The Songs From Nimrod
This is just to give you an in-depth look at some of the
songs off the album...
- Nice Guys Finish Last
This is a pretty good opening. It's very catchy. I can
always get the tune in my head. But watch out, because it's easy
to get sick of.
- Hitchin' A Ride
Well, this is the single... so if you bothered to look at my
page this far, you probably know about it already. I love this
song. It sounds a lot like "Brainstew," only it's not as
repetitive.
- The Grouch
Somehow this seems more like a Mike or Tre song than a Billie
Joe song. It's pretty good though.
- Redundant
Pretty good song. This is one of my favorites, because it
actually has a hint of the sweet romantic stuff that is absent in
most Green Day songs lately.
- Scattered
I don't know why this song isn't more memorable, because it's
really a great song. Nice melody, nice lyrics.
- All the Time
Similar to the first song. Pretty good, but just a little TOO
catchy....
- Worry Rock
I think this is my favorite of all the songs on this album.
It reminds me a little of the better stuff on Insomniac and
Dookie.
- Platypus (I Hate You)
Much like "Jaded," only it isn't a bad song.
- Uptight
- Last Ride In
The only purely instrumental Green Day song I've ever heard.
Well, it's okay, but I don't generally like instrumental songs.
So I programmed my CD-player to skip it.
- Jinx
- Haushinka
Another romantic song in a mess of Insomniac-type
songs. Not the best, but still pretty good. It's sort of
reminscent of the old Green Day stuff from the very first album.
- Walking Alone
Ooh, this one uses a harmonica. It's pretty cool, but sort of
sad. I wonder who plays the harmonica...
- Reject
I like this song! I don't know why, but it's just really
good. I don't understand exactly what it's about, but it has a
nice tune.
- Take Back
This song is weird and not very substantial.
- King For A Day
Great lyrics! "Who put the 'drag' in drag queen?" It sounds
like a carnival song or something. Actually, I liked it before I
even knew what the lyrics were.
- Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)
Too soft. I thought Green Day had cured themselves of that
after Insomniac... However, it has become a hit and made a
lot of people into Green Day fans. So I guess I can't bash it.
- Prosthetic Head
I got a tip that this will be the next single from
Nimrod. I think of all the songs, it is the most deserving
to achieve single status, even though it's not the best song.
I hope these don't sound at all harsh. I love Nimrod
and Green Day is the best band I know.
