EmmaCharlatan&Saints Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 To be fair theres like only 3 reviews on there that clearly come from Grande fans....the rest seem genuine regardless if they are positive or negative. So like it would be really pointless to annoy these ''fans'' any further by doing the same thing back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Green Day? Cool I'm on a fan site with people who like them too. I never understood why people on YouTube go to see a Green Day music video but are there to trash them. Maybe they really love them but can't come to terms with it? As for me and user reviews I'd only review what's on my radar and have listened to in full. I'm not gonna go give Ariana Grande a 0, I still have no clue who the fuck she is. THANK YOU. I will never understand people who willingly go to videos, sites, etc for something they have zero interest in just to shit all over it. Do you really have so little going on in your life that you leave dumb comments for things you don't like? What would I get out of going to a Taylor Swift video and saying "lawl she sux." Nothing. I wouldn't even waste my time because I don't listen to her music. I've never understood this mentality. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah ok. Ya that is pretty suspicious if they appeared within a certain timeframe alright. But ya chances are these are mainly pre teens or teens who are just fiercely ''protective'' of their favourite artist.

Sixtrix Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 I ordered the cd and haven’t received it yet either. I think the package is being kept hostage somewhere? Or making a detour through Japan? I e-mailed the store but they just replied with the link to follow the shipment, which I already have. Just a few more days and I am getting really pissed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep messaging them. Their customer service sucks, so you gotta stay on them. In my experience, they never even read the initial message properly. I remember asking questions and they'd send me a stock response never addressing my question. I had to email them again to get an actual answer form them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Father of All...is textbook Green Day with different vocals. FRA is an easy-A GD song, albeit not good. I Was a Teenage Teenager is a classic Green Day chorus. Stab You in the Heart uses the same riff as 2 previous GD songs, and the melody is very GD. Sugar Youth is classic GD riff, verse, and chorus with vocal effects. Take the Money and Crawl is a classic Green Day chorus and verse. Graffitia is straight off of 21CB or RevRad even in terms of melody. This album is a base of Green Day with little changes throughout and maybe 2 songs that sound a bit out of their zone. I guess I do agree with your points here - you're very correct about the melodies and choruses. It's very simple and very Green Day in that aspect. it's more or less the sound they're tackling that I don't think suits/sounds like them. They're going for that sound that everyone was doing *except* them in the early 2000s - and I just don't think they do it well enough to justify a record of it. That being said, since I wrote that post, I do like the album a little more now. I'm sure it'll grow on me! Didn't like RevRad at first either - love it now!

It's hard for me to rate newer GD albums cause I haven't tested them against time. First 5 listens I'm on a high cause it's finally out and obviously highly anticipated. Then 2 years later I'm on a low cause I overplayed it and starting to anticipate what's happening next. When I was younger I would always show off Kerplunk to people and be like this kinda shows what type of songwriting was about to come. Now I view Kerplunk as the beginning of the best trilogy Green Day has Kerplunk-Dookie-Insomniac. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumpelstiltskin2000 Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Green Day’s “Father of All…” Fumbles https://fordhamram.com/74400/culture/green-days-father-of-all-fumbles/ I thought that Green Day was going to continue the momentum of their “Revolution Radio” album heading into the new decade. However, the difference between what I expected versus what I actually received was disappointing. Green Day’s newest outing left me ambivalent. The maxim that one should never judge a book by its cover is hard to follow. With “Father of All…” Green Day lazily recycled the album cover from “American Idiot,” sloppily added a stripped down version of their logo and added a disorienting unicorn that looks like it was drawn by a preschooler. My first impression was that Green Day got lazy with the album, and it shows with the quality of their songs. Clocking in at approximately 26 minutes, the punk veterans do nothing to contribute to the legacy they have built from the ’90s into the 2000s and the new decade. Almost every song concludes at about two or three minutes, enough time to make some listeners beg for a track to be over while leaving others wanting more. “Father of All…” opens with a track named after the album. Upon listening to the song, it became apparent that this would not be the Green Day album fans have become accustomed to, but rather something new. Green Day takes a risk here with distorted vocals and almost pop-like tunes which would make anyone want to dance in a frenzy. The sound is almost classic, and it works here for Green Day, as they execute the sound well. It was a risk for the band, and it paid dividends because it is catchy. However, not all risks on this album result in rewards. “Fire, Ready, Aim” sounds sloppily constructed, as the riffs are uninspired, uncoordinated and messy. Green Day is known for sounding messy, but this form of messy lacks the energy it is known for. What truly ruined this song for me were the cringe inducing, autotuned background vocals which make lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong sound like a squeaky-voiced teenager. Green Day is still a young band, and even at 47, Armstrong hasn’t aged a bit. However, here and in songs like “Meet Me on The Roof” and “Graffitia,” it comes across as if Green Day is trying to be young. Anyone who listens to Green Day should know that this isn’t something the band consciously needs to endeavor, as they already succeed at sounding timeless. Between the exasperating background vocals, lethargic playing on songs like “Junkies on a High,” and overall teen pop sound, Green Day sounds less like a band of 21st century rebels, and more like music industry sell-outs. However, things get complicated, because the album has moments where it does shine. What is disappointing is how those moments seem fleeting. Arguably the best song on the album is “Sugar Youth.” Formulaically, it has everything that made Green Day appealing to its fanbase: rapid-fire riffs, thundering drums and Armstrong proclaiming, “I don’t wanna be a Romeo.” It sounds aggressive and messy with the energy Green Day is known for, and maybe even anti-hero-esque. They sound like rebels, and that is where the band excels. They are in their element when they play with this style, and it will make listeners want to jump for joy to see that Green Day has not lost that energy. The track “I Was a Teenage Teenager” excels in the same caliber, as what starts off with a disconcerting bass riff evolves into string-tearing shredding by Armstong and Mike Dirnt. The song sounds like something right out of “American Idiot,” and fans are sure to love it. Tracks “Oh Yeah!” and “Stab You in the Heart” are an especially interesting dichotomy of sounds. “Oh Yeah!” embraces the sound of modern rock/alternative with effective results, while “Stab You in The Heart” takes a page out of the rock n’ roll playbook of the ’60s with cheesy guitar riffs galore. Nevertheless, it is catchy and ultimately fun to listen to. In sum, Green Day fumbles with maintaining their fidelity and trying something new. Some of their risks benefit the album, but not enough of them benefit their legacy as a band. However, one thing is clear: Green Day has not lost the energy of what makes them so fun to listen to. After listening to “Father of All…” it’s unclear where the band plans to go from here. Let’s just hope they don’t make like the ninth track on their album and “Take the Money and Crawl.” Local CD pick: 'Father Of All...' Green Day https://eu.sctimes.com/story/entertainment/2020/02/12/local-cd-pick-father-all-green-day/4715573002/ Green Day has released some standout albums in their 34 years, from "Dookie" to "American Idiot." The band's 13th studio album "Father of All..." is a bit of a reinvention of the band. A band who has been very political over their previous few releases goes in an exact opposite direction this time. No politics, no rock operas, just a simplistic rock approach. The whole album is a throwback 2000s alternative, like the White Stripes and the Hives with some 1960's flair and arena anthems. Coincidentally, the band signed a two-year contract with the NHL. Whether you like the recent approach, there's not a lot of effort needed to take in this 26-minute offering, so there's that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
