And I realize I'm in the minority with Sweet 16 and I don't care. Great fucking song. Sweet 16 is definitely one of my favorites from that album, and pretty overlooked. I really like the story behind it, describing going back to your roots, remembering sleeping on the floor in random places and people's houses. Billie mentioned in the Nobody Likes You book that that's all they did during 1029/kerplunk, while they were playing shows outside Rodeo. But that they also made a lot of lifelong friends doing that. Just now, Eric said: Nightlife is great! I agree. When I first heard it, I liked it because it was completely different. Plus, the bass in that song is badass. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian1234 Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 I can't remember the last time I actually listened to the Trilogy in full. I listen to a few songs here and there though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't personally feel one way or another about her rapping, it's a part of the song. But, honestly everybody doesn't have to like rap. I tend to like it more if it's incorporated with other styles of music (like with "Nightlife", nu-metal bands, collaborations between rockers and rappers, etc...). But on it's own I don't really care for it. A lot of times for me it's about the tone of voice and lack of certain instruments I like. What I'm trying to say is rap is a selective taste and I don't feel anybody should feel ashamed for liking it or not liking it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second favourite son Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 3 minutes ago, Tinkle said: As with the trilogy. Some bits should be taken seriously. Others (troublemaker, half of dos etc.) I think were intended to be less serious. Those are the bits that really suffered from the lack of promotion because nobody knew what to make of them and so took them at face value a bit too much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 5 hours ago, Steven Seagull said: AI, 21CB "quality", ???, ok When you are talking about that signature Green Day sound no one will mention AI, like EVER. You can make sound super nice but it's the rawnes of their early records what Green Day is. Trilogy and its production fit great together. American Idiot is an evolution of the same sound that the band have been using since Dookie. The only albums that sound different are (in my opinion) the first two (because they only had some very basic gear, otherwise it's the same style), Warning (same guitars but less distortion) and the Trilogy. Signature Green Day sound to me is melodic, loud, crunchy guitars, Tre's badass drumming, Billie's vocals and Mike's bass and backing vocals. The majority of the albums had this sound and that includes American Idiot and 21st Century Breakdown, which just added to the sound with more instruments and open minded song structures. Yes, Mike's bass playing isn't as crazy as it used to be but that (again, in my opinion) was not what made the band's signature sound. I do hope it makes a return to some degree on the new album though. TLDR? While I understand that you seem to have a hatred for the things that other people treasure, the truth is that there is no such thing as a bad Green Day album and I think most would agree that the signature sound makes up most of the records. This includes AI, 21CB and RevRad (from what we have heard so far. To say you dislike this sound, is pretty much saying you dislike the band's sound. You really should give those albums more of a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
