Jrem Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 I love weird unique creative songs so I think this was a great direction for Green Day to go. 13 albums in I think it's great to really switch it up. I'm sure people who don't like this song will like some of the other songs on the album. You can't use one different song as a reason to think Billie Joe has gone mad or that Green Day has fallen off. Give the rest of the album a chance or maybe give it some time and this song will grow on you. Just be happy Green Day is back and rocking out again and not just sitting around at home. They don't owe music to anyone and at the end of the day but they do it because they love it and that makes me happy as a fan. My first listen I didn't know how to feel about but now I've truly fallen in love with this track. It seriously rocks and I can't wait to hear more songs from them.

I love the last lyric. I found that so true and I love the high vocal approach it shows how much vocal capability he has I was like oh damn Billie!

Sixtrix Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 So last night I gave a friend a listen to Father Of All Motherfuckers. This guy thought RevRad was kind of a blend album, much of the same and not really a fresh sound. He heard the first 20 seconds of the song and said “wow! This I gotta check out!” I noticed that a lot of people, who were not a big fan of Green Day’s last few albums, are really digging the new single.

It would sound weird otherwise. But personally I dig the falsetto with the filter. 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael1989 Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 I don't think a GD song has ever grown on me as much as this one. Ok it only came out 2 days ago, but I seriously did not like it at all on the first few listens and couldn't imagine myself ever liking it. About 13 listens later and I'm definitely seeing the appeal. I even don't mind the voice now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HAPPY ZOMBIE UNICORN Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 I’m starting to relate much more with the lyrics as well. They might seem very straight forward, but at the same time I love them, this part especially, it’s starting to give me a feeling of excitable paranoia if I try to relate to it: Huh-uh, come on, honey Huh-uh, count your money Huh-uh, what's so funny? There's a riot living inside of us I got paranoia, baby And it's so hysterical Crackin' up under the pressure Looking for a miracle It works. It’s actually pretty dark, and this is starting to giving me an AI (song) lyrics vibe. They are very different lyrics and songs, but they are both about reacting to a state of hysteria/paranoia. This is at least how I am starting to interpret it. Here there’s no mention of television dreams or alien nations, in AI the reaction is a message, in FOAMF the reaction is everything that surrounds the lyrics, the music and the fuck off atmosphere of it. I am enjoying this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s like they are trying to fix that music with a better produced, short album of similar but better written songs. Between this and the iHeart Festival they really should call this the Redemption Tour 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between this and the iHeart Festival they really should call this the Redemption Tour 😄 Yes, but I think it’s a bit reductive to just compare it to the Trilogy. I mean yes, it’s much closer to that than to RevRad (this song at least), but the Trilogy was something taking a lot from Foxboro, especially in the Dos part which is the closest to FOAMF. And in the meanwhile we had the Longshot, which I think gave a hint of this sound coming back from Billie. Just to say that I think there’s a “maturation” of many previous GD experimentation in this song, and I would not exclude that something musically closer to an AI sound end up being on the final record.

Billie Joes Eyelids Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 So especially after watching this performance, I am more and more in love with this song. And I have to admit, I am really into the vibe and look the band has right now, much more than Rev Rad. And l I feel kind of guilty about that because Billie seems like he’s playing with fire. But he has his sexiness and snarl back, and Mike is exuding a bad-ass aura. One thing I’m worried about though....is this hurting their legacy? So many people want older bands to just act their age. They can get by with it more than most because Billie still looks so young. But even Mike is starting to finally look his age, Tre definitely does, and Jason W for sure. Add to that the fact that many people are taken aback by how this doesn’t sound like them, at least GD fans, and it’s kind of gotten a reputation online and in reviews as being a “bad” song and therefore they’ve lost it. On the other hand, a lot of people who aren’t hard core GD fans love this song, and it’s catchier and more accessible than some songs they’ve released in the past, so it may do well? Jury still out on that. In other words, I really can’t tell at this point if this single is hurting or helping them. I think some of it depends on how the video is received and whether it is played enough on the radio for people to start buying into its catchiness.

Which reviews? I didn’t see any review yet, except two wannabe YouTubers but I would not really consider that stuff Anyway I think it would have been smarter to put out a video with the song, would have helped some fans to relate to it as the Kimmel’s video is doing. I think and hope when it will come out it will make its work. The song is reaching a wider audience in these hours, no need to worry too much I believe.
