Musically I dig Teenage Teenager but I wish the lyrics were anything else haha

 

Yeah, Teenage Teenager is the worst song on the record. That song aside, calling the album a regression doesn't sound right to me though. They're clearly trying new things, whether they pull them off or not.

 

Teenage Teenager just sounds like a Weezer song lol. I like it despite the lyrics


I'd say Sugar Youth deserves another listen from you guys

 

Graffitia is solid too

 

The album is whatever but Graffitia is a really good song

 

I feel that song could be in Vietnam War era movie montage.

 

There are a few parts that remind me of Green Day on FOAM.....

-The chorus in Teenage Teenages sounds like something off Warning.

- Sonic Youth could fit right on Radio Revolution.

- The outro in Stab You In The Heart is cool and reminds of Insomniac and Nimrod.

Three things I think album has going for itself...

- The production.

- The energy.

- My wife actually likes the album, but I think that’s because she’s pregnant.


......I’m just trying to be positive about it bc it’s an easy album to poop on.

 

Yeah it's a very good and fun album! I think we've all agreed on that one.

 

Nah.

 

It is good and fun

 

Oh no, don't you remember the other day when I convinced everyone that it's a good and fun album? Maybe you were playing hooky that day.

 

Nope. Was definitely there. Was not convinced.

 

Gonna start watching this while preparing Pancake Sunday.

 

I did a Green Day discography run this week.

Quick thoughts that stuck out to me on a few albums:

- ‘Nimrod’ and ‘Warning‘ are still my favorite Green Day albums.

- I fell in love with ‘American Idiot’ all over again. Maybe it’s just the timing of things, but it hit me just right revisiting it after a long time of not giving it a proper listen. ‘Give Me Novacaine’ is an underappreciated song from the album. Also, the guitar tones are masterful on the album. The whole thing has aged very well.

-The trilogy is more fun than I give it credit for, but I think thats because quantity wins over quality in this era. I still prefer listening to my ‘Cuatro’ playlist made with 14 of my favorite songs from the three albums, which reminds me a lot of ‘Warning’ when I listen to it. I also love the guitar tones in this era A LOT. There’s something about fat/full tones that still give off clarity in the mix. This band just knows how to do it. It’s gotta be those P90’s BJ and Jason love to use.

-21CB grew one me a lot over the years. I appreciate it for what it is and how successful it was and still is. I have to be in the right mood to listen to it though and that’s okay with me. I still enjoy it and can get through the repetition a lot of the songs have throughout the album.

-I officially think FOAM isn’t their worst album. That title goes to ‘Dos’. Turns out I dislike way more songs on ‘Dos’ than I do on FOAM.

 

Insomniac turns 25 today!

 

This is really fucking cool

 

excuse me WHAT

 

No fucking way

I never thought I would see the day

 

The video description confirms they are releasing Money Money 2020 II! This is going to be interesting haha.

 

The first album really isn't good, but I'll still listen of course, just don't have high hopes

 

I love the first album lol, I've always wanted to see them chase that sound more but always assumed if any of the side projects were to get a followup album it would FBHT (which I still desperately want)
