Yes, FRA is less than 2 mins.

The only thing I don’t like about it is I feel like Tre looks like Elton John. Just me?

I thought he looked like "the emo version of Ted Cruz"  

[Little Boy Named Booze]

I seriously hope it's a good song. I don't want the 3rd single to be the baddest AND the longest.

Its not english though. Theyre talking about Graffitia for example:

Sie haben in der Vergangenheit sehr ernste und politische Alben wie „American Idiot“ oder „21st Century Breakdown“ gemacht. Haben Sie sich in spannungsgeladenen Zeiten wie diesen bewusst gegen politische Songs entschieden?

TRÉ: Ich finde, wir haben es uns verdient, eine Spaßplatte zu machen. Wir gönnen uns das jetzt einfach mal. Natürlich ist uns das alles bewusst: Faschistische Staatenlenker, Rassismus und eine politische Kultur in Amerika, die total aus dem Ruder gelaufen ist. Aber „American Idiot“ ist immer noch da. Man kann das Album hören und sich freuen, wie aktuell es immer noch ist.

BILLIE JOE: Die politischen Inhalte sind auch jetzt vorhanden, aber sie sind eher subtil. Im Song „Graffitia“ geht es um Fabriken, die im Rust-Belt der USA geschlossen wurden, und um schwarze männliche Teenager, die in Chicago von Polizisten erschossen werden. Der Song „Father Of All Motherfuckers“ dreht sich darum, wie es sich aktuell anfühlt, in Amerika zu leben mit all der Hysterie und Paranoia. Was bei uns gerade passiert, ist deprimierend und auf lange Sicht toxisch für das Zusammenleben. Aber einfach nur einen Song zu machen, der „Fuck Donald Trump“ heißt, wäre, auch wenn diese Worte unsere Haltung wiedergeben, nichts Neues gewesen und außerdem zu offensichtlich
 

Well thank God for google translate, because this is very interesting:

 

 

You have made very serious and political albums like "American Idiot" or "21st Century Breakdown" in the past. Have you made a conscious decision against political songs in times of tension like this?

TRÉ: I think we deserve to make a fun record. We’re just going to treat ourselves to that now. Of course, we are all aware of this: fascist state leaders, racism and a political culture in America that has got completely out of hand. But "American Idiot" is still there. You can hear the album and enjoy how up-to-date it is.

BILLIE JOE: The political content is still there, but it's more subtle. The song “Graffitia” is about factories that were closed in the Rust Belt of the USA and about black male teenagers who are shot by police in Chicago. The song "Father Of All Motherfuckers" is about what it feels like to live in America with all the hysteria and paranoia. What is currently happening to us is depressing and, in the long run, toxic to living together. But just making a song called "Fuck Donald Trump" would not have been new, even if these words reflect our stance, and it was also too obvious.

Oh yeah, a toast is in order 🍾 we’re only 1 month away from Father Of All…

Speaking of Oh Yeah, that drops next week on 1/16. OOOOOOH YEAH!

[That Dude]

So "Oh Yeah" is the "Homecoming" of this record at a whopping 2:51!!!!!!

What inflection will it have? Is the title a question, an exclamation or like a lightbulb going off atop your head?

Will it be a lyric?  Part of the chorus, prechorus, verse?

It's not one of the explicit tracks either, right?

Hmm.

Hmm.

Anyone able to resist listening until the album drops?

I can't do it.  I am weak.

That's just as long as Hitchin' a Ride. It doesn't seem that bad.

I’m guessing it’ll be chorus/post chorus and just be “yeah, oh yeah oh yeah” repeated

And then at the live shows, it will be followed by, “SAY HEEEEEEYYYYYYY OHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!”

I'm cautiously optimistic. It's not that I havent enjoyed what we got so far I'm just ready for the GREEN DAY song of this era. I hope this is a banger. 

The first two songs seem to imply that it could be there now I'm ready for it to punch me in the face.

I think this may be the one where people go "okay, here is the Green Day I know". 

Of couse, I have nothing to go by and it could be another divisive song like the first two.  Maybe even weirder. 

This could be a power ballad.

This could be the feel good song of 2020 and Billie Joe has tricked us again.

I’m going for a garage vibe, 80% Dos, 20% revrad

[21st_century_gloria]

I am really, really, really curious about that song that didn't make the album, y'know, the one BJA called "Everyone Has A Plan Until They Get Punched In The Face.”

[Eric]

I'm curious about what is to become of all seven(?) songs they cut.

Were they cut to save them for something else because they were the best ones? Were they cut because they weren't good? etc.
