It's highly likely something might happen around that Birthday though, whether it's them announcing the album, dropping a single or whatever. The other thing is, I don't like that things are this way, but these days, albums are often announced a good 4-5 months in advance or more, with singles dropping way ahead of the album's release. It's not impossible that the band may come with an announcement soon, but even if they did it could "only" possibly be 3, maximum 3 and a half months ahead of the albums release and singles would also have to start dropping very soon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Day has only done that with FOAMF and they only did it to coincide with the releases of the Fall Out Boy and Weezer singles and to create hype for the Hella Mega tour. And despite the album being announced months ahead of the album's release, there were still only 3 singles released before the album which is pretty normal for them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for all the talk of a break from Warner or more creative leeway, I'm sure they'll still be making some strategic marketing decisions, especially if they're proud of this new album (as it seems like they are) and want it to succeed. So, in the unlikely case of a release this year, an announcement would have to come extremely soon in my view, whilst they're still on tour, in fact. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redundantuserjinxboy Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 The very first 1972 teaser (Rak studios) sounded almost like a FOAM song, same with the "share this song with your dog" teaser. All the newer teasers sound much more American idiot, and in general a bit heavier. I wonder if a reason this album is taking so long is because they decided to re-record some of the songs with Rob to make a more authentic Green Day sounding album 🤔🤔🤔 Oh and also songsforassholes account now has exactly 72 post. Lol no fuckin way it's a coincidence 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol no fuckin way it's a coincidence It actually had 72 posts since the time we were speculating about it, before FOAM was announced. I actually started getting the American Idiot vibes from the 3rd teaser. And even this one, the second teaser, reminds me of Give Me Novacaine 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of any of the band member's ages, if they're going to call the album 1972 and it's going to be released when they want it to be released, then it's going to be called 1972 and it'll release when they want it released. I don't see what or why them apparently needing to be 50 at the time of release has to do with anything. If they want it to be a celebration of being 50, then they can simply say that the majority of the album was written and recorded while they were 50 and it's still a celebration of it. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedundantIdiot Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 My predictions (not that I’ve got much right but it won’t stop me from making predictions): 1st single in November, album in March, 13 songs on album. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post GuitarPunk94 Posted August 20, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 20, 2022 with the album title being possibly 1972, do you guys think they take a more "(deep) personal" approach with the new lp? foam was about "having fun" or whatever they wanted to achieve with it 😅 the world became a total shit-place, so i wouldnt mind if they write an album about their life 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PluckyJokerhead Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 I wonder if Billie did any vocal training in the lead up to this? With some of The Network stuff his voice still clearly has the potential to sound as good as it has in the past, and since it seems like they're taking this one more seriously I'm thinking maybe that little extra effort could easily have been put in -- Have we still not had any teasers with actual lead vocal lines? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the way he sounded this summer is any indication, he probably did. I was surprised with how flawless his singing was. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
