what a nice looking man, i wonder how he will react when he only has one minute left of his iHeart Music Festival performance
@@elliotworman7569 or deny the fact that he is indeed Justin Bieber
...
He’ll probably use his one minute well.
september 22nd 2012 one fucking minute incident
Oh no...
“Jesus of Suburbia” will never be affected by the Overplay Octopus
Being 9 min long will do that
Facts
i'm working in a bar and that's one of the songs htey like to play everytime. I can't hate it for some rason
@@nicolasriveros943 oh, interesting
it's one of those songs where upon each listen i find or notice a new thing or meaning i didn't before.
I just love how when they get tired of Green Day, they just make another band with the same members but playing a different genre; I feel like they genuinely love each other.
Foxboro Hot Tubs is my favourite out of the bunch
Yeah every green day side project is just them plus there touring members doing a different thing
Honestly? Props to them, it sounds like a thing I would do. Sometimes you just wanna be a different thing
A Weezer DDD would be the funniest thing ever
Edit: the prophecy came true
I’m hoping he does my album justice
@@thedogfromraditude5449 It's to see you again. I'm glad you could pause your partying long enough to comment
i need some of that
It should be at the end of next year.
I hope he does cover Weezer some day
When my parents heard eight year old me lying on my bed singing Boulevard of Broken Dreams they should have taken me to a therapist right then
You are slowly becoming the Scott the Woz of music and I am all for it
Thanks, that's why I like him
Hey y’all, Scott here!
I was thinking the same thing
Hey yall...
i legit had that thought not even 3 minutes in. pretty sure ive never watched a mic the snare video before (that i know of, i could be wrong) and i was like "hes like the music version of scott the woz"
A Paramore or Deftones run through would be excellent.
I haven't listened to enough Paramore, but Deftones is an excellent pick. some of the best music post-2000, period--not to mention godly singing that's unique to Chino and their mix of majesty + sleaze give plenty to talk about--but also enough highs and lows that there's plenty of contrast across their discography. it's not a spotless discog where every take is "this is top-notch". my personal favorites are White Pony (duh) and Diamond Eyes.
A retrospect on Deftones would be so amazing. I would love to see his reaction to a band who changed over time by their own rules but never quite blew up like their contemporaries but also never lost their momentum.
YAAASSSSSSS on the Paramore thing, hayley williams is such a wonder, the music has only gotten better and the band's history is very interesting
deftones would be perfect
Yeees paramore
I know theatre critics hated American Idiot but as a theatre kid I really enjoyed it. The arrangement of Last Night on Earth is gorgeous. Having female voices sing green day songs is always a great choice
Yes! And Tom Kitt's arrangements are gorgeous!
I thought it was a very well adapted show! Keeps the original energy of the songs, as the band had a big hand in the creation. but adds musical theater elements (vocal harmony arrangments) that heighten the impact.
It has some narrative problems (mainly just that it's a bit broad and isn't terribly well defined narratively), but it's a damn good show nontheless. The narrative is functional enough, and the music is great, the arrangements are brilliant, and it has loads of energy.
Still my favorite musical ever it’s iconic idk why people hate on it
I'll say, when I attended Hella Mega, I was blown away by how fantastic of a frontman Billie Joe Armstrong still is, the dude couldn't be full of more energy and explosive excitement to get the crowd going batshit crazy - - - even a crowd that was 4 hours into the marathon concert that was Hella Mega. And Tre Cool and Mike more than kept up with that energy.
and they're almost 50 years old
that concert was pretty cool. i was completely draiiined after (partly because of the energy green day gave). the set list was good as well.
concert was amazing, but i could not stand billy joe stopping everysong mid way through to fuel his ego for 5 minutes omg it was awful
i saw GD both on their Revolution Radio tour and on Hella Mega Tour. i've seen more small venue shows than stadium/arena shows by this point, and i strongly prefer them because of how much more crowd interaction there is, both between performers and crowd members and between crowd members and other crowd members. but Billie Joe just knows how to make a stadium show fun! and Mike and Tre can not only keep up with Billie Joe, but their stellar live playing actually enhances BJ's energy. Green Day is probably the only legacy band i'd even consider getting arena show tickets for anymore, let alone AGAIN. all members of Green Day have more energy at 50+ than i do at 22 lmao. and entertaining a crowd that's already several hours into a concert is NOT easy. Green Day is seriously one of the best bands i've ever seen live, their shows only rank below certain small venue shows for me because of the cool shit that happens at small venues (like literally getting to mosh with the singer; KennyHoopla, for anyone wondering, i highly recommend him!).
if you like Green Day and you like concerts, go see them next tour. you WILL NOT regret it!
@@pizzzaeater1425 And what makes it even crazier is that Billie mentioned both pre and post-Hella Mega that he much prefers playing (and watching) shows in smaller venues
I'm honestly a little shocked at how nice you were to Father of All. That thing got torn apart by pretty much everyone.
It’s a bad album, but a bit overhated imo
@@calvin7978 I agree
It isn’t that bad. Their worst for sure, but it’s mediocre at worst and has a few great songs at best
I think that marketing thing really sunk it cause it taunts the audience. Like if they were to promote it as more power pop or even modern radio rock? That'd fit. But it's not glam or old time rock'n'roll.
Every song to me just sounded like a take on Portugal The Man. (That band with the "ooooh, I'm a rebel just for kicks now" song)
Sugar Youth is a great song
do the beatles next, theyre a small band from england but they have a couple good songs
we really need that car seat headrest dive or kate bush. but id also love to hear an AJR style dive about the downfall of maroon 5
A M5 DDD would be really interesting. Apparently they have a new album coming out soon too, so that would be good timing.
@@rincallinen7312 yea i think it would be pretty funny
The last album from when they were an actual band was pretty good.
But it flopped, so they rereleased it with Moves Like Jagger.
We need thess both. I would love those.
Edit: one down, one to go
You got bush
finally!! I've voted for Green Day in almost every poll
Me too
sorry but where do I vote
I'm begging for a kate bush ddd!!!
I'm starting to think our day will never come.
Especially now, considering she was snubbed for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
I will literally do anything
@@geoffreyheckroodt2018 to be quite honest, the HOF doesnt deserve kate bush
Granted
as someone currently doing a paper for my masters on the authenticity of modern pop-punk, thank you for your service
That sounds like a rad paper topic!
@@alianne92 it's genuinely been really fun! it's really interesting comparing modern pop-punk work, particularly MOD Sun & MGK and comparing that to Blink-182, Green Day, older skate-punk and the emergence of punk-rock. A lot of interesting stories and similar situations repeating themselves. My conclusion atm is that pop-punk is just fast, guitar music that's either about stupid topics or lived experiences and artists are embraced when playing the genre by the industry & audience.
@@jamescbrown8149 do you also touch on 2010's pop punk acts from the midwest (the story so far, real friends, knuckle puck) and the 2015 british scene spearheaded by neck deep?
@@Plunkcown I'm tipping my cap to it but that's all I can afford to give it on my word count for this assignment, I'm calling it a semi-underground scene through that point as there are bands having widespread success but don't have breakthrough chart hits that bands could achieve in the 2000's, and the next time pop-punk charted again and became relevant to the wider areas of popular music is with MGK, hence the title of my essay at this moment is: "Pop-Punk in 2020/21: a Renaissance or gentrified rubbish?
@@jamescbrown8149 fair enough. i just get peeved when mgk gets praise for "bringing back pop-punk" when the scene has been going strong with great bands for 10 years. i know they aint made it mainstream the way MGK did but still, comes across quite misinformed. so good to hear you acknowledge it
Every time someone gives Misery the respect it deserves an extra year is added to my life span
So if I tell everyone I know about it, you will live forever. Thank me later.

You know you're no longer young when you've hated your favorite band's last 5 albums. Green Day is that band, and yes, I'm old.
I'm sure the next one will be good 😁
I actually liked Revolution Radio, but yeah the Trilogy and Father Of All Motherfuckers kinda sucked.
@@Snoebalthe trilogy is amazing
@@kurtcobainsboyfriend the trilogy has some very good songs, but most of it is filler which in my opinion ranges from mediocre to bad.
It’s David Byrne’s birthday so I’m obligated to suggest Talking Heads
David's solo albums also deserve a DDD
I really appreciate how you framed Green Day's exploration into more radio friendly sounds as "experimentation". I takes a lot of conviction, commitment and creativity to be able to break away from your established sound and figure out how it works in a poppier way. So many bands fail at it and lose what made them special in the first place. Bands don't get enough credit when they "sell out" successfully, but Green Day managed it.

@@MrSkerpentine It's almost like punks prefer authenticity and raw sound over commerically-minded pop music
I loved "here's a photo of the band members!" I laughed in a way that I hadn't in a long time.
You must have some insane connections to time the release of this video with a possible new single announcement on their Instagram page, bravo
lol
Warning deserves a lot more attention, it’s so good.
best green day album imo
Facts
It’s incredible
facts lol
Yep, best production among all their albums IMO. Plus, Misery is easily a Top 5 Green Day song hehe
What a nostalgia trip! Although when my 40 year old self heard “I grew up on this album. I was basically 9 years old when it (American Idiot) was released” - I choked on my fibre cereal and started looking for retirement homes in my area.
I am HERE for the nimrod praise, it's one of my favorite albums of all time, no skips
Also yes Nightlife is by far the WORST song green day has ever produced
Definitely my favorite album, and Hitchin A Ride is by far my favorite Green Day song.
We have to re-group and re-vote. I will see Mic the snare go through every car seat headrest album. It shall be done

The trilogy is amazing. At least it would have been if they had just condensed the best songs from each into one album.
The Dan Olson "cringe' clip is so good it's engraved in my DNA
Anyway, great video as always
I will forever love in the same video the fake gun shots
Nimrod and Warning are my favourite Green Day albums and im so upset they never went back to that sound
Yeah, Nimrod is a very close second for me behind American Idiot. Hitchin’ A Ride is such an underrated song.
My two favorite as well, warning is literally perfect
Warning is my favorite and Nimrod is a close second. Both those albums and American Idiot are in my top 10 favorite albums of all time
Such good albums
My favorite Green Day song ever is Jesus of Suburbia by far. It’s simply incredible.
I agree! Though, I personally like the climax of the album, "Homecoming," more.
@@silhouettoofaman2935 that’s actually my second favorite song by them haha.
@@TheBigAngryHobo Long songs, man. They're beginning to become a lost art! It's like I usually say: "The longer the song, the more there is to appreciate!"
Same here
For me it’s Hitchin A Ride, but Jesus Of Suburbia is definitely one of their best songs.
when you take a step back, Basket Case is seriously one of the best songs they ever made. The drum track especially.
Also yes, their vocal harmonies are seriously amazing throughout their whole career.
21st Century Breakdown is my favorite album of all time. Not only is the album incredible, that entire era of the band was massive. The artwork, the music, the asthetic, and especially the live show. I'd kill for another Green Day album like this again.
Would you....I don't know.....kill a dj?
I grew up playing Green Day rock band which is littered with 21st century breakdown promotion and visuals and I’d also 100% kill for another stadium punk rock opera from Green Day.
A DDD on GodSpeed You! Black Emperor would go crazy
I would love that!
I’m hoping for a Depeche Mode DDD soon but I’m certainly glad to see Green Day covered, I barely know anything about their deep cuts.
Yes
You should review Saviors, as it's been out for a whole 32 minutes
The American idiot Musical is absolute fire, its a combination of American Idiot and 21st cb, and the greater dynamic range adds emotion, especially during "whatsername", "boulevard of broken dreams" and "she's a rebel/last of the American girls."
I listened their rendition of whatsername on stage and it gives me chills.
Wait, they perform the whole records? If so then fuck, I hope this show is still around
And Davey Havok from AFI was in it and I fricken love him.
@@betweennames805 it's basically American Idiot with choice annotations/additions from 21st cb, if you look around the tube, you can find a few later performances from other theaters that were recorded
Broadway 21 guns is better than the original
Just saw them on tour. I too am tired of their overplayed hits, but seeing them live is like hearing them for the first time again. I was shocked at how good of a show they put on.
Oh Lord, was not expecting that Kingdom Hearts joke. That sent me over the moon!
I don't understand how someone can talk so much about nimrod but not mention the grouch, worry rock, or uptight. Those are some of the best songs of the record in my opinion
Jesus of suburbia is the best karaoke song I've ever sung
Holiday is my karaoke main
Anybody ever get mad at you for hogging the stage for ten minutes?
@@pauldenton7669 nah, that's why I go to the karaoke places with rooms. That way only my friends get pissed at me
Coming here after saviors released, and i think Green day made a new iconic punk rock banger with this album!!
21st Century Breakdown is their masterpiece and I'm willing to die on that hill
I’m willing to die on the hill of “Revolution Radio is Greenday’s best album by far.”
I 100% agree
C O R R E C T
I was just listening to it the other day and thought about how this album defies my rule of thumb that no album should be 70 minutes long. I thought, "Well, maybe it could be stronger if we remove the weaker songs, like ..."
"Okay, maybe if we remove some of the songs that aren't very very good, like ..."
My passion for 21st Century Breakdown has only gotten stronger over 12 years
Once a year I relive my 21CB phase, murder city??? East jesus nowhere???? VIVA LA GLORIA???? PEACEMAKER???????????????
It’s perfect. I’ll die on that hill with you.
finally, the band that destroyed trap beats and all swedish people is coming to justice. jokes aside even though i always vote for spoon and car seat headrest this is a terribly interesting watch
How do you pull off so many cheesy jokes without it being annoying????? I need that skill ASAP
Had completely forgotten that st. Jimmy song existed. Wasn't planning on a nostalgia trip this friday night but hey..
Need a DDD for U2, I’m always interested to see at what point people thought they went to shit
Pop. (Would love to see a U2 DDD as well.)
As far as I'm concerned, only Songs of Innocence and Songs of Experience are in the "bad to horrible" range. Maybe it's just because I was a teen when it came out, but I can't understand the flack that No Line on the Horizon gets!
While I'm dishing out possibly unpopular U2 takes, their '90s work contains plenty of their best stuff. Zooropa is my fave.
@@alejandrovasquez8527 I don’t even think those albums are necessarily bad by normal standards, just by their own standards. But it’s definitely way worse than their work in the 80s and 90s
Green Day's 'Holiday' was one of the first secular songs I was exposed to as a child raised in a Christian home. Although I scratch my head at their seemingly immature direction these days, I have tremendous appreciation for their impact on me as a young teen. I can't seem to decide if they are ever really deserving of the hate they get, but it was refreshing to hear a positive take from someone who isn't a 'born le wrong generation' type.
I thoroughly enjoyed your video and feel you are unmatched in this category. Love all your funny quips, and I love learning so much I didn't know about a band I grew up listening to. Thanks for your videos.
If you don't do a Jack White deep discog dive video (including all side projects) I will be very upset whilst still enjoying your videos
That would be a very good DDD.
it certainly is a green day now, thank you mr. the snare
King for A Day will always have a special place in the heart of queer kids and my best friend's, who is non-binary and does punk drag ("king for a day, princess by night")
Same with "Coming Clean," where Billie Joe describes his struggle with bisexuality and the liberating emotions that come with pride, all in 90-odd seconds
Something that was missed here but seems to be easy to forget is that in 2006, Green Day and U2 did a collaborative single called The Saints Are Coming. Even in my Green Day heyday of late 2000s to the early tens I didn't know about this and when I discovered it I thought it was something made recently.
EDIT: As an expansion and correction to this comment, the collaborative single is a cover and not an original song. The original Saints are Coming is from the Skids made back in the late 70s
This is honestly the best take on Green Day's discography on here. Glad someone agrees Insomniac, Warning, and Revolution Radio are great albums!
One thing that got missed is on the God’s Favorite Band compilation album, there was a new song Back in the USA which is such a catchy banger
It was so good
@@kadenzook3826 Is so good*
Man I was 12 when 21st Century Breakdown came out and I played that CD so many times. I still love that album. Same with American Idiot and Bullet in a Bible.
green day was THE band of my youth... this made me wanna go back and listen to some of their music again even tho i don't love their more recent stuff
Revolution Radio is such an underrated album imo. It's energetic and fun and i really love 'Outlaws' which feels really nostalgic and heart-warming. It's my favourite GD album along with the older stuff
Yeah it feels like American Idiot if it wasn’t a concept album. I actually like it a lot. Not their best album but still pretty good.
One of the best, most energetic concerts I've ever seen. I've seen them twice ('09 and '10 -- and have tickets for this year!) and its crazy how they can play non-stop for over 3 hours w/ little to no break between songs. Only other live shows I would put above them that I've seen are Kanye and Paul McCartney.
21 guns wasn't the lead single. It was Know Your Enemy.
unfortunately, Know Your Enemy is aggressively mid
@@linusmushroomtips776it’s alright, but 21 Guns is definitely way better.
10/10 use of Dan Olson.
Warning has overtime become my favorite Green Day album. Supremely underrated.
Green Day just dropped a new track called "Pollyanna." Gotta say, a step in the right direction
Agreed
One of the most underrated songs from 21CB FINALLY gets some recognition, yes! Restless Heart Syndrome is in my top 5 Green Day songs, no question. The build up to the breakdown following BJA singing "Know your enemy" gives me life!
The WHOLE NETWORK thing was great!!
The whole public fight they had! Lmado!
It was great
Weezer would be an interesting band for a DDD. They have one of the most up-and-down discographies of any band that I know. On top of the fact that they've released 2 albums so far this year that are on such polar opposite sides of the spectrum to each other.
we’re long overdue for a Beatles DDD and a Phil Elverum DDD
A Phil Elverum DDD would be so good!
I always thought uno dos and tres were a fever dream... love the nod to Dan (Folding Ideas)
As someone who was introduced to green day with 21st century breakdown and then spent 2010 going through their discography was a pleasant surprise. As someone who wasn't into pop punk it served as a gentle push into the scene. When you already like the band you become more open to different styles they have worked with.
Loved the exploration of Green Day's discography! They were such a formative band for me as I entered my teens. The post 21st Century Breakdown stuff never resonated with me the same way, but I keep coming back to American Idiot, Nimrod, Dookie and especially Warning. Warning is the album I'm always surprised by how much I love even after so many years.
In terms of bands to cover for future DDD, Rush would be a fun one. 20 albums, varying sounds, and the best drummer to ever play. Could even release it in July for Canada Day.
Commenting to boost this. Rush is one of my favorite bands
YES! He would have covered my two favorite bands then! There's a lot more to them than what their radio hits may suggest.
@@silhouettoofaman2935 favorite album go
@@al3ph35 Hemispheres. Easy.
@@silhouettoofaman2935 I gotta give it to a farewell to kings. The instrumental world building on that album is insane. Not a bad pick tho!
The transition between Holiday and Boulevard of Broken Dreams might just be my favorite thing ever.
No joke I think my introduction to Green Day was, of all things, "Amy" from Dos, mainly since I had been a fan of Amy Winehouse and wanted to hear what I was told was a really great tribute to her. It's still honestly up there as one of my favourite Green Day songs along with "Whatsername," both of which I'm kinda sad were not discussed in the video but honestly I can't complain with how good this video was. Will for sure have to go check out the playlist and the albums I haven't checked out yet. Thanks again Mr. The Snare, keep up the great work.
Love your deep dives so much! This was great. Green Day has been my favorite band since 2004 and I loved hearing your assessment of their career + catalogue. Spot on. You need to do a DDD for Fall Out Boy and Panic! at the Disco now. 🤪 Both bands have interesting musical trajectories, but there’s such mystical mythology surrounding Panic!’s first 3 albums… I never get tired of hearing people discuss them.
For real though, that new Network album is actually fire and the most creative thing the boys have done in a long time
Kerplunk was the first album I owned from any band. Honestly, there are 9 great tracks on it. I consider it on par with Dookie, Insomniac, and Nimrod. That was the greatest stretch of albums from anyone in the past 30 years.
Basket Case is legit my theme song. It's the first GD song I listened to, and it's only nostalgic for me.
I'm sorry, but did you just CASUALLY bring up the Voodoo Vince OST?
How do I keep finding more reasons to love this channel?
I will be waiting till the end of time for a Car Seat Headrest DDD
"Dookie" was released during my Senior Year of Highschool; a buddy & I tried to get DJ at Prom to play them; he said: "Sounds made up & even IF real, will never last...."
The black keys doing feel it still, that made me lose my shit😭
"the beatles... lego"
HAHAHAHAHA holy shit so green day was my favorite band during my formative teen years like many of us and this brought me back. great video
YES, NIMROD DESERVES SO MUCH MORE LOVE THAN IT GETS!
(8:40) "Billy Joe got married, and both he and Tre had kids"
I definitely interpreted that sentence wrong.
With American Idiot, like you I was around 9 when it came out and my very political father was obsessed to the point that he’d let me and my four year old sister sing along to it in the house, much to the horror of our mum. One of my strongest memories though, is driving back from my grandad’s funeral (bear in mind this was about an 8 hour trip from my parents hometown to where we were living) and watching my dad cry when Wake Me Up When September ends came on. For that reason alone this album will always hold a place in my heart. An excellent DDD as always! 💕
That Nevermind joke was amazing
That was a very much younger me stage diving at 3:21
My very first (and current) favorite band
“It just goes to show, never create anything” really got me lol
I always appreciate how much effort goes into these videos. Your writing and humor keeps me coming back cuz like half the ppl you cover I could care less about but I always watch these videos because I know a lot of time and care have gone into them. Another banger right here!
The DDD series is always a joy to watch, I am always looking forward to the next one!! Listening to you talk about music is so infectious and it’s easy to tell how passionate you are about music regardless of what artist or genre you’re talking about. I know it’s cringe but I would love to hear your take on literally ANY K-pop group’s discography.
Please do a King Gizzard deep dive some day! There's so much to go through and each album is unique.
the disguise jokes where the best parts of this video. laughed at every single one
I saw American Idiot the musical in 2010 and I thought it was incredible. The way that they portrayed Wake Me Up When September Ends with the light and projectors that made it look like papers (and bodies) falling from the sky...I was sobbing. Plus if you hear more recent versions of it, Billie does change the line from "Twenty years have gone so fast" to "forty years" when it comes to the death of his father. I got chills when I heard it live late last year and it's still the main thing I think about when I am asked about the concert.
My personal order of GD albums to listen to would be AI, Warning, Nimrod, 21st Century Breakdown, Rev Rad, and then Tre (personally Tre became my favorite album out of the trilogy). Also give a listen to the Broadway cast recording of American Idiot. The orchestrations on some songs bring new light into them.
who wrote holden caulfield has to be one of the most underrated green day songs
Longview is the best song about executive dysfunction there is.
Mic blessing us once again. Bless!
I do have a very important memory with Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)
At my graduation, it was one of the songs that was played when we were walking to our spots for the cap toss. I remember just balling my eyes out when I heard it over the speakers
Love this!... however I’m BOUND to disagree with you as a huge fan, so here’s my opinion on all their albums:
39/Smooth (1039..)- I mean, you weren’t wrong at all, its sure is PRIMITIVE, but it’s got some very good ideas and you can see the potential, but I wouldn’t personally return to it.
Best Song- Going To Pascalqua
Kerplunk- I’m going to say every album by them that isn’t well loved is underrated, but this album is legit great, and has some of their most consistent hooks and great instrumentation (this consistently in bops is something seen in all their 90s output)
Best songs- 2000 Light Years Away, Who Wrote Holden Caulfield?, One of My Lies
Dookie- Classic, but everyone knows that.
Best songs- Burnout, Having A Blast, the singles (hot take?)
Insomniac- Funnily enough, AS GOOD as Dookie, it’s so fucking ferocious and angry it’s definitely a vibe worth diving into.
Best Tracks- Stuck With Me, 86, Bran Stew/Jaded (can’t be seperated), Panic Song, Tight Wad Hill
Nimrod- One of their best albums, and while it’s a deviation from their normal sound, MY GOD it’s some of the best pop punk EVER MADE.
Best tracks- ...Can’t pick only a few? (King For A Day and Haushinka are legit amazing)
Warning- I could say this is their best album and every song and risk they take absolutely works, and I’d be correct (except for the best album part it gets hard man they have multiple classics)
Best Tracks- The whole album, but especially Castaway, Hold On, Church On Sunday, Waiting and MACYS DAY PARADE (legit their best slow song)
American Idiot- ..of course this is my favorite album of theirs ITS MY CHILDHOOD DAMNIT
Best Tracks- All of them, but the two 9 minute songs are their best songs period.
21st Century Breakdown- No, it isn’t as tight as American Idiot, but has some of their best songs separated from the album (I also think it’s politics are better written weirdly enough)
Best Tracks- Peacemaker, Murder City, East Jesus Nowhere, American Eulogy
The whole Trilogy- would make one great album, kinda “eh” as 30 songs.
Best tracks- Let Yourself Go, Stray Heart, Nuclear Family, Lazy Bones
RevRad- a legit great “comeback” album that I hold a lot of sentimental value for.
Best Tracks- Forever Now, Bouncing Of The Wall, Still Breathing
Father Of All- Fantano should be questioned for thinking this was worse than FUCKING SOUTHSIDE, but it’s still not great, even if it has some solid moments
Best Tracks- Meet Me On The Roof, Sugar Youth
Snare heads rise up
Great analysis. Spot on my friend.
This was great dude, thank you! My favorite band.
