It’s one of the best car albums in a while. If there ever was an album full of songs that were “Don’t Stop Me Now” by Queen, it would be the perfect car ride. I listen to listenability in a car as a style “car music” By far the, the best travel song: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm quite jealous of you still having the first listen to look forward to . You'll have to check out the EPs and Devil's Kind too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iva Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Will do. And remember - if it hadn't been for you, I wouldn't have known that my lame download of RR was mono or a transcode. Still need to get the album...this never happened before. ;( Stupid 2017. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solongfromthestars Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 This album is honestly one of my favourite things Billie has done. It's so relatable - it deals with something we all go through, which is actually really dark, masked by catchy tunes. I love how he's tied it up with a few Trilogy songs and covers like Walking Out On Love they were playing around that time. That was all released when I got into my first relationship and the whole lost/forbidden love theme has resonated with me ever since. Some of the lines - like "I searched the winter for the bride of Frankenstein" and "so turn me loose, but don't call me a loser with dumb tattoos" - hit me in a way I'd kind of forgotten music could. I am so, so grateful (and I don't use that word lightly) I've been able to see these songs live in such intimate settings. My ultimate Green Day dream come true, really. Here's a shameless plug of my write up about it. I also drew some fanart for the first time in years which says a lot about how much I love this album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UNICORN VOMIT Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 I'm guessing when the longshot announce their World tour - kicking off in OZ we will be able to get a physical copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DookieLukie Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Love this album more every day. Favorite thing Billie has done since FBHT. It has so much energy and passion, something recent GD music has seemed to lack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although RevRad is not one of my favourites I believe there is a fair bit of heartfelt lyrics in there not to mention the energy of Bang Bang & Tre's drumming is outstanding.

It's $18.98 and is supposed to be released on July 27, 2018. This actually showed up on Amazon a few days ago, but nobody here seems to have mentioned it yet. So far, it only seems to be on Amazon USA's site. I'm hoping this means we'll get a CD release, too.... I was wondering about any updates on this and I just checked your link and it says "vinyl unavailable", hmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I remember the release date was late July so plenty of time for it to reappear (hopefully). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, as of this post, it's still listed on Amazon's German page here with a release date of July 20, 2018. Do pre-orders sell out? I have no idea. I also checked another US store that did have it listed for pre-order, and it now says "This item is not available at this time." The demand for a physical release (CD, vinyl) is certainly there. Maybe someone else on GDC has more info? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have thought this being a CD that there will be more options of buying so Im going to wait & see how it will be released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shtrudel Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 So I finally decided to listen to the title track after it was on my recommended list on YouTube and boy it's as mediocre as it could be. I wouldn't mind this much if not for the overly edited vocals. If the whole record sounds like this then I won't bother listening to the rest. At least I hope they kick ass live, can't expect anything less than that from Billie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soul Surrender, Cult Hero, Turn Me Loose and Happiness. All good songs! I'd avoid Body Bag and Taxi Driver though *Yawn* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was one of the people who complained about the vocal effects when we first heard a couple of songs but over the whole album you don't notice it, the overall sound is good and fits the style of the songs. And Devil's Kind is the best and the EPs are great too, the album's quite short so I listen to them all together. On the album and EPs there's awesome covers, some 60s type songs from the Beatles style musical Billie wrote for, and loads of fun original songs with classic rock vibes. Haven't been to a show myself but from all the footage and what everyone's said they look amazing, as intimate and energetic as FBHT. I highly recommend The Longshot.

Jirachi Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Bodybag is the only song on the album i really dont like. I dont even know why just whenever i listen to the album "Oh no, Bodybag's next" is on my mind when its coming up xP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't notice any problem with the vocals at all now and they sound perfectly clear. I guess it must just fit seamlessly with the style of the album somehow, whatever effect it is it works for it.
