Maybe it sounds better I am waiting for the rest of the album and I do hope it will be better. But they've already shattered any hopes and expectations I had (and I barely had any) with that first single and everything associated with it, and I was actually excited for that, despite how often I criticized them 3 minutes ago, Platypus2000 said: Is there any way to block you on here?

Since when has Billie Joe Armstrong ever been afraid to get political? Tbh I think they wanted to put out a super political album (MOOTIK) but some Warner exec told them they couldn't, so they took some punchy rock songs they had lying around and turned it in FOAMF. Perhaps they plan to release MOOTIK (if it exists) once they've been freed from their Warner contract. I assume that the other album is already done or close to it, since Billie said "might release another album next year," because otherwise, with the tour starting in Asia in March, that wouldn't leave them much time to start and finish a whole other album. That would make sense in the fact that they had to apparently go back in the studio to put some more work into the album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stories and songs Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 I feel like some people are finding this theory more offensive than it is intended to be. For me, this isn’t about not liking the new single. I actually am really enjoying it! I think it’s just the fact that there WERE very interesting leaks, paired with the fact that there are already some odd choices about this rollout – the album art defacing AI, the shortness of the album, the rather unhinged manifesto. I certainly am not questioning the band’s integrity here. I’m sure this album took plenty of time and effort and is something they’re proud of. At the same time, there are many clues that there’s more happening here than we’ve been told. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I said in the original thread a few days ago that I wouldn’t be surprised if mootik was a discarded version of the greatest hits as that’s actually the meaning of the title. I really dig the new single tbf This song has to be 4 minutes long at least, and if you read the press text, it doenst really sound like this song would fit this record.

W Axl Rose Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 I can't see GD releasing an album of what they'd consider not up to their standards songs just to fuck WB because it's fucking the fans too who are paying $25 for a 25 minute vinyl. Unless they plan on releasing the album after that on their own for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddie86 Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 I do think green day has something up their sleeves for another recording already, but I still think this Magnum opus thing is a hoax. Their contract with Warner is over, so if this opus album was recorded and rejected by Warner then I don't think green day would be able to release it without Warner's permission since they paid for the recording session (this is a big assumption though, maybe white Tim could offer some input on that) Green Day could have songs written for the next album already, and since this one isn't out until February and since they aren't touring before that, it does give them time to record another album, or at least an EP, especially if they don't have to deal with a label to release it. I'm looking at it this way... You ever put your 2 weeks notice in at a job? As soon as you know you're going to leave your attitude changes, you don't care if you get fired but you still show up and maybe even have a little more fun than you used to, you don't take things as seriously but you do still want to get paid, and that's kinda how I'm looking at this green day album. I don't think they're exactly phoning it in, I just think they're having a little fun before they leave. I think the next stuff will be a little more serious. I think it would be a huge misstep to not release something more serious with a huge election coming up next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can just not pre-order it, you can listen to it on spotify for free, you can pirate it until you decide it's up to your standards and pay money for a download or a physical record. Or not... it's entirely up to you and in the end it's less in Green Day's hands how much you'll be fucked, but in your own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm well aware I have to do nothing but pay taxes and die .I was more reacting to people saying that this is a throwaway album for GD to end their WB contract and that the better songs are being saved for a later release.

W_FInkThePlatypusHunter Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Theory: Green Day’s MOOIK was fully written and ready to go. Warner said no because it’s political content(the political climate has changed a lot in 16 years)in fear of stirring up political controversy towards their brand and label. Green Day went back to the studio and made the least political album they could while also pulling out all the stops on any last things they wanted to do on the major label. Honestly the lyrical content of this first single makes RevRad look like AI in comparison. This is going to be an interesting chapter in Green Day’s history to say the least.

I don't know how much major labels are usually involved in the process, but Green Day did say that they didn't tell anyone, not even the label, that they were recording until it was done, so maybe Warner took issue with that afterwards and tried to make a fuss which is why they're on bad terms now? Maybe I'm reading too much into it though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
