If so the new album must be coming sooner than early next year right?

I would still assume February. I worked at many record labels back in my 20s, and these rollouts are carefully planned and spaced out.

Just assuming because the music director of 91X was there, no videos/photos have surfaced of a ‘show,’ and the woman from 91X confirmed it wasn’t for the music video.

Sound reasoning to me

I remember being so excited when I heard the Oh Yeah! snippet. Damn I was disappointed when the song came out.

Hoping for a great rock album, that's all. I'm not gonna judge anything over snippets.

This man was talking a big game during pre-season like the Jays

Dj Rosstar worked with Dr Svengali at Adeline

I wish! I did work at Warner though from 2004-2006. Good times!

Pacing wise I'm gonna guess similar to FOAMF in terms of buildup. October/September single, album out in February/March. 2-3 singles in between, another single on release day.

October to February is such a long wait. Hopefully since it's late October it will be released early February to cut down on the giant gap.

It's 2023 and we're talking about Green Day maybe are about to release a new Rock Opera album. Isnt that fact amazing? I know we shouldnt have too high hopes, but the fact, that its so realistic is hyping me so much.

It's really exciting!!! After waiting since 2021, and now we're just weeks away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And now some lucky fans are working with them on the new music video and hearing the new single right now as we speak!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If the album does end up being “American Dream”, “The American Dream Is Killing Me”, or “Sweet American Dream” I believe it’s only natural to assume it’s going to be a politically fueled album. 

I can see how there could be comparisons to American Idiot due to having “American” in the title. I’m thinking it’s going to be a new story just like how 21CBD introduced a new set of characters and plot. Still political, just a new story that has a rock opera element which sort of makes it the sequel to AI. I think that’s going to be the same move here, so sort of like the 3rd act of the trilogy of political rock operas. 

I know people sort of attach RevRad with AI & 21st, but it’s not really a rock opera. It does have a very loose concept that sort of connects songs together, but it’s very very loose. 

Ever since the teases have been coming since last year I’ve gotten nothing but good vibes about album 14. I’m so pumped. Im so ready to be invested in a plot that holds weight and meaning. With the recent developments my anticipation has skyrocketed with the idea we could…keyword COULD be getting a political rock opera. I am most definitely overhyping this idea…but one can….dream, right 😉

While I definitely think that this will be a political album, I'm not so sure that it will be a rock opera. 

I know that they could have changed their minds, but I'm pretty sure that Billie said that he really didn't want to do a rock opera again after 21st Century Breakdown. I think that we can confidently expect an overarching theme with the album, I really don't think that this is going to be a character driven album at all. I think that we're going to be seeing something more in the direction of a political concept album. Rock operas are a type of concept album, but there are differences. I think crafting an entire story with a plot and characters is partially what turned them off of making another rock opera in the first place. I think we're going to see a more generalized perspective. Likely just Billie Joe and the feelings of the American public. No Jesus of Suburbia, St. Jimmy, and Whatsername, or Christian and Gloria. 

Obviously we still have no idea what this album is going to be like, and while I do think that we're on the right track, I think that it is a mistake to expect another rock opera from them. Green Day are very much in the been there, done that mindset. They like to look forward more than back. Not to say that they won't look back, but I think if they were going to recycle elements from their past body of work, they're still going to want to make something new out of it. It needs to be different enough. 

Also, regarding your point about rev rad, I totally agree. I would not call that a rock opera at all. I think because Green Day's most politically charged albums have both been rock operas, people will automatically assume that a general theme and more political content means rock opera. Rock operas are story driven. That is what separates them from other conceptual works of music. The albums are like books. I honestly wouldn't even call rev rad a concept album. Sure, it has a theme, but it's still not solid enough to fully be considered that.

Remember Billie said the only sequel he’d do was INSOMNIAC…..THEIR MOST OVERLOOKED ALBUM….I’d love an Insomniac style again

Fair but I still think Insomniac is so overlooked and Westbound Sign could have been a hit single the lyrics of him telling a story through his wife’s POV from moving to Minnesota to California set the stage for his future lyrics and story telling…also the change ups of Panic Song and speaking on society, fame, and all of that really showed what was to come in my opinion
