PursuitOfEpicness Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 I was believing the four star review until I saw Fire, Ready, Aim in the top 3 as well, yikes! I'm just so nervous for the album but trying to stay optimistic. I already hate the producing from the first two songs, if he messes this up... Butch Walker can "suck my cock".

KGLWW Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 I feel like people need to give FRA more of a chance. Once you get past some of the production, it's not a bad song. It too me awhile to get into it, but it's pretty good. Sort of like the know your enemy of this album, but I think it might actually be better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sort of like the know your enemy of this album, but I think it might actually be better I agree, it’s a cool song, it makes me wanna bounce and smile every time I listen to it And there’s actually a quite lot going on, despite the simple song structure, I love the synths for example! It’s totally understandable that some fans not love it, but I do prefer to have a new KYE sounding like this to a new KYE sounding like KYE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Dude Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 4/5? Screw you, it's a damn 5/5 and you know it! There wasn't a negative word explaining the rating. Maybe the usual "this isn't American Idiot" comments could be considered not-positive. Dunno. This sounds delicious. Is that suck...line a lyric or just the attitude?

Beerjeezus Posted January 14, 2020 Author Share Posted January 14, 2020 9 hours ago, MillenniumFan said: Indeed, although the author seems to indicate that Butch Walker has definitely had his pop imprint on it, since he seems to mention "pop", "glossy" and "glam" several times. Well let's see, I suppose one really good thing about this album is that it seems they're not taking themselves too seriously or trying to be pretentious. So, even if the rest of the album is as disappointing as the front cover or FRA, I don't think it'll bother me that much in the end. If Butch Walker's production is prominent on the record making it glossy and pop while it could be perfectly good garage rock, I'll be more disappointed than if they made a simply bad record than something I'd normally love but now it'll be just so-so due to a sound I hate (eg: FRA).

Verycool99 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 I’m fine with them making a good rock n roll/power pop album, its always good to see Billie’s poppier side in my opinion. As long as the lyrics are decent and the production is good then im happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redundantuserjinxboy Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Q giving them a 4/5 doesn't say much to me. I mean don't get me wrong 4/5 is good any way you slice it, but Q magazine is basically "the green day" magazine. It would be more suprising to me if they gave it a 3 or lower. I guess at the very least it's a fun album. Them giving FRA all that praise is a little concerning to me I guess. I like the song and all but if it's one of the top tracks then....eeeh. Them mentioning Butch Walkers pop influence on the album scares me but I guess we all already should have known that. Take the money and crawl sounds fun lmao.

Ouh damn, yeah that would actually also annoy the fuck out of me too. Although again, the fact that this is such a short and clearly to some degree piss-taking record would still weaken my disappointment quite a bit. But either way, yeah I seriously hope Butch doesn't fk this one up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenalert997x Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 The problem is that Billie in interviews desribe foamfs as if it was in-your-face death metal 😂 I really don't like the way they talk about not giving a fuck and so on xd We got 2 songs that have strong contemporary pop vibe, especially FRA, which has nothing to do with being revolutionary and feeling angry. When it comes to foamf I really got used to the falsetto. I think it's actually a good road trip song. And so what if the rest songs will have an old-school rock hints and kind of feel, when the whole production turns out to be polished, with soft guitar sound and Billies altered voice xd I don't trust this review, they're good at describing in a colorful way using a lot of comparisons and epithets, but it's not reliable.

Yeah, I see they're not taking this super seriously and I try to do the same, but I'd still be sad, because seeing something I like being fucked up is just sad. In case this happens, my backup plan is that hopefully they play them all live so I can make a live album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
