It will be a weird YT channel tho. But @That Dude is my friend so I'll suscribe to his channel.

Trying to decide what to focus on.  Music reviews, Green Day.....

Or get super specific? A channel dedicated to the first minute of Too Dumb to Die anyone?

Father of All could be the first Green Day record (and one of very few records altogether) where every song on it charts.  

Highly unlikely. It's a good album but I doubt that this could happen. Especially if we're talking pop charts. Not in this day and age at least.

It will probably be a lot more popular in 2069

Dude:   Hey Charlie Sheen, how do YOU feel about the Green Day song, "Too Dumb to Die"?   Is it your anthem?   

Charlie Sheen:    .......What.....how did you get this interview?  

Dude:    I am too dumb to die.  

Charlie:    ......I'm outta here.   

Dude:  No wait!   Let's talk about Father of All....!!!!!!!

We're gonna know in 8 days what the setlist will look like. I really hope Sugar Youth and Graffitia will be a part of it.

Yes, please. I really hope that the guys will actually play stuff from the album. And by that I mean not just the singles. I'm not the biggest fan of the record, but still, it would be a shame if they treat this whole thing as a legacy act tour where they just play the hits and no new material.

That's really edgy.

I’ll be honest, I don’t like the new album. First time for everything I guess . . .

[Alan86]

When listening to the quiet parts of Graffitia where Billie says "we were all believers", just imagine he says "We were all Beliebers". 

Now you wont be able to unhear it 🤣

 

this the most evil thing I have ever done

[Miko]

The more I listen Stab You In The Heart, the more I fucking love it. Main riff is so fucking cool, solo is beast and that ending is pure eargasm. Definitely my favorite song from Green Day since 2012.

The ending surely is killer but I don't like the laziness of it, reusing something from a few years back. Sure, it wasn't an original riff in the first place, but then it went from Foxboro to Green Day and now it's also back again.

Well like @TJChrobo said, Stab You In The Heart is literally Broke Your Heart by These Paper Bullet.

With different lyrics.

Now that my vinyl finally arrived I spent some time looking at the details of the back cover and it just occured to me how hilarious it actually is, especially in combination with the front. The whole thing is a self-parody, they are playing with every single prejudice and critisism people have against the band: That they are arrogant, rich and ageing rockstars living in their ivory tower drinking expensive champagne and king prawns, desperately trying to stay relevant by playing the cool and wild guys, but they look absolutely ridiculous at it because they have lost every connection to the "real world". Putting a giant unicorn (it really is a giant on that vinyl cover, holy shit) on what seems to be a children's painting of their most iconic album cover is the cherry on the cake. Fight me on it, but I still think that this is a fuck you-record, only in a different way than we initially thought.

i dont think they (or anyone associated) put that much thought into it.

Nope it's a true record and you're gonna need to live with that.

I'm with you. Blanking right now about which interview it was and whether it was recent or from back in September (lol) but they were asked about the cover at one point and Billie definitely described it as one in terms of not doing "another AI" like a lot of people expected them to but instead literally shitting all over it, visually. So the music is genuine I'm 100% sure, but AS a fuck you to those who won't like it because it's not oLd gReEn dAy, they went to troll town with the cover.  

To be fair, I'm sure it's been discussed but looking back at the Longshot and what Billie was into doing then it was a 50/50 chance and really not that surprising they went this way with the record.

That would be consistent for them. Putting a lot of thought or at least intention behind things that many fans/the public view as random or simple. I wouldn't be surprised if you're right. I think there's a lot that's overlooked with this album.
