1972 project speculation thread

Kind of odd choices to pick as the worst songs. Cause I think they're all considered to be some of the better trilogy tracks. The demo of 99 Revolutions is far superior to the version on Tré. Stay the Night and Let Yourself Go are easily considered to be in the top 10 trilogy songs. Let Yourself Go especially, has an energy that isn't seen throughout the rest of the trilogy.

If your only issue is the repetitive choruses, there's a bunch of other older GD songs that you should have the same issue with like Why Do You Want Him, 86, Haushinka, Are We The Waiting, Platypus. Repetition isn't necessarily a bad thing

Yeah I don't disagree that repetition is necessarily a bad thing, but when it's a more generic version of classic rock, it just comes off as immature and annoying. I used to like those songs, but I don't think they hold up very well in comparison to pretty much everything else they've ever done.

Yeah can't decide whether Nimrod or Insomniac. I think production-wise a little more Nimrod, but instrumentally there's a bit that reminds of this part in Stuck With Me:

Yeah just getting that super fast, heavy distortion, power chord vibe of their hardest 90’s stuff. Could be my favorite album on the way. Add Rob Cavallo and this album can’t come soon enough 💚

This seems very unlike anything I’d expect from current Green Day, that said, it’s hard to make any guesses from a few seconds of music.

Can anyone post a link to the new teaser...the streamable one doesn't work.

Definitely, although as others have pointed out, I'm interested to see what the vocals will sound like. Also, I could be wrong, but going by the teasers I still think this project will cover several different styles of "classic Green Day". I think there'll be some stuff more reminiscent of 90s Green Day, some stuff that sounds like AI or 21CB and some stuff more similar to the trilogy. It really could be an attempt to look back at the band's long career, the good, the bad and the ugly. Just speculation though.

Uploaded it to YouTube too for easier access.

I would bet to double all the money I have that Rob Cavallo is the producer. That’s absolutely his voice. I wasn’t excited for this record at all since I hated REVRAD and FOAM. Now, I’m very excited 

[Jinxs]

is it just me or that sounds a lot like too much too soon .

The back of my head is the new Green Day album cover!  Way more obscure than Weezer's Hurley, way more hip.  Haha

My face is going to be on the back....this is what my entire life starting in 19-19-1985 has been leading up to.

He defenitely knows that we are discussing about „the head“. Mike is also teasing. It is getting bigger and bigger every day.

Forgot to ask about this. Did Mike post something about it too? What was the Mike tease?

[MillenniumFan]

The story with Rob's head and video which he took down very quickly seems like a definite nod to GDC rather than just to his general IG followers. But who knows.

I was never really excited for foam but this 1972 business has me feeling like a kid waiting for Christmas morning to get here.

Especially since he put 1972 specifically above Rob’s head scar!!!

To put this into a greater perspective, do we still think the fall or late fall release schedule makes sense? The teasers do seem to be ramping up now, though going by previous experience we could just as easily be in for a prolonged period of proverbial crickets (maybe especially so once the tour starts). Personally, I think a release after the hella mega tour dates still makes the most sense, but I'd be interested to hear some other opinions on this.

Yes especially if they are still in the studio. You’re a minimum of six months from any release

I missed everything. I shouldn't have drank three bottle of wines yesterday.

Billie can you please DM me I have a question.

I wonder with Rob Cavallo (probably) producing... Could we see Chris Lord-Alge mixing again?
