Bracket Case (Green Day Bracket) Bracket • Page 53

This album is SO much better than the entire trilogy combined.

 

Still Breathing (One of my favorite Green Day songs)

Too Dumb To Die (This was tough - these songs are pretty even for me, but I'll give this the slight edge)

Bang Bang (Easy pick)

Forever Now (This was pretty easy too)

Bang Bang
Forever Now

 

For real.

 

Wow I really liked this album when it came out but just re-listening now and yikes. I just can't get into it and the lyrics do nothing for me outside a few tracks. Until Outlaws it's basically a mid-period Anti-Flag album to my ears, but with more vague, less cutting lyrics. I actually remembered most trilogy songs better than Revolution Radio. All that said, Still Breathing is the band's best song since American Idiot.

Still Breathing - 15

Too Dumb to Die - 11

Forever Now

Aside from Still Breathing, the "I don't wanna think about tomorrow" passage of Forever Now is the album's highlight.

 

Finally getting around to listening to this for the first time since shortly after it came out. I'm not sure if it's something with the vocals, but, even though a lot of the songs are really pretty good, just something is preventing me from getting into it. Bang Bang is a lot better than I remember it being though
