Popular Post holden_caulfield Posted January 17, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 17, 2020 (edited) To be honest, the new songs aren't doing much for me, but then they aren't written for me. Billie, Mike and Tre wrote them for themselves and maybe as a fuck you to everyone else, and that's punk at its basic level. Doing what you want to do and not caring about the reaction or reception, it doesn't get much more punk than that. It may not sound as the 'old' Green Day did, but, in terms of punk, the mentality of the music is 100% there and you can't deny that, even if you don't like the songs.

Popular Post DookieLukie Posted January 18, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 18, 2020 Green Day has the right to go in whatever direction they want. We either support that product or not. I'm just thankful to Billie for the Longshot record. Those songs were classic Green Day sound with good variety in style and instantly clicked with me. Left me wanting nothing more. They are very close to my heart for whatever reason, and my favorite material since AI. That tour was incredible as well. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post realDonaldTrump Posted January 18, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 18, 2020 no ones a purist, were bothered by lazy writing and production. and stop saying this is experimental, it’s a step backward, not forward. i just wanna see billie write songs like a man his age would, he’s a brilliant songwriter. i read lyrics on nimrod and warning and they’re beyond his years. it simply just doesn’t make sense. 10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The change lyrically and in maturity of sound from Longshot to Father of All is jarring. He put more effort into a side project material dump than the new GD record. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DookieLukie Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Something I noticed from "Oh Yeah!": a lot of the background funky sounds (probably from synths) are the same as what was present on the past few Weezer albums. Lots of similar stuff in poppier tracks on Pacific Daydream. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t believe people are lapping it up. I’m sorry that some of us hold them to a standard but this is below par. People can laugh but I’m being serious. “Yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah” “bulletproof backpack”. People reading into the lyrics like it’s a sacred text 😂😂😂😂 awww nooo they hurt your little feelings by making music you dont like anymore? I should have known they had been writing music for you this entire time! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude do you remember when 21st Century Breakdown was coming out and in the interviews Billie was saying stuff like "With this new album we have to start showing the world who we really are, being honest about ourselves, how we feel? Right now I feel middle aged". So what's the deal? Was the 21CB era the height of Green Day being honest and putting out the music that they want to make? I honestly don't know what the fuck is going on anymore because if that was the case then what on earth are they doing right now? besides trolling, obviously... PLEASE DEAR GOD BE TROLLING. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be nice if you could not sound like you think we are all disagreeing with you and respect everyone’s views. Eric, I take it all back, I’ve just come from Shreiking Shack’s new thread and you Sir, are clearly a saint compared to them.

Popular Post Ben773 Posted January 18, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 18, 2020 It's pretty simple for me really. I like every green day album to date. But I don't like the songs released from this album so far, hopefully there is something I enjoy from the rest of the album, or future music. I don't feel like they owe me anything, it's their band they can do what they want. Just stating my opinion... not grabbing me 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just stating my opinion... not grabbing me Personally, I don't care at all when my favorite artists release something that I don't appreciate even if all of their songs would mean so much to me. Green Day not like that though. I've first started listenining them last year, had no idea about them before that. So, I don't have any particular expectations from them but it's also honestly the same for artists that I see all of their songs part of my whole life. I usually prefer teasing them tbh rather than seeing as a serious thing lol cause their past albums still there and I dissociate them from each other, don't think as a whole. It's just my personal view of course, not everyone has to be like that but it's a lot easier in that way imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legendary Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 This new record is clearly influenced by Butch Walker pop ways, and that's was we feared when we discovered about that he will be the producer. Don't know why GD accepted work with Butch knowing about your crap work with rock bands, make them sounding poppy as fuck... Until now, I don't know If Green Day choose or Crush suggested him, but I think it was a sad choice. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post CherryBombs&Gasoline Posted January 18, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 18, 2020 Not liking the new music is perfectly fine. It doesn't automatically make you a rock purist. At the same time, just because one of us doesn't like the new songs, they're not trash. Life isn't black and white. There are different opinions. People can listen to whatever they want. No need to judge them for that. This is the music Green Day want to make at this point in their career. I'm still hesitant, but that's ok. So if you don't like the new songs, don't say that they are shit because there is no universal truth. But also don't judge those who don't vibe with the songs because people have different preferences and that's ok. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DookieLukie Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 I can't help but think that everything GD has put out recently would be better with improved production. Some AI vocals and snarl. The mixes have been so messy, jumbled, and grainy. I put the new song on a mixtape and the production really stands out next to some other, excellently produced, clearly mixed songs. The new songs just lack the punch and balance between the instruments of AI or Nimrod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
