I agree with @Eric that it's one of their best album covers, for this reason. I like lots of the others for various different reasons but they haven't done something ironic like that with a cover before. It's really bold, surprising and interesting. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doggins Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 I just donated what I would've paid for FOAMF to GDC This'll be the first physical album I've not bought of GDs 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashback Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 2 hours ago, Beyza said: https://www.uaudio.fr/namm/ Thank you so much! For everbody who is interested: they talk about the production of FOAM from 4h16m to 4h49m and also introduce the mixing and mastering engineers. Appearantly Butch did not have that much influence on the style of the record as we thought. Btw really interesting that Butch played and added some instruments on his own as well (like this small guitar „solo“ during the chorus of FOAM) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had no idea Tchad Blake was the mixer for this record, and so many insights on how the production and recording process worked. So, so cool. And that isolated bass track made me high. Love it. I’m looking at this as an outsider to the music industry, but from what Butch explained about the overall process and how the collaboration between each of the production components worked, I really respect and appreciate his method of work and philosophy. It sounds like it has been a genuine and fun process, and it confirms how the artistic direction was chosen and chased by the band. I am even more hyped for the record now The interview with Butch starts at 4:09:50. Yeah I respect everything butch did now. I respected him before but not certain aspects that I thought were him. I love the way his mix sounded though. It was really interesting to hear the semi mixed sounds compared to the final. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannygreen Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 The Namm video is awesome! Fabrice Dupont (The interviewer) is a pure genius. Love the concepts and ideas they expressed. We're talking about a top level here. It's very well explained that "that sound" is not obtained by mistake but obviously a precise artist request. It's a bit technical on some parts maybe some people won't understand but for us of the field it's awesome. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beyza Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Pre-mixed sample of FOA (with less clapping) sounds really good like the one in live performances 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post grinsoniko Posted January 20, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 20, 2020 Like with the songs, the album cover was not easy to understand at first for me, seemed odd they’d use the AI cover and fuck with it like they did. But little by little it starts making sense too, like someone mentioned before, it shows that they want us to know that this wont sound or be like what we are expecting, and thats exactly what males it punk rock as fuck! I think people are just setting themselves up for disappointment and disrespectful believing this is a troll album just cause they cant accept this new sound or not like it. I just find it veeeery unlikely for a band like GD to take such a childish route and say oh here fuck you Warner, and then put out that epic AI record some people are expecting when they are independent. What if they stay with Warner after all? Lol 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway I think you can really appreciate the value of the mixing and mastering process when you compare this to the final version. This does sound good, but the final product it’s of course at the next level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it’s just the raw version to understand fundamentals of the song. It’s definitely my favorite out of the three btw. Although I love the album version, live version gives me pleasure more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if they stay with Warner after all? Lol Not proud of it, but I am one of those people who had a hard time to accept the different sound that is coming off of the new songs. But it took me some time and a couple (a lot) of listens to break through that annoying voice that kept saying "This is not Green Day" in my head. I really loved the NAMM interview and insight on the recording process. It shows how much thought and great decisions were made to get to the end result of the record. I realize now how bold it is, for a band that has been around for 30 years, to completely change the game and step away from everything they got used to when it comes to recording a record. Not sure if it is a big risk, but they definitely chose not to take the usual road to try something completely different. And there are so many layers in the three songs that they have released so far. I mean, I keep discovering new sounds in Fire, Ready, Aim which actually make it very fun to listen to. Same goes for FOA and OY. It took me time to embrace and love the direction they took and the sound they went for with this album, and I just hate it that it took me some time. Because I was kind of getting tired of the same old trick (RevRad was not a bad album but far from being fresh) but apparently I'm having a hard time to accept change. But I'm glad that they are taking a different approach. This album will hopefully be a wonderful piece of art. Can't wait to hear the rest of it. 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pacejunkie punk Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 I gave the interview it’s own thread so it doesn’t get buried. It’s so good it needs to be highlighted. @Hermione do you think you should move some of the discussion here over to that one?

I completely understand what you are saying and while I came round quickly, I was pretty shocked at first hearing of FOAM but I do get that it’s very different. You should be glad you saw through those initial feelings, listening to your favourite band can be like putting on an old sweater and you expect to know what’s coming. They have worked outside of their comfort zone so I guess some of us need to get out of ours to embrace this new music, or not, it’s a free world. I realised a long time ago to always expect the unexpected from GD and I admire them hugely for it. I prefer when it’s new music to a coffee company though 😂😂 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Grohl Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 22 hours ago, Beerjeezus said: I agree but I wouldn't say FOAM is a big improvement in the lyrics department. All three songs are solid, there are no bmx-cellent tits moments, but maybe with an exception of some lines in OY, they're Billie's standard writing. What's good is that they're all consistent, but I wouldn't say they stand out. I haven't seen this written out, so I almost spit out my coffee when I saw it I like Troublemaker, but yeah....the lyrics are pretty bad. 22 hours ago, That Dude said: I hope we get some new fans.

The Grohl Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Just now, That Dude said: There are people that like that new Blink record? Ew. There are people who have said "Wow, California is Blink's best record." They've even said it with Nine, which that record is not bad. That's their opinion and it's fine. It's cool that they liked the new stuff whereas I couldn't. But it sends shockwaves through me as someone who loves Untitled. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it sends shockwaves through me as someone who loves Untitled. As a non-Blink fan who only likes maybe 5 of their songs, I didn't think California was as horrendous as the st. anger situation that a lot of people seem to be making it out to be Bored to Death is a pretty good song imo personally what with the way the modern music industry perpetuates popularity and the illusion of genre (because more artists are starting to cross genres, but many people don't realize that because of labeling), I don't think there are going to be very many people who only like FOAM and none of the other albums. I think it's gonna be a good album in all, but the average mainstream music listener would likely still mentally write GD off as an alternative edgy band haha And sorry to be that person, but, that's perfectly fine with me!

nohamxx Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Glad to see that some people begin to change their mind : Butch has done a good job with Green Day, FOAM isn’t gonna to be bad, the three songs are awesome this album will be in the top 3/4 of many’s of us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
