So does this add up to any of that crazy letter nonsense you guys engaged again?

Sincerely, That Pragmatic Dude

 

Courtesy of GPT4 (didn’t verify if it’s correct) 

“Let’s break down the phrase “the American dream is killing me” and see if each letter is present in the provided set of letters.

1. the: T, H, E
2. American: A, M, E, R, I, C, A, N
3. dream: D, R, E, A, M
4. is: I, S
5. killing: K, I, L, L, I, N, G
6. me: M, E

Now, let’s verify the availability of each letter in the provided set of letters:

1. T: Present
2. H: Present
3. E: Present (4 times)
4. A: Present (2 times)
5. M: Present (3 times)
6. R: Present (2 times)
7. I: Present (2 times)
8. 😄 Present
9. N: Present (3 times)
10. 😧 Present
11. S: Present
12. K: Present
13. L: Present (2 times)
14. G: Present
15. O: Present (4 times)

Now let’s remove these letters from the given set to see what is left:

NNENYEILNCEBAORROOPEOTtSTLOOMCKTMOOW
- THEAMERICAN
- DREAM
- IS
- KILLING
- ME

Leftover letters:
NNEYLOORROOPOtTOOMOW

Therefore, yes, you can form the phrase “the American dream is killing me” from the provided letters, and the remaining letters are “NNEYLOORROOPOtTOOMOW”.

Alright, if we can use each letter more than once, let’s try to form the words “Green Day” along with “the American dream is killing me”. 

For “Green Day” we need:
G, R, E, E, N, D, A, Y

We already know the provided letters set can form “the American dream is killing me,” and for "Green Day," all the letters needed are also available in the given set.

To form both “the American dream is killing me” and “Green Day”, there are no missing letters to form these words, and all the letters needed are available in the provided set.

Now, let’s identify the unused letters:
- After forming "the American dream is killing me," we were left with: NNEYLOORROOPOtTOOMOW
- Forming "Green Day" will use G, R, E, E, N, D, A, Y, and all are available twice or more in the given letter set. 

Therefore, the letters that are never used are: O, P, W

I think in the past GD has overhyped records. Obviously the trilogy seemed to be much more massive than it actually was at first. Revolution Radio as well felt a bit overhyped, I think we all lost our heads a bit with Bang Bang and then realized it was one song of a small handful of songs like that.

Green Day came blazing out saying Foamf was going to rock and be a dirty record and it just was hardly an EP. 
 

They’ve been quiet about this one, no stupid stunts so far. I find when Billie is quiet prior to a release the music is usually better. Im getting 21cb vibes as well (maybe its that guitar lick) but even the way they teased little portions of songs it feels like how they did it in 08-09.

For a band with longevity theres always a time where they come back around and deliver like the old days. Sabbath when they made their last comeback, Rush with Vapor Trails etc. 

and especially in the times we are in now where pop music tried to manufacture punk again and then this set off an interest in 2000s pop punk revival - no better time to let GD’s music do the talking. I think this is a legit record, no band invests in Oceanway just to make an album for shits and giggles. This is going to be a real record.

Especially a band that owns their own studios they certainly don’t need to pay for one to record in unless they’ve got big ambitions beyond what their studios can deliver.  That goes for the cost of hiring Cavallo and CLA too.

The riff reminds me of the Class of 13 part

Billie wrote this opening riff for this Interrupters song. It’s the same one, just slowed down a bit now:

 

Wow that’s insanely similar. Don’t like that.

This and also the opening rift to OEB in my opinion

Don’t they always use CLA?

That would be cool, although the album 14 timeline on greenday.fm confirms that singles (plural) will be released in 2023.

Then late November or early December? is a 2nd release date but I don't expect January month as the album release time. Sometime in February...

[That Dude]

A fairly unique song title.   The only song called American Dream I know if from Cold.     The American Dream is Killing Me.   Interesting.   Major Breakdown vibes.  Like 21 Guns which is literally about Billie Joe being pummeled by the weight of American Idiot and how he just wanted to just give up.       This could be the concept album story of how Green Day have struggled with their Post Idiot success and maybe some really personal stories from their lives.     Music kind of drives me crazy that it's so vague most of the time.    I know Rock Stars including Green Day keep their personal lives personal, but I want raw dirt.       I love it when a singer really goes hard, family and friends and THEMSELVES be damned.   Speak your truth.     But again, I get that its' a safety thing.   But whatever.   

GREEN DAY 14!   I'm still holding on to a blue album cover, but I will concede there may be pink and black.

I've been waiting a long time for this album to come if I am destined to hear anything at all...all..all....    

I dig the alarm clock sound to the new teaser video.

Tchad Blake mixed most of FOAM, dugan did sugar youth I believe, and the one offs/BJA covers/network stuff after that

[Otis Big]

I think 2/2 is a good speculation. 

[dudley dawson]

I don’t know how I feel about them channeling American Idiot with the new record. Seems to raise expectations to an unreasonable level, but hopefully it’s a bounce back after FOAM 🤞

Finally, we have a date!! I thought that it would’ve been earlier than three weeks from now, but I can wait a bit longer given how long we’ve already waited. A new GD song and my FOB gig within 3 days of each other will be wild.

[suffoKate]

Idk how people are hearing one eyed bastard in this new riff, even if it was reworked they sound nothing alike to me

I’m with you. It’s not that at all

Those 15 esconds are enough to be better than FOAM

You're right.  I didn't think topping FOAM was possible, but I think they just may have done it.

If it's actually justified, THAT would be incredible.   Heck, even if it's a swing and a miss, I'd be proud of them for shooting to the stars.   People complain about a re-hash, yet people hate new sounds so it's got to be an incredibly balanced sound that will appeal to both sides.   

And by both sides, I mean boneheads who like Dookie on one side and us sophisticated genius's that love FOAM and Trilogy for the high concept dregidetory art pieces they are on the other side......

Just kidding....about the bonehead part anyway.    I think if Green Day would have replaced "Stab You in the Heart" and "Ready Fire Aim" with One Eyed Bastard and ARt of the Deal with Devil, FOAM would have been perfect.   Those two songs are a little skippy.    The rest of the album?   Probably Green Day's best album.
