21stcenturyidiot Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 This song kinda slaps. I’m loving it. It’s not the best Green Day song or the best single but it sounds really good. Everyone is going on about auto tune and effects, but listen to the live version, it’s just Billie and *some* effects sure. It’s a bit like the verses for Christian’s Inferno or the chorus break in holiday. People saying this is the worst song clearly don’t remember Nightlife, because fuck that is a bad song.

Nah, not when songs like Me, London Boy, I Forgot That You Existed, Paper Rings and You Need To Calm Down exist. I'll rather have FOAM, at least it's pushing their catalogue a little bit instead of retreading into the same tired clichés and narratives she has used since 2014, except for like 3 songs. There are much better pop albums in this year that could have made this point, Carly Rae Jepsen herself being one. And i'm not surprised about Fantano's review. I've always respected the dude's opinions even when i don't agree with him, but i feel he kinda missed the point here, even though i see his point of view. The song is intended to be trashy, and i think the vocal filters and production add to that effect, although I would have appreciated if the production was a little dirtier, like The Longshot demos. Sometimes a banger is just a banger, it doesn't have to be that deep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Day are all about getting out of your comfort zone and not caring about being cringy. That's the statement they're making with the album cover and presumably the album. Honestly if it gets under the skin of people who only want them to be a certain way it's so much the better. Nah Maybe you're right, but I'm a fan a very long time, I like every album they released. I don't liked the new single... not because I wanted they do the same. I think it's a bad song at all, not only for me, but for they...musically.

GuitarPunk94 Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 the new single is on repeat i really enjoyed the trilogy, and i still enjoy listening to DOS, so i am totally okay with the sound of FOAM, ofc its not an epic rock-opera thing, but it sounds rough BUT even after 50, 100, 200 listens ... i am totally not okay with this vocal effects, i just dont get why they did this without vocal effects this song would be a good 8.5/10 , but the way billie sounds, its sadly more like a 7/10 for me for the moment first overall reaction of my friends when i showed them the new single "its not bad" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can assure you that Autotune on that song is 0 percent. Everyone mistakes it for Melodyne which is a standard for the record marketing nowadays and just helps your pitch because a singer with a totally perfect pitch still hasn't been born The disturbing thing is the filter bypassing low frequencies and enhancing middle highs (telephone with distortion) that alters his voice. It was a good addition in bridges and in some parts in AI but now It's really disturbing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomdsjames Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 I didn't know what to make of it when I first heard it because it wasn't what I was expecting at all but it's really grown on me with repeat listens. I actually love that they have experimented instead of playing it safe. I loved (and still do) revrad but on reflection it was just playing it safe. Father of All is the biggest change in sound since AI without losing the 'Green Day' sound and it's got me pretty hyped to hear the full album. Also, it's grown on me faster than Know Your Enemy did. I got into Green Day during the AI era so hyped myself up too much for the follow up and HATED KYE when it came out but ended up loving the full album. I'm excited to hear more 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure it won't be played on the radio here at all. Green Day is rarely on the radio anyway and this song is not different from the typical mainstream radio music that I'm sure they won't play it. Can't say I'm unhappy about it though.

Ross_19 Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 damn that chorus is awesome... I feel like dancing whenever it transitions into the "coommee on honneeyy" bit. Sure I would love Billie to sound normal but the way his voice sounds adds to what the song is... fun, energetic and a blast of GD punk bangerness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think in this discussion though we'd all agree that all the lead singles in question are all post American idiot ones lol I disagree about KYE though that was a very good lead single to kick off 21cb and was a good peak into what the album was going to be. It was just difficult being in the shadow of American Idiot. With this new lead single we're still not really sure what we're getting but I agree there's an energy to it that excites me. Oh Love definitely lacked that so I'll give you that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a good addition in bridges and in some parts in AI but now It's really disturbing. This might be a hot take, but I actually really like the fact that Billie uses the voice filters more obviously now, as he doesn't see them as a polishing tool as he used to, but rather as an artistic tool than can enhance his vision in a song. So many artists now use autotune or vocaloid as a means to increase the hollowness or depth of a particular emotion, as it was done so famously by Imogen Heap in "Hide and Seek", or to further a narrative or inner voice, like Frank Ocean in Nikes. That's the reason why I like Body Bag by The Longshot so much, his use of filters in that song really highlight the comfort and settlement of the character in the monotony of his life, which is contrasted in an almost unsettling way by the heavy guitars and the muddy production. I really hope he continues to use this kind of devices to push his boundaries and make even more interesting music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DookieLukie Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 @WhiteTim check her lyrical credits and read the song wiki pages. To be fair, she wrote more songs on Lover than her past 3 albums. But alkost all of her past 4 albums have had co-writers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deleteduser7593 Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Friends, the last song Billie Joe recorded without ''filters'' was Macy's Day Parade, haha... He clearly said tons of times the he's enjoying his voice tru guitar amps. I think it's more about the falsetto, that's what bothers someone, not filters, wich now he uses since forever. There's some reverb and double tracking here and there, but it's they way he sings giving ''that'' vibe someone disliked, and I understand. PS: I love Taylor Swift, bought all of her albums 'till 1989. I ''left'' her with Reputation and all those egocentic themes. I prefer her ''old'' boring lyrics about bad boyfriends, funny and catch, at least, compared to the ''case'' she opened with that record. They bedtreated me blablabla. You're rich. Don't complain. It's MUSICCCCCC! She's a good singer and songwriter, if you enjoy her style: If no, she may sound a lot repetitive: love love love 😛 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but lyrics and music go together. Point is she doesn't write alone. Also I remember her saying that Max Martin came up with the "We Are Never..." lyrics in an interview for Red.
