lizziebix Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 I’ve not been feeling my love for GD lately but this has certainly revived it. I like it a lot. Can’t wait to get off work to listen to it a bunch more. (had to take a break and walk around the block for my first listen!) 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luketrebilliemike Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 I dig it, It has meaningful lyrics. However I just wish there was climax, feeling like it needed a lift in the middle or something 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenalert997x Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Generic, simplistic, no punch in the chorus, in that stead a cliche melodie ('share your bread with friends...'), Billies vocal filtered again. Just a happy, pop-rock song to be forgotten in a while. I can't see the point to put out a new song, which is just a reminder of the tour and it's a total filler in their catalogue. They said a lot of times that they don't wan't to record stuff they once did, like returning to Dookie or Insomniac sound or to compose another rock opera. Actually, every band, every musician have the same attitude, not to record the same stuff over and over again. EDIT: But they change their mind trying to repeat trilogy and foamf, making the songs structure even simpler. I know it's just a song, but the song indicates that the next album that we look forward to is going to have the same vibe as fomf. I like foam to some extend, didn't get the whole critisim.. but I don't need more simplistic, formulaic pop-rock songs with flat guitars. Billie is apparently happy with himself and keen on the direction GD is taking, like hating long songs and imitating old-school rock and roll and, worse still, advertising it as a pure rock and roll (no Swedish songwriters). Here we go again 🙃 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

penbreaker Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Green Day font is similar to HCTS one and lyric video is I similar style so maybe I am wrong and We will get another album or maybe it's just font and style for some singles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Beerjeezus Posted May 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 17, 2021 Also I have to say it’s nice to hear something that isn’t “look I’m SO EDGY” coming from Billie Just now, penbreaker said: Green Day font is similar to HCTS one and lyric video is I similar style so maybe I am wrong and We will get another album or maybe it's just font and style for some singles.

Fredes Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 OMG those lyrics, I mean the message may be good, but it's just to clichéd Musically, is trilogy-level dull and boring. Billie has totally run out of good melodies. That chorus is terribly dissapointing, too. I don't know if they're not capable of doing something interesting anymore or they just don't care. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to hear a happy, looking forward type song. I like the whistling at the end, but also wish it was longer. I really like it musically and still get a bit of a Cars vibe. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KGLWW Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 I'm assuming the hot dog cover art is meant to signify the ballparks they'll playing. Even more reason to believe it's just a stand-alone single Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DookieLukie Posted May 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 17, 2021 Billie gave us a great Longshot album and great Network album. Yet he reserves this generic drivel for Green Day. Wtf. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karol Oliveira Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 I listened and let a huge sigh of relief. It's waaaaaaaaaaaaay better than HCTS!!! 😄 Seriously though, cool little tune. Generic, yes, but it's still nice to hear it, especially during these pandemic. The situation might be improving in the US and Europe but here in Brazil it's still dire, so it's nice to hear something positive. This song kind of gives you a bit of strengh, you know? But I confess I don't understand the hot dog on the cover! One thing I'm curious to hear your opinion: tbh, so far I just listened on my shitty laptop phones but I'm curious to know what you guys think about the drumming. I feel it doesn't sound like Tré's playing... or is it just bad mixing? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YUP. I relistened to MM2020 last week and was like - half these songs could be AMAZING (and likely radio successful) Green Day singles. But alas... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
