Because he is purposely trying to be contrary to be a pain in the ass.  Just ignore him and he will go away. 

i think he's pretty nice guy when it comes to GD's old stuff BUT it's soooo childish when he's downing other people's opinion on th Album...if he doesn't like it..fine move, listen to old stuff done is that hard to do? oh well, as much as i hate seeing someone hating on an incredible album, opinions are opinions, but it's annoying when they ram it into other people's ass...wait that came out wrong

Not usually a fan of slow Green Day songs, I wasn't keen on outlaws when I first heard it, but it's grown on me a lot. The lyrics and emotion of the song are really hitting me hard now.

I love the lyrics.
"We destroyed suburbia, when we were outlaws"
It's my adolescence! Out with my band, drinking booze and going to see other bands live and after every gig it was joints and sex and then other beer..

Ok too many memories :cry:

Wait I thought they didnt play still breathing. Is it from another concert?

 

It was from last night in New Jersey. They were supposed to play it in Ohio, too, but they changed it to Minority after playing the first chord of Still Breathing. Which I found it interesting that they also followed up Still Breathing last night with Minority. I wonder if there's any reason they're pairing them up other than the fact that Still Breathing is more of an emotional song, and Minority will get people pumped up again?

Possibly. I think they are still testing and tweaking stuff.

I'm so stoked that Green Day and Against Me! put out two class A rock records out in a row. They should definitely do a tour.

He's not, he is doing this on purpose.  Ignore him

Westbound Sign off Insomniac about Billie's girl moving from Minnesota  - Young Blood has a similar lyrcial vibe about it 

Yeah I think maybe it's looking back to that time. I also think of Westbound Sign as being a sequel to 2000 Light Years Away (even has a nod to it with "2000 miles away-ay"), I guess this makes it a trilogy :D. Reminds me most of She's a Rebel though, especially "Are you stranded, like I'm stranded?"/"Are you broken, like I'm broken?", and just with the pace and theme as well.

I like all the nostalgia on the album, there and most notably in Outlaws and Too Dumb to Die. When I listen to Outlaws it makes me start thinking of all the stories of their silly antics when they were younger I've heard over the years :lol:

Absolutely underwhelming record, doesn't sound anything like I thought it would at all. You'd think after the trilogy flopped there would be a different sound at least! It sounds pretty familiar to the trilogy. The vocals still sound overproduced and there's nothing really that interesting here. Aside from Bang Bang, nothing here grabs me. I'll give it the fact that it's more consistent than the trilogy, but I even think the trilogy has more interesting songs on there as opposed to here. I like Bang Bang, and Still Breathing isn't too bad, but I don't really see myself listening to this more than a few times. Maybe it grows on me, but I don't think there's enough substance for me to actually grow to like it.

It's not terrible - but man is it disappointing. I'm a long time fan, and I know they are capable of so much more than generic pop rock like this.

I haven't written yet :D just few words

I LOVE REVRAD

loud guitars, great melodies and fortunetly, they didn't polish the songs, it's harder. I can't complain about the production, to me it's great :D I love BOTW, TDTD, BB, Forever Now Ordinary World (so beautiful without vocal effects). I probably like Outlaws the least, Still Breathing is still mediocre, but I orginally hated it. 

RevRad met my expectations, 8/10

@Hermione Yeah continuing the conversation here before I get warned. Youngblood is just fun and I think Revrad needed a song like that placed in. Not everything has to be so serious all the time! Definitely a stand out track for me! :)

Just caved and listened to Somewhere Now. 

:runaround:

I'm blown away right now. It's so different, and yet, so Green Day. FREAK OUT!!

Right. No more. I told myself I'd wait...

Yeah and it's not like it's just silliness either, seem to keep mentioning this one but "she's the cedar in the trees of Minnesota" is a such a good line. Really cute love song.

You are correct, GD has plenty of stand out silly tracks, but Youngblood is just seriously cringeworthy.  The lyrics are so cringeworthy, I would put this song in the bottom 10 of GD songs ever.  Musically, it is fun and catchy.

Did anyone else notice the phrase "forever now" is said in Outlaws but not in the song Forever Now? 

Also, I listened to the album back to back with Tre yesterday (my favorite from the trilogy) and it completely blew Tre out of the water :)

Sorry you feel this way and can't look past its "cringeworthyness" you say it has. :/

They just picked a title that sounds cool, it seems.

Well I mean, isn't that what most bands do? Revolution Radio is a more attention grabbing title than Somewhere Now. Picking a title that sounds good is standard.

It's his thing unfortunately

I don't know. I honestly don't know what to tell you, but notice it being brought up every day since it was leaked. Don't be a Steven :P

Out of all the titles Revolution Radio sounds the best. like it would be weird if they kept the name of the album Bang Bang lol

I'm starting to hear more of the social commentary that earlier we all thought was missing.   When I hear "Say Goodbye" all I can think about is innocent people getting killed by cops. I was probably one of the folks talking about how the early released songs weren't powerful enough lyrically to justify the album title.  I was wrong.  We were wrong.   This album is so powerful and has strong messages.  They are just don't beat you over the head with it.

I'm with you, this is the one dud on the album for me. Skip it.

That was a freakin' low blow.  I didn't realize people weren't allowed differences in opinion
