Virtuous Xman Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 I'm thinking the theme of this album will be along the lines of death and decay mentally and spiritually. Because american dream touches on a lot of that. Then after trying to decipher the lyrics from look ma no brains, you get that as well. Hopefully we'll have a tracklist next week since that will definitely give an idea of where the band is going with this. As far as the tracks that were 1972 sessions, I don't think they scrapped them. Not this time around. And whose to say that they had written ten songs or more during that time. Could have only literally been 3-4 songs before they let rob know what they were doing and he could have possibly given some other ideas and then things took off. The theme of american dream and look ma no brains are so similar that at this point I can't see "LMNB" not being on the album. That and the fact youtube keeps blocking it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post That Dude Posted October 21, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 21, 2023 All this Green Day American Dream business is taking me away from digging into the new blink record proper and also effected all the other awesome releases that just dropped. We got new Rolling Stones, Blues Traveler, Duff McCagan, Chris Shiflett, IV and the Strange Band and so much more, but.... But it's AMERICAN DREAM IS KILLLING ME on repeat. You guys know what I'm talking about. We're gonna play this song so many times that by the time the album comes out, we will automatically skip it like Haushinka without even thinking about it, haha. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed for a special delivery! 2 minutes ago, sampy said: Sure! I have the shipping code and it says that the package weight is 0,042 kilograms and it will be delivered to my letterbox. I didn't even think about this before I read this speculation. I did not, so I would be very mad at myself when they really ship some merch or music to the ones who filled out the form 😄 maybe when they reached the maximum amount of people to ship stuff to, they deactivated the full form. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post chichi Posted October 21, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 21, 2023 Not only is the music good, but the promotion, marketing, and overall vibes around the band feels so much better than it has for the past decade. Feels like something changed internally after FOAM and some adults were finally put in charge. I still see that cringey "no Swedish songwriters" billboard posted online to this day. Crazy how poorly the band has been marketed since the trilogy days really. 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason I could think of leaving the song as non- album track is that it doesn't flow well with the rest of the songs. That applies mostly for music reasons than lyrics wise. Think of Shoplifter or Too Much Too Soon. Both good songs, but where would you put them without a feeling of disrupt? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy how poorly the band has been marketed since the trilogy days really. Yeah I agree. There’s really been NO promotion since early trilogy days. I didn’t agree with the early promos for Uno, what’s with all the early morning shows? We don’t need GMA performances we need late night shows. I’m up at midnight not 7 am 😂 I’m curious to know if anyone at the label handles any business and marketing analytics for the band after such performances and campaigns. Honestly, I’m qualified and would love to be the dude that tells Marketing that it’s a bad idea. but so far it’s been really good. Everyone is comparing it to 21cb and I get they’re trying to convey the quality of the release as a whole. However, this era will stand on its own. For those that are younger who missed out on the AI and 21cb releases this one is for you. Enjoy it. I have a feeling the band will be somewhat of a big deal again for a while. 17 minutes ago, greendepent said: The only reason I could think of leaving the song as non- album track is that it doesn't flow well with the rest of the songs.

Hearts Collide and Lights Out as well. Great songs but didnt match the flow of the record. I like the Bside it rocks 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But FOAM was so good that they purposely BUTCHered the promotion because the songs stand for themselves. Gods among giants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DookieLukie Posted October 21, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 21, 2023 After having such “meh” reactions to pretty much every lead single from the Trilogy forward (minus Bang Bang but didn’t care for the other RevRad singles), I have to say this is the most excited I’ve been. These two songs rock and even from a phone recording of a record player feel energetic and dynamic. No more partying lyrics helps too. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Lenny Posted October 21, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 21, 2023 So I got more info when I called the label. This is in fact a concept album around a zombie man and a zombie woman. Swanky is her name and shes got the best of him. 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it will, but the reason why it wouldn’t is because long long ago in the days of LPs and 45s, B-sides were usually outtakes, throwaway songs and bonus tracks. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the album's quality is similar to these two songs, then we're good. It reminds me a lot of parts from desensitized, sick, and Maria. Awesome harmonies from bill too! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finnish Post Office has its own phone app where you can track orders etc. This random tracking number just appeared there. I'm trying to think about what could it be.
