That Dude Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 18 hours ago, arturprocopio said: Reading so many (extremely) disappointed comments around here keeps me thinking that people want the band to either keep releasing more of the same stuff or change the whole damn world and revolutionize music and whatnot -- nobody has to love everything Green Day does, obviously, but I see a lot of people who feel genuinely hurt or betrayed (maybe by their own selfmade expectations and not much by anything else). Music is supposed to be fun guys 😅 I was just thinking about this while driving around this morning. When a band releases an album that sounds like their old stuff, people complain that they aren't doing anything new. When a band releases an album that sounds different than their old stuff, people complain that they sold out, or are trying too hard to fit in, or whatever. So yeah, I agree with you. Billie disagrees with that "fun" bit, though. He wants you to feel bad. Maybe even hurt or betrayed. I still believe that I'll like every Green Day song for as long as it lasts. I'm 94.54% of a Blink-182 fan. But I'm still at 100% with Green Day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DookieLukie Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 For anyone that hates change and wants a classic Green Day sounding record, see Love is for Losers. Oh yeah, but people complained that it wasn't creative enough. Can't win with you fans, huh? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's basically fuck time with voice filters which also aren't something new, billie has been using filters since american idiot. After getting over the fact we're not getting the 21stcb follow up we deserved I'm kinda optimistic for this album the last days or so idk why. The single does sound better than anything on revrad and the trilogy although that wasn't very hard to top. I wanna hear a second single to have a better opinion on what to expect.

I don't know how it sounds like Fuck Time but okay. I think it's fresh enough with sounds still similar to GD/FBHT. Which is good "different." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post localinsomniac Posted September 21, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 21, 2019 To me it sounds like Stop Drop and Roll. Every time I hear it, I imagine Mother Mary beginning right after. That is a very good thing. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jirachi Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 I don't mind change but I have to feel it's for the right reason and the band still feels the same at its core. Examples of this being done well are Paramore, since it was used to evevate their sound and for the tone of the album at its core, Sleeping with Sirens since the singer does do a bit better imo in a poppier setting and it just fits, and Blink-182 since they found a way to be more poppy but still have the guitars and same core. Bad examples would be stuff like Fall out Boy who genuinely feel like they did it for reasons other than adding on to their core sound or evolving, but to sell more merch and tickets. Green Day changing their style on FOAMF still feels like Green Day at its core to me, so im 100% cool with it. Only real complaint is waiting 4 years for 26 minutes of music. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re the length of the album, quality not quantity and so far I love everything about this era! I actually thought we might be getting a much more 60s vibe to the music and if there is, Billie has made it feel fresh and new. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Hermione Posted September 22, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 22, 2019 Remember the astronomical amount of bitching there's been about the trilogy being too long with too many songs? People still complaining that it should've been one shorter album to this day? This is it, a condensed party style Green Day album! More Green Day is always nice but short albums can work, and it's still 10 songs which is a fairly common amount these days. 10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael1989 Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 I have to admit I'm disappointed by the album length. I'm sure they can still make a great album but can a 26 minute album really line up with their best? Yes I know it's quality over quantity but that's a really short album length. And I never complained about the trilogy so I can say this lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post WhiteTim Posted September 22, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 22, 2019 if you take Insomniac and take off two songs and you got 27 mins if you take Dookie and make it 10 songs you have 24 mins 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1039SweetChildren Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 The length of the album doesn’t bother me, but I’m hoping it’s much better than the single. I’m all for the guys doing whatever makes them happy and playing around with different styles, but the falsetto has to go. It just doesn’t sound good and Billie hardly pulls it off in passing, let alone singing entire freakin verses in it like in FOAMF. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
