Me too! original 70's glam rock is too often forgotten 

80's gave glam a bad name. 

I definitely hear elements of that in these songs. Really good catch and comparison on that.

i’m glad he reused the fuck time riff. i said before it’s a great song instrumentally i just don’t understand how a 40 year old could write those lyrics on drugs or off drugs.

I've been hearing this argument time and time again and how is so "cringey" that older musicians write about these kind of stuff.

So we can't write about stuff that we are not longer doing even though we did experience it?

Like they haven't been rockstars in the 90's....

Calling it "the Fuck Time riff" is making Fuck Time sound original.  LOL  Though the melody in Fuck Time seems to be a bit more original than this... Stab You entirely rips off Hippy Hippy Shakes to a degree where I'm amazed they even recorded it like this. It's been a while since they've been sued though, so......

I know exactly what you're saying, I thought the same thing. Im sure it's been used in heaps more songs though, but I cant be bothered finding them

We studied this exact same progression in high school but this was 23 years ago so I cant remember now

It depends how anxious you are to hear them.

Definitely do it, man.  The quality is perfectly listenable and there's nothing wrong in doing so if you're gonna buy the album, buy merch or going to gig anyways.

I am genuinely surprised that this album is getting so much praise. Is it because y'all expectations were so low?

I don't mean to be a hater, I just prefer Green Day sounding like Green Day. I loved the Longshot release, I think this would've been more suited to that - or another side project. 

Its not like I want a Dookie v2 or anything (well actually, an Insomniac 2 would be great thanks if you're reading this boys)

In my opinion FOAM is pretty average (or slightly above it) but honestly compared to a lot of stuff on the radio these days, this is pretty damn good in my opinion. 

I think it's best to think of it as an extension to the trilogy with better production.

[pouty bitch]

Meet Me on the Roof is groovy as fuck from start to finish, I love it even more the more I listen to it. There's something so satisfying about going from a decent but fairly chilled song like Oh Yeah, straight into the party vibe of MMOTR. It never fails to lift my mood.

Okay so Green Day didn't just rip off themselves they ripped off "Hippy Hippy Shakes." You happy now?

And Jail House Rock.. but still a good song! 

[Train27]

This album is insane. I give them so much credit for “killing it” and having fun! I just want to say that if anyone hates this album then, fuck you, you’re not a Green Day fan (sorry, but not sorry) they changed their sound a LITTLE BIT for the greater good. I will always love them, and this album proves that for me.

I bet people in 2004 said the exact same thing when American Idiot didn't sound like Dookie.

Just because someone doesn't like an album doesn't mean they're not a real fan. There's tons of bands i like where i dont like a particular album they made and im still fans of them.

Ranking this album.    This will be painful...

FOAM beats my bottom five, so it's at least my 8th favorite record.   And as fantastic as it is, there's no way it will overtake my top three picks.  Those three are forever.  

Which means it's got to do battle with Revolution Radio, Dookie, Tre and Uno.    

It beats Tre and Uno - "barely scraping by."

So it's down to Dookie and Revolution Radio.   Hmmm.  Those two are near-ties.  

At this moment in time, I'm going to say Father of All... will probably sit at my.....

Number Six Spot.   Not sure if this one could topple Dookie, but I do feel it's material is stronger than the Trilogy.  Anyone have this EXACT same lineup?    

 

1.American Idiot

2.Warning

3.Nimrod

4.Revolution Radio

5.Dookie

6.Tre

7.Uno

8.Dos

9.21st Century Breakdown

10.Insomniac

11.1039 Smoothed

12.Kerplunk

[Redundantuserjinxboy]

FOA- 7.5/10

FRA- 6.5/10

Oh Yeah- 5/10

MMOTR- 7/10

IWATT- 5.5/10

SYITH- 8/10

Sugar Youth- 8.5/10

JOAH- 6/10

TTMAC- 8/10

Graffitia- 8/10

overall I'm thinking like 7 to 7.5 outta 10. The highs are awesome, the lows are just meh nothing to bad

[Stefano Bras]

This is such an album made for theater.

Woohoo, finally unlocked my account.  It's been a long time since I've been on this site, but what a better way to get back into with new music that's way different than their previous work.  And to still hear Green Day within it is just pure awesomesauce.

You

I bet some people hated it when they changed their name from Sweet Children and made the second song that sounded different from the first.   

Lol.
