song. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Disappearing Boy Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Misery has at least got a story and meaning to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anaïs. Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Of course DRB is shit lyrically and doesn't hang together. But that middle section's instruments make up for a whole damn lot, especially with Dookiefied guitars. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Disappearing Boy Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 The first part of the song is pretty good. Musically, the middle part is decent too, including those solos. But then it's just a bit meh. The outro is crap too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cameron. 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? Brutal 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. brutal love puts me right 2 sleep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't stop it from being a boring melody with one lyric repeated ad nauseum. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted November 25, 2014 Author Share Posted November 25, 2014 Doesn't stop it from being a boring melody with one lyric repeated ad nauseum. Am I literally the only person who actually really likes the ending? It's hardly the first time they've repeated one lyric ad nauseum and it's never been a problem before. I don't care if you don't, etc. Also Misery is easily one of their best songs. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not the most spectacular ending, but I think it's decent enough. And yes, Misery is great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hardly the first time they've repeated one lyric ad nauseum and it's never been a problem before. I don't care if you don't, etc. That wasn't the conclusion of the song. Also, look at how many of us give shit to KYE, Kill the DJ, Let Yourself Go, etc. for just being the same lyric repeated over and over. It's hardly only a thing for this song. Also Misery is easily one of their best songs. That's my boy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chin for a Day Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Also Misery is easily one of their best songs. Agreed, always loved it. Plus, It is probably the first time they ventured past a 3 minute song Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 Agreed, always loved it. Plus, It is probably the first time they ventured past a 3 minute song FOD/All By Myself is 5:47 if you count the silence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteTim Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Brain Stew/Jaded is 4:43 But they are split into two songs just like you could use Chump/Longview as an example Misery can be said to be one of the first of long songs that's a single song 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
