Met Fan Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 That Butch Walker guy seems delusional and arrogant, if this album is doing well in the charts; it is riding solely on the Green Day name. I'm still loving it and blasting it all the time, but reality check says the vast majority of fans and casual listeners think it's shit, which I think is really good for Green Day fans on the long run but that's another topic. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he did a great job with this record and he has all the right to be proud of his work IMHO. I don't see anything delusional or arrogant in anything he posted since the album release. The post he made on Instagram the release day was actually really cool, and showed a deep gratitude on his side towards the band. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Dude Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 This probably happens with new releases by any musician, but I watch youtube a lot more these days, and it seems like a whole new crop music reviewers are trying to kick start their career with the Father of All reviews. Anyway, I love vocal coach reaction videos, and I like this one even more because he seems extremely impressed with presence of the title track! He sees the musical muscle the songs shows, and how tight of a band Green Day. The experts have spoken, Green Day rock! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep seeing posts that say “I love it but I think most people hate it” How can that be if everyone is saying they love it? I think it’s a skewed view of social media posts that are giving this impression but without a poll or something there is no way to tell anecdotally based on social media what “the vast majority of fans think”. Certainly most fans here would rate the album well. Haters can be a loud minority on social media because they get clicks, likes and attention and the more of these you view, the more the algorithms will show you. It confirms your bias and gives you a skewed view of reality. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking something similar, I am seeing quite a lot of good reviews, got to weigh those up against the really negative ones, who knows what he balance is.

It confirms your bias and gives you a skewed view of reality. This, and honestly, also on social media, I see a lot of comments of people disliking it, but then most of them have many replies arguing the opposite. I mean, estimating how this is received by the fanbase through social media is literally impossible. Of course there are negative reactions, more than with records like RevRad. But I don’t think anyone, including the band, expected anything different considering the nature of the record. I am much more (pleasantly) surprised to see a good reception among many professional reviewers and magazines that in the recent past didn’t loose occasion to trash the band’s work. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CherryBombs&Gasoline Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 The user rating on Metacritic is now down to 5.8. So it's either SUPER divisive or Ariana's troll army is still active 😄 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"This is soe of the cleanest and tightest sound I've ever heard from Green Day. It's great to see from a bunch of guys that were just coming into their own when I was still in High School. These guys look like a bunch of dads that 'got the band back together' for their daughters Homecoming dance." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumpelstiltskin2000 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Don't think this one was posted yet: https://www.goldderby.com/article/2020/green-day-father-of-all-reviews-critics/ Green Day ‘Father of All Motherf*ckers’ reviews: Their 13th album is ‘a genuine blast,’ but it’s not about who you think it’s about The veteran punk band Green Day dropped their 13th album “Father of All Motherf*ckers” (or “Father of All…” for the faint of heart) on February 7. Given how much critical and commercial success they received for commenting on the George W. Bush era with “American Idiot” (2004), you might think the title of this collection is a reference to a certain reality host-turned-political figure, but you’d be wrong. So what do critics think of this “startlingly apolitical” effort? As of this writing the album has a MetaCritic score of 69 based on 22 reviews counted thus far: 14 classified as positive, 7 somewhat mixed, and 1 outright negative. It’s their first studio album since “Revolution Radio” almost four years ago, and it’s on par with the critical averages the band has received over the last 15 years: 70 for “21st Century Breakdown” (2009); 67, 68 and 64 for “Uno,” “Dos” and “Tre” (all 2012), and 72 for “Revolution” (2016). “Father of All” is actually a rather short album with 10 tracks spanning just 26 minutes, and it’s “more concerned with youthful angst and romance” than in dissecting our political climate. It’s “the most convincingly carefree” album they’ve released in the 21st century so far, full of “panache” and “refreshingly … unburdened by legacy or accrued stature” after their decades in the business. But while it achieves “raw, frenzied energy” and “instant gratification,” it “can’t help but burn fast.” Some of its hooks “begin to grate after just a few spins” and it lacks “experimentation and interest.” Green Day have won 4 Grammys out of 17 nominations over the course of their career, including Best Rock Album for “American Idiot” and “21st Century Breakdown” and Record of the Year for “Boulevard of Broken Dreams.” But they haven’t been nominated since 2014, when they were up for Best Music Film for “Cuatro.” Will “Father of All” bring them back? Check out some of the reviews below, and join the discussion on this and more with your fellow music fans here in our forums. Phil Mongredien (The Observer): “Their 13th album is startlingly apolitical, more concerned with youthful angst and romance — or, as frontman Billie Joe Armstrong has said, ‘the lifestyle of not giving a f*ck’ … But Green Day deliver everything with such panache that the songs’ limitations don’t really matter, especially when they manage to make tired old tropes seem fresh, as on the swooning brilliance of ‘Take the Money and Crawl’ and ‘Meet Me on the Roof.'” Jon Dolan (Rolling Stone): “The band heard on ‘Father of All Motherf*ckers’ … sounds refreshingly, almost ‘Kerplunk’-ishly, unburdened by legacy or accrued stature. While the album’s title might reasonably describe the current occupant of the White House, Billie Joe Armstrong recently told Rolling Stone that the band specifically set out not to waste their time on a bunch of songs about Trump.” Evan Rytlewski (Pitchfork): “The pop-punk stalwarts resist political commentary in lieu of making the most convincingly carefree Green Day record of the new millennium … It’s a genuine blast hearing Green Day lock-in with music this peppy and spirited, at least for a little while. The album aims for instant gratification and achieves it so efficiently that it can’t help but burn fast … its most eager hooks can begin to grate after just a few spins.” Elisa Bray (The Independent): “There is no denying that ‘Father of All…’ has a raw, frenzied energy, but its onslaught of straight rhythm-chord bashing and hand claps is at the cost of experimentation and interest. ‘Stab You in the Heart’ is straight out of the 1950s’ 12-bar-blues songbook … Zipping along in a mere 26 minutes, ‘Father of All…’ feels like a rush, but not of the adrenaline kind.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael1989 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Butch saying best reviews since AI is a stretch. If he's referring to the metacritic score, everything since has been roughly around the 65-72, so not much difference. The reviews have been mixed from both critics and fans. Rev Rad is probably the best overall reviewed since AI. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rev Rad is probably the best overall reviewed since AI. He’s probably referring to all those (many) reviewers that have been trashing this band for 10 years and now gave very positive ratings to this record. Metacritic also still have to register some really positive reviews like the one from the Guardian, it takes them some time to have a full overview, we should check this in a couple of weeks. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
