Beerjeezus Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 I don't care about commercial success tbh. If the album is good, it doesn't matter to me what chart positions it will have and if it sucks, then it doesn't deserve attention anyway. Best option would be good music that doesn't get much mainstream attention & smaller shows to go with the decline in popularity lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Dude Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 What we've gotten so far is all speculation, which is fun and great. It could be partially true, originally true but now changed, etc. We could get something totally different and unexpected. The Alpha ! Produced by the Dave Carlock. Transplants vibes infused into Billie Joe's best writing sensibilities. 14 songs that weave in and out of the current live of Billie Joe, his days as ST. Jimmy and even Whatshername's mourning of their relationship, a side-quel called "Her Side". But that's a small part of this beast, which overall sounds nothing like American Idiot. Guest vocals by Rob Aston, because we all want more rapping in Green Day music. Even so, it's a straight up Rock record. Not punk, not poppy, straight up Rock N Roll. Green album cover.

1039Revolutions Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 If there’s one thing I do believe to be true about the rumours, it’s that this will be a self titled album. I also believe it will be 14 songs, and between 50-60 minutes. About the sound itself, I really hope it’s more mature than RevRad. And by that, I mean less songs about politics, and more songs about love and self reflection.. like Tre and Warning. Lastly, I hope it’s more settled down with more acoustics and string instruments. Obviously the guys can still giver’, but approaching 50, it would just be more fitting to have a more relaxed album with great harmonies and melodies.

Self titled with a bunch of good songs and maybe some slight experimental stuff (experimental for green day that is) would be cool.

Just curious what leads you to believe this? They kind of already did that with the trilogy. Not really, but kind of. It just doesn't seem like them to go so vanilla ad to not come up with a creative album title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking 47 minute runtime, and self titled seems right. Everyone has the idea that doing that is lazy or somehow indicates that an album is bad, but I don't think so. I can think of a bunch of self or untitled records that are fantastic. For a 13th album, it would sort of indicate a rebirth, a starting over. Seems right.

They have worked their asses off to get to where they are and released amazing albums during shifts in what is "in" as far as popularity. However, the charts are not friendly to straight rock music at the present. It's techno/synth, pop, pop/country, pop/rock (more pop than rock), R&B, (c)rap. Promote all you want, but until the shift in what's "popular" happens, it will be difficult. There's not much on the radio these days with real instruments (guitar, drums, bass, ect). It's all computer generated synths, and I hate it. My local rock station (yes only 1 rock station where I live) barely plays new released rock music. It's very frustrating. Although in Butch Walker’s IG video in the studio, you can see a couple synths 4 hours ago, pacejunkie punk said: And despite their age, I do think they can still have mainstream success and chart hits because look at how young their fanbase is and it grows all the time. They’re not your typical aging rock band with fans as old as they are exclusively. Same thing with The Beatles today, their music is timeless!!! 5 hours ago, DadBod said: This is true.

Not sure if any of you guys live in the NYC area but on the local alternative station, ALT 92.3, they play the usual Green Day songs like, Basket Case, Welcome to Paradise, When I Come Around, Brain Stew, Good Riddance (Time of Your Life), American Idiot, Holiday, Boulevard of Broken Dreams, Wake Me Up When September Ends, and 21 Guns. But for some reason, they haven’t played Bang Bang or Still Breathing yet. Maybe I should start requesting it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Tre (2nd fave album) and Warning, but RevRad, the album and especially when they played half of it live, was sooo good. I don't know what 'mature' would mean at this point, but re-watching live performances of Bang Bang and Revolution Radio is always a huge for the angry punk rock energy and Billie's vocals that are more 'mature' (and sexy) than ever. I don't see them getting more 'relaxed' overall (apart from the softer ballads they have always made in a small percentage of their songs, and will surely continue to) before one more decade (that would be approaching their 60's). Even when they will be in their 50's, I think they'll still have a fair lot of energy. I don't think Billie has been a ball of energy at each of The Longshot shows as if to enjoy the last moments he would still be able to, but on the contrary to warm up for a long tour of wild and loose energy like RevRad was. With an album to promote that would be as wild to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I can promise you anything, this new record won't sound anything like Dookie. If Green Day was capable of making another Dookie, they would have done so by now. Their lives are in totally different places now than they were back in 93. Now that doesn't mean the new album won't be good, I always find myself happily surprised with their new music, but you have to go into it with an open mind! I suggest you listen to Uno, Dos, Tre, and Revolution Radio (and "Back in the USA" off their new greatest hits album) to get an idea of the sound Green Day has been building over the past few years. I've listened to revolution radio. I just mean I hope it doesn't go like to fall out boy's straight pop music lol I really like stray heart from dos if I remember correctly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don’t appear to be Tre’s brand of drums tho. For the record I don’t think that necessarily rules it out, different producer wanting a different drum sound, or pushing Tre out of his comfort zone. That being said there isn’t a clear enough link to assume they’re his, so they probably aren’t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
