This feels very Coffee and Repent-ish.

This new record will be like 21cb, similar to RevRad too. 

[MillenniumFan]

Well, I think with better production (and mixing), I would likely have been more fond of RevRad and the trilogy for that matter. And besides the overall sound, which really falls flat on RevRad in my opinion, by good production I also just mean better executive decisions. Whether it's to cut certain songs (looking at you Ordinary World) or to reorganise the song-structure in a more coherent way, good production matters. For the trilogy, the obvious missed choice would have been for it to, well, not be a trilogy. 

I think Somewhere Now and Forever Now are two of the best songs they've written since 21CB, but the crowded and clumsy production is frustrating and there's no alternative live versions or mixes to listen to, which is a great shame. 

I guess this is why I'm so optimistic about album 14. Thing is, with the right guitar/amp sound (the beefy plexi) and Cavallo's trademark big-but-not-too-polished-production, both of which seem to be set for a comeback on this record, there's not really much that can go wrong for me. If it sounds like Green Day**,  I'm in. Does not matter if it's Dookie or Nimrod, Insomniac or Warning, 21CB or American idiot, Suffocate or Shoplifter, Governator or Maria.

Spoiler

yes, yes, my subjective definition of what constitutes the Green Day sound

I hope billie sounds good I don't mind some reverb effects to strengthen his vocals, but no ai or autotuning to the point it doesn't resemble his natural voice 

[GDFan2019]

Next Tuesday, what time do you think the song will be out? From what I remember, I think FOAM was released around noon, right?

[redline punk]

I'm hoping the next album will be a direct follow-up to 'Father of All...' and be titled '...Son of Nobody'

Because they want the end of Israel, that's well documented. And they want to 'exterminate' the jews. They did behead babies, there's been a massive media blackout on this because of how distressing it is and how abhorrent it was. IDF soldiers found the babies, somewhere on the deep dark web the photos / evidence will be floating around, but these haven't been published worldwide because, rightfully, people don't want to see it, let alone acknowledge it happening. I can guarantee i'm a lot more studied in this than you are. So just for you, i'll do a run down of some facts.

Judaism is one of the oldest religions on the planet, Israel as we now know it, is where the jews lived, there's debates as to what the country was called back 1000s of years ago, some say it was called Palestine, some have other ideas. Either way, the jews have always been there. Once Islam came along, the arabs started a violent siege, westwards, Israel being one of the first places to come under the siege, where the arabs / muslims at the time, wanted to eradicate any non-believers standing in their way. This is one of the earliest documented times, of the conflict starting. If you look up the history of the Ottoman Empire, you will see and learn about this and how far back the pursuit of 'exterminating non-believers' goes. So there's been conflict between the jews & muslims for 1000s of years, mainly the jews just wanting to live & the muslims not allowing that. (It's in the Koran, there's no debating that there's a negative look at jews in the 'holy book'. Something a lot of people choose to ignore).

Fast forward to WW2 where millions of jews were killed & displaced, the UN came to an agreement that any displaced jews would be resettled in Israel. Israel has always been the holy land of the jews, hence Jerusalem. The same as the muslims having mecca. The only people to push back against these jews coming to Israel were the arabs, who have voted against peaceful resolutions put forward by the UN, every time. So there's always been an underlying theme of dislike & hatred towards the jews from the arab / muslim communities... Anyway, this has gone on and on and on, the difference is, it started to get to the point where Israel had to fight back & because Israel is backed by the 'West', it has much stronger military capabilities. People will show you stats of the death tolls of palestinians compared to the Israelis. Israel has the iron dome, which is an anti-missile defence system, which shoots down a large portion of rockets that get fired over the border, obviously with the aim of killing israelis / jews. So after a few times of this happening, Israel fight back, but their rockets are much more successful at hitting its targets. 

What hamas has done is created a huge underground tunnel network, they operate from schools, hospitals, residential streets, etc etc. Usually hamas fires rockets from these places, when Israel responds, they send out a warning, letting civilians know, to leave said hospitals, schools, etc, but the palestinians don't want to leave, these people then get killed & it's more propaganda for hamas & other arabs to say 'look at how bad israel is, look at how bad the west is'.

Another thing to note, the palestinians vote for Hamas, who aren't shy in their political mantra of wanting the extermination of jews & the end of Israel, period. I'd like to think that there are palestinian people who aren't in favour of hamas, but we'll never truly know.

As for Israel, MANY arabs live in Israel, it's also the safest place in the middle east for gay people. You can be gay there without fear of having your head chopped off. It has one of the most liberal supreme courts in the world. There's freedom of press, equality for women... The list goes on. 

The idea of a one state solution is such a lazy and stupid notion. Why should Israelis relinquish a democracy that is capable of putting a former prime minister in jail for corruption ? Why should they allow people who support sharia law to have jurisdiction over one of the most liberal supreme court's in the world ? Why should Tel Aviv, one of the most gay friendly cities on earth be subjected to moral standards of the 7th century ?

Their cultures are polar opposite that there can never be a one state solution.

So remember when you're trying to look cool on social media & virtue signalling so that you get scene points. One side wants the extermination of jews & it will do so by any means necessary, the other just wants to live like you and I do, for the most part, able to express ourselves & chase our dreams & be whoever the fuck that we want to be. 

The one side hosts music festivals where you can dress however you feel that you want to, where you can dance with your friends, sing & laugh until the sun comes up, the other doesn't want that. 

I know which side i'm on.... x PEACE

Hey, shut the fuck up this is a Green Day thread.

I don't know about that title, but yes!   We didn't get to have a Father of All era at all other than a few videos and performances.  At least the Trilogy had a ton of promotion before THE INCIDENT. 

The only thing I'd change about FOAM is that it should have been a Trilogy as well.   Three 26 minute albums would be SICK and no.  I'm not joking the least bit. Brisbane are you with me?????

Someone in the GreenDay.fm forum said they were watching the 1981 performance again and noticed the lyric, "You've got one foot in the grave", so maybe there is a connection to a zombie storyline after all!!!!

I was also searching online to find a connection between zombies and the year 1981 and I found this movie, Night of the Zombies!!

I enjoy all this speculating, but I in in all these 629 pages, we have no idea what this album is going to be like.   And that's a good thing.  Like someone said about the secret shows, Green Day still do numbers.  They could surprise drop Album 14. 

And maybe the Amercian Dream isn't part of it.  No zombie video. No music that they have teased.  Just blowe,  Brand new Green Day album with 13 songs!

Are you talking about the Brain Stew reel in the practice studio? The one that's captioned, "How's your Thursday lookin'?"?

Hmmm....yeah when I saw that, I thought it was odd how how they specifically asked us how our Thursday is going. Genius double meaning there!!! Posted on a Thursday for a show that's on the next Thursday!!!

[grinsoniko]

I’m trying so hard not to get over-pumped over this release, but I just have this strange gut feeling that I know others are having too. All the secrecy around it has been feeding that feeling in the last couple of years. I’m fucking ready!
