Let me just start with saying that I don't mind reviews being less positive than others. If there are bad things to be found about a record it should be said, as well as good things. But anyway, your posts tend to always carry some amount of negativity and those reviews you've been sharing with us kind of remind me of your posts.

Then you should try reading posts properly before you make assumptions because you even quoted the link I posted to the website the review came from Also I've been posting on this site for years and 90% of the time I only post pictures in the instagram thread but the minute I post that I dislike something the band does half the forum turns on me. It's pathetic. My posts don't "carry negativity", they are mostly image posts or in the past week I've made some comments about not liking a few songs (the horror, the horror) but some people on here need to seriously adjust their ability to deal with people who have different opinions to them. I mean just look at the reaction to my posting the first review that literally was in my news feed this morning Ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DookieLukie Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 I think "Outlaws" is the "Brutal Love" of this record. Didn't expect anything special from it, but it's a masterpiece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
End Of The World Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Anyone else comparing Too Dumb to Die sound to Nimrod? It really seems to be one of that powerful tracks. I mean Nice Guys Finish Last, Jinx or The Grouch mixed to a kinda Fashion Victim chord progression. Anyways, I think Revolution Radio it's a pretty mature album compared to the Trilogy. I feel that desire to listen to the full album in the middle of the day. This didn't happen with Uno, Dos or Tre. I didn't expect much but GD this time IMO gave their very best since American Idiot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The incredible thing is that in the bridge, when Tre plays the toms and Billie and Mike make power riffs, it reminds me of Muse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeJennsitized Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 "Green Day may have have twisted the dial a little, but at the end of the day, Revolution Radio sounds like just another Green Day album." It...IS another Green Day album. Who the fuck writes these Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stories and songs Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 I feel like I'm listening to a different album than some of these reviewers. I'm very confused by the critique that it's "safe." Which songs, seriously, are safe, typical Green Day songs? Bouncing Off the Wall, Youngblood, Too Dumb to Die, and Revolution Radio are the only ones that truly harken back to past albums. Bang Bang is far more aggressive than what they've done in recent years and is a controversial topic, so that's not safe. Even Still Breathing, which is definitely radio friendly, isn't necessarily safe as a Green Day song, because it's a new sound for them. They definitely expanded their horizons with Somewhere Now/Forever Now, Outlaws, Say Goodbye, and Troubled Times. I feel like I'm missing something that these reviewers are hearing. And then to say, "Meh, this is just an OK, typical Green Day album." Well every time they do a concept album now people go, "Oh geez, Green Day's at it again with their gimmicks" so yeah, this time it's a regular Green Day album. I usually don't read reviews for books/movies/shows/music I enjoy because I don't like the idea of most likely a non-fan telling people how to feel about a piece of art. I guess I should do the same with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blasting Out the Stereo Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 I've tried and I've tried and I've tried some more but I'm finding it really difficult to enjoy this album. I have never been bored listening to Green Day but.... I just don't get some of these songs: they feel uninspired, often plodding without any strong riffs coming through. The lyrics lack substance and can feel really weak at times. The over use of similes and metaphors feels really heavy and awkward. The only real part I have liked is the bridge on Still Breathing - but the verses in that feel like a boy band song. The tone of the verse guitar is awful. I love Green Day - I have all of their albums and the BJA signature Junior guitar I love them so much - but I'm just sad that I don't like this new offering. I know others are liking it and that is amazing - and I'm not knocking anyone enjoying it - I'm more disappointed for myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Did anyone rip their CD to iTunes yet? I just did and it says "Forever Now: I. I'm Freaking Out/II. A Better Way To Die/III. Somewhere Now (Reprise)". Just thought that was interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SynthwaveTrooper Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Took a motorcycle ride and listened to the whole album 3 times, feel in love and came home to order the vinyl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
