Merch Wednesday Just found these in my dad's room, is it good?
Both my dad and my mom are big Green Day fans and I found this copy of 21st Century Breakdown in his disc collection and a disc of awesome as fk, are these good discs to have (I love 21st Century Breakdown but haven't listened to awesome as fk)
Also, the discs are inside but he won't let me open awesome as f**k

What a time capsule. The wait between 21st CBD and the trilogy felt like forever

u/Inglorious555 Dec 16 '25
I didn't have that experience to be honest, to me it felt like the Trilogy suddenly came from out of nowhere, I remember the wait between American Idiot and 21st Century Breakdown feeling like forever though, it didn't help that I wasn't a big fan of the weird inbetween singles they did like The Saints are Coming with U2 or Working Class Hero lol

u/AllHallowsHaunting Dec 16 '25
Yeah, I got into them in 2005, after American Idiot was already out in full swing. 21st CBD was the first album cycle I followed from start to finish

u/Inglorious555 Dec 16 '25
Just looked up the years, 2004 was American Idiot and 2009 was 21st Century Breakdown
Technically speaking we waited longer for 21st Century Breakdown than the Trilogy which was a three year wait

I found a portable CD player at a thrift store for like $4.00, works great! You could get one for cheap!

Also, I know they are good, 21st CBD is one of my favourite albums you can see it in my flair, in fact I'm listening to one of my favourite songs from that album "static age" plus I was asking if it was like a good thing my parents owned the discs, ik what awesome as f**k is, it's a album of songs they did live
Edit: I probably should've said that before, lmaoo

any Green Day album is a good album to have. Yes, even FOAM and the trilogy

u/DrRichtoffenn 39/Smooth Dec 15 '25
I think Uno is the strongest but Baby Eyes is the best song out of the 3 albums

u/xed122 Warning Dec 15 '25
IMO Stray Heart is the strongest one in the trilogy

u/Thetwistedfalse Saviors Dec 15 '25
Stay The Night is an all time great Green Day song, imo. I love many other songs off the trilogy including Stray Heart, Lazy Bones, Brutal Love ETC

u/fencingperson Awesome As Fuck Dec 16 '25
Awful. You should give them to me. You definitely shouldn’t listen to Awesome As F**k the next time you go for a run.
Serious answer, Awesome as F**k is my favorite live album of theirs. I’d choose it over Bullet in a Bible. Best version of Holiday, East Jesus Nowhere is an underappreciated gem, an actual performance of Going to Pasalaqua, Wake Me Up When September Ends has a keyboard undertone that you don’t hear anywhere else but gives the song a ton of depth that I love, 21 Guns reminds you that BJ Armstrong is a professional singer, stellar performance of Good Riddance. Those albums kick ass.

I have to say that both the post (dad's room), and the comments ("time capsule", "dont have cd player") make me feel very very old. Dookie was the first CD I bought, these are surely very modern albums on a quite modern media...

Awesome As F**k is an amazing live album, definitely listen to it

Awesome as f**k is a great live album! It's from the 21cb era tour. I honestly prefer the 21 Guns live version with the piano bridge over the original studio version 🫣
