Everyone has different opinions on this which is totally fine, but living in California, I've seen them 10 times and I'd literally still see them even if they sang the alphabet on repeat lol 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am pretty tired of the same old same old Green Day changes it up: People complain they've changed too much. Green Day gives us RevRad: People complain they sound too much like Green Day. I personally hope the new album is an evolution of their sound, but I am not expecting it to be. As long as it sounds good from a production standpoint, has some rockin' tunes, badass guitar and doesn't have BJ trying to imitate Prince in cringy midlife crisis songs about partying and pretending to be a teenager, then I think I am going to be absolutely fine with whatever they put out. I've given up on them trying to take on the world now. I am grateful to have my 3 favourite albums of all time from them and even if I don't ever get anything else like those 3 albums, all I want is for them to want to do what they do and continue to do it well. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Day have a huge fanbase. No matter what they do, there are always going to be people who have issues with what they're doing. There are fans who want a return to 90's Green Day, there are fans who want another AI or 21CB, there are fans who want them to make another album like RevRad, there are fans who are perfectly fine with them doing what they're doing now and there are fans who want them to change things up more. It's not hypocrisy that people are complaining about too much change or too little change. These are usually two separate groups making these complaints I think the RevRad complaint about it being too safe and similar to their previous albums is a valid one even if I do like that album. But my issue with FOAMF isn't that they've changed too much, it's that the quality of the songs is just not at the standard I want. The more experimental or different tracks like Oh Yeah are not tracks that I care for but even some of the more Green Day sounding songs, & even some of the better ones just don't compare to what they've done before imo. I don't want to be too negative about the album because ik it's gotten its fair share of unfounded criticism but it's the album I listen to the least now despite it being their most recent, and I don't listen to their pre-Dookie stuff that often. I'm not against another Foxboro-esque album if it's at the quality of Stop Drop & Roll, that's a great album that nobody listens to anymore. I'm hoping this new album is going to be a return to form, no matter what it sounds like but the teasers we've got have me intrigued 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Green Day probably will be doing a lot of color exclusives for the vinyl since the album is supposed to be celebratory. This fan art one's got me thinking how neat it would be if they did exclusives where each cover is an image of one of the 3 guys as babies. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pukey has been fired, so not exactly like FOAM. Just a cover that is reminiscent of the Dookie cover. Mabye the band will even use the Dookie guitar pedal while Billie does some vocals training to get the best delivery he can get. And all three guys doing backing vocals.

I don't know how many times I've said that on here, but needs to be said directly to Green Day. I've always wanted a serious Tre song. A hard rock instrumentation with really emotionally troubled lyrics. And Mike? He's like Van Gough from The Network, but smooth instead of deformed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
