So far I'm thinking it won't be that different from it . I mean obviously it's different subject matter and different production, but musically I think it sounds pretty similar (quite simple and with a bit of a rock and roll sound) and even the lyrics have that snappy one liner thing going on, sounds like a continuation along the same line rather than a tangent from it (as if they've taken their cue from songs like 99 Revolutions and are going further and harder with it). An album with a sound not too far from the trilogy's only with harder production and political/social commentary lyrics sounds promising to me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Seagull Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Revolution Radio and Ordinary World definitely sound like songs that could make it on the trilogy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, especially revrad. Personally, I'm not too psyched about this fact but if it was on the trilogy, I'd consider it one of the better songs.

Revolution Radio would have been a perfect fit on Dos, and possibly a lead single. I'm not sure about Ordinary World though, that seems to have a new vibe. I'm sure there will be similarities to the Trilogy on RevRad, but it'll likely be its own thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if you're saying AI and 21CB are "political all the time" but if you are, you're dead wrong. On AI, only the title track and Holiday are political. 21st CB is probably more political but still not that much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chin for a Day Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 3 hours ago, Hermione said: I like the lyrics a lot. To me it follows along from Redundant and Church On Sunday as an honest/realistic type of love song, I especially like "The kids are alright, alright as they'll ever be" and the nostalgic verses. I've seen a few people say they dislike "You will always be my sweet 16" (thinking it's about 16 year olds and is corny) in the past, but knowing it's just a reference to his 16th anniversary I don't see anything wrong with that part either. Sounds pretty too. I have to disagree completely with this. Church on Sunday is absolutely brilliant and feels real. Sweet 16 is just a maudlin, cliqued ridden song that sounds like it was written for the Hallmark Channel movie of the week. The melody reminds me very much of songs you would find on kids variety shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalkingContradictionPL Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 RevRad isn't "tubish". Imo it might me on Tre, yet Tre is perfect even without RevRad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stefand11 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Defs wouldnt fit on dos...neither of the two songs released would fit nicely on any of the trilogy records. Bang Bang and Revolution Radio seem much darker mainly in subject matter...the trilogy has some dark songs but not in the same way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we can agree to disagree 🙂 Not all the songs on Dos were like foxboro (Lazy Bones, Ashley) and its just my opinion anyway.. Besides, the trilogy had a few other songs that were like foxboro that weren't on Dos (Troublemaker, Fell For You) Green Day incorporates a lot of different styles on 1 album.

Guess so, since I don't see Fell For You being tubbish at all ahaha and even though I do think Lazy Bones isn't tubbish, Ashley totally is.

Hermione Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Yeah maybe not so much Dos, but the trilogy does have songs going in that direction lyrically (eg 99 Revolutions, Nuclear Family) which the new songs could sit along with fine. I have them in with the trilogy on my mp3 player and they fit very nicely. 9 hours ago, Scattered Wreck said: I have to disagree completely with this.

But I don't think the lyrics are cliched, instead they're more realistic talking about the old times which were not a traditionally romantic situation, and the current times not being perfect but "alright as they'll ever be" etc along with just a bit of the unashamed romance stuff, and that offsets any corniness for me. Matter of opinion though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, then that's not a good reason to put it on that album. It doesn't fit with any of the songs on that album. It would probably fit the most on Tré somewhere around Dirty Rotten Bastards and 99 Revolutions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Potter. Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 He even screwed up the entire flow of Dos with his placement of Revolution Radio. The transition between Ashley and Baby Eyes is seamless and great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already conceded that lyrically it doesn't fit, but if you listen to Ashley, Revolution Radio and Baby Eyes together, you'd see that it fits nicely, especially the tempo.
