I am going to make people VERY mad about this because many people LOVE this album but I don't get it. I was very bored when I listened to it and I kinda wished I had listened to the original, 39/Smooth because that one doesn't have 19 songs on it! Worst album by them in my opinion. Many people say that the trilogy is their worst but I actually loved the trilogy! At least I can thank 1039/SOSH for one thing... It helped me fall asleep... (That was a joke if you couldn't tell, I didn't hate it THAT much that I fell asleep while listening to it.) But seriously, I thank 1039/SOSH for that awesome Operation Ivy Knowledge cover! I love that cover! Please don't kill me. I think the first album/EPs (and Kerplunk too really) grow on you. When I first listened to the early stuff the lower recording quality was very noticeable and jarring compared to the high quality production of the later stuff and it distracted from everything else about the songs and didn't sound good. Plus the songs are rather simple so they sounded quite samey at first. I couldn't imagine ever wanting to listen to it as much as later albums. But with repeated listens I stopped noticing the difference in recording quality, and I started to notice the good stuff about the songs and nuances between them instead and grew to love them. I think there's some really good music and lyrics there, cute and heartfelt love songs, some very thoughtful stuff for such young kids on songs like 16 or Road to Acceptance, and some really nice riffs and guitar solos. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wretched & Divine Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 We should make some of those tier lists for all studio albums and then we'd see what's a popular opinion or not. I did mine a while back 😬 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never really had that reaction with the production on those records. At the time I got into that stuff there was a huge wait period because there was some dispute with Lookout records. Before I actually downloaded the tracks I actually saw the songs being played in those old live videos between 1990-1993 so I could already sing along to the songs and I just came to expect lower quality from the songs at that time. Not to mention I also was listening to Operation Ivy too so I just got used to the whole Lookout Records sound and vibe. I remember those reissues were two of the most anticipated albums of the year for my group of friends at the time. We had a blast first spinning the 1039 compilation for the first time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember those reissues were two of the most anticipated albums of the year for my group of friends at the time. We had a blast first spinning the 1039 compilation for the first time. I'd never heard the old stuff before at all, not even live footage, the only contact with "old" Green Day I'd had was reading some quoted lyrics in a biography. Didn't have the internet yet and I was just buying all the albums one after the other when I could find them. So when I got to Kerplunk although I was very happy to hear it (I love lyrics and I will overlook a lot to hear good ones - also I was amazed to even find it) the quality really sounded bad compared to the newer albums, and then the same again with 1039/SOSH. Didn't take long to get used to it though, I soon stopped noticing/being distracted by it. Also 1039 was how I first saw/heard early Green Day live footage! Had a CD rom included, it was awesome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally forgot about the little bonuses that were on some of the releases back then haha I'm pretty sure American Idiot also had ringtones as a bonus on the disc around that time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNICORN VOMIT Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 A little boy named train is probably the worst GD song - even Youngblood is better - at least is kinda fun live. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly the same happened to me when I was discovering Green Day around 2006. I got hit by the difference in production of the early stuff vs. everything post dookie. I thought most songs were ok, but besides Road to acceptance, nothing too extraordinary. Then I learnt about John Kiffmayer, and especially how Tre changed the game for this band. At the same time, I was discovering live stuff (thanks GDT). My thoughts about how meh were the 39S songs disappeared when I heard Tre drumming them. I mean, there is At the library in the record, and At the library on Radio Daze or McGregors 92. The quality songwriting was there all the time. It just needed an extra push. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what happened there, but he just doesn't seem to see a difference between what slaps and complete bullshit. I mean, it's fine to skip songs and enjoy the good ones, but Green Day records used to be top-notch from start to finish. I could accept if stuff like Youngblood was filler but it's not treated that way when it's played live. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
