Popular Post Sanity Loan Posted December 20, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 20, 2021 Green Day have done EPs before (1,000 Hours in 1989 and Slappy in 1990) but they've never been an EP-heavy band so I'm intrigued by the material that will be on this one. Will they feel "album quality" or will they be fun, little one-offs? They've always seemed to be a band that values a 10+ song collection, labelled as an album, which the songs have a connection between them, ranging from a loose theme or a tightly-coupled story line. I'm super interested to see which direction this takes. We're seemingly in uncharted territory with the band likely to now have more say and control over what they release and when they release it. It's going to be exciting to see how they execute that and how it plays out. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyways, if they release 6 songs I really hope they do something on vinyl with them, like a one sided 12" or something. I'm guessing it'll be too long for a 7" And plus he didn’t shave his beard either 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bakabanas Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 The year 2022 is "an uncharted territory" for Green Day (quote from Sanity Loan due to my limited vocabulary). They seemed very happy at the shows (going to Paris show next year, with my sister!), and I am happy for them. I wonder, if the EP will be more uplifting than "sad GD mode ON"? Not carelessly uplifting like Trilogy or FOAM, more like Revolution Radio-like, but with more deviation from standard sound? So exciting to speculate as it is getting closer! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC77 Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 The "Casablanca" connection is an intriguing one, maybe they'll be a 40s Hollywood tinge to the promotional stuff or something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m also optimistic this will be a full LP, not an EP. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like it has to be related to their childhood, too much coincidence with that random phrase on Tre's post and the repeated reference to 1972. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the 1972 is a reference of course to the year they were all born but also specifically to Billie's birthday. He did suggest earlier that something big was coming for his birthday, and I have a feeling this is it. He said this on Oakland Coffee House: “I’m looking forward to my next birthday. I expect to get a lot of presents. Hint hint.” Birthday release seems likely https://coffeehouse.oaklandcoffee.com/morning-roasts/morning-roast-billie-joe-armstrong 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1972 thing kinda confirms it imo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HAPPY ZOMBIE UNICORN Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Honestly, I don’t care how the music will sound like, if it’s an EP, an LP, a concept album or a party extravaganza, and I know this might be very controversial but, please, please… #keepthebeard 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pacejunkie punk Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 I don’t know if they’d want to release an EP for each of their birthdays since not only is it reminiscent of the Trilogy (a failed project) but in 2022 Weezer is doing something very similar, releasing an EP for every season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
