boxelder Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 i'll be seeing them here at the ballpark in atlanta this summer and i'm very excited. i really liked parts of the new record. i love 1981, bobby sox feels like a lost '90s gem in the best way, dilemma is some of the best most honest songwriting billie joe has offered in a while, even american dream is killing me is enjoyable! i'm surprised they're doing a joint dookie/AI tour... looking backward isn't the type of thing they've done often. feels like a requirement or a way to move tickets, honestly. but i'll be more than fine with it! they put on such a great show, and it'll be fun to see old classics like burnout, coming clean, letterbomb, and whatsername for the first time. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elite Takes - this is jan Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 I'm only a few songs in and I can say this is the most listenable Green Day album in a long time. I'm enjoying it. Sounds like their earlier stuff without trying too hard again. Feels more true to their natural selves. That irish punk rock vibe. Still suck live.

Elite Takes - this is jan Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 Finished. I wouldn't say there were many memorable tracks or anything, but it was a very easy listen and a lot of head bobbing, authentic Green Day feel... just an easy listen. Probably my favorite since AI, since it simply didn't try that hard and was just pretty chill and good feels and I genuinely have not liked anything since AI so the bar was low (yes did not like 21st century either) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elite Takes - this is jan Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 Oddly really like some of these songs: -Bobby Sox (feels like a prime someone song with green day not trying too hard again) -One Eyed Bastard (starts out like a Paramore song but then takes off into a pretty sick green day insomniac type song) -Dilemma (good chorus) -Corvette Summer (classic rock song but actually done well? Billie Joe sounds really good here) -Livin in the 20s (just good) -Father to a Son (good softer song) -Saviors (good title track song.. another throwback feeling without trying too hard) -Fancy Sauce (great, great song/closer, love the guitar & Billie's vocals) Hearing Green Day like this makes me pretty happy for some reason. Alkaline and Green Day so far with the comeback veteran albums, One More Time close follow up, but without the bias it's got some issues these two didn't have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddey Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 Saw them the other day and they keep holding up. Sounding flawless, energy on top. Crazy to think first time I saw them was half my life ago. Fav band ever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allsystemsgo Posted Thursday at 03:45 PM Share Posted Thursday at 03:45 PM I dig it. I'm so used to the original so this is refreshing. Also anyone else see the Dookie Demastered thing they're doing? A lot of one of a kind items, but not enough of a fan for me to pay for the chance of winning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
