MaraGreenDay Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I feel offended when someone says they didn't like this album, now I know how a lot of you feel when someone says they don't like Insomniac lol. To me is so good that it's actually my second favorite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St. Jonny Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I guess I can see why someone wouldn't like Insomniac if they weren't born or were only 1 or 2 when it was released. I don't think you will find anybody who lived through that crazy Green Day era who would say they didn't like it. Undeniably amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first time I listened to 'Outlaws' it really bugged me because I couldn't remember what song it sounded like, and I couldn't just enjoy the song. lol!

MikeDirntConfused Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 This is extremely difficult for me to admit, but here it goes: I actually like this album. Not every song, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOG Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 I'm trying so hard to get into this album, but I think it just sucks. Forever Now is really good, but other than that, it was a let down... Writing is bad, production is bad, mixing is bad... Damn, Green Day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St. Jonny Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Aww they didn't impress you upon the first listen? Like a lot of fans, you were just expecting too much. They did a hell of a job! Anything BUT a let down, and I love raw music that is not overproduced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO they did the best thing. An album not too much raw (like Dookie, Insomniac and Nimrod), but at the same time, not too similar to AI and other recent albums. They could decide between a political album (AI) or continue on the path of the Trilogy. They did both. This album is the arithmetic mean of all their works, having anyway its own and particular soul. RevRad is exactly what I wanted to listen from GD.

AmyxLongview Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 After having the album for 2+ months I really think it's one of their best. There's not a song on here I don't love. I also appreciate how the album showcases their raw talent by not having outside producers and other people working on it. Definitely one of their top 5 best albums for me!

Plus, I love that they tried so many different things musically on this album. I think it is one of their most musically diverse if not their most musically diverse album. I think it shows alot of growth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clockwise Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 My current favorites are Outlaws, Youngblood and Forever Now. It really already feels like a classic GD album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowhere Man Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Talking about disliking or skipping I tend to skip BOTW, it has no emotion on me. Lesser version of Know Your Enemy which I already don't like too much. Same goes to Revolution Radio (99 Revolutions with AI-sound) except for that aggressive intro. Also I usually to stop listening to Outlaws at some moment not because it's bad but I find it way too long (you need to be in a special kind of mood to appreciate all its power and nostialgia). Everything else I just love. Troubled Times grew on me (the guitar melody in the chorus and the bass in the verses are very well done) and Youngblood is too fucking catchy and fun too hate it.
