That was a really weird thing for him to say wasn’t it? I was all “since when”?! Does this mean he’s disavowing Jesus of Suburbia and Forever Now?  It’s like he’s undergone a personality change.

He also said he doesn't like rock bands trying to write "the feel good song of the year" and even called himself out for doing it. A lot of songs on RevRad were "feel good" rock songs.

It's telling that Billie specifically said that they started "taking away" from the FOAMF album. You would think the opposite and that they'd want to beef up a 26 min album. They're definitely holding on to some material.

Without a doubt! He wrote something like 54 songs for 21stCB if I remember correctly, and like 30 for Rev Rad. If this is a troll release like it seems to be, he probably made a bunch of short garage rock bangers and saved the higher quality stuff for their own releases. Not to knock the stuff that might be on FOAMF (lightly judging based on the first single), I like the sound well enough. But I think he's for sure written better songs than it in general.

Yeah this era just feels really weird. Everything about it is just confusing. It doesn't feel like Green Day. Billie not liking long songs when literally every GD project since AI has had at least 1 song that's 6+ minutes. It would've made sense if he was like "I haven't felt like writing long songs right now" or something like that but "I hate long songs" is so out of character for him

This era has weird vibes not unlike trilogy, but with trilogy things just didn't click, while now it looks like purposeful trolling. Or maybe it's too early to say. This is either absolutely awesome or a beginning of something terrible but so far it looks fun.

Thought: Could the copied album art be a reference to what Bowie did with The Next Day and Heroes?

Maybe he hates long songs because Warner probably "hates long songs" also and wants them to put out short...radio friendly songs? Maybe he's being sarcastic. Total guess but the whole vibe from today makes it sure as hell feel that way.

Maybe? But Bowie's cover didn't have such an explicitly mocking element to it.

Anybody else is curious who the person Billie so didn't want to induce them to HOF was?

[DookieLukie]

Billie also reference American Idiot on Zane Lowe and said how our current world made the time of AI look calm. Maybe the artwork is a commentary on that: AI but more chaos.

kinda fucking blows that Mike's best bass work of recent years was wasted on Nightlife and this song

Wait, there was bass on this song? ;D

I was thinking 5SOS. They love Green Day and are popular right now.

Ted Nugent or Kid Rock? 😂 The way he was talking made me think it was someone they had badmouthed before and didn’t want to hear them talking about them. Justin Bieber or Bon Jovi? 😂

You guys think this album'll be more polarizing than the trilogy?

It honestly might be. Just from the interview and how BJ seems kind of negative about warner bros and this album has ties to that, it could be viewed as a "wtf" moment for GD.

The Gangnam Style dude!

I love the cover i think it makes a statement. Like with walmart trying to scensor their records, the issue with political correctness and the peice of the AI album shows that the relevence is still there 15 years later, just a different idiot

The song reminds of the Black Keys

[JReevz]

I wonder if we’ll get any more songs from the album tonight at the show considering how short the entire project is

 

[Pansyhunter]

The thing that I don't really like about this as a GD fan is how on the fence I am about getting tickets for a show.  The new album being odd makes me already wary, and paying for a show that's two other bands besides GD that I have to drive 4-5 hours for and presumably pay at least 200 to get good seats....Seeing them for the first time in 2017, I was 100 percent sure I wanted to go, but now I'd feel like I'd be buying a ticket just to see GD again. Which could be worth it? Agh, this is so confusing. 

Part of it too is that when I bought tickets for 2017, I had heard the new album already and really enjoyed it (and obviously wanted to see them live.) But in this case fans have to buy the tickets before even getting to hear the full (short) album. Eh

My heart wants to believe the Magnus Opus/ Warner theory is true, but my brain tells me is probably halfway right.

Probably they DID deliberately made the album short and easy going just to quickly finish their contract with Warner and focus on more serious music later, but I don’t seen them leaving on bad terms with them. I mean obviously they are glad of leaving, they’re finally able to go to Otis and have that creative freedom and to record whatever they want, when they want, rather than having a major label pressuring their shoulders, it’s just a better deal.

So probably the album cover, title and that cringey text from Billie to the  d a И g e r o u s  k I d z   is 100% real in terms of them thinking it’s cool and fun instead of mocking Warner.

Which sucks.

[Signe]

I feel disappointed. The song is terrible and the artwork is so off putting  and not even in a cheap kind of way... its just ugly and embarrasing. I wont buy a copy of it. I will get the digital of Course, but anyway.

honestley, what the fuck happened? Is there a stroke we didnt know about? Are they ill? 

Revrad is not my favorite album, but its a good album. It had dignity. This is just... terrible?
