Lenny Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 3 hours ago, Nightlife said: The problem is that the newer songs fall flat for me because they feel like a bunch of platitudes lacking passion and personality. Like a rough idea of something but never taken to its full extent. Someone said a while back that Billie seems to have lost the ability to tell the difference between a great song and a terrible one. I agree there are concepts there that are great but something always seems to fall flat in the execution. Whether it's a mixing or mastering issue, a bad recorded performance, poor lyrical content or songwriting and poor decision making. They just seem to lack that intense focus they have shown on their best records. The trilogy records and rev rad have been recorded and written on auto pilot. Of course many things have happened in their personal lives as of late and as much as that helps with songwriting at times it can also hurt the focus around the execution of those songs if you aren't focused 100% on them. The other thing to point out is a possible burnout. 89-96 was constant touring which literally ended with cancelling shows due to exhaustion. A year later Nimrod is out and that gets toured into '98. They're back with Warning in 2000 and they were out touring several times until about 2002. They toured again after American Idiot till the end of '05 and only had a major break after that. I think that length of time between AI and 21cb had created a pressure for them to pump out albums in volume to avoid a large wait time for fans. What if they didn't go through with the Trilogy and waited until 2014 to release the follow up to 21cb? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarlAuerE12thSt Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 I'm a bit confused about the absence of hints rn Does it mean there is something imminent or is it just relaxing before promo kicks of? The last weeks got my so hyped again and now I'm desperate for any new info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacejunkie punk Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 It appears IG deleted gsf13.singles’ first post about the alleged single because a third party reported it as an infringement. Very interesting. The infringement notice was posted as a story so looks legit. Kill Your TV Sep 6 legit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure, if it is someone trolling, he/she could have easily downloaded one of the images you can find googling “instagram content removed third party”. The story also does not show the part of the acknowledgement page where you can see the reported username and profile picture, as well as the report number.

Clockwise Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 I really do hope it's called Songs For Assholes at this point, I've grown so used to the title.
