Hey guys, I'm back from my mystery vacation.

 

[Reggo]

I think I'll stay blissfully unaware of Arcade Fire and stick with Green Day for now. Ooh, WARNING: album...

 

[phillyfan26]

I enjoy the fact that they didn't run the song into the ground by repeating the same pattern ad infinitum for the remaining two minutes. That's just me, apparently.

I agree. What they should have done was ended it right about when it changes to the end.

See my suggestion they ought to have finished the song two minutes early.

That's my opinion.

Oh dear.

Hey guys, I'm back from my mystery vacation.

Welcome back from wherever, Bonnie.

 

[coolian2]

It's awesome fun-ness?

I frown on fun.

I'm tempted to hit up Taco Bell

...Why?

I like them? And I'm not home to download anything.

Oh dear.

Hi LMel!

 

[Reggo]

See post above....

And me.

Welcome back from wherever, Bonnie.

I saw like a hundred kangaroos in one day, so it was pretty jazz. Better than New Zealand.

 

[corianderstem]

I love American Idiot - it's an awesome album. Other than that, I like "Minority" but not a lot of their other stuff.

 

[coolian2]

SWING AWAY



Now E-Bow The Letter.

Wonder what I should do about dinner.

 

[bono_212]

I think American Idiot was a joke and had maybe two good songs on it.

But Warning is a great song

Why do you say "a joke"?

 

[LemonMelon]

Listening back to Wake Up again, it's pretty clear why Axver dislikes the ending so much; it's got that sugary Supremes thing going on. I'm surprised others are joining in with him though.

The best part about that section is the lyrics. They're beautiful.

I don't be mean to be mean or anything, but the idea of Green Day attempting a concept album about politics just screams bad idea to me, and when I was forced to listen to the album all the wya through, I felt proved right

 

[corianderstem]

I never in a million years would listen to the end of Wake Up and think "Hey, The Supremes!" That's a mild bit of wtf for me.

what's wrong with agreeing with Axver's opinion?

I guess we'll just really disagree on this, then.

Although I mainly like it because it rocks hard. I don't really care what Green Day has to say, but I thought they succeeded admirably in what they set out to do.

I'd rather not be tarred with a potential Axver reason for why I don't like it.

It doesn't suit well and I'd have been happier if they'd stopped two minutes sooner.

If ever there was a reason for putting an outro on an album as a separate track, Wake Up is it.

I think that's the heart of it, I really dont' care about what Green Day has to say, I listen to their music more than their lyrics, and in this they attempted to make their lyrics the heart.

But Holiday was amazing

I don't mind agreeing to disagree on this

Listen to the bouncy tempo. Listen to the chimes. I think I read an article (Pitchfork?) that compared to You Can't Hurry Love.

 

[The Sad Punk]

You guys are talking about Greenday? Okay, back to the wilderness for me.

 

[corianderstem]

Holiday is one of my favorites from the album, for sure.

I didn't even think I'd ever listen to it when it came out, despite the good reviews I'd read, because I'd gotten sick of Green Day some years before.

But then my boyfriend at the time got a live Green Day concert DVD from Netflix, and we watched it, and I said "Holy shit, I have to buy this album NOW." And I did, and it was good.
