Jesus of Seneca Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 does anyone know where you can listen to the new ordinary world? Cause I can't find it and I'm getting annoyed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stories and songs Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 I love Back in the USA. It's nothing super new or remarkable, but it feels like some good, cozy Green Day music with great lyrics. It's the type of song that makes me feel like I'm home.

Their voices just simply don't gel. Give me Norah Jones instead! This. The Grammy's live performance was better than OW new version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stories and songs Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Miranda's voice does not sound good with Billie's at all. They're not really harmonizing? It sounds like they're trying to sing the song two very different ways and it doesn't sound right. When they sing "but what we have is more than enough," it sounds kinda awful. I LOVED Billie singing with Norah Jones. Their voices mesh beautifully. But this one is a no-go for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DookieLukie Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Hmm. Back in the USA is decent. Way too short which makes it feel rushed. Seemed like one of those tracks Billie made by himself in the studio. Production and vocal filter completely kill the energy. The chorus is deflating compared to the rest of the song. Ordinary World 2? Miranda is pitchy at times. I like the guitar part and Billie's vocals. Sounds much more country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimmyChunks Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Two listens of Back in the U.S.A. and it's completely stuck in my head. Must be Green Day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now the Greatest Hits is reminding me of International Super Hits even more. This is the new "Maria" and "Poprocks and Coke" . Back in the USA has an American Idiot sound to me. Also all the lyrics I see has "bitter year" where I am only hearing "woo hoo hoo". Are they really saying "bitter year" after nearly every line????? The song gives me chills, particularly the pre-chorus about crazies on parade and lemonade.....man, I love that line. I can't help but think this song could be insane live when they play in the states.....even with the lyrics that are critical, people could interpret it differently and it could be a chance for people who think they are anti-American to see them in a different light. Hmmm. Possibilities is all.... This song could really be a call to arms for Green Day fans of all walks of life. A winner for sure! I'm still processing my first spin of Ordinary World.....I was expecting them to do separate verses than each other, not harmonizing the whole thing. But I'm sure it will grow on me. Overall I am pumped about this release, although I've got to say I wish there was a deluxe version with all their singles collected in one place. And 2000 Light Years Away just sort of being tacked on is weird when they omitted so many great tracks. But I get it, I understand what this is and it'll be cool to have. I'll probably download the new songs and ask for the physical disc for Christmas since I actually have people that buy me gifts now! QUESTION: Are any of the other songs different version as in shorter, longer, radio edits or anything? Now I"m going to go back and listen some more. I’m the one who started Bitter Year this morning on the first video posted. I heard “Bitter Year” clearly :/ I’m sorry if it’s wrong, and misleading.

Zebahar Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Although this is just a greatest hits album, this is everything that I have ever wanted Green Day to do with an album. Leading up to the release, they had so much fun posting silly little ads and instagram pictures with #blessed. It just felt like they were so proud of this concept of "God's Favorite Band" and they ran with it and it was such an enjoyable ride. And then we get this beautiful music video that tells an actual story, not just them playing with some random shit happening in the background. It had a clear message, it had some humor, and it had all the boys in it. It almost makes me sad to think that I had more fun with the buildup to a greatest hits album than I did for Rev Rad, but I hope they do something like this for their next album because it was one hell of a ride Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JardyOfSuburbia Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 YAS. Best video they've done since 21st Century Breakdown. I dig the song too. This video made me really happy.

Yosuke Hanamura Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 After finally hearing Back in the U.S.A., I can finally say that I love it. Though honestly I get vibes of "The Anthem" by Good Charlotte in the guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BucksCoEric Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Very pleasantly surprised with the music video. Most videos i watch them one time or maybe twice and move on like i did with bang bang, revrad and still breathing, though im gonna watch this video a bunch.

It’s definitely better than any video from RevRad. I’d say the best one since 21CB (i still think that one is their best ever) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlissaGoesRAWR Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 A scruffy Billie sipping coffee and reading a newspaper. A fancy suit and tie with shades. Then a tie and suspenders with rolled up dress shirt sleeves? It’s like this music video has every version of Billie I could ever need in my life. I don’t even mind the hair gel and sweater vest. ... plus it’s got some Trump-bashing! Honestly though, fangirling aside, I really like it. It’s the first video I’ve watched since the 21st Century Breakdown era that I didn’t have to convince myself I liked — I immediately did. It’s funny, relevant, has a story, surprisingly doesn’t come off as cheesy and depicts the song well. Also, it’s funny that the money turns into a “This is your God” message. Amen.

gaslight13 Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 I'm listening to the full album now on Spotify just because I was curious if the older songs would sound any different, and I just realized this now means "Oh Love" is on Spotify AGAIN. I can't escape this song. It already comes up 10x more than every other song in their catalogue and now there's more of it. It's haunting me, haha.

Joe. Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Back in the USA is good, the guitar sound is so much better and gives the song a better feel. That being said I do agree with @DookieLukie that god damn vocal filter needs to go, I've not listened with decent headphones yet so can't comment on production, however if it was self-produced I assume it's poor as luke said Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
