Popular Post HAPPY ZOMBIE UNICORN Posted September 24, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 24, 2019 I think it would be pretty cool if their plan for the upcoming months is to release one or two non-album singles, maybe taken from those 7 discarded songs, together with an additional album single. That way we would have plenty of music to get to February, but not waste the full album experience. Just thinking out loud, no indication in this sense. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the idea, but wouldn't that mean they'd have to turn in those non-album tracks to Warner? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally all non album tracks automatically belong to the label (there are a few exceptions and some labels care more than others... I don’t know how GD and Warner’s contract is set up) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about stuff they may have recorded alongside the album but in their own studio on separate time? Could they release their self owned music during the same time Warner releases their music? Is there some sort of non-compete rule? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know how GD and Warner’s contract is set up) The way I interpreted the interviews about it was this: that they delivered a 10-track album after deciding which 7 were not going to make the cut. I could be wrong, and that they handef over all 17 for the label to decide on what to do with the b-sides, but it really sounded like they withheld everything they could. So just for the sake of discussion, let's say Warner only has the 10 songs for FOAMF. Would it then come down to the language of the contract? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they can still make a great album but can a 26 minute album really line up with their best? Yes I know it's quality over quantity but that's a really short album length. And I never complained about the trilogy so I can say this lol Yeah I know what you mean and I really hope that Billie‘s hate for long songs is just a phase because the Who-esque anthems have kind of become their signature sound, and they’re SO good at it. But I guess that’s also a reason why they want to do it different this time, and I get it. Short songs can be great, just take Fever Blister which is shorter than 2 minutes, but it kicks so much ass. So... more songs like Fever Blister please 😬 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montclare Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 I was definitely put off at first by the 10 songs, 26 minute news, but I was listening to Goodbye Ellston Avenue yesterday, which is just under 24 minutes, and it didn't feel that short. So maybe there's hope. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post The Grohl Posted September 24, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 24, 2019 Turnstile, a hardcore band that kicks serious ass, has an album that's only 25 minutes and it's stellar, so the length of FOAM never really bothered me. As long as the songs are good, length doesn't matter! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jirachi Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 I think it can hurt a record. An album being so short can make it feel unfulfilling. Kinda like ordering a pizza and you get like 1 bites worth. It may be great and taste great and such, but it doesnt feel filling and just gives you the feeling of "Oh this is getting really g- oh its over...fuck..." There's also the timing thing. Its like waiting 4 years for said pizza only to get a few crumbs or 1 bite, it wont feel worth the wait usually. If this was like a year after their last album, sure. But this is a 4 year wait. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonzalo17 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Maybe the lenght is not true and at final we have a longer album that surprise all of dissapointed fans increasing their sales on february. Maybe is a marketing strategy... Is the first time Billie talks about the lenght of an album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Boy Named Booze Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 I'm sure this album will be awesome. I mean Sum 41 "Order In Decline" have 10 songs and is 36 minutes long. And the album is fucking great ! So in FOAM I guess instead of singing the chorus 4-5 times it will only be twice and then we'll go on to the other song.

But this is a 4 year wait. 3 years and 4 months. And yes, I'm kind of worried about this album not being enough. With 26 minutes and 10 tracks, there's not much room for any song to really do much. 2 1/2 minutes a piece, or somewhere close. If any song is LONGER than that, it cuts other songs done to 1 minute, yike! Now, this is Green Day so they could be the 10 most banging songs ever. We just have to hang tight and see what this sounds like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
