Hero_Of_The_Hour Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 6 minutes ago, Platypus2000 said: Yeah but it was obvious they didn't believe in the trilogy. Those albums were like "let's push as much music as we can out to give them something to hold on to for the next 4 years". Hoping the new excitement for this record has an influence on the setlist. Some of these songs are screaming to be played live. And most are screaming to be drowned in the bathtub Actually Billie said he liked a lot of the trilogy or felt that the songs were great but there was a lot for people to consume at one time or something like that in one interview if I'm not mistaken. Also when they made the albums they had no intention of taking a four year break so why would they plan on making a whole load of music to give people something to hold on to?

Nice to see some love for Insomniac around here too. I still really like it a lot and was super lucky to get to hear them play the whole thing at Reading Festival, but it just doesn't press my buttons in the way that the top 3 or 4 do. Fucking love insomniac though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, he did. He also said in this one that if he could go back he'd still do it. He hasn't expressed that much bitterness towards it haha.

Maddie86 Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 shit. I never downloaded revrad cuz i found a site that streamed it and it looked like they took the stream down oh well, here's my list. 1 through 6 was easy but after that it was hard 1 Insomniac 2 Nimrod 3 Kerplunk 4 Dookie 5 1039 SOSH 6 American Idiot 7 Revolution Radio 8 Warning 9 Uno 10 Dos 11 21st Century Breakdown 12 Tre I know I'm being a little hard on 21st CBD, it's a solid album but there's stuff I don't like about it, and honestly I wouldn't be bummed if they stopped playing songs from it live. I think revrad and warning could be a tie, and Uno is really close behind. Scratch that, there's a few songs I love on uno, 7, 8, and 9 is a 3 way tie!

dudley dawson Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 How anyone could rate the trilogy above Dookie is beyond me. And I really like the trilogy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting note: The album cover comes from a line in Bouncing off the Wall "Radio, covered in gasoline". I'm guessing that why they had to leave such a mediocre track on the album, lol. But to answer your question I believe the standard CD won't have the text on the front. The deluxe book version will have that bottom one and that middle picture is just showing what the album will look like with the sticker on it.

gd86arg Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 In Youngblood lyrics at GDA Music page: I’m a rough boy ‘Round the edges Getting drunk and falling into hedges She’s my weakness Fucking genius Swear to god that I’m not even superstitious I think Billie says "Swear to god AND I’m not even superstitious", like he's atheist and god's a superstition About albums ranking: 1º Insomniac (11/10) 2º Dookie/American Idiot (10/10) 3º Nimrod (between 9 and 10) 4º RevRad/21stCB/Warning/Kerplunk/1039 (between 8 and 9) 5º Trilogy (between 7 and 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MillenniumFan Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this, but am I the only one hearing some things or parts in ''Somewhere Now'' (faintly) reminiscent of ''The Who'' or more precisely their album ''Tommy''? Anyway, I'm really digging that song, I really like it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clayish Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Even though I love the song, the 'Creep' influence in 'Outlaws' is almost over powering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have a short attention span by any chance? I usually like my green day poetic and epic and huge. BUT these songs don't feel inspired or interesting to me at all. Maybe it's the mixing with the really loud guitars that doesn't fit that type of songs but it's like billie singing tunes over noise. Songs like 21stCB, Jos, Homecoming, American Eulogy, shit even drb are long songs that go somewhere. Have a climax or change. These two songs just feel like the same noise for 6 minutes (ok one song is 3 minutes) and the same acoustic riff that's definitely not something new or inspired (somebody even posted the complete rip-off of that I remember) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeJennsitized Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 I'm not sure I can rank the albums! I'm so indecisive, and I don't feel I know RevRad well enough. But hell, everyone else is doing it and I'm a sheep. 1. 21CB 2. Nimrod 3. American Idiot 4. RevRad 5. Dookie 6. Warning 7. Insomniac 8. Tre 9. Dos 10. Uno 11. Kerplunk 12. 1039 Keeping in mind all Green Day albums are held above any other music I listen to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
