There are really some great tracks on it and I have to admit, I even like the producion and the mixing but there are too many filler songs to make it outstanding good.

It's less of drag compared to the former and less heavy, whilst retaining the great lyrics of the operas (particularly Somewhere Now and Forever Now). Agreed. I have to do that with just any record. The first listen is always kind like "what is this, what am I hearing" and then second and third listen I get my favorites picked out, and then it keeps getting better or worse from that point. But yes, this is a great record. 4 hours ago, Hero_Of_The_Hour said: I'm glad you found a deeper meaning because I still think they're ridiculous. It's obvious what he was trying to say. For example he was trying to find a cause to fight for but failed. But really is the best he could muster "Looking for a cause Well all I got was Santa Claus" It's laughable. And I'm sorry but the cello line still makes no sense. How exactly does he feel like a cello? In fact the lyrics in nearly every song are silly or nonsensical. Take a read of any of them. Individual sentences make sense but overall verses when you put the sentences together just are stupid. Here's just one example Concrete dream I am gonna make a scene radio Covered in gasoline Sleeping in reverse And everyone’s bouncing off the walls Or how about we look at a few lines from Somewhere Now I got a scene in the middle of the road I’m gonna take my time I shop online so I can bolt At the speed of life I am like drum way up in the sky I am the shooting star There’s a soldier that’s freaking out P.S this is war One line at a time makes sense. Put them together and I find myself saying what the fuck out loud. I feel like a cello sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrimsonArk Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 2 hours ago, pisquano said: Even if I don't understand why he keeps making at least a couple of songs in every new record with that minor fourth (to the point that everything in Outlaws is too much predictable), I quite like the song because it is a good attempt to explore new territories. I can't stand BOTW instead. Verse seems to belong to (the worst moment of) Uno! and I hate that crappy melody he uses in "radioooo". The chorus is Horsehoes and Handgrenades, they didn't even change the key. Lyrically, I find the whole record a bit repetitive and recycling ideas from the past. Overall I like RR (I'd give it a 6.5/10), I think it has a good sound and there definitely are standouts (Bang Bang, the Who-ish opener and Forever Now with that impressive chorus that reminds me of Sweet Jane for it has almost same chords progression and rhythm); it's probably their best since AI. I agree that BOTW isn't amazing, but the band feels more together and coherent writing and performing that type of song versuses something like Outlaws (or The Forgotten, Restless Heart Syndrome, or Last Night On Earth etc.). It almost feels like a parody with them. They're never subtle with that type of song, they don't ever really display much in the way of restraint. In the case of Outlaws, it just feels like an excuse to play with the loud/quiet dynamic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the transitions and all, but I really don't think the first part is very memorable. Currently, Bouncing off the walls and Outlaws are being played most often. I do understand the criticism about BOTW though and I agree with it (the riff is really a deja vu), but for some reason I dig the chorus more than enough to look past that.

stories and songs Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm actually on par with Kerrang's excitement over this album. And they're so damn dramatic most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin1 Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 I think it's still a bit early to tell, I'd need another few months to know for sure, but if I HAD to rate them, it would be: 1. American Idiot 2. Dookie 3. Warning 4. Tre 5. Uno 6. RevRad 7. 21CB 8. Nimrod 9. Kerplunk 10. Insomniac 11. Dos 12. 1039/Smooth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All this talk about cello's has got me thinking about Weezer's El Scorcho, haha. It's a line from Too Dumb to Die. Back when we were all judging the songs by their names alone I thought it was going to be bad. But weird lyrics and all, it's in my top songs from the album.

Kaddi. Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Hadn't listened to Too Dumb To Die before. It's quite nice if you don't really pay attention to the lyrics, I guess. But that chello line must be one of the worst lyrics ever written. Like wtf?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's so ridiculous to say that, but it just mashes all my favorite parts of Green Day together that I can't help but smoosh it right between 21CB and Warning. Because it's their baby. 1. 21CB 2. RevRad 3. Warning 4. AI 5. Kerplunk 6. Nimrod 7. Dookie 8. Insomniac 9. 39/Smooth 10. Trilogy Same for me, RevRad it's my second favourite but... AI #4?

Between the titles for Too Dumb to Die, Bouncing Off the Wall, and Troubled Times, I was trying to lower my expectations. But don't judge a song by its title, I suppose. @Stefano Bras My love for Warning triumphs even over the greatest of punk rock operas, yes. Ya'll, the lyrics in Too Dumb to Die aren't THAT weird. I love the verse about his father so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve56 Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 As a 20+ year Green Day fan I am sad to say this is the first thing they have ever done that I don't like. The three songs Bang Bang, Rev Radio, and Still Breathing are cool but the entire rest of the album is a giant waste of time. No idea what they were thinking with this at all. By FAR the worst thing they have ever released. Pre-ordered it obviously to add to the collection but I will just be shelving it when it comes in the mail.
