tomdsjames Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Just listened to the album in full. Turn Me Loose and Soul Surrender stand out on the first listen but I really like the whole album. I think this is a very strong album considering it's just a side-project, I don't usually get that into the non-Green Day stuff Billie does but I could easily listen to this on repeat.

Christian's Inferno! Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Best songs to me are The Last Time, Chasing A Ghost, Happiness and Soul Surrender 10 minutes ago, dudley dawson said: NME says it’s Billie Joe’s best album since American Idiot... http://www.nme.com/reviews/album/longshot-love-losers-review No way would I agree with that. The trilogy is better. RevRad is better. And it doesn't even compare with 21CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squashie Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Not sure I agree with "best since AI". It's a strong album and I'm really enjoying it as a whole (morning dance party while getting ready for work), but 21CB is miles above this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inthehallwaynow Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 I love this album so much what a fucking fantastic surprise! The Last Time is my favorite but everything is really better than I thought it would be. Oh! the order of the songs is great too. Gonna be honest I think I might like this more than RevRad and that scares me haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The song is about problems in a relationship not addiction. It fits the whole love is for losers concept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jengd Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 The whole album is just awesome, you can hear Billie Joe having fun with this. Totally a FXHT type vibe. Favs so far are Turn Me Loose and Happiness. BJ strikes again, I can’t remember not having the chorus to Happiness in my head. At sever risk of bringing down the gods, in the context of the whole album I don’t have a problem with the filters/effects and love the whistles and laughs. @Todd, I have a good quality version of Highway 1 and I will either have got it from ITunes, Amazon or the download section here, don’t know which now. I find Amazon sometimes has things tucked away which aren’t on iTunes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squashie Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Soul Surrender and Turn Me Loose are pretty much on repeat for me right now. I just wanna have a dance party in my office. Damn, it's times like this that I wish I had real walls and a door and not cubicle walls. Edit: Body Bag is growing on me. I think the youtube version was bad quality and made the vocals muffled.

JReevz Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 So here is an interesting quote from 2016 about Billie and his vocal filters: "To get that sound I’ll often just sing through a Shure SM58, and then tweak it later in Pro Tools. Or, I’ll sing through an amplifier. I love distortion on my vocals— even just a tiny bit to kind of make it a little more gritty. That’s probably because it’s the sound I remember from years ago, when you’d be doing shows with no P.A. and singing through someone’s guitar amp" I wasn't huge on the vocal filters either, but after reading that the process to get the sound is something as creative as singing through a guitar amp I respect it a lot more musically. Also it's makes much more sense that the guitars and his voice line up sonically.

Montclare Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Listening at work. First thoughts- 1. I'm thoroughly happy. Co-workers are probably wondering why I'm sitting here with a big stupid grin on my face. 2. "Too Dumb to Die" seems to be Billie's new go to phrase. First SD&V, then TDTD, and now Happiness. (I need to get my hearing checked) 3. I know everyone says Longview for the opening to Turn Me Loose, but the very, very beginning of the drumroll reminds me of the opening to the Monkees' theme.
