RedundantIdiot Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Why does this week at work so far have to be so freakin slow? Thank god I've got the 3rd anniversary of my 1st GD concert tomorrow so that I can watch the footage from it while I wait for the album. Hurry up Friday! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teenager and graffitia are the only ones that truly stand out. Glad the boys are still releasing music but I still the miss old times. I think this is their weakest album to date weakest album? umm yeah... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emenius Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Pretty damning review of FOAM at the end of this article by Iain Winwood in The Telegraph (UK newspaper); he’s usually a Green Day aficionado, and recently voted American Idiot the number one punk album in the same publication: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/music/0/green-day-punk-years-one-foot-party-foot-grave/ “In the years that have elapsed since the release of their highest-selling album, Green Day have tried various means of placing distance between themselves and their punk rock masterpiece. The most impressive of these was 2009’s ambitious and undervalued 21st Century Breakdown. The least successful arrives on Friday in the shape of the band’s new LP. By a distance of many galaxies, Father Of All Motherf_____s is the band’s worst album. Once the most fluent songwriter of his generation, in 2020 Billie Joe Armstrong appears content to knock out songs that could well have been salvaged from a skip at the back of Jack White’s home studio. “We thought, ‘Let’s make a mess and see where it goes,” he told Kerrang! last year. Save for the superior Junkies On A High, ‘it’ has gone nowhere. But the real problem with the Green Day’s 13th album is that it’s naff. Effortful, contrived, and archly self-conscious, it contains lyrics about teenage life from musicians who are pushing 50. On the front sleeve the word "motherf_____s" is of course obscured. But if the band intend to use this term, they should own it - blacklist from Walmart be damned. Most problematic of all is the curious decision to sample Joan Jett’s 1981 cover version of the Gary Glitter song Do You Wanna Touch Me. As has been proven in a court of law, the answer to this question is no. Getting out in front of any controversy, the band tweeted that ‘since one of the writers on that song is a total asshole, we decided to donate our royalties from [the track Oh Yeah!] to @IJM [International Justice Mission] and @RAINN [Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network]. Green Day’s attempt to be both bad boys and good guys at the same time has rendered me queasy for a fortnight. There is a theory hard at work on internet forums that the 26-minute Father Of All Motherfuckers has been dashed off in a hurry so as to extricate its authors from their contract with Warner Bros. The album’s original title, Songs For Assholes, seems to support this, as do hints from the band that a second LP could follow later this year. But until then, Green Day are what they are, a group that aren’t as good as they once were. Twenty years ago Tre Cool remarked that “watching Billie write a song is the closest thing to magic that you will ever see,” a statement that seems no longer to hold true. But if the band are now free to reclaim their place on the stage of 924 Gilman Street, as they are at liberty to do from the end of the week, then perhaps they’re able, also, to reclaim the heights of their past.” 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killjoywhatsername Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 I am excited for the official release of this thing so I can hear it in better quality. I love Side B a lot though, it's a lot of fun. I think a few years ago when I was still hating on the trilogy I would've hated this album, but since then Dos has become a favorite of mine and this reminds me so much of that. It really does seem like this is what the guys wanted to make and I am happy they feel comfortable doing so. The promotion for this album still feels weird and although I have accepted the unicorn into my life... I still hate the album art. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it ever confirmed that Songs for Assholes was the original title? I thought people were just speculating because of the IG account that has since gone nowhere. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post GDeezy101 Posted February 4, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 4, 2020 Was walking in my local target and asked if they had any Cd’s of Green Day’s new album. The lady straight up walks to the back and grabs a box and let’s me go thru it to see if there were any. Lucky enough I found 3 sitting right there at the bottom. Dont think the lady knew it wasn’t supposed to be sold to customers until Friday, but I’ll talk it😂 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JardyOfSuburbia Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 5 hours ago, Brutalitops said: My biggest problem with Butch Walker albums (let's use FOAM, and Pacific Daydream and Raditude by Weezer as examples) is that when I listen to a song, I almost never get the feeling that the version I am hearing is the best possible version of this song that could have existed is the one I'm listening to. Which is weird because Butch Walker did two of my favorite albums, Brian Fallon's Painkillers and Frank Turner's Positive Songs For Negative People. I love the sound on those records. 49 minutes ago, RedundantIdiot said: Two great FOAM reviews: https://crypticrock.com/green-day-father-of-all-album-review/ https://apnews.com/6351dbdeccade6fae42ce3e1cf2c67f4 The NFL bought FRA?
