RevRad is a good/decent record, BUT... it has no new ideas, no experimentation, no risks, etc. Even some songs are kind of "new versions of" (Ordinary World/Good Riddance, Say Goodbye/Holiday or East Jesus Nowhere, etc). I could think "Troubled Times" could be something "different" in its sound/melody. In a few words: No risks, no fun. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Maddie86 Posted October 4, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 4, 2023 2 hours ago, Gwen Stacy said: I think mid is a bit harsh but it definitely does feel a little “been there, done that”. Competent, but I do feel like they could’ve aimed a little higher. A lot of the songs are great individually but I just don’t think it quite hangs together as a whole as well as it could have. Bang Bang and Forever Now are top shelf Green Day and worth the price of admission alone. Honestly, I feel like revrad was exactly the album they needed to make at the time, even if there's some stuff that's rough around the edges. It's what they needed to do after rehab and the trilogy, 3 longtime friends getting back together in a studio without a label or producer pressuring them. I like how reflective the lyrics were, I'd much rather have lyrics like that instead of party songs. I feel like foam was definitely a misstep 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rev Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 4 hours ago, DookieLukie said: I think a realistic expectation of a Green Day album now is at least 1-2 good to great songs. We can hope for another pre-Trilogy level record, but just being realistic. I think Green Day is capable of the 1-2 great song model. Evidence: UNO: Stay the Night, Oh Love, Nuclear Family DOS: Lazy Bones, Wow! That’s Loud TRE: Brutal Love, Missing You, 8th Avenue Serenade Revrad: Bang Bang, Somewhere Now FOAM: Honestly I don’t know. A lot of okay songs, which is why people hate it so much. Hoping for more but if they can add 2 great songs to their long list of hits, I think people will look at the album positively. I’m gunna need to add Dirty Rotten Bastards to Trè. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somewhere Now is one of their best songs and a cool sound from them. Folky, hard, angelic. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumpelstiltskin2000 Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 15 hours ago, Sheenius said: AI was massive though so there were definitely more security risks at that time but they did sign for people at that time. They did a dedicated signing event at HMV in Toronto when AI came out. Something they no longer do. Even when we were (completely by accident) staying in the same hotel as the guys on the Trilogy Tour and I met Tre he was surrounded by security and no photos allowed! We were at the same hotel once on the 21CB tour. The big three were being bought in the back entrance so no one could get to them but some of the techs a d family were just wandering around. I got in the elevator with some guys holding setlists and when they saw my GD t-shirt they hid them Someone correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't there a signing at Hot Topic for RevRad and someone proposed in front of the guys?

Popular Post Nikto66 Posted October 4, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 4, 2023 About 3 or so years ago I introduced my now 14 year old son to Green Day through Dookie first, which he loved and was addicted to. But now his favorite album is RevRad, that is Green Day to him. Green Day to me is Dookie/Insomniac/Nimrod - I see that period as one continuous album! But I also feel RevRad is closer to the feel of those three albums and I find I listen RevRad now as much as Dookie/Insomniac/Nimrod,. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post AlienVisitor Posted October 4, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 4, 2023 American Idiot may be one of Green day's best album..

JardyOfSuburbia Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 12 hours ago, Christian's Inferno! said: Honestly think SYITH might be my favourite track on FOAMF I think that Foxboro sound is great when it's done right. Stop Drop and Roll was absolutely done right, that's probably my 4th favourite GD related album. Dos is probably my favourite trilogy album despite its problems. And SYITH is an improvement on Fuck Time and I don't understand why I see so many people point to it as one of the album's weak points. Yes, it's not very original but it honestly just sounds pretty great to me and on an album like FOAMF, I'm happy enough with that I'm just tired of them writing a song in that particular style. Like, it doesn't sound unique or refreshing to me. I can get behind a song like Sugar Youth, but I'm sort of over that 50s/60s riff they love to use. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post The Grohl Posted October 4, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 4, 2023 While I agree that Revrad was very back to basics and kind of safe for the band I do think it was the right move as @Maddie86 said. The trilogy era was not kind to the band. Fans and critics felt they fell off at that point and that their best work was behind them. Revrad prove them wrong and got people back. It was a "return to form" after the ambitious but misguided trilogy. I really like Revrad! I remember listening to it on my record player sitting on the floor and just soaking it all in. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
