Good review, I disagree with some of it but hey, we've all got different opinions.  

I like all of the songs, but I haven't quite gotten on the "Turn me Loose" train just yet.   That one and "The Last Time" have been the ones that are having to grow on me, which is funny because everybody else seems to think those are the highlights.   Happiness and Cult Hero are by far my two favorite tracks and Goodbye to Romance is my least favorite.  

Obviously anything Billie does is going to be compared to American Idiot, but now everyone is comparing everything to both Idiot and the Trilogy.   

I will like this record even after the next Green Day record comes and goes.  

 

 

 

This dude is like the worst reviewer on youtube, not just with this but overall out of the many reviews I have seen from him  lol

I believe everyone has their own opinion so I'm not here to judge but just to say my piece for the sake of the conversation. 

Personally I'm not a fan of the album I like it but only "love is for losers"  "Happiness" and "taxi driver". Maybe in the future I'll come around and like it more but its what Billie Joe wants to do so I cant be too mad, that's the reality of it were all gonna like somethings and not others. I hope in the future I can get more behind this band with future albums but for now I'm still on the fence. I do like the more laid back style though, its a good album to play in the background while im studying or chillin with friends.

This is NOT Greenday this is a completely different band so can we stop comparing them to Greenday, They are going to sound different and have a completely different vision for what they want to be or do.

Listened to it all the way thru today.  Love it, just not into Body Bag.

It's definitely a grower.

I love it, but I guess I can see why it won't be popular, there is nothing groudbreaking here, just some rock n roll bangers.

What's it trying to be that it's not? Honestly just seems like straightforward Billie writing songs like he usually does, with a bit of a classic rock influence to me.

Meh. I'm not it's biggest fan but it's ok, it feels like a collection of trilogy b-sides. This isn't a Green Day release, which is why "this isn't Green Day". I don't really think he's "promoting this new band so hard", he's posted about it on Instagram and they're doing a small tour- he's not exactly shouted it from the rooftops, gone on national television or anything.

New Green Day will come around, just take this for what it is, Billie writing some songs and you might have the chance to see them in a small venue

I didn't read the whole thread and I'm not going to, just adding my two cents: I fucking love The Last Time. It hink it's already my tune of the summer 2018, it gives me life. Body Bag grew on me a lot after listening to it a couple of times, I wasn't a big fan of it before. The Goodbye To Romance cover is a thing of beauty imo. I'm happy with what we got and I'm eagerly waiting for the release of Devil's Kind and the announcement of a tour in Europe (please?!) :happy:

Because he disagrees with your opinion? That's probably it

He's not the most subjective reviewer on YouTube but he's not that bad. I don't watch him regularly though

I'm finding it hard to give the album more listens because every time I start to I can't resist just listening to The Last Time over and over again instead :lol:. What a tune.

Edit: Also if I do make it to the end of the album I have to keep repeating Goodbye to Romance :wub:

Best songs to me are The Last Time, Chasing A Ghost, Happiness and Soul Surrender

No way would I agree with that. The trilogy is better. RevRad is better. And it doesn't even compare with 21CB

I love all of Love is For Losers, all the songs are very catchy, but there are only 2 songs on there which I connect as strongly with (and love as much) as half of the songs on each trilogy album, on 21st CB and on RevRad. Just for Still Breathing, Somewhere Now and Forever Now, and other personal gems on there such as Outlaws, Troubled Times and Ordinary World (with Billie alone singing!), I'm don't know if any album could ever top RevRad for me. It could only be a Green Day album if it happens! :wub:

I must say though that Happiness is certainly in my top 10 songs written by Billie Joe. I don't know where exactly, but it's there. For some Reason it made me think of Troubled Times, because of the similar feeling I get when hearing both songs. Personal and social aspects of a same sort of rainy day sadness.

I’m really liking this album! Only song I’m not a big fan of is Body Bag. The Last Time and Happiness are probably favorites!

1. Happiness

2. The Last Time

3. Chasing a Ghost

And Body Bag may be number 4 now... not especially for the album version but more how Billie sings it live, from the videos that were posted. It's a song that ought to be played live.

Any idea if more tour dates are on other sites or...?

Edit: I'm being completely irrational and looking at booking ways to travel to DC or Baltimore, since there is bound to be an NYC date...

I'm being completely irrational because after failing for the last gig, I'm going to look for a ticket for any of the shows in May, once they go on sale next Friday; if I ever succeed, with any doubtful luck, I'm gonna jump and cry during 3 hours and then buy a plane trip, and finally tell my boss he won't be seeing me during 3 days at work lol :lol: even though i love my boss and my work and we have so much work to get done... but I want to be a little selfish in May, especially when I never get or ask for holidays because I get bored staying at home more than 2 days.

I keep seeing people askiing but never see anyone answering.   

Any correct lyrics out there?  Because the ones I'm reading are not lining up with what Billie is shouting.  

The Last Time is pretty clear, but I'm kind of a stickler.  They miss a few "the"s and it pisses me off.    

Body Bag and Love is for Losers, I hear you loud and clear.  But the rest, oh dear lord.....

In Taxi Driver, is he going to a late night shift, or a late night shit.....because that's what all the lyrics keep saying.  Also, "Taxi driver works a mission" or "submission" ......and the biggest problem in this one:    "so when the hope comes I am a go"      Come on, people.    Billie writes some strange lines sometimes but wha????????????????

In Chasing a Ghost, is he talking about a guy at the end or a girl.  It could be "her" or "him" and I've seen both spelled out.   Whatshersex?

Cult Hero:   I'm a WHAT of the story never told?   I keep seeing "heathen" for the chorus but I don't hear it.  Doesn't sound even close to what he's saying.  

Kill Your Friends:   What comes after Mauseleum......is it "WHERE I GO" ????????????  and then the last chorus has some random words in there.

Happiness:    This one pisses me off the most.   He says "how ALONE is your restlessness"   not "how LONELY"     it's kind of a tongue twister, which brings to be another song.  I'll get there in a second.   

Soul Surrender:   Is it sweet OLD or sweet HOME suicide?  

Just me and my imagination   ?????????????
I swear I think I saw a ghost
Only me out of my temptation   ????????????

also - KEEP ME CLEAN AND BLOW MY NOSE.  what the literal heck, man?  

Turn me Loose:     "I'm an inspector and the borderline" is NOT what I am hearing.  

a-running.   Really?   

Dogtag tales?   TONGUE TIED TALES, right?   

I'll go down swinging for the foul line   (wha?)          (sports analogies, I can't make heads or tails of this)
I'm not a rebel for my bride  (wha?)                        (bride, pride, kride, zide, what??????????)
Just for the record and the afterlife (ha-ha)     (would be poetic if I had any freaking clue what was going on in this song)
I'll take a beating but won't die  (wha?)  (I give up)
I got a case of burning cold  (coal, coats, berting,   wha???????)

Somebody help me!!!!!!!!

I think Genius has most of the correct lyrics. That's what I've been using. Also, if you have a genius account you can edit any mistakes you see in the lyrics. I think every lyric site is still figuring out the lyrics themselves because it is hard to tell at times
