I shared in another thread that my 2 favorite albums overall were American Idiot and The Black Parade (both rock operas). Just curious as to which one people think is the better album.
Black Parade and it's not really close to me. Which is something I really wouldn't have expected to be saying even 5 years ago
Final scores: Holiday - 4 Jesus of Suburbia - 14 Jesus of Suburbia is, without surprise, the winner of American Idiot.
21ST CENTURY BREAKDOWN: Round 1: American Eulogy Vs. Last of the American Girls Restless Heart Syndrome Vs. East Jesus Nowhere
That may be so, but there's no reason why a song like Holiday couldn't be tweaked to be a part of a larger song like JOS.
But that’s not the point of this voting at all. And I don’t care. My only point is that it’s okay to just state a preference sometimes. You don’t need to make up some stupid reasoning to justify it.
This may be blasphemous, but I think I prefer this album to AI. Feels more musically diverse and, while there aren't the highs of Jesus of Suburbia, I think it's more consistent as a whole. Anyway: Eulogy Restless
Maybe the person who gave that reasoning initially just wanted to share their thoughts. Are these bracket threads limited to only the song titles? No. The thoughts and discussion are a part of it.
I’m not a fan of stupid thoughts. I like to hear reasons behind song preference if there is one. If it’s just nonsense, I prefer to not see it.
