Sarahnade Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Bang Bang is still my favorite of the two, but Revolution Radio sounds really good. If these two tracks are an accurate indicator for what the album sounds like, then I'm stoked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W_FInkThePlatypusHunter Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Loved Revolution Radio! It's like 21 CB and Pinhead Gunpowder had a beautiful love child. I haven't scoped through this whole thread but I think the lyric is "Cherry Bombs and gasoline, debutants and surgery..", although I thought it was air guitars for a couple listenings.

But just the lead single and what is probably the second single is OK for me, still another 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clayish Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Everything on here is actually pretty good except for that chorus. Reminds me of that awful 'No Future' chorus on Blink's new LP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I'm not fussed on is the call and response on "the truth" part, it sounds a bit rushed but I'm liking it more the I listen to it.

Being a black man I can totally relate to this song and what's been going. Will it be my favorite on the album we shall see. I'm really gunning for somewhere now as my favorite song though.

What's the meaning there? i really haven't taken any time to dissect the lyrics to this but it's my understanding that this song is about the black lives matter protests. the "say their names" thing has been a big part of the BLM movement so i kind of took that line as if people do say their names and put them in the headlines, they aren't forgotten, ie bulletproof. i'm not sure if i'm really explaining this well but that's my take on it.

I get what you are saying. I think. It is like the opposite of mass shooters, the news people have stopped saying there names, s othey won't be remembered. It is trying to take their notoriety away. This is saying their names so they will be remembered so that everyone can see who the victims were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DookieLukie Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 My initial interpretation is that the effort put on to support and rally around the black victims in itself cannot be killed, aka bulletproof. Or like...his love and passion for the issue can't be destroyed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spark in the night Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Not that they're gonna leak another song in 2 weeks, but I vow not to listen.l to another one until after the show. I would probably like them better hearing it live first anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThranaM Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Why have there been no 'promoting' before the release of this single? Kinda thought they would try to push it out the majority and with a release date since it's the album title track Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armatage Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Listening to the song for the second time. Not so sure how I feel about it just yet. I need to sleep on it and listen to it tomorrow many more times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semi-automatic lonely boy Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 i think it's way to basic in melody. it's so unsurprising and sounds like you've heard it 1000 times before. the lyrics are surface level and seem simplifying and cliche. a song for 14 year olds in melody and lyrics, and on top of that it sounds like a b-side. the only good things about this song: the intro and the guitar sound of the solo. bang bang: 9/10 revolution radio: 3/10. way less hopeful for the album now after hearing that song. 99 revolutions, a comparable song in lyrics and tempo, was even exciting compared to this. the melody is just so fucking plain, borrowed in the verses from extraordinary girl. just put this song on any existing green day album and it would be one of the weakest. no edge or anything interesting at all. this really sounds like a childrens song, especially if you listen to songs like no pride or stuck with me beforehand. if i had to put my finger down on what is essentialy wrong with it: green day always sounded different from the other boring pop punk marketing ploys you hear. this would fit right into a playlist of blink182, good charlotte, simple plan, all time low, 5sos and that other plastic bullshit. so for those enjoying those bands: you will love this song.
