There's always the 19th anniversary tour to look forward to I wonder if they're doing the KROQ show this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like a more accessible East Jesus Nowhere, which was never one of my favorites. Troubles Times and Too Dumb to Die were fine, but forgettable. I was pleasantly entertained by Youngblood considering all the hate on here. It started off weird but was really fun! I thought Youngblood was great musically, but the lyrics are cringeworthy. That ruined it for me. I thought SAy Goodbye was far too repetitive, but otehrwise a great track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killsometime Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 It's great to finally listen to all of Revolution Radio as a whole. Even if it leaked which I was hoping wouldn't happen, but it happened. After listening to the whole album, I believe the first half is excellent because of songs such as Say Goodbye or RevRad. However, the second half of the album is good, but not as strong in comparison to the first half. Except for Ordinary World which is one of the best tracks on the album.

Maddie86 Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 after a 2nd listen I definitely like it better this time around. I like forever now a lot and I like Ordinary World a lot too, I could see that one being a single Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott34 Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Like many on here, first listen I didn't really like it. Second time through and I'm starting to appreciate more parts of it. Troubled Times is easily my favorite track. Such a fucking amazingly haunting song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur_Rhuan Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Fantastic album. Somewhere Now it is amazing, it is remarkable inspiration in The Who. Forever Now, at the end, revisits Somewhere Now magnificently. Troubled Times and Say Goodbye are just fucking good and fucking awesome. Youngblood is as if the Beatles and Green Day had made a jam session. Too Dumb To Die is very fun to listen to, reminds me of the style of the latest album from Paramore. Outlaws is one of the most beautiful and nostalgic songs I've ever had the pleasure of listening. Ordinary World closes perfectly the álbum.

cabot_girl Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 First listen: it sounds a bit strange to me... Its all the different "effects" that I don't like much..i prefer straight vocals, guitars, bass and drums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chin for a Day Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 The first time I listened, I listened on my phone. Right now I am torturing my children by blaring it on the stereo. Much better on the stereo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unextraordinarygirl Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 On my second listen. God I really love Somewhere Now and Say Goodbye so much. I am listening to the lyrics more and Say Good Bye has upbeat music but the lyrics are sad. I just realized that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noahhaon Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 This is just fantastic.. exactly what I wanted from a new Green Day album, and most importantly: the urgency and energy is back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeJennsitized Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Okay i'm going in!!!! Somewhere Now: Wow at those Who vibes. Sounds like a Behind Blue Eyes/Quick One (their cover) mashup. I like how this one builds. Say Goodbye: Holy shit, that intro made me squeal Love the guitars in this one. It's so dark, wow. Outlaws: I hear the similarities to Wild One, but I like this one better. It reminds me a bit of Dark Side of Night in the verses too. Bouncing Off The Walls: This is like Troublemaker with heavier guitars, which is a good thing! Solid song. Youngblood: More hand claps Aw, this is a cute song. I feel the 60s vibe with this. Too Dumb To Die: This is just so Green Day. I hear influences from all previous albums. Troubled Times: This song has major Fallen Leaves by Billy Talent vibes and that's one of my favourite songs. LOVE this! Forever Now: Omg that Somewhere Now reprise! I'm digging this one. Beautiful. "I ain't gonna stand in line no more" Ordinary World: Lol this song is super cute. And I love Billie's voice in it too. Overall, and on first listen, a really great album. They've got the classic GD sound in there whilst also trying some new arrangements and little effects, and I like that. I can see why it could be jarring though, if you were expecting anything like they've done before. I really love the guitar sound in this album, especially compared to the overall blandless of the Trilogy's. I definitely need a few more listens, and the lyrics would help too as I concentrated mostly on the music this time round! What's interesting this album also is that Billie isn't using a character to write behind, it seems so much more personal than any other of their albums this decade at least.

zeebodaclown Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 first time through.....Troubled Time is a fucking masterpiece and easily my favorite of this record the melody reminds me so much of a Beatles song, but I can't quite place it...maybe, "While My Guitar Gently Weeps"?

michel_ale Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 I listen for 5 times and the music it´s solid, louder and better than 21CB , Say GOODBYE it´s amazing and fresh , to dumd to die is like a dookie style a like it but somewhere now and forever now it´s fucking awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In an Ordinary World I'd walk to the end of the Earth and afar In an Ordinary World Baby I don't have much, but what we have is more than enough Ordinary World Mmmmmm, mmmmhmm Where can I find the city of shining light? In an Ordinary World How can I leave a buried treasure behind? In an Ordinary World Baby I don't have much, but what we have is more than enough Ordinary World Mmmmmm, mmmmhmm" As you can see, some lines were harder for me to discern than others, so if anyone has any further edits that might make these lyrics more accurate, those are welcome EDIT: Changed a verse in "Too Dumb To Die", thanks to u/carrotprincess! EDIT2: Made some changes to several verses from "Say Goodbye", "Bouncing Off The Wall", Youngblood", Too Dumb To Die" & "Troubled Time"! EDIT3: Better formatting! Not sure how to arrange the ending of "Forever Now" since there's so many overlapping vocals during the last chorus, I APOLOGIZE For Youngblood, it's "she's a cedar in the trees of Minnesota", not "sinner".
