Popular Post Q-Man Posted February 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 21, 2021 I guess I'm in the minority here but I don't think this is a bad song. Is it a dumb, fun song? Definitely. But I don't think it's bad at all. I think we could all use some fun after this past year. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still can’t believe how lucky we are to have gotten that. I still love these guys 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Q-Man Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Song gives me 21st Century Breakdown mixed with Revolution Radio and FOAM vibe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killjoywhatsername Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 It’s better than Read, Fire, Aim or whatever the hell the song was called but that’s not saying much. after Billie’s solo stuff and the new Network stuff I had higher hopes for this but did keep telling myself it’s tied to the NHL deal so maybe it’s just bad. This... isn’t great. I don’t outright hate it but it’s not what I love about the band. I’m almost afraid to look at this music video. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop being overly dramatic and just watch the video! It's not that serious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheap Escape Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 My initial impression of “Here Comes the Shock” is that it doesn’t do much for me. It may grow on me, or it might not, but indifference is where I’m currently at. I wish I felt differently, but it’s always a delight to hear something new from Green Day.

This better than the network stuff. Stop being overly dramatic and just watch the video! It's not that serious. Lol even when that terrible song came out I messed up the title. My brain goes to Ready Aim Fire but it’s the other way around. Happy to say I just finished the video and I’m gonna be generous and say it’s shit because of Covid but if they pulled that in a pre pandemic world then I’d agree it’s the worse music video I’ve ever seen. also yeah, I’m a Green Day fan and as one I still have the right to say I don’t like this song and I think Foam is the worst album they’ve put out. I still love them and it has like two or three good songs but to me it’s by no means a good album. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DookieLukie Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 I gave it a few listens. It's just so "meh." It's such generic boomer rock. Sick of the "let's dance and party" lyrical themes. Probably won't go back to it much. Thankfully I have the Network album still on repeat and can't get enough. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Great Saiyaman Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Good or bad I'm definitely glad there's some new Green Day. Not crazy about it but I think it's fun. Idk lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Jon Benjamin Posted February 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 21, 2021 I don’t know if it’s been mentioned, but all previous iTunes releases say Reprise Records and this just says Green Day which means it’s self released. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macys Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 (edited) Pathetic. That video makes the song infinitively worse. Lmao guess Green Day is over. Edited February 21, 2021 by Macys 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdlyon Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 I don't really understand having a strong reaction to this song one way or another, it just sounds like a middle of the road b-side. Not especially good or terrible, solid C- 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littleshi Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 if we remove the annoying and repetitive chorus and change the lyrics and we add some arragment and remove others the song could be good, the melody is good 3/10 good night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they're just making the kind of music they like in the moment like they always have. Yes, but now what they want to make is musically a lot more simplistic and worse than what they used to do, which is an unexpected development 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frankoz Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 I hardly listened to FOAM after it came out. This is much better to my ears and heart. Now waiting for more material, joining melody and drive together, and hopefully something innovative in any sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
