Guest Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 My thought is "You are allowed to be a fan and dislike something, you don't have to say "I like it" everytime there's something new, just because you like the band" I personally enjoyed Oh Yeah but I didn't want an album full of songs with this sound. I wouldn't like a rap Green Day song but, for me, this wouldn't made me "less fan" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But people assuming that users liking this record are doing so “only because they like the band” are insulting as much as people calling the other group non-fans. At least the person that did this admitted he was overreacting, not seeing the same on the other part. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't see what's not to like. I mean, at least for fans, I'd say that if you like Green Day there's no reason to dislike FOAM. There's a bit of experimentation, their classic sound, The Rev makes a guest appearance doing vocals in Stab You In The Heart, Billie showing vocal skills we had no idea he had (not too common to happen 30 years into their career). To say something on the negative side, I'm not so sure She's A Rebel needed to appear on yet another GD record, but I can live with that. I honestly can't think of a reason not to like this album. Yes! Can we talk about Billie’s vocals on this album??! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pacejunkie punk Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 13 minutes ago, Billie Joe's Eyelids said: Yes! Can we talk about Billie’s vocals on this album??! Love to. Was just wondering how he got that tone in Meet Me on the Roof. It’s sort of falsetto or just high end range but it sounds so smooth and perfect and kind of different from FOAM so I don’t think it’s the same technique. Anyway I love it, it perfectly suits the soulful motown nature of the song 😍. I’m curious to hear if he goes lower if he sings it live. For some reason he’s able to hit notes in the studio that he doesn’t even attempt on stage sometimes. 3 minutes ago, That Dude said: Bank Robber is one of my favorite songs and I don't hear it.

I do also hear the Clash though because American rock was their influence as well (it’s a bit Bankrobber in the melody and also Rudy Can’t Fail) 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd really love to know specifics of what the guys were listening to while writing and recording. Mike was listening to Lizzo, that's about the only one I know.

That Dude Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 The length is just wrong. It's cool I can hear the whole thing while driving somewhere, but I always seem to arrive during Graffitia, which we have unanimously agreed is THE SONG OF THE CENTURY. Then I have to restart that song the next drive, and I am forever in this loop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Dude Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Can we get a poll of who likes and who doesn't after the official release? We really need to get rid of the haters. If you don't like one note, you gotta go! Haushinka is the only Green Day song anyone can be allowed to be meh about. But nobody had that problem but me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Rumpelstiltskin2000 Posted February 3, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 3, 2020 Review here from RIFF magazine: https://riffmagazine.com/album-reviews/green-day-father-of-all-motherfuckers/ ALBUM REVIEW: Green Day glams up its sound on ‘Father of All Motherfuckers’ Halfway through Bay Area pop-punk heroes Green Day’s 13th album, Father Of All Motherfuckers, frontman Billie Joe Armstrong declares “I was a teenage teenager/ Full of piss and vinegar.” It’s a sentiment that aptly describes the band’s latest release, a no-nonsense amps-to-11 showcase of raw, old-school rock. Looking for a reenergized sound and a new voice in the room, the band enlisted Butch Walker to take the producing helm. Walker, who’s worked with Fall Out Boy, Weezer and Panic At the Disco, has a keen ability at revitalizing a band’s identity and refreshing its sound. Father of All Motherfuckers thrives on immediacy. The record is frenetic, and it’s clear that Billie Joe Armstrong, Tre Cool and Mike Dirnt had some magic as they played down tracks together in one room. It’s vintage riff-based rock with a stadium bombast. The songs play like they were written with the live environment in mind. As Armstrong described the album prior to it’s unveiling, the band channeled glam rock, Motown and soul through the lens of three-chord punk rock. The band also injected the lo-fi energy of its Foxboro Hot Tubs alter ego side project. The title track, which opens the album, packs everything this collection of songs aims to be in a tight 2:30-minute package that spits fire from the opening notes. Armstrong is nearly unrecognizable at first, singing the first verse almost entirely in falsetto. This song, as well as second track “Fire, Ready, Aim,” features fuzz-tone riffs and Armstrong leading with way with his throaty call and response sing-along choruses. In the past, Green Day albums have delved into the political sphere, but Father of All Motherfuckers aims to cut to the more personal and primal urges. The manic nature of the songwriting is purposeful, representing the chaos of the “riot” of culture and society. “Oh Yeah!” harkens back to a sound closer to the band’s more experimental ¡Uno!, ¡Dos!, ¡Tres! trilogy, a glam rock jam built through the rhythms of drummer Tre Cool and bassist Mike Dirnt. “Meet Me On The Roof” taps deeper into the Motown sound to an almost danceable punk rock track. Claps, tambourines, harmonized backing vocals and the return of Armstrong’s falsetto drive this song. Dirnt’s low-end opens “I Was a Teenage Teenager,” a track that recalls an earlier punk Green Day sound. Fans waiting for the band to return to pure punk or pop-punk may have to wait a bit longer, but for those fans there is still much to dig into on this album. “Stab You In The Heart” brings out some of the rawest rock and roll here, mixing in some rockabilly with classic rock overtones. Walker, the producer, even makes a brief appearance providing the backing vocals. “Sugar Youth” is the musical equivalent of a sugar rush, an all-out rocker clocking in at a tight one minute and 54 seconds, with Armstrong declaring “I got the shakes/ And I’m on fire/ I’ve the feeling/ And it’s dangerous.” Midway through the song, Armstrong references “all hell breaking loose,” which is which is the best way to describe the pacing. “Junkies On High” is one of the only mid-tempo moments. The track has a bass-driven half-time swagger that builds into the electric chorus. “Take The Money And Crawl” is another hard rocker that makes no apologies for its in-your-face attitude. It has some of Armstrong’s best guitar playing on the album, which keeps pace with his doubled verse vocal. Closer “Graffitia” mixes everything from riffs to keys and additional vocals by Walker, which wouldn’t have sounded foreign being performed by a young Elton John. There’s a lot to like from Father of All Motherfuckers. It’s lean, raucous and makes as big a mess as it can along the way. 5 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a limited edition for indie stores at least, giving some money to my trusted store doesn’t feel too bad. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
