How is it not relevant to FOAMF which has an influence in other genres of music such as rap and motown which is not traditionally present on other alternative or punk records? 1 hour ago, Clockwise said: Get a grip. This thread has really fallen off the deep end. So... Anyone find the stream yet? The deep end is the whole stream and leak that doesn't exist lol The self righteous posts attempting to be "on topic" when all they do is spin everyone in a circle is getting old man. Talk about actual stuff like influences, producers, songwriting and what we could possibly expect. Oh Yeah that's right no one actually cares to be that on topic anymore here. Only time we're on topic is to trash the album we've only heard 20% of. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was no longer comparing it to FOAM, just arguing how they view it. That is where it has gotten off topic. Along with all the "This thread is a hot mess" comments. No issue if you keep the connection to FOAM but is was losing that connection as it dragged on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be filled out if the album leaks or when it is officially released. Lyrics that show up on pages before we heard the song are typically just click bait.

It was a general warning/ gentle reminder to keep FOAM in the conversation, and keep it from becoming a long winded debate about if GDCer's music tastes are legit while not actually tying back into FOAM at all. If you are already doing that, you had nothing to worry about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Dude Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 I wonder who else worked on the album. We know that Green Day, Butch Walker and Chris Dugan worked on the album, but what about musicians? From 1039 to Insomniac, the music was made by Billie+Mike+Al/Tre From Nimrod and onward, there have always been additional musicians. Weather it be one guy playing a non-audible trumpet or 5 individuals making up a very nice atmosphere on Warning, there hasn't been a 'pure' Billie/Mike/Tre album in 25 years! Could Father of All be the return to that basic studio set up? Or will somebody else be in there, fiddling or trumpeting, or pianoing. Butch Walker could be adding vocals or guitars, but I don't think so . We will find out soon. very. very. soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far it seems like a return to basics, but their influences they have mentioned makes me wonder if they brought anyone else in. I will be curious to head the whole album, right now it hasn't been anything special to me. Just kinda gets lost in the music collection. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I miss the old GD days where people would actually break this down into a whole other level of thought. Now you just get "this is stupid". Way to use your brains to explain your opinion on a controversial topic guys! FOAMF is perfect for these people very simple and to the point! Know Your Audience! I don't think FOAMF is a money grab though. Hella Mega is more the bullseye for money grab. I say that positively though. They put what they believe is high value and they raised the price based on that. For me there's not really any added value except for the fact they sound really great live right now.

It wouldn't be practical for the newer songs (post AI) because a lot of the songs were composed knowing they had these resources available to them. It's not impossible to strip it down because of how Billie writes music but I don't think it's something they'd explore. 40 minutes ago, 21st_century_gloria said: we need a leak, or everything's destined to slide "off topic" again For me there's more fun in the speculating and what ifs. I find on this forum now once the song drops it's just a huge tally of "I like it" or "I dont like it" and all the participants keep jumping back and forth between the two lmao I get it though being a fan of this band is such an in depth thing and they have so many songs and eras and albums. That's what keeps it easy being a fan. There's something in the discography for every moment of your life. New music can be shocking as well cause it's something we haven't heard them do before. I'd be lying to say I wasn't shocked when i first heard FOAMF. The confusion and shock warranted a couple more listens to digest it. Before going into listening to the album we need to remember that this fan base is way too large to be able to make everyone happy or even the majority happy. It's evident in our trilogy tracklists. I hardly ever see the same people pick the same group of songs if they had to condense it to a 14-18 song album. For me that's the most interesting part about the effort. They're going to proceed either with doing what they feel like doing or moving in a direction that may be best for the band at the present time and in the future. For me I'm going into this album excited to hear that. What I love is that all the sings are track 1-3. Hearing those songs again when first spinning the vinyl is going to build up that excitement for Track 4 and the rest of the album. I don't care about opinions of people on here, billboard positions, first week sales or streaming numbers. I want to go into it with a state of no opinions or expectations and take it in. I want it to be personal without the influences of external factors. 38 minutes ago, pouty bitch said: Every time somebody mentions "Oh Yeah", I just end up getting this shit stuck in my head, and then I'm like: Bulletproof Backpack 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yeah, I had to listen to FOAM about 30 times before i ended up really liking it. Then I played the shit out of it on piano! I think as we all see in the history of this thread I have a very unique way of viewing these things. There's definitely a thing I WANT the band to do but it's not tied to my expectations. I understand in an artistic process what I want as an individual doesn't matter. What the majority of the fanbase wants may or may not matter depending on the artist. I think Green Day has a healthy balance of doing what they want to do artistically and giving people what they want to hear. Billie's thought process on the Green Day filter validates that. My expectation for Green Day is based on energy. When they're healthy and firing on all cylinders they have an energy level that can rarely be matched by another group. The first time I was going out to see them live in 2009 one of the people in my network (a 7x platinum artist) called me and let the me know that this was the case. I've witnessed it for myself on several occasions now. Green Day is known for that energy in the industry. I hear a real good pace and energy in these new songs so I'll enjoy it. May not be my favourite effort ever but it's new and fresh and not an LP i've spun 1000 times already. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
