I also like the album. Cannot believe some people are saying that the trilogy is better.

UNO was good, DOS was ok, TRE' can suck it. Rev. Radio is far Superior

Been listening to this album a lot over the past few days, and I still don't think there's a single weak song on it.  There are songs I like more and songs I like less, but no actually weak songs.

Trilogy is good.  Revrad is better.  I love both of them.

LOL well yes, Tre the person does rock. But I do think Tre the album is the best of the three tbh. But mahbe that's because Brutal Love is my favourite trilogy song.

edit: fuck this isn't the trilogy thread. REVOLUTION RADIO IS FUCKING ACES

I mean, Green Day have a lot of albums and there's always going to be people who like each of them more or less than others, people have different tastes so I never find it surprising :P. I love both but I think they're hard to compare, there's similarities between them but overall a very different theme/aim, plus a trilogy of albums is so different to a standard 12 song one, so I don't know if I could say which I prefer. Now that they have 12 albums I think I'll have to give up trying to rank them, it's too difficult :lol: 

Just want to express my love for the end of Say Goodbye. It is so fierce.

I feel like I'm listening to a different album than some of these reviewers.

Yeah, me too. What's bugging me most about some of the reviews I've read in the last couple of days is that many of them over-emphasize that the band members are growing old, with an undertone that they've left their best days behind and that you can't take them serious anymore, as if they were senile or something. I mean, hello, they are in their mid-40s, and isn't 40 the new 30? It's not like they are 80 years old, and even if they were, that doesn't mean that older people have nothing important to say, on the contrary. Isn't it experience that makes us wiser and even more interesting? And isn't experience the most important thing to shape the future? (Well ok, mankind has never been good at that one. "What part of history we've learned when it's repeated?", right?)

I honestly don't get what some people expect from them. I really think we got a great mixture of personal and political themes on RevRad. And yes, there is some nostalgia, but having nostalgic feelings doesn't automatically mean that you're about to enter a retirement home! :lol: I feel like "GD is getting old" is just a lame excuse for the inability to find a meaning behind the songs.

But, well, everyone can like and dislike what he wants, so carry on, reviewers :D

I listened to the album on my old boom box last night. There are so many catchy tunes on there, I absolutely love it from start to finish. Fuck my computer, old boom box all the way.

You should try lighting it on fire will listening to the album.   It would ruin your copy but it would be Rad!  And who knows, maybe it unlocks the secret bonus track.

Do you guys think they'll do some bonus tracks/material for this album? Maybe even a new concert movie?

Concert video, yes. They did one for the last two great tours. I'm pretty certain they've recorded more songs than they've released, but because the Japanese edition doesn't have any bonus tracks, I don't know if they'll release them any time soon.

RevRad > Uno > Tre > Dos in my opinion!

Yes, more or less is the same for me.

RevRad > Tre > Uno > Dos. I don't know why I don't like Dos that much...

I absolutely love that record, my only regret is that some songs are too short to me like Bouncing Off The Walls and I wish that the record were longer with 2-3 more songs.

In one interview recently I remember him saying he only wrote like 20-30 songs this time as opposed to the 50-80 he normally does

Rev Rad is fantastic. A return to form for the band. These songs are strong and intense and have the bite that the Trilogy was lacking. For the record, I thought Tre had the strongest songs on it out of the Trilogy. I know many on here think "Sex, Drugs, and Violence" is one of the worst songs they ever recorded, but I think the verses were good. Needed a better chorus. I think we're all on the same page about Dos being the weakest record.

Hmm. I wonder if we'll get another Shenanigans. There are so many great b-sides and unreleased songs (Too Much Too Soon, Governator, Lights Out, Hearts Collide) at this point from AI, 21CB, even the Trilogy and possibly RevRad.

No we are not. Dos is my favorite of the 3.

Is there a clean / edited version of Youngblood and BANG BANG out there?   Is there a clean version of the album?

I would love it if Spotify made an edited version on Youngblood so I could add it to my worksafe list! 

 

i am still listening to only this album and no other music. Sometimes I skip around, sometimes I listen straight through, sometimes I repeat a song the whole way to/from work. I'm so proud of them. it just feels like the honest and perfect reflection of who they are as musicians and people right now in this moment.
