They've only had one hidden track in the history of their career so can't be too surprised :P

Yeah, wasn't really expecting one tbh, more just hope due to the lack of bonus tracks :P

Crazy how things change. Billie sounded like an old man going through a midlife crisis on the Trilogy, singing about sex and parties. But in BOTW he's literally speaking from the POV of his younger self and it comes off as super genuine and clever.

THIS. There's a level of honesty and maturity in RevRad's writing that is quite special. And it's not "mature" in the 21CB way (which I had zero problems with, but I know Billie thought it was a bit too dark and depressing). It's mature in that it's reflecting on the past wistfully without making the present seem like a bad thing. The lines "How did life on the wild side ever get so dull/full" are two of the best on the album, I think.

I think the subjects he wrote about in the trilogy were things he needed to get out of his system, but this album feels like him. Writing about his life and the people he loves and the subjects that matter to him. He sounds like himself again. :happy:

I highly approve of your use of Dean Winchester gifs :cool:

I have to admit Outlaws is dragging a bit for me now. Still better than Wild One but it might end up being one I skip 😳

You know, I keep not even factoring Bang Bang, RevRad, and Still Breathing into my opinion of the album because I'm not at the point where I can include them with the others naturally yet. But considering those three along with the rest of the album? Holy shit. This album is incredible, 10/10, renewed Green Day's contract to be my favorite band for a few more years. :lol:

I can't explain how happy I am with this album! Listened to it at work for the first time with a huge grin on my face. They absolutely fucking nailed it. Love the variety and how they've evolved and explored their sound. BB, RR and SB aren't even close to my favourites. Absolutely loving Somewhere now, Say Goodbye and Forever now. This is probably going to be my favourite album except for AI. This is close to their best work ever. So happy :dance::dance:

Another opinion of mine on this album, is that it's 21st century breakdown 2.0

Agreed. 21st Century Breakdown's little brother. 

I HATE to put a downer on things...but does anyone think this could be their last album? I mean, they are hitting that age....

What age?  The Who, The STones, Bruce Springsteen, etc are all in their 70's or at least close to it.

No. They are 44, not 74... :lol: They are healthier than ever, they love music, they love their fans and I think that they have a lot to offer in coming years.

Yeah but I meant for the type of music they make, I can't imagine them doing this sort of stuff when they're in their 60's, of course, they could completely change up their style but I can't imagine them doing anything else that will appeal to me, only time will tell I guess.

There's a sound associated with all of their albums. With this one, when someone says "I dig the sound of Revolution Radio", I don't know what they mean. There's about 12 different sounds on this record.

I don't think many people will say that anyway. This album is like GD's California.

Few bands are as good at adapting their music with age as Green Day is. A song like Somewhere Now isn't something that could've been achieved in their 20s. I think they'll continue inventing and evolving as they always have. They don't strike me as a band on their last leg whatsoever. In fact, this is like the third fresh start of their career.

Can't put it quite into words yet, but I think RevRad definitely has a specific sound. I know the songs are unique from one another, but there's definitely something connecting them. In my opinion. :) If you say "I like American Idiot's sound" that could mean Holiday or Wake Me Up When September Ends, which are two very different songs. Saying you like 21CB's sound could mean the title track or East Jesus Nowhere, which sound nothing alike. Saying you like the Trilogy's sound could mean Brutal Love or Fuck Time. Church On Sunday and Macy's Day Parade are totally different. Etc. They almost always have diverse sounds on one album.

If they are going to end up like Iggy Pop, I'd rather they retire now to be honest.

Say goodbye chorus has been on my mind whole day , it's different in a good way.I usually hate woah parts but i loved it there.

Too dumb to die got better on the second listen.

Bouncing of the wall sounds so fun , i love it."Concrete dream" and i start dancing.Love the guitar work "da da da da da HEY!"

Still not caring about Youngblood .may be lyrics will come and they will be effecting like Church On Sunday ,then i can dig it?? don't know.
