I just can't stand the whole call and response thing "we call lies THE TRUTH". It's easily the worst part of the song Expand Call and responses can be pretty cool if done right. And they didn't do it particularly well here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestboundSign! Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 I'm digging it! Gotta say I kind of prefer Bang Bang, but Revolution Radio is definitely a great song. It's very melodic and catchy. I also agree that you can hear nearly all sorts of Green Day eras / albums somewhere in the song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand or at least if it is, they use it similarly to Bang Bang instead of just copy pasting it into the song randomly. This track doesn't really give the response much room to breathe. It's too immediately after the call. It feels weird and rushed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan86 Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Cool surprise to come home to. Found a download pretty easily. I like it, it's not overly ambitious or anything but a good album track. I like that this song follows bang bang on the album, so listening to it straight after bang bang gives you a small feel of the album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 On 9/8/2016 at 3:29 PM, CrimsonArk said: So it's a perfect second single despite the fact that it's worse than the previous single? If Bang Bang ends up being one of the BEST songs on the album then that doesn't really inspire much confidence in the quality of the overall record. For all intents and purposes, Bang Bang was a fairly middle of the road Green Day track, nothing particularly "classic" about it. At this point I'm starting to really feel like Green Day is on the decline in terms of their creative output, if these two tracks are anything to go by. Fluctuating between mediocre and okay but never actually being consistently good to great. Expand On 9/8/2016 at 3:32 PM, CrimsonArk said: Yes, you are overanalyzing. It's literally just Billie recycling shit. Again. Expand Do you have any friends? On 9/8/2016 at 4:57 PM, DookieLukie said: Now we get this poppy song and Ordinary World, both of which sound like Billie didn't learn from the Trilogy. Expand What was he supposed to learn? I mean, Green Day has been writing "pop" songs since Dookie came out in '94...so I don't really get your point there. If you look at what they have done with/for this album, I would argue that he DID learn something from the Trilogy because they did almost everything completely differently. 12 songs instead of 37. They self-produced in instead of having somebody else. It was kept pretty much completely on the DL whereas the Trilogy had updates like every other day it seemed.

Obviously, Billie wants his voice to sound sweetly and childishly using many effects. The best example is 'Lights Out'. The genuine voice we could hear on 'Foreverly' with Norah Jones, for instance 'Barbara Allen', Mechanical Man or the cast version of 21 Guns. it sounds soft and natural Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmcloughlin Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Just listened to it for the first time. I like it, but not as much as I did after hearing Bang Bang for the first time. The drums in the intro reminded me of Murder City which is kinda cool I'm gonna give it a few more listens before I give it a mark out of 10. I'm surprised they've released another single so soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
