Christian's Inferno!'s internal dialogue: 

In all seriousness though, how exactly is repeating the chorus line twice indicative of the lyrical quality of the rest of the song?  

Granted, Billie's lyrical work post 21CB has been patchy, but let's at least wait until the song is out first. Give the poor man a chance haha.

Me, a genius, judging the entire album's lyrical quality based on a small clip of a single song we haven't at all heard in its entirety.

[Little Boy Named Booze]

Let Yourself Go is one of the best song on iUno! and the chorus is repetitive.

The "repetitive lyrics" complaint is one of the most overused complaints I hear about songs, and not just by Green Day. Yes, it can of course be a perfectly valid issue to have with songs. But people act like 1) that it only ever happened with modern Green Day songs (granted, it was less on older albums but still very much present) or 2) that the songs still can't be bangers. Homecoming ends with Billie basically singing "Home, we're coming home again" for 2 full minutes and it sounds fantastic. Let Yourself Go is a banger and is repetitive as fuck. 99 Revolutions is also very repetitive and I think the demo version still sounds great despite that. I even like Know Your Enemy a lot. Despite its repetitive chorus, I think lyrically it's still a very well written track

My main issue with repetitive songs is when already boring tracks are made more boring by the fact that the same line is repeated over and over again like Oh Yeah, or a song like I Was A Teenage Teenager which is already an abomination but then just repeats the exact same verse and chorus. It's the longest track on FOAMF but has the least to offer musically or lyrically. There can also be an issue with having multiple repetitive songs back to back like Let Yourself Go and Kill the DJ (even if I still enjoy both tracks quite a lot) but I think generally Green Day does pretty good at spacing these moments out in their albums so they don't come back to back

I really like what I heard so far. Which is 18 seconds of a song which likely will be around 180 seconds. I surely hope for something more than a song on the KYE or Revolution Radio style, but will have to wait for the remaining 162 seconds to understand what we have here. What I can judge here is the production style of vocals and instruments, and that kicks ass so far imho.

I’m hoping SNL gets them on too. They always reveal their guests as the weeks go by

[Jankowski576]

I hope they do a full Zane Lowe interview, he seems to always get the more unique and deeper responses out of bands

Yep. That’s one of the benefits of waiting this long to release.

Do you know since when the album was ready?

[GDFan2019]

Since the single is out next week, when do you guys think we’re getting the album? Could it be another February release or could it be like American Idiot or 21CB, which both were released just a few weeks after their first singles?

Haven't we been told over and over again early 2024? Why would it be any different now? Why would anybody be expected the album to release just a few weeks after the first single?

Is that our first band photo of the new era? 

[Austrian_Insomniac]

the more i listen to this teaser and compare it to OEB the more i think they are from the same sessions.. the vocals.. the guitars.. it must be a leftover or a album track of the new record.
