Hey guys, so August 1st, do you think this is finally the month where we get some news about the new album, especially since they played 1981 in Quebec?

Agree on everything except 21cb…

21cb is one of the most unique GD albums and has some incredible songwriting as a whole. A lot of people talk about Warning being an underrated record (and it is) but 21cb might be their most underrated.

It was the perfect follow up to AI. KYE might feel flat for us as a lead single but it was successful as hell and 21 Guns was a megahit. The rest of the songs were all new songs there was no recycling and the touch of piano on those tracks were refreshing especially in the viva la gloria songs.
 

Most bands can’t successfully follow up even a 3X platinum record well let alone a 6x Platinum record. GD did a stellar job on following up on Dookie as well with Insomniac, which is also often overlooked.

 

Static age - church on sunday

21 guns - boulevard (exact same Rythm and drum pattern, same style choruses)

east Jesus - holiday (similar guitar part, similar middle 😎

Restless Heart - Novocaine / Boulevard

horseshoes - the hives 

I wouldn’t say 21cb is underrated, isn’t it their best selling record ? I just don’t think it’s that good. Parts sound rushed, too many rehashes, 21guns is so boring as is KYE.

21CB is nowhere near their best selling record. American Idiot, Dookie, Nimrod & Insomniac all easily beat 21CB in terms of sales. 21CB has more streams than Nimrod/Insomniac because it's a more recent album

If 21CB is a rehash of older material, then you have to have the same opinion about Insomniac which is similar to Dookie in a lot of ways too. Restless Heart Syndrome and East Jesus Nowhere sound pretty unique to me. Yes, RHS is similar to BOBD in some ways and lyrically shares similarity with Novocaine but it is definitely not a rehash, I think it actually is better than Novocaine in terms of the lyrical content. I don't understand how EJN is similar to Holiday apart from the fact that they both have a bass led section in the middle. The guitars do not sound similar on these songs at all to me

Their best selling record is Dookie. I think 21cb went Platinum so it sold just over 1 million in the states. 

EJN and Holiday arent even in the same key 

And for some of the other similarities do you mean they’re similarly written songs? I mean coming from a drummer here, the drums are playing that way to stay out of the way of the vocals. When you EQ the last you want to do is try to wrestle the voice over some toms or crash cymbals or overactive snare on songs like 21 Guns and Boulevard.

and the hives? C’mon man they’re not even a pimple on Billie’s ass. Horseshoes was written way before 21cb were The Hives even a thing at that time?

you chat some rubbish, the hives have been around since late 90's and their song Main Offender was released in 2000. I'm not bashing Green Day, i just think and know that 21cb has a lot of rehashes. EJN in general is similar to Holiday, in structure, lyrical content and the style that the guitars are played & the bass driven middle 8, nothing to do with the drums, lol.

Maybe if we all threaten mass suicide unless Green Day releases their record, they will be forced to do it. I doubt whatever is holding it up is worth the lives of possibly 1k humans. They’d have to cave or else they’d have blood on their hands and it could ruin their image as progressive humanitarians. Thoughts?

Dude, you really need to get a hobby or something. Is this really the only thing in your life you have to look forward to right now?

I’d rather an IG post that sounds like a teaser over the 1,000th fake track list.

What sounds like a teaser in this IG post? We all know it's only merch for Oakland Coffee
