Probably everything have a meaning and we can't see it yet I think the meaning is right here in front us. Looking too deep into this, searching for conspiracy theories and various secrets is just gonna make it harder for you Right now we have a fast, funny, straight to the point 26 minutes record, which according to the band interviews is gonna be one of the most innovative and crazy work they’ve recorded so far. There’s more to come soon? Maybe, but this do not contradict the fact that the band is enjoying this material and that this is what they want to put out now And honestly every side project, experimentation, crazy choice they made in the last 15 years goes in this direction, so I don’t see any reason to believe this is a big “trolling attempt”. It’s provocative, which is different. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'm glad there's no Trump song. I feel like if they did that on an album with the same logo as American Idiot it would seem dumb I'm gonna go ahead and say the title track is gonna be the worst song on the album. Maybe it's wishful thinking because that song is such a letdown but I feel it's been a trend lately to release the most "out there" song as the first single and hopefully the rest of the album will sound more like Green Day. Really, as long as the vocals are better on the rest of the album, I think I'll be happy because FOAM had great instrumentals 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I loved when Billie said it's like a history of Rock n Roll. That has very good implications.. I feel like they titled it like this because it's just THAT good it couldn't be called anuthing else. Anybody been offended by the title yet, because it's the present. And ya know....

There’s a lot to unpack here, the new sound and mix combined with a genius track yet again (how do they keep doing this), but the Reprise twist escalated quickly and in my mind makes this the most interesting release yet- never mind the massive tour on top of it. The album cover spells it all out in pretty simple terms. The 26 minute length is no coincidence. I could list about ten other big developments today but it’s fair to say there’s more to come. Welcome back boys, I should have known to expect something like this, yet I didn’t, and I should know better by now. Your posts always keep me optimistic and also remind my why I love Green Day so much. Welcome back! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 I slept on all this info we got yesterday and can say I finally digested it. I feel like this will be somewhat of a cult following release and it seems that it will have songs with high energy that are short and to the point. I really like that and I'm sure there will be a couple songs that I will absolutely love if that's the case. we may be reading too much into their relationship with Warner. It may not be rocky at all they may just want out of that environment. It makes sense as in the modern era these companies are afraid of being lynch mobbed and want to analyze every word that's written prior to a performance. Dave Chappelle touches on this in his new Netflix special. The unicorn is there cause they were forced to provide a censored version of the album and I feel that Green Day's way of fighting that censorship is to sabotage the cover. Also, in general I just think they're in celebration mode. Here's some new music and here's a giant tour! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Misery11 Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 I'm really excited for the album. It sounds super high energy and fun. A nice change of pace from Revolution Radio which I liked but felt like GD running on fumes a bit. Glad to see they still have it in them to be so crazy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't say I think it's highly likely, but it's undeniably a possibility. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karol Oliveira Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 So, I was thinking about the awful art cover and the re-use of AI's iconography... Quote from Kerrang interview: "'[FOAM] It's come from a place of feeling like you're out of control and you're not in charge of your own body anymore', he explains. 'It paints pictures or vignettes of what life is like for me and for other people that, I feel like, are desperate. And I mean that in an empathetic way, where people in America have become very desperate with their situations. There's factories being shut down, gentrification...' Billie Joe ponts to his own upbringing, in Rodeo, California in the '70s, and how his working class parents [...] could afford to house their six children. 'That is an impossible thing to do right now,' the frontmand sighs. 'That's what scares me a little bit more - what's going to happen to people in the future. Millennials trying to buy a home, or to have something that they can call home, because everybody's being kicked out of their homes...' '... because they decided to get educated and they spent the rest of their life in debt, or they broke their arm and didn't have insurance,' adds Mike solemnly. 'There's so many things.'" So, I don't live in the United States, but clearly there are paralles between current times and mid-2000's, when AI was released. First thing being a stupid republican president. But americans enters current decade coming from crisis and recession (2008 crisis). I mean, it kind of resembles 2000's but it is also worse, you know? What if the cover means that? It's kind the AI era but it is worse! (And the unicorn represents milennials, idk 😁). It's like they're saying "we're not gonna even try to write about because we can't". Do I make sense? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Boy Named Booze Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 I can see that the reviews about the first single are very mixed. Some have theories and other are just in denial. All I can say is ENJOY THIS ERA! For the first time in a long time we didn't wait 4 years to have a new song/album. Be happy, enjoy this time of the year and if something is to happen then be it! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
