UUUGH.....
WHY did Green Day put out such a piece of CRAP album?? Really? Why?
I was excited when the first new single was played on the radio -
Know You Enemy. But after hearing it a bunch of times, it seemed
lame, like they mailed it in. But I knew the whole album wasn't going
to be this way. Hell, American Idiot did the same thing - some good
songs mixed with some okay songs. Right? Don't judge by one song...
After getting a copy free from a friend (thankfully I didn't pay for
it except with my time and a little of my musical soul) I listened to
it at work. I was taken back HOW HORRIBLE it was. It sounded like
they copied the worst of themselves and threw in some trite musical
influences, sounding more like My Chemical Romance.
My friend Spork tells me that they have "matured" and they did a concept/
rock opera album. Unfortunately, they haven't matured rather than sold-out,
making shitty, MTV-produced muzak. And if I wanted a concept album I would
buy Tommy or something by Queen.
Here, I bring you not the bad Green Day but, Top 10 reason to like GD:
01. The whole INSOMNIAC album
02. Fast and concise punk songs
03. Nice Guys Finish Last
04. Minority
05. Early punk on Dookie
06. Poprocks & Coke
07. A song for a generation - Good Riddance(time of your life)
08. Fun in concert
09. Cast Away
10. Kerplunk!
