Sixtrix Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Also I have no idea without seeing any of it for real, but if that tracklist board was in order then I do sort of see a theme running through the titles, not a heavy concept like AI or 21CB but maybe a vague one or something. That could be total bullshit though, I don't even know the actual tracklist or lyrics yet so it's too early for that. You can find a concept in any album if you try hard enough so yeah. I think there might be a thin story line going through the albums. But more in a sense of a collection of songs that fit perfectly together per each album. I think that's one of the key factors that can make a solid album. And that's probably also the main reason why all of Green Day's albums are really good. They have not always had (or even needed) a story line, even though it worked extremely well on American Idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beathe. Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 The cover is fine, I don't really care so much about it. I'm just excited for the songs and a new tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elena Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 OR they make all of the songs on Tre even more dirty! I wouldn't mind. oh yeah ...i think no one would mind that Is it just me or is there some resemblance? Yes? No? Maybe? haha oh god, that made my day ...and yeah, it has a resemblance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjrules Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 I'm very happy that (about to sound old) young people still appreciate album cover art. I think it will be a dying art form as the digital era has people using things like Spotify to listen to music. Don't get me wrong, I love Spotify and use it all the time I just think there will be consequences and album art as a serious art form will fall to a certain extent I think. Of course some would say it never was much of an art. Yeah, for some reason I absolutely love getting the booklet of a new album for the first time, and following along with the lyrics and everything. It's probably one of the main reasons that I still actually buy physical albums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie, get your gun Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 For the people that changed their ava for the new cover: you all look amazing! 8) I just saw one of the pics with the papers and realized that "Stop When the Red Lights Flash" is the same as "I'll Make You Surrender"?? Woooohh... can't wait to hear that My main reason for liking the cover is that it's the opposite of their last few covers. It's just Billie Joe's goofy face and that's all it needs to be. Exactly! And finally they did a cover with their faces on it (I expect for DOS & TRE to have Mike and Tré) so we still know "how the hell they look like" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disapperingirl Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 What about Amy?? Didn't see it anywhere in those tracklists...and if Billie "is" Uno, Mike Dos and Trè...Tre ( ), I'd see it fitting only in iUno!... Maybe, since they already posted the lyrics and everything, it will just be a b-side?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think it could be nice to have a simple recording of it as a hidden track, a kind of a recording like All By Myself, which was apparently recorded at some party.

I love that song! yeah i'm serious...i even already have that song on my mobile phone in a pretty decent quality I think you worded that perfectly. But I think it could be nice to have a simple recording of it as a hidden track, a kind of a recording like All By Myself, which was apparently recorded at some party. thank you yeah i agree...i love that song and i definately wouldn't mind if they released it ...and as a hidden track or a b-side it could work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disapperingirl Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 yeah i'm serious...i even already have that song on my mobile phone in a pretty decent quality Well that was on of the risks of listening to the songs from the secret shows...now for sure some people lost interest in songs like Carpe Diem or Stray Heart that we could already hear, and wait to listen to "newer" ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heather. Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 I think if they're putting Drama Queen on it, Amy should stand a chance. (Isn't Drama Queen about female celebrity stuff like Jessica Simpson being exploited?) Amy is a more beautiful song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bastard of 1967 Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 But in reality, my favorite albums are the ones where there is an explosion in the crowd, or a chick holding a gun, or stamps that say Nimrod over Eisenhower and Truman. Of course the one where Billy has a shit eating grin and his eyes Xd out, isn't that bad OR D I F F E R E N T. I think the cover art's making a very simple but important statement: we're still here, we're having a blast, and (most importantly) this trilogy is going to define a separation from what we've done before. It visually captures (at least what we can guess from the hints they've dropped is) the sound and style that they're shooting for -- The neon pink and green with the concentric circles is right out of the 60's 80's, so I'm taking that as a signal that the Foxtubs sound they've been experimenting with (or at least elements from it) is gonna be all over this thing...in fact I think this may be the *least* punk they've done since Warning, and I'm expecting more of a sonic blend between classic and modern rock, and rhythmic stuff that Mike and Tre haven't shown us before. Kindof like the Partridge Family meets the Sex Pistols. Anyway, back to the art -- Billie with a BSEG on his face is just, well, so perfectly Billie...and then there's the crossed-out eyes that nod to the connection between what they're doing now and the AI/21stCB/AAF era that they're now exiting. EDIT: Oh shit. I just realized I've been sucked back in to the GDA vortex. It seems to happen every year right before a new tour leg when I want to see what's what. I end up spending/wasting way too much time discussing Green Day. Lol. I suppose there are worse things to be doing. We missed you -- glad to see you back!

solongfromthestars Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 I know it's great to not know anything and for it all to be a surprise or whatever, but too late for me and I think Stray Heart sounds amazing too. I'm just as excited to get a studio version of the song I think sounds awesome as I am to hear the songs I've never heard. I really hope it's on one of them!
