That's what I do anyway. I have Apple Music now, so I am doing it like that as well, since a few weeks 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So let’s pretend it never happened so we can enjoy the song! lol a happy song with happy lyrics but let's look deep deep deep because I want to find a word to make Billie look like an asshole. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the year most of us have had, feeling like you’ve come through it (mostly, in the US at least) feels euphoric. I had this feeling just going to the park recently you have a whole new appreciation of life. It’s not the time to say life sucks but we’re getting through it. He always manages to put his finger on what people are feeling in this moment right now and this song is no different. Our house is buzzing with talk of concerts, trips and visits. I went to restaurants recently for the first time in over a year. That felt euphoric. I’m excited for summer. It’s like we’ve hit the reset button and are back to appreciating every little thing. That’s what this song is to me. I can tell this song will soon be a number 1 hit for the summer!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about this "trying to make Billie look like an asshole" stuff, but I wouldn't blame people for thinking there's quite a bit of sarcasm in the song, I am still 50/50 on that personally. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little Boy Named Booze Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 At least HCTS was a leftover from FOAM that's why it was so bad. Thank god Pollyanna is good and it's good sign for the next album! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like it sonically too and think it is a big step up from FOAM. I think it is kinda a double-edged sword lyrically, on one-hand talking about things getting better in a literal way but then having some subtext of the fact that there is still a lot wrong in the world that people might be all too willing to ignore now.

Popular Post KGLWW Posted May 18, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 18, 2021 I honestly can't stand either song. Maybe it's produced better than some of father of all but I'd still say I like 90% of father of all over these two songs 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Day should offer pre-listenings to GDC. I bet that they would have featured a shark in the music video if they knew what we hear 😄 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KGLWW Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Something like Oh Yeah is pretty bad but at least it has a more clear message. I get that Father of All is kinda generic but at least I see what they were going for. And it's more rock and roll to me even if having green day sounds with it makes it more generic. You really have to wonder with a lot of these songs since the trilogy whether they're making fun of themselves or making fun of mainstream rock/pop. They are not their best when pushing pop punk sounds too far. That works better for the side projects but not green day 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not everybody likes the same things, he is entitled to his opinion and i am ok with the fact that its entirely possible that i will either agree with it or disagree with it. To say he hates everything is just true. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hates all the well known, pop rock stuff like Green Day. He's very hip. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People watch his reviews before even listening to albums and then regurgitate opinions that aren't theirs - although I guess that's not really his fault 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
