Do we know who the producer is this time around, if there is one at all?? I agree, fresh objective ears would be a really great idea. 

WE don't, the only thing was that one picture Billie posted of him and Will.i.am.  That would just be too awesome.  But agreed, hopefully Rob is too busy running Warner Brothers.

I'd be happy if they self produced for the rest of their career, but a new producer could be interesting.

I disagree on the self produce.  I think they need someone to be an objective ear and tell them if something sucks or not.

Completely understand that too, I'm just a fan of the direction it goes in with just the band and Rob. My least favorite major label release is 21cb and I can't help but feel that Butch Vig's contributions are the reason. It's always a toss up with someone new, it might be worth the risk, but as someone who loves their output unfiltered it makes me a little nervous.

I actually love 21CB, I think that Butch took them in directions Rob never could and he got Billie's best vocals, ever.  But, not just GD and Rob, but in general, I think that if you work together too long you tend to lose objectivity.  Especially when that working relationship has turned into a friendship.  As much as there are alot of things I like about the Trilogy, what I don't like about it is the lack of growth.  Up to that point, I feel they have grown, maybe just a little, but grown with every album.  You can blame Billie's addiction issues on it, but I also think a stale working relationship also contributed.  So I think they need a new producer to have an objective ear and hopefully start to grow again.

Yeah that makes total sense, I don't necessarily disagree with the idea that maybe Rob isn't challenging them anymore. I do believe the trilogy showed growth, albeit not leaps and bounds. It just went in a different direction from 21CB. I personally would be happy for them to carry on the growth from the trilogy. Things like Brutal Love, The Forgotten, even Kill The DJ and Wow That's Loud show them experimenting and growing. When it boils down to it though, I have confidence in the band regardless of if they the get a new producer. And I still love 21CB, it's just my least favorite haha. So I'm welcome to an outside voice, but I don't think it's essential I guess.

Actually you are correct, there is songs like Brutal Love, etc that show a growth factor.  I guess there were just alot that did not.

I would really like Butch to produce the new Green Day album. It would be really awesome if they would record on tape, like he did with the Foo Fighters on wasting light.

I don't know about their relationship with Butch. I remember I got the impression Billie was kinda awkward thanking him during the rock n roll hall of fame induction. It could be me though.

I still don't know why some people say they went back to their roots with the trilogy. It's got a completely different sound.

You see that profile pic? It says princess, that's how Green Day should treat me.

Well there's no way to please everyone, but I have an idea -

 

3 albums. One is a throwback to the Dookie sound. One is kind of like a new Foxboro Hot Tubs album. One is kind of like an epic sounding Green Day album.

How does that sound to everyone? :P

The albums are much more simple. American Idiot and 21st Century Breakdown were just overdone. And songs that are overdone are boring.

The trilogy is very boring to me.

Edit: AI and 21CB are also their 2 best albums imo.

I think the new album is going to incorporate new elements and revisit that which give Green Day their distinctive style.  I also suspect it's going to be more epic in scope, maybe another concept album, but looser than AI. It's going to have:

1. Experimentation like Kill the Dj, Nightlife, etc; something completely new and off the wall but with better, more meaningful lyrics.

2. A running concept throughout:either a story line or a theme (politics, redemption, sobriety, whatever. )

3. At least one 10 minute epic song...they are so great at these. Even Dirty rotten Bastards was pretty cool.

4. A Beautiful, huge ballad with piano. With good, meaningful lyrics! 

5.Kick ass rock/punk/punk pop songs a la Nimrod.

6. A new guitar Ballad

You'll never win that argument with Seagull

Something like good riddance would be lovely, but not something that tries too hard to be 'good riddance 2.0'.  New is a keyword here.

Literally because while the album was being made it was falsely reported in several articles that the band had said they were going back to their roots with it. They never said that and it doesn't sound like that, but the idea stuck.
