Father of All Motherfuckers album - News and Media Coverage

[Guest]

I wasn't quite sure how I felt about the ending of Graffitia since I'm not really a fan of songs fading out. Now that I've heard it in better quality I absolutely love it though! Billies voice is so beautiful and it's a perfect ending to the album. The best since AI with Whatsername i think.

Better. It's the lost track from London Calling.

I'm still stuck between picking this up on CD or Vinyl.

This album is so fucking good. How they pull this off after 30+ years is beyond me. I seriously can't get over that their now two latest albums contain songs I deem some of their very best ever (Forever Now and Graffitia). Is FOAM on par with 21CB and AI for me? No, but it's still solid as fuck. Just a completely different type of album that I enjoy in another way.

I resolved to ignore leaks and wait for Friday, but I accidentally ended up hearing a 30 second or so snippet of Meet Me on the Roof before I realized what was going on, haha. It sounded like The Beatles and Elvis collaborated on helium balloons. Not bad by any means, but not what I was expecting. 

I'm drawing a comparison to the Trilogy in the sense of how BJA is singing in a more or less light/upbeat tune, but with generally dark lyrical content. Really puts meaning into those lines from Ashley:  "You say that you're fine/ but I know that you ain't" 🤔

If you are into vinyl - I say vinyl.

This is that gooooood shit. Album just sounds phenomenal. Current favorite is Take the Money and Crawl.

Lmao I mean I've read all the lyrics to all the songs anyway so I guess I kinda cheated  and yes I have a habit of overanalyzing

I'm sure by Friday I'll have a 90 page FOAM thesis to defend haha

All I got from this was "Anal" 

[That Dude]

"oh yeah" is in a ton of the songs.  

Just saw that azlyrics has the album up, so that's easier than trying to read that screen shot BS.   

It's in the title track.  

It's in "Oh Yeah".   

it's in "Junkies".   

It's in "Crawl"

Well, it's in 40 percent of the songs, anyway.   

 

Looks like they corrected the typos as well.  

 

This also makes it easier to see how the songs are constructed.  The songs are generally verse / chorus / verse / chorus / chorus, which is standard.   But the last chorus is changed up on most of the songs.

I agree and I often hate their choices for final tracks but this one was spot on. 

[Insomniac1984]

This is a solid record. In my opinion, the best starts from Meet me on the roof. From that song this record is like a delicious candy. FOAM (song), I like it but Billie's voice with so many falsettos...  Fire Ready Aim is an OK track for me, It's kinda The Hives and The Ramones had a baby or something. Oh yeah... It has good lyrics, but as a song is the weakest from the record.

I agree but on AI and 21cb they made good choices 

Amy for Dos was pretty good and Ordinary World was alright

Graffitia is perfect though

I give a thumbs down to Prosthetic Head (should have been Good Riddance), See The Light, The Forgotten and Ordinary World 👎

I agree about Prosthetic Head!!! Even since I was a kid I was like WHYYYYYYYYYYY

I actually like See The Light and can understand why it's the closer. Tre as an album is an absolute write off for me. 

Ordinary World was predictable but a good tune.

Tbh, I always thought that GD should've kept Lights Out as the last track and a follow-up to See the Light. Emo I guess but fitting imo.

Not a terrible idea

I dunno what the emo stuff has to do with it though

while See the Light was a hopeful closer, Lights Out was pretty dark and tinted with hopelessness, and I loved and still love Lights Out as a song

Technically it's I wanna see the light

it's dark but Billie just doesn't want it

Doesn't want what? The light? Then how is the light dark? Is it the light of darkness? what does that even mean? Death?
