This site is unexpectedly AWESOME. The frontend is so nice! The audio perfectly syncs up to a video when you open up the accordion, and I love the giant fonts. The best part though is the bitcrushing image carousels omg. The images get higher res as they're scrolled into view! https://imgur.com/a/TIWA9FW

Kudos to the designers and devs on this.

I mean, when I first tried to open the website it just wouldn't load on my iPhone, so I tried on the laptop. It took ~10 seconds to load. I just assumed the bitcrushing was more issues with bandwidth and badly compressed images rather than a design choice. But your comment made me sit through everything to see if i could really get it. I guess I can recognize the work that went into this and the concept behind it... having said that, I am definitely not the target audience for this website and am struggling not to write an extremely negative comment about green day and 90s nostalgia

Always at least one every thread.

> Sorry but this site is trash because it took 10s to load on my One Laptop Per Child running LFS connected to my 3g hotspot. I literally cannot imagine why anyone could ever like this.

I physically chuckled

Literal old man yells at cloud.

The struggle was in vain.

I thoroughly enjoyed it, this is as iconic of an album as I could imagine especially given my age at the time it was released, but all to say yes my iPhone feels like it’s going to catch fire after a couple minutes on the site lol

A few of their songs are really catchy, regardless of what you think of them (which I bet I agree with). Get over it.
