Joe. Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 My initial reaction is that it's just a bit too poppy for me although it's not a bad song. I think this shows the depth of RR which is a good thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if so, it will be difficult to fight off the sell-out arguments. The album was produced solely by Green Day. The "co-writers" didn't even know about the song credit until now, meaning Billie likely just sampled from another song and took the legal steps necessary to use it. He has done it before.

Hopefully the rest is super good like these singles have been! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a little bit too much of an effort to sound like everything else these days, but the chorus is magnificent. Some of Billie's best singing right there. If this is co-produced, I will be very disappointed. And if so, it will be difficult to fight off the sell-out arguments. Seriously? Almost 30 years of career and they still have to "fight the sell-out arguments"? Mah. Anyway, I'm just playing SB, BB and RR in repetition. Gosh how I look forward for this fucking album, if the rest will be various, deep, beautiful, catchy and rad as these three songs it could easily climb my personal Green Day best of chart. I completely understand some of the critiques to this song, but I just love the variety we have so far, an amazing songs choice to present the record IMHO.

GenXIdiot Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 OMFG This song is beautiful. The lyrics are at once personal and meaningful to Billie Joe, while still conveying a message that everyone can relate to on some level. Quintessential Billie Joe lyrics, at his best. And his singing is his best ever, just beautiful on the expansive melodic phrasing of the chorus, especially . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerjeezus Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 I am very pleasantly surprised with this song, I didn't expect very much from it when I read the reactions. It's probably the first Green Day song I've experienced as "new" that I didn't doubt or feel disappointed in, likely because of the low expectations. I absolutely love how different from typical Green Day it is - I like them best in not-so-typical songs and experimenting. It's power pop like Uno but much better. I might have a problem recongnizing them if I heard it on the radio and that's what I wanted from revrad - a new, different sound, something they haven't done before. Also, Billie's vocals sound stellar in it. I'm incredibly happy to say that as vocals were the low point of Bang Bang for me. The lyrics don't feel half-assed either, they are different from his usual style but in a good way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LostCanadianGoose Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 My number of listens is well into the double-digits now and my only complaint (which is an incredibly minor one) is that it ends a little to abrupt for my liking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuitarPunk94 Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 okay i read through all the pages and its very interesting to kinda experience the third song of revrad with ur comments gonna listen to it in +-1hour, cant wait!

.Holly Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Fuck me sideways, I can tell this is going to be one of my all time favourite GD songs. I loved this immediately on first listen, can't say the same for BB or RR, although they've grown a lot on me. I'm so glad they've branched out and made something sounding completely different, I think it's good to have such a variety of reactions rather than "woo classic Green Day!". It reminds me a lot of Blink or yellowcard. Really digging it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spider man. Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 I'm so glad I read a lot of this thread before I listened to the song, because it had me convinced that I was going to hate the song. It's definitely different and I can definitely see why people don't like it, but I personally love it. It wasn't what I was expecting at all when I first read that he was writing a song about his addiction, but I'm still pleasantly surprised 7 hours ago, strangestat said: beginning of the song kinda reminds me of this: Yes!

tresexy101 Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Dear Mr. and Mrs. Green Day, Please stop releasing songs. I cannot control myself and I have to listen to them. I would like to listen to the album in full and enjoy the songs as if I've never heard them before so I can cum out of my ears. Don't leave me with blue ears. Thank you.
