I'm not exactly sure, but I do see that some people on this forum did access the album through a code from IN0either because they renewed their membership or bought it for the first time. Said code appeared an hr and a half after midnight for me. I guess we have to see what more people say, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StuckWithDom Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Went straight to JB Hi Fi straight after school today and bought Revolution Radio. There were posters up and stacks of the CD's and Vinyls, with apparently a lot bought today. Fun times! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjrules Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 I'm actually quite shocked that Still Breathing isn't a favourite of a lot of people here. Honestly, go and listen to Restless Heart Syndrome, Lazy Bones, and the Still Breathing. The emotion of Still Breathing hit me so strongly after listening to those two songs that I was nearly in tears. Such a great track, and it's so great that Billie has gotten his life back on track after the dark times he wrote about in Restless Heart Syndrome and Lazy Bones.

Private Ale. Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 I remember saying Outlaws is not one of my favorites.Or thinking..Anyway,i was wrong.It is one of my favorites. May be the second or smt. You know that good feeling when you can't choose your favorite song of a great album.I feel that now.Bouncing off the wall is the coolest for how happy it makes me and how great it is . Happy album release day GDC! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doggins Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Picked up the CD from JB today (dont even have a cd player anymore) Surprised by the lack of advertising or hype. Not a single poster, not even on the featured racks at the end of the aisle.. just 2 copies sitting in the shelves There was a blackboard at the register with upcoming releases and no mention of RR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixtrix Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Shit, the album's already on my phone. It must have been automatically downloaded last night. Still waiting for my CD for the first listen though.. I pray to god it will arrive today and that it fits through the letter box/mailbox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Met Fan Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Superb album, very happy with it. Only things I can complain about is the production and mixing, I really don't like how at several points at the album they use the volume drop gimmick, or suddenly burying the vocals in the mix. I realize they're probably intentional but I just don't like it and don't think they're good choices. I hope they don't fully self produce again in the future.

Hero_Of_The_Hour Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Green Day Revolution Radio Review Slant Magazine Green Day's Revolution Radio is the band's most concise effort in years, as it's essentially their first standalone, concept-free album since 2000's Warning. In spite of this, it manages to survey almost the entire bag of tricks the group has pulled from over the past 25 years. The dynamic, Who-ish opener “Somewhere Now” favorably recalls American Idiot's distinctly puffed-up bombast, which was tempered by a personal, emotional core—and that album's narrative ambitions are echoed when “Somewhere Now” is reprised during the penultimate “Forever Now.” When that bombast crosses over into 21st Century Breakdown-style melodrama on “Outlaws,” however, it's less appealing, especially since the cheese factor belies frontman Billie Joe Armstrong's professed nostalgia for his rebellious youth. Fortunately, “Outlaws” is an anomaly on the largely streamlined Revolution Radio. Lead single “Bang Bang” is hard, fast, and angry to a degree far more redolent of the angsty Green Day of the '90s than the elder statesmen they've become. The title track is melodically cheerier, but no less of a rager. Armstrong indulges his ever-present mid-'60s power-pop fetish on the energetic and infectious “Bouncing off the Walls” and the “She's a Rebel”-esque “Youngblood.” These songs are admittedly indebted not just to the band's influences, but previous incarnations of Green Day itself. The best songs on Revolution Radio, however, transcend their derivative nature thanks to their undeniable melodicism, and are tied together, despite their ostensibly disparate styles, by Tré Cool's grenade-like tom fills and Armstrong's guitar tone. The latter continues to sound like it was painstakingly created in a lab somewhere, compressed and processed enough to please general audiences unaccustomed to too many rough edges in their music, but retaining just enough gnarly crunch to not completely alienate punk purists who continue to linger among Green Day's fanbase. Armstrong's tendency toward the big, loud, and obvious is less convincing when manifested lyrically as opposed to musically, at least compared to American Idiot's compelling political-is-personal sketches. His politically minded writing has gotten increasingly ham-fisted, which is saying a lot given that one of his most famous lines is “Sieg Heil to the President Gasman!” He's fine when tackling low-hanging fruit (portraying a deranged mass shooter on “Bang Bang”), but without a character to play, his statements range from muddled to groan-worthy. “Give me cherry bombs and gasoline/Debutantes in surgery,” he rails on “Revolution Radio,” seemingly contradicting the nonviolent ethos of the Black Lives Matter movement that the song purports to support. “Where's the truth in the written word if no one reads it?” he asks on “Troubled Times.” It doesn't help that the album's most overtly political songs, like “Troubled Times” and “Say Goodbye,” are also its most dour. There's something to be said about a white guy of Armstrong's profile speaking out so virulently against America's culture of violence, racially motivated or otherwise. But on Revolution Radio, his more personal songs are far more endearing. On “Too Dumb to Die” and “Youngblood,” he delivers snarky one-liners about his lifetime of fuckups and his apparently equally snarky wife (“Are you broken/Like I'm broken/Are you restless/She said, 'Fuck you, I'm from Oakland'”) that suit his snotty, stuffed-nose sneer better than stone-faced political proclamations ever have. http://www.slantmagazine.com/music/review/green-day-revolution-radio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hermione Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Bought the CD! I was going in to buy it a bit pissed off knowing it's not a proper case, because I was thinking it would have a thin spine without "Green Day Revolution Radio" on it and wouldn't look good in a rack with all my other Green Day CDs. But it doesn't! It has a normal spine with the writing. Still would've preferred a proper case rather than a cardboard one where the CD can just fall out (like, are they trying to make sure even less people keep buying CDs?), but it's OK. Anyway the cover actually looks quite cool, with just the burning radio on a black background and no text it's quite striking. Artwork in the booklet is pretty cool too, and I'm really going to enjoy being able to read the lyric booklet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thatsername Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 My first thought after listening to RevRad twice: I love you's not enough, I'm lost for words.

Tubbie Head Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 WHOO release day! I won't be able to go pick the album up myself but my sister will bring it home after school. Problem is she only comes back after 8.30 pm D: But I will wait because I want the first listen to be my traditional GD album release ritual <3 Can't wait to join you all later!
