Joe Robot - Primarily guitar. No synth featured. Pretty sure the squirky sound is a pedal/FX, but if it's a synth in the mix idc cause it's doubling the guitar anyway.

Transistors Gone Wild - About 50/50

Reto - Primarily Guitar. Synth featured in chorus, doubling guitar part.

Supermodel Robots - Synth featured, adding only melodic content. Guitar adds all harmonic content. I'd argue that makes it primarily guitar, since you wouldn't call Good Riddance "violin based" despite featuring more strings than this features synth, but we'll call it 50/50 to be nice.

Money Money 2020 - Almost entirely guitar. Synth adds ornamentation at the end of bars. Not going to call this 50/50 to be nice.

Spike - About 50/50

Love and Money - Synth is essentially a sound effect. Just goes wooOOooOOooOO in the background, adds no musical information. Otherwise entirely guitar.

Right Hand O Rama - About 50/50

Roshambo - Synth buried deep in mix. Primarily guitar.

Hungry Hungry Models - All synth

X Ray Hamburgers - No synth unless you count the laser gun sound lol

Teenagers From Mars - Synth in chorus. We'll call it 50/50

 

So 8.5 out of 12 songs are guitar based. Which is being generous, since in every song I gave a 50/50 to the guitar is still the primary source of harmonic information.

 

And don't lose sight of the fact that we're talking about this in reference to the leaked song, and you saying it's fake because it's guitar-based. So really the only thing I need to say is that Joe Robot and X Ray Hamburgers exist with no synth at all.

You guys a fuckin nutz

Anyone who said The Ultimate Test is fake has to eat their copy of Money Money 2020.

I never got a copy of it so I’ll just eat some money instead

I don’t know. I like Graffitia but it’s full of unreached potential. It needed more. This song doesn’t.

Totally. When I first heard Graffitia I loved it and thought it would be one of those songs on heavy rotation for me. Sadly none of FOAM has ended up on any of my playlists, or if they have I usually skip them.

The Ultimate Test, on the other hand, I can already tell is going to be on repeat for me for months to come. Like you say, it just sounds like a song that has been fully realised. And that bridge is so damn epic. It almost gives me the same feeling as tracks on AI, not in terms of music style but in terms of how "full" and "big" it feels I guess.

It’s Billie. How does it not sound like him to you?

Just doesn't. Sounds like his singing style but not his voice.

It sounds like either a close Billie impression or Jason. But idk anything, so don't quote me.

i wonder when (if) they announce this officially

a new lp release in january would be close

Maybe they’ll announce it now and take pre-orders for a January release. A concert or single release could happen sooner.

So I just listened to "The Ultimate Test" and it is amazing. It has a really great Green Day sound to it; it sounds more like Green Day than most of what is on FOAM LOL. I doesn't really sound like Billie to me, though it could be Billie trying to not sound like Billie LOL. Not sure yet how to feel about this "Prophecy" thing LOL.
