I feel like all artists feel that way at least half of the time. My only hope for this album currently is that we hear more again soon. Misery is fantastic! I want to know the future of the characters that survived that wild story. I'd be good with A 2nd Warning: We Also Told Ya So! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Montclare Posted December 29, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 29, 2022 2 hours ago, HAPPY FINKING UNICORN said: Same thing people said when Warning and AI came out. Agreed. I always think, what if the only two GD albums a person heard were Dookie and Insomniac, and the next they heard was 21CB? They wouldn't believe it was the same band. GD is more diverse than a lot of non-fans give them credit for. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clockwise Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 There's no way this new album is half as good as FOAM. Sorry guys. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind the band trying new sounds, we have plenty of good music where the band gets out of their confort zone, that was never a problem. But FOAM was a miss, not a hit. Warning, Idiot, 21st CB are all diverse records full of different aproaches that were on point and inspired. You can love Father Of All, but it was by far their weakest try on a new sounding and mixing. The solid and above average discography that GD has makes FOAM sound even worse 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His lyric style has changed no doubt, but I dispute the allegation that they lack substance. The meaning is just more deeply hidden, but he continues to write about what he’s feeling that hasn’t changed. It’s just less explicit. I would argue years of celebrity has made him more withholding and self protective of his feelings, even as he tries to stay true to himself as an artist. It’s difficult to maintain both privacy and openness. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAPPY ZOMBIE UNICORN Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 What will follow are surely unpopular opinions, but the Trilogy IMHO has the worst lyrics in their discography (with a few exceptions in those 37 songs). RevRad has also some of the worst and most boring lyrics of their career. And in my opinion FOAM is above that in, even in its simpler lyric structure. Still nothing close to the pre-Trilogy eras, of course, but at least there was again quite a few fun sparkles that they mostly lacked for a while. Then yes, I agree with @pacejunkie punk, BJ had a very different approach to lyrics in that record, and one can hate it, totally fair. And if I have to choose between Jesus of Suburbia and Graffitia, I pick JoS any time of course. But between the best and the worst lyrics of FOAM and those of RevRad/the Trilogy, in many cases I would still pick a FOAM song. Exceptions made of course, their best post 21CB lyrics are still in Bang Bang IMHO, forever now is close up there. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But no two records sound the same, that's my point. FOAM can't not sound like Green Day by virtue of the fact that it was created by the same three people (minus 39/Smooth) as every other album. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDFan2019 Posted December 29, 2022 Author Share Posted December 29, 2022 I hope 1972 ends up being 40 minutes long at least. Or maybe we’ll get an hour long album if we’re lucky. I think 21CB was like, ironically, 72 minutes long! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Jirachi Posted December 29, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 29, 2022 I find FOAM fun. Just a fun turn your brain off 26 minute thing. Nothing amazing but I do like it and have fun listening to it while working on stuff. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Dude Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 5 hours ago, Sanity Loan said: And god awful lyrics with zero substance (save for one or two songs). I'd say there were two or three with weak lyrics, but the rest was up to Green Day standards. The three weaklings off this masterpiece: Ready, Fire, Aim. I literally forget it as soon as it's over. WTF. I'm not Justin Beiber. Then there's the clunky I Was a Teenage Teenager Teenaging and yes, this one is kind of a dog salad of words. Haha. and finally is Stab You in the Heart, one of my most skipped Green Day tunes. It's just not great at all. But the rest is high art. As good or better than American Idiot. Better than Idiot. I hope that 1972 retains at least SOME of the FOAM magic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But hey as we speculate what previous albums may or may not influence the next album, a recent comment has led to a very interesting and informative discussion on FOAM. If you had not been here, just think what you would have missed. 🤪 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
