pacejunkie punk Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 FOAM is written every bit from the heart as every GD album. Billie said he was writing about how the current social and political climate makes him feel and this is how he feels — depressed, paranoid, apocalyptic, drunken chaos. That’s honesty and I relate. I prefer this album to RevRad for the tempo and consistency. Both are heartfelt, but RevRad is inconsistent. I would have cut Troubled Times and Ordinary World and made a better album. I wouldn’t cut anything from FOAM it’s perfect and hella fun 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It flows really well while RevRad doesn't click just as perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FOAM being a better album than RevRad while there are no songs in FOAM that are better than Revolution Radio, Bang Bang, Still Breathing and Forever Now. RevRad has better individual songs but as an album is not as good as its songs. Or something like that. Idk. Interesting - that's why us old farts still love an album, complete, an album can be a whole different experience from a dozen individual songs, 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seanz25 Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 I'm surprised most of the reviews from the bigger publications generally seem pretty positive, nobody is saying its game-changing but certainly not taking a battering like I felt it would. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNICORN VOMIT Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Spoiler I really like this album - @Chin for a Day sorry bitch babe Also as one of the older people here - I don't know how BJ has done it but i am relating so much to "I was a Teenage Teenager" - its hit me right in the feels. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too Dumb To Die? Somewhere Now? Absolutely miles better better than 80% of this album. But whatever floats your boat 😂 I will never understand the RevRad hate or the insane amount of negative reviews it got. It's my second favorite GD album and had some of their best lyrical content imo. Even with the "we live in troubled times" trope. (which I had no problem with, in fact, I love that song) There's only one song on the album that I don't really like and no, it's not Youngblood or Outlaws hahaha I love both. I'm not saying this to bash FOAM especially because I haven't heard the whole thing yet but RevRad is an unappreciated masterpiece that manages to be uplifting, positive, dark, chaotic, and "in your face" all at the same time. Oxymoronic? Maybe. But I'm pretty sure FOAM won't overtake it in my book even though I'm sure I'm going to enjoy FOAM a lot. 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoff Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 I must say that FOAM sounds really good and I like all of these experiments with piano in background, samples, falsetto etc. But it still has some of these Trilogy sounds. I dont know how to explain that, but after 21CB Billie got these specific way of making his vocal melody which is sometimes annoying. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony Fantano hasn’t put out his video yet, so there’s a chance we can have a negative review😂.

Pretty much agree with his sentiments towards that track, it's definitely one of the worst on the album. Reckon he'll give it a mid tier nothing special type review personally. Equally he may give it a pasting 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit rocky. Then Too Dumb To Die -> Ordinary World is less rocky. The best part of the album is the first 4 tracks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 I gotta say as much as I prefer longer records, this one being so short has is pros, for example being able to listen to the whole thing beginning to end on the way to work and the possibility of it all being played live without taking up too much time. Next one I still hope is much longer though 5 minutes ago, Sheenius said: The middle of the album blows that's the issue I respect your opinion but NO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's because I've personally drew a storyline from the songs on RevRad but to me it had always made sense. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're sort of missing the point if you just think this album is about not caring 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
