JadedPunk_91 Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 I think I'll decide the "power-pop" thing once I hear the album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viva La Junkpile Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 My godz! Are people as ignorant to condemn the album before they even HEARD it? OF COURSE! Stupidity at work here. Do you seriously think Green Day are going to change their sound so much so that they won't sound like Green Day? Why do you think they didn't use the songs they made for their new record, and put it out with Foxboro Hot Tubs? BECAUSE THOSE WEREN'T GREEN DAY SONGS! They were having fun, and certainly couldn't use something with THAT sound for a GREEN DAY record. RELAX! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanessa Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 I saw The Maine and Metro Station live at the same show. I wouldn't put them in the same category. Metro Station is techno and The Maine isn't. At least that's how it was when I saw them a few months ago.Power-pop almost makes me think of Avril Lavigne. I like Avril, so I don't mind that idea, but I'm sure others of you wouldn't like it.The Maine have some songs that are power-poppy, but most are just pop/rock. They just generally don't play the power-poppy ones live, but on their CD, there's a couple. Not many though. Metro Station's songs are all power-poppy.

Tiffx Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 I just a bit concerned Metro Station and Green Day are being used in the same sentence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaddi. Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 I think I'll decide the "power-pop" thing once I hear the albumYeah... why judge before knowning anything? We probably didn't even hear at least one chord of it, but everybody starts discussing and prejudging. Wait, listen and then judge And btw... I wouldn't take all these articles too serious. They're only bad remakes of the AP interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermione Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 Yeah... why judge before knowning anything?

chatnoir Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 Idk. Powerpop- it is only a word. It is always difficult to label music, I guess and it is not necessary anyway. So let`s wait and see.Btw, the only band I know, who labeled their music as power-pop, is Broadway Calls and they are pretty awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rita Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 Ha, of course it's only a word. I mean, bands which are labelled power pop are cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brekka Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 yeah.because i bet they'll sound EXACTLY like metro station.uhh.. seriously?no.have you heard a tonality simularity between them?no.so quit being all pissy before you even listen to the album.judge before hearing much?..

TotalBasketCase13 Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 I fucking LOVE powerpop music! Regardless, Green Day are going to sound exactly like... well, Green Day. No matter what genre Billie says they're leaning more towards, they're not going to drastically change their sound. And they sure as hell won't come out sounding like Metro Station Musically I think the new record is going to be in the same vein as American Idiot.

greendaygrl93 Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 If you read the AP interview you would know that the entire album isn't being described as "power-pop". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack96 Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 btw.do you guys believe that most of their works was kinda pop?they are more pop punk than punk rock for sure.Well Warning Dookie and American Idiot for sure!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So let`s wait and see.Btw, the only band I know, who labeled their music as power-pop, is Broadway Calls and they are pretty awesome.I love Broadway Calls, their music's great But I don't think the new Green Day album will sound like Broadway Calls, cause they're more... hm I don't know how to say... their music is good, but not brilliant when you look the melodies and stuff... and Billie said the new album will be the best they've ever done, so I expect it to be better than a normal power-pop-punk-rock-whatever-album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chatnoir Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 I love Broadway Calls, their music's great You know, they are touring Germany with Alkaline Trio next year? You can see the dates on adelinerecords.net! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first impression after reading the article was that they're looking to blow American Idiot out of the water. Seems like they're really going for it.
