1972 project speculation thread

[Flashback]

I‘m getting some serious MOOTIK vibes again, we‘re so investigative 😎

The rumor originally came from that fan that claimed Billie said he had a recorded 6 song EP. Guess things changed. Hope we are least get a single to hold us over.

Good pick up.

I just downloaded the pics and uploaded into 3DShot app. The circumference of the head in each pic is very close. If we allow a 5% margin of error then this very well may be the same person.

He never said EP, just that they recorded six songs in London. We then assumed EP, but it may have been an album all along and they always intended to go back and do more in the spring

just opened a topic for this

I just thought of something. I wonder if they finished recording the album and are back in the studio recording something for Ukraine. They wouldn’t be teasing this much if 1972 weren’t finished

I love this forum, and the fact that we’ve started analysing bald men from the back made me laugh out loud 😂😂

[HAPPY ZOMBIE UNICORN]

This community never stops freaking the shit out of me. Keep the bald head dissection coming please ❤️.

I'm absolutely fine with them taking more time for the record. FOAMF wasn't that long ago so a new album coming out this soon would worry me a little bit. Idk how much recording they have left to do but I'm fine with them taking their time. Idk why they're teasing us about a project that isn't done (and likely isn't even that close to being done) but whatever. I've not really been paying that much attention to the teasers and wasn't expecting a new album for at least another few months anyway

Nothing they've released recently has wowed me. FOAMF sure as hell didn't despite some solid tracks on side B. Pollyanna was alright. Holy Toledo was pretty good but again, not amazing. I personally wasn't a fan of MM2020 Pt II at all. Hopefully this album will be a step in the right direction.

It’s not just any bald man though🙃

They really seem to be reacting to the response to the last album with these teases. After so much hand wringing over the sound and the production of FOAM, they’ve now had a teaser clip where they’re working out a song and they say “Oh Green Day!” like, to indicate a classic Green Day sound and now they tease that Rob Cavallo is in the room. They are signaling that this project will be the sound you know and love.

Yeah these teasers are giving me American Idiot vibes!!!

[dudley dawson]

There’s no better producer than Rob for them. Very exciting if he is indeed producing this.

[jengd]

But… before we all get over excited, Butch Walker clearly said he was working on the next album.  Can’t remember when that was though, maybe Covid has meant that had to change?

When did he say that?

Inspecting the back of Robs head, this place at times. *Insert laughing face emoji*

I thought he said that shortly after FOAM and I was wondering if that was the Network album. If not, plans just may have changed.

The Network album makes sense because it has Art of the Deal With the Devil which was cut from FOAM

[PluckyJokerhead]

Would make perfect sense for them to avoid working with Butch Walker again as a direct result of the reception of the last album, regardless of how much they enjoy working with him, and Cavallo is easily the safest choice to fall back onto in that case. Not going to hold hold my breath either way though, we'll see what happens.

Definitely feel like every album since the trilogy has been missing some kind of Green Day 'magic', and I think a lack of Rob Cavallo is one of the reasons for that.

Right after FOAM's release. Here's the interview where he talk about it  https://www.ajc.com/blog/music/butch-walker-producing-new-records-watching-the-office-during-coronavirus-time/91uQeEBk7WEVHNykpuefZP/

They may have very well changed their minds about the direction of the album and who they wanted to produce it.

Don't get me wrong, I love Rob and am thrilled that he is likely coming back. BUT Butch Vig's production on 21CB was another level. I'd kill for that again. 

[GDFan2019]

Correct me if I’m wrong, I thought I remember reading somewhere that they had a falling out with Cavallo at some point. If he’s indeed back on board, it’s great, they worked out their differences!
