So it seems confirmed that they are behind the video I hope the next week thing is a typo but I think not unfortunately. I really don’t get this strategy of releasing music video and single separately if the video is ready. I was thinking about this photo, and how the Wolf sauce page said next week, so we could still be getting a Tyla Yaweh video featuring the guys next week maybe.

Verycool99 Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 While I’m all for the boys trying out fresh sounds and experimenting, I personally don’t think these songs are close to as good as most trilogy songs, obviously that’s an unpopular opinion, I’m just glad they’re still making music for us Honestly though their last 3 albums (trilogy as one) have probably been my favourite 3 in order of release Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 They can do no wrong with these singles. Imagine trying to be a weirdo and compare it with their epic classic albums. Let them have fun this music is still amazing, go back to 94 you lames Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vacuum Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 I am personally very disappointed by this album - 3 songs for now, for my personal taste they are very mediocre, but more objectively, I doubt they will do very well in terms of sales. I also personally really dislike their attitude, which I find unnecessarily forced and phony. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if the other songs were not selected to be singles, it is unlikely -but still possible- that they will be better than what has already been released. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve46 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 I am starting to think that they are not knowing what they are doing? This whole thing can‘t be serious. Maybe they are releasing FOAM as planned on February, 7th and then a few days after another album so that Warner gets bad sales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise I don’t understand why (some) people are calling this basic pop, trash, the end of this band or whatsoever, and a similar reaction didn’t not even remotely occur when they released songs like Oh Love and Revolution Radio. Of course IMHO, but these two songs add much less to the grow th and story of the band then what we heard so far from FOAMF. Again I am sorry, I don’t know you well enough and probably this does not apply to you, but there’s a part of this fandom that will never appreciate anything from this band If it’s not another variation of AI or WMUWSE, and this does not emerged only with the release of these three songs. It happens any time a member of the band get close to a “non desired” artist like Billie Eilish, when hip hop is associated to their music (gosh we spend 10 pages discussing the appearance of a rapper in a GD video, and it didn’t even happen in the end), whenever they approach something slightly different from their history (see the blasting of Butch Walker the moment his collaboration was even only rumored, or the release of Dos). Of course, people can dislike this music, gosh it’s not that I like EVERYTHING. You can prefer a different use of music instruments, vocal filters or whatever. But for ffs, it make me laugh my ass off when people declare the “end of this band” because (and I’m paraphrasing) “this is way too pop and shitty kind of pop”, the lyrics are too bad and it’s a fact”, “this cannot give any emotion to anyone” and so on. Please tell what a song like KYE added to the history of this band, or even to the history of music, lol. Everyone is entitled to dislike these songs, the use of electronic music components, falsetto, or whatsoever, but geez, this might be too pop but I bet y’all were loving 21 Guns when it came out. You know, this band is not Pink Floyd and 21CB is not The Wall, and if you think rock music has to be complicated to be good, it might shock you but Green Day has produced pop music since 1994. Someone said something like “it’s not the same, that was Green Day creating their own genre, this is just flatting out on existing pop”. Well, I think that’s absolutely wrong, this is them using existing genres in a smart and unique way as they didn’t do since 2004 to me. I even read people complaining because GD apparently is not allowed to make music similar to FBHT cause that’s a side project. G-E-E-Z. Damn, if this music doesn’t give you any emotion it doesn’t me it doesn’t give any emotion to the rest of the world. You can dislike it ffs, but this elitist gatekeeping attitude that label as a fact its opinion about this record and music in general sometimes is fucking annoying. You make me fucking hope the next 7 songs are a weird mix of new wave, hip hop and foxboro hot tubs. Accept that the band likes stuff you don’t, that they made music you don’t like, and accept that this doesn’t make it automatically bad for everyone else. Sorry for the unrequested rant. I’ll go back to enjoy these songs, which by the way listened in sequence are a total banger ❤️ 3 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post jengd Posted January 17, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 17, 2020 I think what we are seeing is a perfect representation of how very difficult it is when you have had enormous success. Green Day put out Dookie when nobody expected anything and it was huge, so brilliant and so successful. Everything which followed was considered lesser. Green Day put out AI when nobody expected, ok maybe not much as opposed to nothing, but again it was huge, so brilliant so successful. So if you are a professional musician what do you do? How do you keep going? The band members have said repeatedly they will keep moving forward, they will not revisit anything and they do that. So thirty years later, if you still makes music regularly you have to explore new things or you may as well give up and go home. I get that this new stuff is very different, I get some long time fans don’t like it, I get that this may well bring in yet another batch of new fans. I also understand and partly agree that RevRad was, for the main, a fairly standard rock album, albeit with a few gems thrown in. If anything, my worry was this album would be very mature, classic rock type. I really like the vibe of what we have so far, I think the three tracks played in order are more together than individually and I think it all sounds fresh and new, I am eager to hear the rest of the album. I am very, very happy that in these weird and difficult times, GD are still putting out new music which, to me, fits. 7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems that they don't gain respect anymore.. I think there’s a shock in part of the fandom, which is understandable, and I actually respect the band even more for choosing these singles, since they must have been aware of what they were going forward, and since from the interviews/review it’s clear that the record will contain more typical GD songs. That said, I don’t see this concentration of negative reactions in other communities like Reddit and Instagram, and I think this record and the band will gain much more respect and appreciation outside of that part of the fandom hating these songs rather then inside it. I believe the reviews will confirm this, but let’s see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
