I was a teenage teenager was described as an “anthem” sounding song in the Playboy interview, add to this the 3:45 length and I am very intrigued :P 

Yeah the interviewer described it as a hymn 😂
Agree. It feels like it's one of that hit song when you were a teenager

possible "Oh Yeah" lyrics:  

eating bratwurst and acting like a brat

Chicken Pot Pie in my skinny belly

dogs barking, ozzy howling at moon

if I see you again it'll be too soon

Lemonade ain't no valentine, **** you

Oh Yeah, Oh Yeah, Oh Yeah x 487 times

Dogs licking bones rolling over

dogs licking bones oh yeah

fragile lives on the rictor scale oh baby 

oh love, oh girl - that's right!  oh yeah! 

oh yeah

oh yeah

oh yeah

HMV have previewed the album in their list of rock/metal albums of 2020:

"Four years after 2016’s Revolution Radio, the veteran pop-punks are back with a new studio album and a change in direction for their 13th career LP.

Recorded with Fall Out Boy/Frank Turner knob-twiddler Butch Walker, the band’s frontman Billie Joe Armstrong has talked up a new soulful and Motown in the record, still drenched in the band’s frenzied chaotic guitars.

As you can hear on the album’s title-track, they’ve lost none of their youthful lustre..."

Sounds more like a promo thing for the band. They have no details that we don't already have. I'm waiting for the first listen for the press and see what they say from there. 

Would like to get some insight prior to listening. The mystery of what 80% of the record is just kills me.

Wow I seemed to have missed this. Really glad to hear that. It's the JOS of the new album divided by 3.

I don't want to hear anyone else's grievances before listening, positive reviews are welcome. Priming works ;)

lol the press reviews won't be positive or negative. They're usually more informative about what you can expect from the album as a whole and may touch upon some things that may be different about specific tracks. 

What I want to know is which one of these is the classic GD song that fits right into their setlist. Every album has that one song and the great ones have multiple.

Is this one of those things where you guys are making shit up again?

At least there’s no long songs, so they have to limit they’re creativity. Imagine this applied to a 9 minutes song, I would spend my days scrolling down thread pages :P

I only saw actual reviews with ratings when it actually was out. Uno received mixed reviews falling more on the positive side. Uno didn't do any better or worse than Rev Rad except for sales it actually did better. Rev Rad being viewed as a better album by the fan base is mostly based on user scores. Rev Rad scored significantly higher by fans. Critics and sales stated otherwise. 

As for the trilogy Dos would have been a well received rock record if they trimmed out a song or two and nightlife. It was never going to be critically acclaimed or anything like that. Maybe a shorter 10 track record that was fast and loud would have done it more justice. Would have been easier to digest. Songs like nightlife and fuck time just take the edge right off it. What ends up happening is the bad becomes more memorable than the good. 

As for Tre,  that's still personally my least favourite Green Day record of all time.  It just drags and has no charm. There are some well written songs but if you were to strip away the bad moments you're left with an EP not an LP. If Tre's tracklist was Rev Rad and Dos was a shorter record then the trilogy would have been a better moment. Still wouldn't have been their best but you're following up 21cb with a back to basics effort. 

Also which companies were reviewing it? The problem these days with rock reviews is you have pop outlets trashing it because alternative music as a genre outperforms the pop genre in streams and overall sales. Typically if a pop music fan gets educated and goes down that road they never come back. To brainwash them to make them believe this is something from the past that grandpas listen to is the only way pop music can keep it's fanbase because it has no substance as an actual product or creative output. The other problem is outlets like Rolling Stone and Kerrang are so biased towards it that they're giving out A+ to every rock record to exist after 2004.

Is this a fact? Do you have stats to back it up? Just curious.

RR was much better received by the music critics. On Metacritic it has an average of 72 against Uno’s 67. And you think it’s not a big difference, 21CB has “only” 70.

I don’t really think so, in the case of GD specifically I think music critics are kinder today than in 2004. I mean, Rolling stone gave 3,5 stars to AI and 4 to RR. Either because good rock music is a rare species these days, or maybe because the band is now an established act, I feel like critics are kinder then fans nowadays :D

Yes Spotify sent out this report at the end of 2012 for streams. 

As for record sales I think that's shifted back and forth and pop has now outsold rock but most of them are digital downloads. Rock still dominates physical releases. If you look at Rev Rad I don't believe Green Day was at the top that week for sales but they do mention it was the most physical copies of an album sold during that period. 

If you look at Diamond albums though and were only to count albums that sold over 10 million copies you'll see a different story. You'll see rock artists dominate the majority of diamond certified albums. More than 20 million Michael Jackson is really the only person that wouldn't qualify as a rock artist of some kind however, funny enough Van Halen plays guitar on a track on the album so even that has rock elements to it.

Ozzy has a new record coming out next month too and now that he’s had this crossover hit with Post Malone I’m curious to see how it does. The song Ordinary Man came out and he sings it with Elton John and the lyrics are so rock star relatable I think Billie Joe will love it. It’s the kind of stuff I’d like to see Billie write more about (he touches on a bit in FOAM) which is fame and his crazy life and how the hell is he still alive. A lot of career rock stars are expressing this thought these days, he’s not alone.

The first part is nonsense and the second part is some snobby attitude to other music genres.

First part is backed by legitimate streaming reports. Spotify collects data. The data was issued and there are more people streaming alternative forms of music than pop music. The reason why it may appear to be nonsense is cause the pop community listens to the same handful of artists while alternative music forms have such a wider range of bands, movements and eras so it's spread across a wider range of artists. 

 

For the second part I'm not sure which part you're referring to as snobby? The behaviour of pop culture advocates or my view on how they behave?
