Second favourite son Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Listening to A Day To Remember's new album, then I put Bang Bang on. Wow that's a lot of compression. Can't believe it took me so long to notice quite how much there is, but the contrast just makes Bang Bang feel a bit meh. They just about got away with it, but it could've sounded much better with a little less, at least IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, I vastly prefer lossless AIFF over compressed MP3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd imagine it'll be better in a physical format. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semi-automatic lonely boy Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 found a really interesting cover. interesting, cause i like when covers are done in a different style and it adds something. i especially like the piano bit during the chorus. makes me think a swing version or something similiar would be awesome, too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaded in Chicago Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Was also gonna say that this is the best they've produced since 2004. Hope there's more like this on the album! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It definitely undermines some of the power of the songs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platypus2000 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Does anyone think all the static sounds at the beginning of BB is a follow on from Somewhere Now, similar to ChumpLongview or...? It just seems odd to release a single that has an intro like that which takes 18 seconds to get started properly... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was just listening to BB/RevRad back to back earlier and the idea came to me, just seems like it could be a trio of songs that fit really well together! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It definitely undermines some of the power of the songs. You can see why they've gone to Scheps; that blast of volume really is something. But I think they could have achieved a similar effect without taking away from the overall depth and power of the songs, and that someone else would have been a better choice to achieve that. It doesn't matter so much when you listen to Bang Bang alone, or next to revrad, but I really did notice it next to a powerfully mixed/mastered song. Doesn't kill the song for me, but frustrates me that it could've been even better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNICORN VOMIT Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 The song was just on the radio & the announcer said this song is like red bull for your ears - he's got that right. Love this song so so much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Bang Bang has a definite ending, so it doesn't lead into RevRad. Also just found this on Youtube 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can have songs that don't lead into each other directly but still have a good flow to an album ...

I am so sick of bands that take the lazy way out and fade the final chorus of the song till it ends and ugh, its just hard to appreciate songs like that after spending so many years with Green Day. Don't get me wrong it works really well for some songs as singles but when you want to experience an album, it mostly just feels cheap to me. One of the many things I love about Green Day is that off the top of my head I cannot think of one song by them that actually ends like this, they always seem to have a definitive ending to their songs and then they usually set up the next song perfectly. I absolutely love the seamless transitions that they also do and I really hope to hear some more of them on the new album. Anyway, I still can't get over Bang Bang. I still listen to it more than Revolution Radio and it is just so... badass, Easily one of the best singles they have ever done. I hope there are at least a few more songs like this on the album.

Longview fades out but it has an ending when they play it live. I've never really heard a 'fade out' song by another artist being played live. Do they have to make up an ending? Do they walk away from the mic as they're singing and gradually turn the amps down? I've always wondered about that kinda thing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always wondered about that kinda thing Yeah, I also thought of Words I Might Have Ate, but still that's only 2 songs that I can think of and it's mainly in their really early material. I'm pretty sure the Living on a Prayer by Bon Jovi official single is fade out but they just kind of made an ending when they played it live, which is all well and good but it does nothing for me when it comes to listening to albums in general and setting up the next song. Green Day have always been amazing at that in my opinion, but I guess that's because unlike most bands, Green Day usually fully fill their albums with hard work and quality.

Lone Posted September 26, 2016 Author Share Posted September 26, 2016 This is where you can discuss the second track off the album. Lyrics (This is definitely not the first video to surface of an execution. ...of men, they claimed responsibility for the executions. Described as severely mentally disturbed. Videos show another hostage executed by the terrorist group. Deserve to be annihilated.) I get my kicks and I want to start a rager I want to dance like I'm on the video I got a fever for violent behavior I'm sweating bullets like a modern Romeo (Bang bang!) (Gimme fame!) Shoot me up to entertain I am a semi-automatic lonely boy (You're dead!) (I'm well fed!) Give me death or give me head Daddy's little psycho And mommy's little soldier I testify like a lullaby of memories Broadcasting live And it's on my radio I got my photobomb I got my Vietnam I love a lie just like anybody else (Bang bang!) (Gimme fame!) Shoot me up to entertain I am a semi-automatic lonely boy (You're dead!) (I'm well fed!) Give me death or give me head Broadcasting from my room And playing with my toys I want to be a celebrity martyr The leading man in my own private drama Hurrah! Hurrah! The hero of the hour Daddy's little psycho And mommy's little soldier I want to be like the soldiers on the screen It's my private holy war Oh baby baby this is viva vendetta For this is love or it's World War Zero! I want to be a celebrity martyr The leading man in my own private drama Hurrah! Hurrah! The hero of the hour Daddy's little psycho and mommy's little soldier I want to be a celebrity martyr The leading man in my own private drama Hurrah! Hurrah! The hero of the hour Daddy's little psycho and mommy's little soldier!
