Hell yeah. It’s the Letterbomb of 21CB!

 

Letterbomb is god tier.

 

“christian’s inferno” is so dope

ppl invent reasons to hate 21cb songs i swear

 

Know Your Enemy feels wayyyy longer than it is. It’s only 3 minutes long but I swear it feels like 5 minutes. That’s what repetition does.

 

Don’t ever watch a live version.

 

i swear to god this website’s obsession with “repetition”

 

Also everytime I hear East Jesus Nowhere all I can think of is Will Ferrel banging the cowbell and asking the band if the song was over when it wasn’t. Too funny.

 

It probably took them 5 minutes to write it. It's listenable, but just so simple. It's like Alkaline Trio's "This Addiction" to me lol something they could write in their sleep

 

know your enemy is the worst song on that album. no reason that should have been a single.

 

Yeah I have no idea why Know Your Enemy is the only song from that album that they still play (besides bringing 21 Guns back for Hella Mega), agreed that it's easily the worst song on the album

 

But... do you know your enemy? Do you???

 

Nowadays I agree that Know Your Enemy is one of their weakest songs, but when I was 10 I heard it in the trailer for Jackie Chan's The Spy Next Door and I thought it was the coolest song I had ever heard. And that's basically how I fell in love with music haha. So I really can't argue against it being a single.

 

Nah, sorry. Know Your Enemy is a good song actually.

 

It’s an okay song, but it’s way too repetitive, and yes that is absolutely a valid criticism

 

it isn’t, you motherfuckers listen to punk rock!!! a genre in which repetition is good

 

Hear me out: excessive repetition in songs is bad, except when it’s good.

 

craig is right

 

I don't like Know Your Enemy and me and my friends used to end the chorus with the phrase "raw egg."

 

Know Your Enemy, besides being a good song, is worth it just for the callback later in the album. I love shit like that.

 

It’s so repetitive that it gets stuck in my head.

 

Warning, along with being my favorite green day album, is in fact, their best album.

 

Listened to 21CB on my run today. Album rules. It's probably 2-3 tracks too long, but there's a lot of great stuff on there.

 

For me 21CB is flawed in that as a whole it’s very enjoyable, but it’s too long for me to want to ever listen to as a whole. But I don’t really listen to any of the songs individually, because there aren’t many standouts that I ever feel like coming back to on their own

 

WHISKEY SHOTS AND CHEAP CIGARETTES

 

American Eulogy is easily the best song on there. Gives me Nimrod vibes
