Father of All Motherfuckers album - News and Media Coverage

[dannygreen]

Revrad was a good album imho but some songs weren't as good as others.

Outlaws for instance is a good idea but turned out as a strange experiment in the end.

Somewhere now is good but I don't know, something doesn't work for me. It's like didn't have a spark.

Also, some like troubled times (that I consider a very good song) I think came out a bit repetitive and deserved something more in the arrangement.

I think,  and I know a lot of people will disagree but for me Still Breathing was the highest peak of the album. For some sounded too poppy but I beg to differ.

Humble, sincere and inspired lyrics. Billie showing all his singing range like never before. Also innovation (side chained synth on the background) but still classic.

Am I the only one who didn't notice the synth? I'm so deaf it's not even funny

You can hear it clearly during the pause from chorus and second verse

It's a bit low in the mix but you can hear it

Couldn't agree more. It's even one of my favorite GD songs ever - I also have a very personal connection to it because it helped me to recover after a difficult time in my own life. I love the music video so much too, it kills me😭 Along with Forever Now ("My name is Billie and I'm freaking out"), I think Still Breathing has some of the most personal and honest lyrics Billie has ever written. It's like he allowed us to have a look deep into his soul without playing the cool tough guy and without hiding behind metaphors. He has never been more vulnerable and - at the same time - stronger for me. I was so proud of him when the song was released. That's what I loved so much about the RevRad era, it felt so honest and genuine and 100% them. Ah I miss RevRad times...

Yeah for sure but with that said how would Rev Rad not even make a top 50 list? The funny thing is one of the lists actually mentions Green Day in a little monologue yet proceeds to list out the albums with Rev Rad not making the list 😂

What hurt me more was that Black Sabbath 13 didn't make the list either. I don't care if they lean more to smaller acts and actually somewhat prefer that but come on! 

On a positive side The Interrupters made one of the lists and I agree with that. 

Yeah that's just a hell of an oversight. And seriously? Black Sabbths 13 wasn't included? That album was a huge deal! And it was pretty damn good! It just shows what the big press and media think about rock music I guess, which is really a shame.

Exactly, Rev Rad was a good rock record. I think the problem is that it sits in the shadow of AI and 21cb. When comparing to other GD records maybe it falls a bit flat but vs other rock records it's a decent album which produced a top 5 rock single of the decade in "Bang Bang". Of course that is subjective but how many songs do you hear on the radio with a higher bpm? 

Still Breathing showed that they can still craft those fusion contemporary hits that they've been so good at making since AI. Billie's vocals on it are great as well. I thought Troubled Times should have been the last single. The song seemed to get a bit of traction with it's lyrics video. 

For Outlaws I actually don't mind the song at all. There's something about it that's different than other GD songs. I like the space left for Billie's vocals in the verses. It sounds really cool when listening to it on vinyl. It's got that effect like Ghost Band by Rancid. If you listen digitally it doesn't sound as great as when listening to the vinyl.

It could be the "they're so big they don't need any more advertisement" routine. It sucks cause for old dudes they really rocked on that one. Rush however, was first on the list and their album Clockwork Angels was really awesome so there's another positive note. Especially for a band like Rush that never really strayed into the pop side of things it's a huge accomplishment for them. 

I got to meet them a year or two before that album dropped. Really awesome and humble guys. Alex Lifeson was a riot backstage.

Never listened to Outlaws on vinyl. I will surely do it. Thanks for the hint!

As for Bang Bang, I think it's a very good song, I also like the lyrics. They are not so easy to interpret but very effective.

The only thing I dislike is the mix (my bad). I saw it on a site explained by Scheps. His wit is not up for debate but I don't think the whole-digital process fits this genre of music. I hear it cold to my ears, not as warm as their other records

Troubled times is very good song, maybe I would demand something more on the arrangement due to my own taste but I love the way Billie sings:"we live in troubled times" because I believe him and He gives me chills everytime with this statement. This is my major problem with Fra and Foam: for me to connect with the lyrics is hard and I got a feeling like he's not 100% sincere with the listener but It's only my thing, everyone lives music differently.

It looks like the back side of the vinyl will be a photo from Madonna Inn

I think the third song is the one we don’t know the title of yet. Looks like a 5-6 letters word from the pic, so I would exclude Christmas time of the year

I wonder when they’ll reveal the full track list. Less than 2 months away, shouldn’t we already know it by now?

Definitely weird!

[Miko]

These 2 tracks are already better than anything on RevRad so I'm positive. Hopefully we get one or two songs that are like ''Take Back'' and one normal 3min Green Day song

So exciting it means we’re getting close! Now if they would only release another single...

To throw something - not conspiracy theory related - in:

The Japanese CD version will contain "Bang Bang" (Live at the Whisky A Go Go) as a bonus track

Including Bang Bang immediately makes it a better album

Which two songs are they? I must have missed them because I thought they only released FOAM and FRA

Best new live song and they know it. Why do the Japanese releases always get cool bonus tracks?

I heard that records are more expensive in Japan for some reason so they tend to throw in something extra for Japan... idk if that's true

I’m wondering if we’ll eventually get a deluxe editition with the 7 bonus tracks! We know 17 songs were recorded

Highly doubt that we'd get all 7. Maybe 2 or 3

If only they would do real deluxe editions. They rarely do, and at times it’s been limited to iTunes exclusives and not on Spotify. I wish the 21CB bonus tracks were on Spotify.
