Hermione Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 11 minutes ago, MysticManiac said: I always thought that should've been the lead single. Would've created a lot more excitement than KYE for the follow up to AI and 21CB deserved to do better in the charts and it would've if it was released as the 1st single instead of the 4th single I think where they really dropped the ball was not making the most of East Jesus Nowhere. When the album came out that was the number one song all the interviewers asked about, but instead of being released as a major single with a killer video early on it was thrown away as a quietly not even worldwide released one without a proper video at the same time as 21st CB. I think Know Your Enemy was an OK first single, people would've been excited for any upbeat song they'd picked when they'd been away so long and critics were raving about the album at that point. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely agree with you about EJN as well. That song was another great song that didn't get the recognition it deserved. 21CB is filled with great songs like that I think KYE was ok too, but when you have a single like 21CB and so many other amazing choices on the album, it seems strange to me to pick KYE as the first single Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The is such a killer song and I'm disappointed it didn't receive more attention or was released as a single. 2 minutes ago, MysticManiac said: I don't think LOTAG should've been a single either.

It's so flat and just boring and generic. I was so bummed when they released it as a single and it had a lame video. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then 21 Guns was that album's BOBD. I'm just sad that EJN wasn't it's Holiday like it should've been I think part of why 21st CB didn't do as well as it might have (after getting glowing 5 star reviews when it came out, some saying it was better than American Idiot etc) is that the AI musical happened a few months later and they opted to pretty much abandon all promotion of 21st CB in favour of promoting the musical (they quietly hurried out the 21st CB and EJN singles and that was it for promotion of anything but the musical and 21st CB songs that were in the musical). Might've just been that it already wasn't doing as well as they'd hoped and it just made more sense to go with the thing that was doing really well but it was a shame to see it overshadowed. 11 minutes ago, MysticManiac said: I don't think LOTAG should've been a single either.

I just followed the singles I don't like it that much though If my desicion I would dropout LOTAG and add Viva La Gloria! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, it's obviously not the best thing they've ever done, not even close, but I like Sweet Children and Best Thing In Town. My Generation is an okay cover. I don't really like Strangeland though. I freakin' love all of it. It's actually the reason why Kerplunk is my favourite album (pre-2000's). Those songs make me so happy and I love Billie's younger voice. There, my most unpopular opinion. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gechy Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 1. I don't like Billie's lirycs anymore. He keeps on using the same old words again and again. 2. I hate Billie's posts on instagram.
