I think it's pretty clear he's taking a cynical stance on the subject rather than a protest one, like with Bang Bang 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's pretty clear he's taking a cynical stance on the subject rather than a protest one, like with Bang Bang Yeah this is an extremely weird criticism the reviewer is making. Just a thought, but perhaps Billie wasn’t trying to write a meaningful song about gun control lol??? If it’s about how fucked up the world is, he’s clearly just playing off of that. Really odd for the critic to suggest…writing a different song? I could understand the critique if he was trying to write a sensitive song and included something crass, but I can already tell that wasn’t the intent of this song. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twundy Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 So since we’re only a week and a half from the official release of the album, should we start talking week 1 strategies to help get this album to #1 on the Billboard 200? I have 4 physical copies preordered, but obviously I’ll only be streaming the album upon release so they can get those streaming numbers. I’ve been streaming their singles on repeat every night while I sleep and I plan on doing the same with the album. I read somewhere that if your volume is turned ALL the way down a stream won’t count, so I have it on very low and use a sound machine to mask it. If anyone else has any strategies / tips, please share. I want to make sure I’m putting in maximum effort to help our boys out. Especially that first week after release! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might run around telling people that I'm best friends with Green Day now, but no leaky-leak business. lol. I just want to have a big ole' positive review out in a timely manner on YouTube.

Popular Post stories and songs Posted January 11 Popular Post Share Posted January 11 “In reality, it sounds as if the band have burrowed further into their comfort zone with this record, rather than straining at the leash to move things forward.” I’m a journalist and it really pisses me off when writers don’t even research their subject. In every single interview, they’ve made it clear they’re not straining at the leash to move things forward and are very much so taking a walk through past eras and sounds. They’re very obviously not aiming to reinvent the wheel and just wanted to make a solid Green Day album fans will love. At the very least, I’d expect a music journalist to seek out a few interviews from the band first to try to determine what sound they were actually aiming for here. Also kinda side-eyed, “Somewhat surprisingly, two of the best songs here are ones with softer edges.” Is that really surprising when some of their biggest hits are Good Riddance, WMUWSE, and 21 Guns? Sorry to be grumpy. It’s a 3-star review so it’s not like it’s bad, but it’s just frustrating when people who clearly don’t fully know what they’re talking about are influencing whether people pick this album up or not. I don’t usually get too excited one way or the other about reviews because they’re so subjective, and if people have legitimate criticisms that’s totally fine. But I don’t appreciate poor research that ultimately leads to a negatively skewed review. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've proven their worth multiple times over the years probably even back when this chick was still shitting her diapers Probably just still pissing and moaning about the kids picture on the cover so she's already against the project not gonna let this bitter tools article sway me and the fact she dismissed all the rock and only liked the slower ballads proves she's probably not a fan of rock n roll 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ekim Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 That's what I was talking about the other day lazy ass so called music critics how about talking less about themselves and focus more on writing a fair article you big nose cow! Just sucks idiots like this get to hear the album before true fans can hopefully no one is dumb enough to base their opinions on what morons like her have to say and go with how much good music green day have released over the years 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't win ... Do something different (foam) and get heavily criticised for it (myself included) or stick to what they know and what people demand they do and get criticised for it 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
