stories and songs Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Also, consider how silly and half-assed FOAM art is versus the literal masterpiece that MOOTIK is trying to emulate. I have to think this all means something. Or we’ve all just lost our minds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerjeezus Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Billie won't let that trilogy sound die...I don't mind it but it's funny. Everything he's released since 2012 except for Foreverly has had that moment where you can tell he's back on his bullshit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pansyhunter Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Just now, DookieLukie said: They have a ton of other albums to play at stadiums. From what it seems like in the interview they're planning on dropping a follow up album after their contract with Warner is done. I'm interested if they're planning on dropping it really soon after the short album or not. It would make sense from a hype standpoint to release the new longer record before their tour though.

Thelongshot Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 I think there is definitely food for thought . But i can't help thinking this As well - would they risk their reputation by putting out an album they weren't totally committed to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(In terms of musical integrity.) Billie said in the interview that he just wanted to try singing like Prince and see what happens. Seems odd to put out a short album of the band just kind of fucking around musically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on their interviews, I do think they’re proud of FOAM and excited for the album. I’m sure the quality will be up to their normal standards. But it’s the minimum album-length requirement and the art is...weird, to say the least. I think it’ll be a good album, but just not their final plan for this era.

Everything he's released since 2012 except for Foreverly has had that moment where you can tell he's back on his bullshit. The trilogy had a few good songs here and there but I agree that I want them to go back to their more bolder theatrical sounds like AI and 21stCB. For me, they haven't topped those concept albums with any of their new music easily. The only song that reminds me of those albums from RevRad is "Forever Now."

I was gonna say "what reputation?" because they're pretty much has-beens at this point and whenever people think of green day, they usually think of their American Idiot times. But you're right, it's stupid to jeopardize their reputation among their fans --- which they already have done. Their fandom is already split into people who say "this is good" and "I absolutely hate this". This theory coming true is the only thing that could save them.

Exactly Like I said before, there's a chance that the albums are linked, kinda like the Trilogy Quote Another possibility is that the albums will be released as a pair (think the Trilogy), with FOAM representing the garage-rocky side of the group (think the first 4 albums, Dos, Longshot, and FBHT) and Magnum Opus represents the rock opera and experimental side (Warning, AI, 21CB, the stadium-ish stuff on Tre) Especially considering that one post earlier in this thread (too lazy to find it) that pointed out that the two album names are basically synonyms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, it just kind of sounds like what a teenage stoner would call something but...that would also fit Billie's MO. And thanks for the correction, btw.

Pollyanna Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 If you think about it, FOAMF was released just because gd had one more album w them on their contract. Green Day is forsure announcing Magnum in the next few days. That album art was real, and they might announce their next single Thursday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me with the short album and how they seemed glad to be done with their contract soon, I could see the last warner bros album being a fuck you type thing to corporations or companies. Although I thought they had a good partnership? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throwaway9802 Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Now that I'm looking over everything, I'm completely split on this theory Everything here is a valid point, but look at this: https://zz.reddit.com/r/greenday/comments/d0ha1m/theres_strong_evidence_that_the_recent_video/ The audio clips are exactly the same from the Longshot video, it's impossible to deny However, I also have such a hard time believing that FOAM is a 100% sincere effort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
