maryjanewhatsername Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 I'm not sure how I feel about it - it's really great but the vocals trips me out. I'm so excited! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerjeezus Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 I'm not worred about this being serious because if they indeed were going completely bonkers it would show more. Billie seems quite composed for a person who just wrote a high rev-style shitpost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t he say during Rev rad that they had lost their “fun ness” and that he missed that side of Green Day? My problem with that is I kind of feel that's what we've gotten from 2012 onward. They're obviously allowed to do what they want as a band, but Dookie was a breakout success because it was a breath of fresh air in the genre of 90's punk-pop (whatever you want to call it) and combined really cool instrument work with amazing lyrics that were relateable to everyone in some way or another. I'd argue AI and 21stCB (namely AI) were more breakout albums that helped define this generation of fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's controlled chaos, so the fans can definitely tell but people looking in from the outside won't know Check his twitter ramblings, the album cover, the fact that the new LP is only 26 mins long apparently, it doesn't add up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerjeezus Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Listened again and you know what? I really dig this including the vocals. The falsettos sound awesome and the effects give it a nice different vibe, someone said it's like Blur and idk maybe I could think of something a little more fitting but I love how gritty it sounds. This could be a bubblegum song and it's not so good job on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ready1 Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 GD will always be my all time fave rock band but without being able to hear BJ's real voice it just doesnt feel like its a real GD song. REMOVE THE FILTERS. I will stick to listening to Nightlife in the meantime😋 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He obviously forced himself, but in a good way. He has those B, A, A, B chords riffs in his DNA. But he's smart enough to know that he can't sing the same melody pattern over them. So it's cool. The overall recording is also non-Green Day, even if you can tell it's them playing. But it's not disturbing at all. I only hope they don't go too far from what they are. At the end of the day, I think that who loves Green Day, just want Green Day and nothing more. Fall Out Boy, a band I totally adore, ended up losing themselves, because of the ''evolution'' mantra. Sometimes it's better to stay yourself, Insomniac is the greatest example. Like Revolution Radio, after trilogy disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KGLWW Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 It's amusing to me that almost anything done by the band that really sounds different is bashed by people. It's not pop at all. Like the most popular trilogy album was uno even tho imo it was the worst. It sounded like another shenanigans. Dos and Tre were up and down but they hadn't done anything like brutal love and the forgotten before and this new track is continuing the experiments on dos like stray heart and lady cobra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redundantuserjinxboy Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 First listen I hated it because it sounded like the white stripes or some poppy rock band you'd hear on the radio and change immediately. After about 5 listens I find myself liking it. You gotta get used to the vocals, but once you do that and accept that- Yes this is actually BJA, it's good. The drumming is honestly pretty great here. Baseline is alright, better than most off of RevRad. The last chorus goes a little easy on the vocal filters and you can clearly hear BJA singing. The riff is nice and catchy too. The lyrics are kinda meeeh. It's like the trilogy again except.. less crass? Some say this is a song about Warner. That makes things better and feel more inspired but as it stands they are just sorta meh. The vocal filters are a huge turn off too. So overall im thinking 6.5/10. If this wasn't green day this would probably be a 8 but hearing BJA with all those filters just irritates me tbh. With that said I love the energy and the garage (pop) rock feel, and I'm still excited for the album I'm just baffled by the album cover and the message by BJA on green day .com. As others are thinking, they might just be trying to get this out of the way real fast so they can move on because this doesn't feel.... genuine I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Revolution Radio, after trilogy disaster. Yeah, he did something cool and different with the vocals and for once the filters worked out even though I'm usually not a fan. It's a good mix of Dos and and a fresher more modern vocal sound. Not too much of an experiment, but it's a new sound, while it's still very gd. I listened to some FOB just to see if I'm hating on them for a good reason and...I can't say I mind what they're doing. I don't want to see them live but to each their own. It's not bad for their genre. After listening to this new green day song I'm not worried they're going this same route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DookieLukie Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 I think once I got over the shock of "DIFFERENT EEEEK" I do really like the song. It's fun and cool and sounds good. My only complaint would be the mixing. Why do Weezer's songs sound so balanced and clear and GD's recent stuff so jumbled (i.e. vocals hard to hear over instrumental). I miss Nimrod or even AI level production. Overall, still not digging the use of AI on the artwork, but the shock is wearing off. Wish the album was longer, but oh well.

Fall Out Boy started with pop punk, then mixed it more and more with a Michael Jackson-Prince kind of thing, 'cause their singer, Patrick Stump, is a sucker for them. But to me they've gone too far. They changed and... I don't even know what they sound like. I recognise them for lyrics and vocals only, these days. But I still check their live shows for older songs. I've had all their albums, just stopped from MANIA and on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my opinion, but the worst thing that can happen if for a long-standing band to slip into complacency and sounding boring/the same on every album. I am so glad GD hasn’t fallen into this rut. They have completely taken me by surprise with all of this and to me that’s a very good sign of a band that’s still hungry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
