chrism17 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Have mixed feelings on this one. Love the energy and the lyrics really capture the insanity of the era we are in. However, I really couldnt see myself singing along to it. Especially the fucking a robot part lol. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillenniumFan Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Don't get the hate this gets. To me it sounds like Horseshoes & Handgrenades and Walking Contradiction had a baby. Plus a fierce guitar solo reminiscent of the 39/Smooth & Kerplunk days. The lyrics are a little crude/brazen, but on point. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacejunkie punk Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 The tight and edgy lyrics in this one remind me a lot of Elvis Costello. The fucking a robot that needs batteries and speaks English line is definitely something he’d say. Love it 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stories and songs Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 I LOVE this song. When they started releasing snippets, this was love at first listen for me. It’s really sharp and fast-paced and just fun to listen to. I’m now thinking back on what that one reviewer said about how Billie should’ve swapped the shooting verse for thoughtful commentary on gun control and I’m not totally sure what they were thinking when it comes to the tone of this song. 😂 It’s definitely meant to be a snarky one and I love it. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montclare Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Probably my third favorite after Dilemma and OEB. And yeah, that reviewer didn't get the spirit the comment was intended in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jengd Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Yep, another banger. Love the snarky, angry lyrics. ...buzz like a murder hornet, I drink my media and turn it into vomit and the rest and the scream. If anything I wish there was more of it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Grohl Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 This song is a BEAST. Another one that I instantly started rocking out to when I first heard it. That riff is thick as hell and the song has so much attitude. Like it's sassy, mean, and punchy. Plus, I looooooove Billie's little British affect when he says "twen-ties!" Can definitely hear Horseshoes and Handgrenades on this one, but doesn't bother me a bit (I love that song!). Another album highlight for sure. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GodzillaREMIX Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Great song. Maybe some Bad Religion vibes on this one? American Jesus, maybe? Like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Hermione Posted January 20 Popular Post Share Posted January 20 Absolutely awesome! Love an angry Billie song. Fucking robot senseless line is delivered perfectly 👌 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platypus2000 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Billie’s definitely written worse lyrics, Absolutely love this tune, my 2nd favourite on the album. Wish it was longer!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely nothing in this song reminds me of Oh Yeah. Closest song would definitely be Horseshoes and Handgrenades; not only because of riff but both songs have Billie doing angry singing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd call the cops if they hadn't all quite their jobs.....and then Jesus quits his job later on.....there are definite lyrical echoes throughout the record. But mostly Billie being assaulted. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it's a good sign it seems like every song as a different meaning for everyone. I'm hearing Oh Yeah! before the chorus. I don't like Oh Yeah! but I like 20s tho!

Ain’t That A Kick in the Head is a classic Dean Martin song from the 60’s https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ain't_That_a_Kick_in_the_Head%3F These lyrics are smarter than you think and the robot line is edgy and on point 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're going to be discovering these for a while and we'll never find them all. I'll keep my eyes out for more. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very different songs, but some lines are sung in the same way as the bulletproof backpack line. 23 minutes ago, pacejunkie punk said: Ain’t That A Kick in the Head is a classic Dean Martin song from the 60’s https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ain't_That_a_Kick_in_the_Head%3F These lyrics are smarter than you think and the robot line is edgy and on point Absolutely love the lyrics in this song. So many examples of excellent social commentary on this album, but this is one of my favorite songs in that regard. The Dean Martin reference is so cool! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh100_3 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 I burst out laughing when I first heard this one. The intro riff is identical to a song I wrote with my band 8 years ago! https://feedfrankenstein.bandcamp.com/track/naked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devilskind92 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 This song is very reminiscent of FOAM to me, and not in a bad way. It's like what FOAM could've been with better production, mixing, and overall quality. Lyrics are still very FOAM-y tho lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montclare Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Interesting to have this song kick in when you're actually walking through the supermarket. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
