What's the concensus on the 1972 project ? Full album or EP ? Think ep, but maybe we'll be surprised and get a lp 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Dude Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 No album today. Drat. Maybe they will be rebels and release the new album on a Tuesday. 1972 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest sound like other band with Billie Joe as guest doing the background vocals i would argue that sugar youth is another one with green day vibes 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sugar Youth, Junkies on a High, and Take the Money and Crawl all have great Green Day vibes. As I have said many times, the singles are the weakest part of the album. I love Graffitia as a song but the production is awful. A very deep song got lost under all the claps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meet Me on the Roof is probably the best of the singles (title track is not bad either), but I didn't get the strongest Green Day vibes from it. Even if Walker is producing again, I doubt they go in the same direction as FOAM. I love the sound on Holy Toledo and if they can pair that sound with deep writing it will be great. One thing I have noticed on the post-FOAM singles is the return of drums. The drums were way too muted on FOAM. Please just let Tre do what Tre does best. More drums and less claps LOL.

Green Day needed a little life brought back to their sound. Rev Rad was self produced and was pretty evident. Foam is full of energy and the production is great. Crisp, loud, and full I think butch has is hands on this one. Recall his interview at NAMM last year? He said he was recording new Green Day music. I loved RevRad but it was clear to me they definitely could’ve used the help on the mixing process. The volume seemed to be too low in some places like the intro to Too Dumb To Die. 2 minutes ago, Lady Mix-A-Lot said: Meet Me on the Roof is probably the best of the singles (title track is not bad either), but I didn't get the strongest Green Day vibes from it.

Popular Post Jankowski576 Posted January 21, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 21, 2022 I’m hitting the optimistic point of the Butch walker news… the clips we’ve heard have been short but sound nothing like FOAM. Maybe everyone learned a lesson, and if Butch can just effectively capture new Green Day ideas maybe it will still be a great return to form 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian's Inferno! Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Tbh I don't even know if the issues with FOAMF really even had anything to do with Butch Walker. I wonder what it would've been like without Butch or with a different producer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie, get your gun Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 I had this crazy dream that 1972 was the band name of a new side project, with its own music and fashion style... and a new record was made, not some silly "ep" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowing FOAM was their last album with Warner, they made it sound as shitty as possible (by their standards anyway, as it’s still a pretty good album, just not maximum Green Day). Then in an interview, Billie said, “Maybe we’ll put out another album next year before the tour.” Then of course the pandemic delayed everything. I’m thinking he had all the 1972 songs written and ready to record, but decided to record the 3 singles first (HCTS, Pollyanna, and Holy Toledo) and decided to line this new record up with their 50th birthdays this year!!! 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes them look bad and is kind of a fuck you to the fans. Which is why I don't think that's what they did. I think they liked what they were making at the time and had a lot of fun creating and recording the songs together and that's why they made it 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No they did not try to make it sound shitty, he said FOAM was the most proud he’s been of any GD single. HCTS was FOAM leftover. It also was not them not trying it’s just uninspired songwriting. But there is not this master plan, and they’re still with Warner for distro 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greendepent Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 The amount of delusion and disappointment here mixed together is hilarious :lol: . If I'm gonna pinpoint problems in the production of FOAM, I'd throw my darts to the mastering engineer. He went crazy with the color and compression on the CD master. Hell, listening in vynil is like listening another different record. Butch did a great job as producer. If he didn't, the band wouldn't be working with him again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never listened to this on CD, so I can’t comment on that, but Butch Walker is the producer of the record, Brian Lucey did the mastering. Edit: sorry, I’m a bit drunk and misread your post, thought you were atributing the mastering to him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
