Lenny Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 1 hour ago, pacejunkie punk said: It’s not at the level of Here Comes the Shock but it’s close. Low effort and very FOAM in style. I think its simple and catchy. Doesn’t have to be much more than that. Would have been a better song on Foamf. Could have used the chorus for saviors calling all saviors tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Verycool99 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 It sounds really unfinished to be honest, the cut in the bridge back to the chorus is quite jarring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teenagekicks Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Crazy that in the year of our lord 2024 a song is out yet nobody outside of the country of origin has heard the high quality version. Just like how Look Ma No Brains was in people’s hands and the band’s marketing team was begging people to upload it and it never got out there. Not condoning piracy but songs got out quicker in 1997 lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Q-Man Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 One of the most lackluster songs they've done. I see why it was left off FOAM and I'm glad they didn't use it for Saviors (outside of a Japan only bonus track). Always preferred the DJD snippet. Hope that comes out in some capacity one day. Maybe they're holding it to rework for potential future releases. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ekim Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Foam to the bone! handclaps included thank God it didn't make the actual album Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saviour Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Yeah, to call it underwhelming would be incredibly generous. Boring and sounds way too much like we're-all-having-a-midlife-crisis FOAMF. Consign this one to the bin marked "forgettable". Glad it was left off the regular version as it would've been the weakest song by some distance. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Billie Joe said on KROQ that there was 7 unused songs from FOAMF. Fever, Damn Juvenile Delinquents, and Here Comes the Shock being 3 of them. I wonder what the other 4 are like (prob not good as they didn't even fucking make FOAMF!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a song to be deemed "not good enough" for that album does not bode well for it, at all. When we heard Here Comes The Shock it was pretty clear why. Awful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dysfunco Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 (edited) I actually quite like it. I prefer this song to several others on FOAM, granted it actually is a FOAM leftover (and not something entirely new recorded 2020 for later release, when they still had plans to do more with Butch Walker). Kind of like that he sings with a slighlty lower pitched kind of voice and style than he usually does nowadays. Changing up the vocal style can be refreshing and is something I wish he did more. His old early 2000's voice tone is rarely heard these days. Edited January 22 by Dysfunco 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(although my belief is that this the song Butch Vig referred to as "Wonderful" about Obama's win in the election 2008, it could still have been brought back for FOAM in a new form, then further remade lyrically to fit "post-Covid"-theme). And perhaps something else that in fact ended up on Saviors? Butch Walker is credited after all, although that could also be entirely new songs recorded 2020 onwards.

Christian's Inferno! Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 It's not the worst thing from FOAMF era. I would probably take it over at least 3 songs off of FOAMF as well as HCTS. The guitar riff is ok, if that made it onto a different track with better production and lyrics, I wouldn't be mad I did just start smiling when the hand claps came because of course this song would also have hand claps lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 I wouldn't be fucking surprised if the other unused songs were used for Money Money 2020 Part II. But I don't think One Eyed Bastard and Pollyanna were 2 of the 7 unused song. Holy Toledo! very well could be tho 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stories and songs Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 This song gives me Post Traumatic FOAM feelings. It’s fine for a bonus track, though. Might as well release stuff they have recorded and won’t use elsewhere. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Degenerate could be too, but that’s better than a lot of songs on FOAM. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Grohl Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Eh...it's a very mid Green Day song. It reminds me of something from the 80s like Hit Me With Your Best Shot or Jesse's Girl. It's just not that interesting. Glad I didn't pay extra to import the Japanese version of the CD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
