Just switched tabs and listened to the song. This is very subpar. I know these boys can do better. The Network paid you to say that. We get it. But you really should check out the video, it's amaze balls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not just talking to you but can people please stop saying FOAM is bad like everyone thinks that? It's really annoying. We get it you don't like Queens of the Stone Age or Jack White or other various garage bands. I mean really you can say green day became more of commercial entity when they started sounding like other bands. And that started with American Idiot. Granted there are some things in there that are clever and somewhat original but really they started sounding more and more like other bands between AI and FOAM. I think there are some songs between that time that are a lot more original than others and that's all we should really ask for at this point. The only way the identity crisis can be fixed is with going indie, that's why the side projects are more consistent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely this is nothing like what the next record will sound like. I think there are some bad lyrics in there last few albums but I don't think it's as consistently bad as people make it out to be. If Money Money pt 2 was better and some of the other side projects were fine, it definitely means they can still make better lyrics. A lot of time if it changes it can be because they don't necessarily want to repeat themselves. It just hasn't been the absolute right time for them to do something real serious. It's not just the label or other factors mentioned 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be that I also expect more from the foo fighters. Other than a few songs in the last few albums, I haven't liked much of their new stuff. But none of those bands can hold a candle to the Network. All hail the Network 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freezing Melons Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Yea I enjoyed both the Foos and Weezer album. Plus Weezer's video for "All My Favourite Songs" is fantastic. Probably the best video I've seen from Weezer (and Foos&Green Day for that matter) in years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DookieLukie Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Even if people have disliked a lot of the newer Weezer albums, I give them credit for trying to create distinct projects and sounds and keep it fresh. All of their albums sound distinct. Green Day keeps just rehashing the "100% uncut rock" thing and they clearly can't satisfy that itch. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GRNSTR10 Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 I have a hunch this song was written last summer and the lyrics are about the George Floyd protests and riots. I think they’ve been written in a non-specific way to suit the NHL mass comercial audience in the same way Fire, Ready, Aim was about internet trolling. I give them props for trying to sneak a message in given the corporate demands. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacejunkie punk Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Song is on Spotify now in the US. Listening there. The end is a bit of a jam but then they had to ruin it with the coke snorting which is still really annoying with headphones. It stops the momentum in its tracks. Likewise I’m not a fan of the “damage will be done” thing they definitely shouldn’t have done it twice. I’m trying to find something positive to say about it after so many listens and I guess the best thing about it is the melody maybe has a Misfits vibe in the choruses? Kinda? That’s not bad.

He recycles words and phrases often for sure, but show me another song of theirs that has this many whole lines taken from their other songs (and not an obvious rewrite like Jerry Falwell’s Pool Party) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
