First time I’m excited for a GD album in ages! I’m loving Dilemma and Look Ma. The American Dream is ok too.
In anticipation of this album I’ve been listening to their past stuff for the fist time in a long while. Insomniac still rules and is probably up there with Dookie for me. I like Warning FAR less than I used to. At one time I considered it my favorite but I did not love this recent listen. American Idiot, whenever the second track starts, I’m like, “this is fine but it’s missing something” and then the song shifts and the album kicks into high gear. Great stuff.
Yeah, Warning is arguably their best album for me. I'm 100% in the minority but I never liked Nimrod or Insomniac. It's probably been 15-20 years since I gave either another shot, so maybe I'll change that soon. I started doing a discog run a few weeks ago but got sidetracked once I got to Dookie.
Dookie and AI are in a different league for me but Nimrod is constantly bopping in and out of my favorite
I never could get into Nimrod as a whole. Too long. Too much filler, but damn does it have some of their best songs.
