Pete Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 I got it yesterday. Haven't listen through to it properly but initial impressions are that it's a bit of a miss-mash, which I don't know is a good thing or not. That first 9min 'medly', what the fuck is THAT about?! Is it just 5 songs they couldn't be bothered finishing so they squished them together?!Does seem to play like a gig too, one track into another here and there, which is good and fuck me, how fucking ACE will be to be singing along that 'We Are Waiting' or whatever it's called song gonna be like in, like, the SECC or something?! Ace I think.Like I said, haven't given it a PROPER good listen to yet so hopefully with grow but after hearing the single and being totally fucking , the jury is otherwise out...

Emma Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 I bought it, very good in my opinion. A hell of a lot better than warning...thank god Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tooms Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 well now that wouldn't be hard now would it sweetie?You could record Billie Joe farting into a milk bottle and it would be better than warning.I'm undecided as to whether I will pur-chase this or not.

Guest Cowboy Dan Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 i liked Warning.I've heard the new single and it's very very boring, simple, bland and uninteresting. I wouldn't have been surprised if it had been written by a local band of 13 year olds. I used to like Green Day, but that song is just complete baws, the lyrics are shit as well.Completely put me off the new album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouse Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 I'm gonna buy it when I've cash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Milner Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 I dont like the new stuff at all to be honest. The whole album sounds like Warning to me.Although there are a few good songs on there the most of it is crap im afraid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Disorder Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 I really liked Warning but I think this album's an improvement. It reminds me of Insomniac in places. I like the whole 'Punk Rock Opera' idea behind it.Some of the songs sound like they're rehashing old material and some sound like they're stealing from other people (She's A Rebel is the most blatant rip-off of Boxcar by Jawbreaker I've ever heard), but the tunes still rock and that's the main thing.

Guest scott cs. Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 the American Idiot single isn't a good basis to judge the rest of the album, you really have to listen to it all the way through so you undertsnad the characters that appear throughout it. there are some weak songs - Extraordinary Girl is really dire, but overall its really good.

Foreskin Ninja Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 I never understood the beef people had with Warning, sure, it wasn't as "punk" as their previous albums, but it was an album packed with great songs. I'd rather listen to it than their past albums anyway.And the new album's pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 Warning what the most punk album they've every made! It was a two fingers to everyone else, they made the album THEY wanted to make and the last time I checked, that was punk.But let's not start the whole 'what is punk' debate again....:o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skacel Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 this album is pretty cool songs like holiday and st jimmy and letterbombjesus of suburbia is ace nt sure about the other 9 min song tho.personally i was disapointed with warning but im impressed with this album Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iain44s Posted September 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 anyone else noticed theres a bit in Jesus of Suburbia that sounds EXACTlY like summer of 69 by brian adams! tis quality. also the chorus of Letterbomb is basically just 86 off insomniac. I think Give Me Novocaine is pretty horrendous but apart from that its a good album Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest scott cs. Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 also right before Tre Cool sings Rock And Roll Girlfriend, he plays a very similar drum beat to that in American Idiot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paranoid Android Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 I liked warning, probaly my second favourite behind nimrod, i was a bit put off by american idiot, it's not bad but it seem a bit like rehashing old ground. I'll probaly get the album some time or other Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicoAUBL Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 i think it's acea couple of songs are a bit weakbut the ideas behind it make it a work of art (in my humble opinion)when you listen to it all the way through it flows quite nicely....we'll be playing a fair chunk of it at the bassment over the next few weeks that's for damn sure!

Queen Kong Posted September 26, 2004 Report Share Posted September 26, 2004 I like the new abum very much. The Network cd is...interesting. The dvd with it is fucked up...crazy colours and stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camie Posted September 26, 2004 Report Share Posted September 26, 2004 the new album is good some tracks i dont like but track two(jesus of suburbia is amazing) really like the idea of a medli song. Track 3(holiday) is good aswell. Doesnt compete with Dookie or 1039/smoothed out slappy hours though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted September 27, 2004 Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 Stuck in a rut? Don't think so - listen to their last 3 albums or so and THEN make a comment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Salty Posted September 27, 2004 Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 i LOVE Green Day so much so any albums going to be brillliant in my opinion. I've still not actually listened to all of this one but i think Jesus of Suburbia is possibly one of their best songs ever, its so dynamic.
