Christian's Inferno! Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 I think some of my earlier comments make it seem like I hate the track. I really don't. It's disappointing but it's still quite good. The new song has made me appreciate the chorus of FOAMF though because that's the best thing we've heard from this new era so far, imo. This song is still ok though and has a catchy chorus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P.S - I really do think that this album was made in just 2 months or something. And that, it’s just a “Fukc you Warner! We’re saving the best for next year” vibe album. I really hope this is correct with the "saving the best for next year" mind set. This is the only explanation that makes sense in my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JardyOfSuburbia Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Someone at work came up to me today and told me how they thought the new song was awesome and how great it sounded. He's in his mid-50s and not a Green Day fan at all, so take that for what it's worth. Also, as a sports video editor, this song is perfect to use for hype videos. 40 minutes ago, Clayish said: I doubt they're going to release another song off the album since it's only 26 minutes / 10 tracks, so it's going to be these two songs for the next 4 months until the album finally comes out? Yeesh. I don't know. Bands today tend to release 3-4 songs before the album is even out. Wouldn't be surprised if we get two more songs before the album is out.

The instruments and beats are fine, but a Billie's voice is so great normally and now its this weird falsetto that makes the songs sound foreign Omg stop staying that. He dont use falsetto here.

Otis Big Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 The song works, that’s all. Green Day structure with no solo in the middle. “Baby got the hyperbole” is a cool line and fun to sing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platypus2000 Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Once the dust settles it’ll be fine I’m sure. Still a few haters but it won’t be as bad as everyone is making out. I learnt it on guitar and kind of enjoy it more, just 2 minutes of chord thrashing makes you feel different about it, depends on the perspective I guess.

Ross_19 Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 I would second the comment from a couple pages back about listening to it through good speakers. I've listened to it each time through my new high resolution headphones and it sounds great. There's so much going on in the background that you likely wouldn't hear through normal or shitty speakers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But after 3 years of waiting, we get is this. It’s a little frustrating. If this album would’ve come a year later, it would’ve been good. It’s just. It’s not an easy task to wait and it’s equally frustrating, when you realise that it wasn’t worth it. Sure it’s a good song. It’s catchy. It’s gonna do much more on commercial level.

They’ve been pumping out music on a regular basis for donkeys years and they were bound to hit a bad egg at some point. I honestly think people put them on a pedestal far above what they are actually capable of tbh, AI, Nimrod, 21st CB 2.0 wasn’t happening so I don’t get it. 26 minutes of music is a bit annoying but I believe we’ll have music sooner after this cycle to be honest.

Billie was filming, the guys were around a table drinking beers and there was some white powder on the table which I didn't even notice at first, but several people thought it was cocaine. I'm not a connoisseur, so but I didn't keep a screenshot of that. However I don't care if it was coke or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What i was expecting wasn’t this, obviously. I was hoping for some quality lyrics. RR was good. The two songs that they have put, they’re good instrument wise. All my life I’ve been running from this and I thought Green Day are not like those pop stars or rappers who live for glam, then this album drops and makes me question the very basis of my liking towards Green Day. I am not saying that I don’t love them now. They’re still my favourite childhood band. I don’t care about the side projects if they loose control over the main thing. All i am saying is, the song is good, but not something that I’d like to wait for 3 years. Opinions differ, I guess that’s the only thing that makes us human Well yes, i too hope that the next album would be an improvement over this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedundantIdiot Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Like FOAM, I didn't know how to feel about this song on 1st listen, but I want to get up and dance to both of them now (if you can call it dancing ).

This is one of the major aspects behind Green Day's success over the years. They're great musicians but there is a great simplicity in the writing. Anyone with a guitar can pick it up, live out the song and feel it as they play along. It's really no different than your friend's dad playing Wish You Were Here at the campfire on a long weekend 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The “You’re a liar” bit in the verses has some sort of “Hives” vibe, but that’s it to me. It clearly takes a lot of inspiration from classic garage rock bands like kinks, the troggs and sonics, as the Hives, white stripes and FBHT songs do as well, so I think it’s normal that it reminds people about that. But yeah, if I have to find a direct source of inspiration I would go a bit more back in time. I think @pacejunkie punk is on point hearing Elvis Costello influences as well.

solongfromthestars Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 This is the influence I hear, at least in the piano parts. Makes sense since Billie has been hanging out with Kevin so much, even if it's not Prima Donna but their influences. I guess that's what Billie means by "glam" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
