That’s how I feel about 21CB. 

I can mostly agree with that but some of the songs weigh down the whole for me as opposed to AI where every song has a place

I know this is opinion question but Are We The Waiting is by far the best slow GD song that's released. It's not too fast, it's not too slow. It's perfect. I hate Extraordinary Girl and Homecoming tho. Can't see any reason why people likes those two.

I don't think there's such thing as "too fast" or "too slow". I think any song of any speed can be good as long as it's done well. I love Homecoming, I don't understand why you'd hate it. I think it's actually better than Jesus of Suburbia. Extraordinary Girl, not one of AI's strongest moments but still a good track to me.

Who's ever in charge of the mixing/mastering in the studio albums does a fantastic job at ruining the vocals. I always found the vocals weak in the studio albums compared to live performances, thought it was because of lazy delivery from Billie. But lately I've been listening to the isolated vocals tracks (which are unmixed iirc), and suddenly I noticed how he puts his all to the recording.

Green Day are fault to edit the vocals too much. While it's been much more appearant since the 00's, this was the case in the 90's as well.

I have a hard time hearing Mike on most of their songs. Anyone else feel this way?

Yes, I find the bass to be weak on most later GD songs.

Oh, I thought @Jollyroger118 was saying he doesn't like hearing Mike singing in most of the songs where he does. My mistake :P

Yes, I perfectly hear the drums. And as for the bass, I can hear it but it's true that I've sometimes heard it better on random live recordings than in the album version. I just think of this video, for example:

 

 When Billie sings "am I bleeding from the storm" I really noticed the bass, better than on the album version.

That's true actually it seems to be from Nimrod to now that I cant find him in the mix.

21CB is pretty lackluster for me. There are only about 6 songs on it that I don't skip regularly. The other songs certainly aren't bad, they just don't do much for me personally.

I enjoyed the KFAD when I saw it for the first time at SxSW performance but I could see how one could get tired if they’re the type to go see 3-4 shows per tour however people gotta realize GD concerts escp the arena shows aren’t really set up for the hardcore fans for those you gotta catch a Green Day club show

Yeah I agree with you. I totally want them to change up the setlist, but it seems unlikely with arena shows. But they definitely took more chances and switched some things up for the club tour, which is why it's one of my favorite shows I attended.
